Professional tooth cleaning and polishing

Professional dental hygiene treatment helps you preserve the health of your teeth.

It is delivered by a dentist or a dental hygienist who will remove any plaque from your teeth that may have built up in certain areas. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes, this process is also known as scaling and polishing.

If the surface of the tooth is smooth and clean, plaque is unable to form and thus by maintaining good oral hygiene we can prevent its reappearance.

1. Step: Cleaning

We remove any plaque with an ultrasonic scaler. The ultrasonic scaler does not damage tooth enamel. Its tip vibrates, only removing the plaque from the surface of the tooth.

2. Step: Tooth polishing

Ultrasonic scaling is always followed by a special tooth polishing procedure. This removes debris, stains and plaque without harming the surface of the tooth.

Polishing may be applied as a complementary treatment following plaque removal, but is also useful for cleaning the teeth prior to bleaching or pit and fissure sealing.

The best dental experience I have ever had (even though I am scared of dentist) Dr.Thomas was very helpful with explaining and his dental assistant was very generous and kind with any questions I had

I have used Rathgar Dental for a number of rod years now having had treatment with their sister company Acess Smile in Budapest. The service gRey provide is excellent and I find their staff to be really helpful and friendly and explain clearly what treatment will entail. I have no hesitation in recommending them for all your dental needs.

I have struggled with dentists for a while but I can honestly say Dr.Tamaz is exceptional and puts you at ease as well. During procedures he talks you through each step and makes sure you know the direction he is going. On top of this is is priced very well and his assistant always makes sure to follow up with appointments. Overall I went for 6-7 visits, root canals and removal of old fillings that had cracked. Exceptional and highly recommend. They also got to know you as a patient.
