Professional Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing cannot. Using gentle ultrasonic technology and professional polishing, your teeth are left cleaner, smoother, and naturally brighter while helping protect your gums from disease. It is one of the most effective ways to maintain long-term oral health.
Professional teeth cleaning, also known as a scale and polish, is the foundation of preventive dentistry. Even with good brushing and flossing, plaque gradually hardens into tartar (calculus), which cannot be removed at home. Over time, tartar builds up around the gumline and between the teeth, increasing the risk of gum disease, bleeding, bad breath, tooth decay, and eventually tooth loss.
During your appointment, our dental hygiene team removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains using modern ultrasonic technology that is gentle on both enamel and gums. The ultrasonic scaler uses high-frequency vibrations and a constant flow of water to loosen hardened deposits comfortably and efficiently.
After cleaning, every tooth is polished to remove any remaining stains and leave the surface smooth. This helps reduce future plaque build-up while giving your teeth a cleaner, brighter appearance. Patients usually notice fresher breath, healthier gums, and a smooth feeling that brushing alone cannot achieve.
Professional cleaning removes stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and everyday foods, restoring your teeth to their natural colour. If you would like your smile to be several shades whiter, professional teeth whitening can be performed after your cleaning for a brighter result.
Every appointment also includes an assessment of your oral health. We examine your gums, check for early signs of gum disease, cavities, gum recession, tooth wear, and sensitivity so that any problems can be treated before they become more complex.
If you are travelling to Albania, professional cleaning can easily be combined with other dental treatments during the same visit. Before you travel, our dentists prepare a free treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect.
There is no downtime - you can eat, drink, and carry on with your day straight after your appointment, though it helps to wait a little before strongly coloured foods and drinks so your freshly polished teeth stay bright.
Ideal für: Anyone who wants healthier gums, fresher breath, and a cleaner, brighter smile - and a smart first step before whitening, veneers, crowns, braces, or implants.

Eignung
Für wen ist diese Behandlung?
You have plaque, tartar, or staining
Professional cleaning removes hardened deposits and stains that cannot be removed with brushing alone.
Your gums bleed or feel sensitive
Bleeding or swollen gums are often early signs of gum disease. Early treatment helps prevent more serious problems.
You want fresher breath
Removing plaque and bacteria improves oral hygiene and helps eliminate bad breath.
You're planning cosmetic or restorative treatment
Healthy gums provide the best foundation for veneers, implants, crowns, and orthodontic treatment.
Heilung
Heilung & Erholung
Immediately After Treatment
You can return to your normal routine straight after your appointment. Your mouth will feel cleaner and your teeth smoother.
First 24–48 hours
Some patients notice mild sensitivity, especially around exposed roots. This usually settles within a day or two. For the best cosmetic result, avoid coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other strongly coloured foods or drinks for a few hours after polishing.
Long-term
Brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings will help maintain healthy gums and reduce future plaque build-up.
Nachsorge
Pflege Ihres Ergebnisses
Brush twice a day
Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Clean between your teeth
Floss or use interdental brushes every day to remove plaque between the teeth.
Attend regular cleanings
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. Some conditions may require more frequent maintenance.
Reduce smoking
Smoking increases staining and the risk of gum disease while slowing healing. Quitting or reducing smoking improves both oral health and long-term results.
Planung
Ihr Plan & Transparenz

Häufig gestellt
Fragen zu professional teeth cleaning
How often should I have a professional cleaning?+
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. Patients with gum disease, dental implants, braces, or heavy tartar build-up may need more frequent visits. We will recommend the right schedule after your examination.
Does professional cleaning hurt?+
Most patients find the treatment comfortable. Modern ultrasonic equipment removes tartar with minimal pressure, making it much gentler than traditional hand scaling. If your teeth or gums are particularly sensitive, local anaesthetic can be used.
Will professional cleaning whiten my teeth?+
Professional cleaning removes stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and everyday foods, making your teeth look cleaner and brighter. It restores your natural tooth colour but does not bleach the teeth. If you would like a noticeably whiter smile, professional teeth whitening can be carried out after your cleaning.
Can I combine a cleaning with other treatments?+
Yes. Professional cleaning is often the first step before whitening, veneers, crowns, implants, or orthodontic treatment. Many international patients combine several procedures during the same visit.
Is professional cleaning safe for enamel?+
Yes. Ultrasonic cleaning removes tartar without damaging healthy enamel. Regular professional cleaning is one of the safest and most effective ways to protect your teeth and gums over the long term.
