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 like Dr. Luis Solorzano 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

I have thought of having teeth implants for a while but I was under the impression that I was too old to have the treatment. Anyway,I kept seeing the adverts for dental by design and thought I would get their opinion. As soon as I got there I was welcomed by the friendliest reception staff I have ever known. On meeting Rob I was immediately put at ease as he checked out my teeth and then quickly assessed that it was possible to do the treatment.. When I went in to have the surgery I was understandably apprehensive but that soon disappeared as I felt that I was very safe in robs hands. The surgery went so well that I was able to go home on public transport. Thanks again Rob . great job. I have now had the final fitting and the implants look and feel great Peter schia
