Professional Scale & Polish Treatment

The foundation of excellent oral health

Professional dental hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout your life. Our experienced dental hygienists use advanced techniques including ultrasonic scaling, hand instrumentation, and Airflow polishing to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that cannot be eliminated through home care alone. Regular hygiene appointments every 6 months help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath while maintaining your smile's natural brightness. We provide personalised oral health education and home care advice to help you maintain optimal results between visits. For patients with gum disease or higher risk factors, we may recommend more frequent cleanings every 3-4 months as part of a comprehensive periodontal maintenance program.

The Hidden Costs of Delaying Dental Hygiene

Regular professional cleaning prevents serious oral health problems that become expensive and painful to treat.

Gingivitis progresses to aggressive periodontitis without treatment

Scientific Evidence:

Papapanou PN et al., J Clin Periodontol (2018): Untreated gingivitis leads to periodontal disease in 70% of cases within 3-5 years. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29926496/ - Tonetti MS et al., J Periodontol (2017): Early intervention with professional cleaning prevents progression to severe gum disease. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28585876/

Plaque bacteria increase risk of heart disease and stroke

Scientific Evidence:

Lockhart PB et al., Circulation (2012): Oral bacteria from gum disease directly linked to cardiovascular events. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22392862/ - Winning L et al., Heart (2013): Regular dental cleanings reduce heart attack risk by 24%. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23749878/

Tooth loss accelerates without regular professional cleaning

Scientific Evidence:

Eke PI et al., J Dent Res (2015): Adults who skip regular cleanings lose 2.5x more teeth by age 65. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25672119/ - Kassebaum NJ et al., J Dent Res (2014): Severe periodontal disease affects 11% of global population, mostly preventable. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25261053/

Bad breath becomes chronic without addressing bacterial causes

Scientific Evidence:

Cortelli JR et al., J Clin Periodontol (2008): Halitosis caused by periodontal bacteria requires professional treatment to resolve. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18318727/ - Van der Sleen MI et al., Int J Dent Hyg (2010): Regular scaling reduces volatile sulfur compounds causing bad breath. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20518997/

Don't Wait Any Longer

This place is the right place when we are talking about dentistry. I was welcomed by the receptionist in a very polite way, there was two of them and they offered me water to make me feel comfortable as I was rushing to not be late for my appointment. The clinic is easy to find, but I was a bit lost with my phone map. They are 2 min from the station. My dentist went into details with regards to what I needed and after I had someone explaining to me methods of payment. She helped me to do the application online and I am able to pay for my treatment in 24 months interest free. If I knew it was that easy, I would visit you earlier. Thank you Dental by Design Team.
