What Polishing & Stain Removal Involves
Professional Tooth Polishing
After scaling, a specialised polishing paste and rotating brush are used to gently clean the outer surfaces of the teeth. This helps lift extrinsic surface stains (such as those from tea or coffee) and leaves the teeth looking refreshed and feeling smoother.
Refining the Enamel Surface
Polishing smooths the enamel, creating a more refined and refreshed finish.
A smoother surface may also make it slightly more difficult for plaque to accumulate again quickly
Why Regular Examinations Are Important
Reducing Surface Stains
Polishing helps lift and reduce external staining from the enamel. This helps achieve a cleaner, brighter smile after your professional dental cleaning.
Smoothing Tooth Surfaces
By refining the enamel, polishing leaves teeth feeling smoother and more comfortable. A smoother surface also contributes to a cleaner overall impression.
Improving Smile Appearance
Teeth often look fresher and more polished following treatment. It is important to note that polishing does not change the natural shade of your teeth.
What to Expect After Treatment
Smoother, Cleaner Feel
After polishing, teeth usually feel noticeably smoother and fresher. Many patients report an immediate sense of cleanliness following treatment.
Reduced Surface Staining
Surface stains may appear lighter or less noticeable. The level of improvement varies depending on the type and depth of staining.
Easier Ongoing Maintenance
Smoother enamel surfaces can reduce the likelihood of plaque adherence. Regular hygiene visits help maintain these results over time.
