Scaling & Polishing

What is it?
Scaling and polishing is a dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth to maintain oral hygiene and improve dental aesthetics.

About Scaling & Polishing

Scaling and polishing are essential components of routine dental cleanings. Scaling involves the use of specialized instruments to remove plaque and tartar that accumulate on the teeth and below the gumline. Polishing follows scaling and uses a mild abrasive paste to smooth the tooth surfaces and remove surface stains. This procedure helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath while enhancing the overall appearance of the teeth. Regular scaling and polishing are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues.

The longevity of results varies by procedure. Surgical results, like rhinoplasty and facelifts, are generally long-lasting, often lasting for years. While procedures do not halt aging, following recommended care and lifestyle habits can help maintain results over time. We’ll discuss expected outcomes for your specific treatment during your consultation.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation. We help patients determine which procedure aligns with their goals during the consultation process.

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their outcomes. Factors such as age, skin elasticity, bone structure, and overall health all play a role in determining suitability. We conduct detailed consultations to help each patient understand which procedures align best with their goals and expectations.
