Overview

A simple clean with lasting benefits

A scale and polish removes the hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains that build up over time — the kind that everyday brushing simply can’t shift.

It leaves your teeth feeling smooth and clean, helps keep your gums healthy, and is the foundation of good long-term oral health.

Scale & polish questions, answered

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our friendly team is only a phone call away.

A scale and polish is a routine clean, while fuller hygiene therapy treats gum disease more intensively. We’ll recommend the right option for you.

It removes surface staining for a cleaner, brighter look, but it won’t change your natural tooth shade — whitening does that.

Typically every six months, though your dentist or hygienist may suggest more often depending on your needs.

Most people find it completely comfortable; let us know if your teeth are sensitive and we’ll take extra care.
