About Professional Teeth Cleaning

Professional teeth cleaning is a comprehensive dental procedure performed by a dental hygienist or dentist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth surfaces that cannot be eliminated through regular brushing and flossing at home. The process typically includes a physical examination, removal of plaque and tartar using specialised tools, cleaning with gritty toothpaste, expert flossing, and sometimes additional treatments like AIR-FLOW therapy which uses water, compressed air and fine powder particles to polish teeth. This preventative treatment not only improves oral aesthetics but also helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues by thoroughly cleaning hard-to-reach areas, making it an essential component of maintaining optimal oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists removes plaque and tartar that regular brushing can't reach. Our hygienists carefully clean all surfaces, polish your teeth, and help prevent gum disease. Many patients wonder about costs, benefits, and what happens during treatment. We understand you may have questions about professional cleaning—whether it's your first visit or you're maintaining your oral health. Our team provides thorough, gentle care tailored to your needs, ensuring your smile stays healthy and bright. Regular professional cleaning prevents dental problems, saves money long-term, and keeps your smile looking its best.

What is professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists?


Professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists is a thorough dental procedure performed by our qualified dental hygienists or dentists. During this treatment, we carefully remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and bacteria from all surfaces of your teeth, including difficult-to-reach areas. The procedure typically includes scaling to remove tartar, polishing to eliminate stains, and flossing between teeth. Our specialists use professional-grade instruments and techniques that are significantly more effective than home brushing and flossing alone.



How often should I get my teeth professionally cleaned?


Most patients benefit from professional teeth cleaning every six months. However, at London Dental Specialists, we create personalised care plans based on your specific oral health needs. Patients with gum disease, a history of rapid tartar build-up, or certain medical conditions may require more frequent cleanings, typically every three to four months. During your initial consultation, our dental team will assess your oral health status and recommend an appropriate cleaning schedule.



What are the benefits of regular professional teeth cleaning?


Regular professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists offers numerous benefits, including:



  • Prevention of gum disease and tooth decay

  • Removal of stubborn stains for a brighter smile

  • Early detection of dental issues before they become serious

  • Fresher breath and improved oral hygiene

  • Reduction in the risk of systemic health problems linked to poor oral health

  • Potential savings on future dental treatments by preventing complications



How much does professional teeth cleaning cost at London Dental Specialists?


At London Dental Specialists, professional teeth cleaning typically costs between £80 and £120. The exact price depends on several factors, including the condition of your teeth, the extent of tartar build-up, and whether you require a standard clean or a more intensive deep cleaning procedure. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation and offer various payment options to make quality dental care accessible.



What's the difference between regular brushing and professional teeth cleaning?


While daily brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining oral health, they cannot completely remove tartar (hardened plaque) that builds up over time. Professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists uses specialised instruments to safely remove tartar from all tooth surfaces, including below the gumline where your toothbrush cannot reach. Our dental professionals also have the training and tools to identify early signs of dental problems that might go unnoticed during your home care routine.



Is professional teeth cleaning painful?


Most patients experience little to no discomfort during professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists. You may feel slight pressure or mild sensitivity during the procedure, particularly if you have significant tartar build-up or gum inflammation. For patients with dental anxiety or heightened sensitivity, we offer various comfort options including local anaesthesia for deeper cleanings. Our gentle approach and modern techniques ensure the most comfortable experience possible.



What happens during a professional teeth cleaning appointment?


A professional teeth cleaning appointment at London Dental Specialists typically involves:



  1. Oral examination to assess your dental health

  2. Scaling to remove plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces

  3. Polishing to remove surface stains and smooth the teeth

  4. Flossing to clean between teeth

  5. Application of fluoride treatment if recommended

  6. Personalised oral hygiene advice

  7. Discussion of any concerns and scheduling of follow-up appointments



How long does a professional teeth cleaning appointment take?


A standard professional teeth cleaning appointment at London Dental Specialists typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes. The exact duration depends on the condition of your teeth, the amount of tartar build-up, and whether additional treatments are needed. For patients requiring a more intensive deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), the procedure may be divided into multiple appointments of approximately one hour each to ensure comfort and thoroughness.



Can professional teeth cleaning whiten my teeth?


Professional teeth cleaning at London Dental Specialists can significantly brighten your smile by removing surface stains caused by foods, beverages, and tobacco. This results in a noticeably cleaner, more polished appearance. However, it's important to understand that professional cleaning removes external stains but doesn't change the natural colour of your teeth. For patients seeking more dramatic whitening results, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that can be discussed during your cleaning appointment.
