Scaling and polishing remove hard tartar, plaque and surface stains that regular brushing cannot reach, keeping gums healthy and teeth smoother and brighter.
Scaling uses ultrasonic and hand instruments to remove plaque and calculus deposits from tooth surfaces and between teeth, especially near the gum line. Polishing then smooths the enamel with a rotating rubber cup and paste, removing surface stains and making it harder for new plaque to stick.
