SCALE AND POLISH

Polish Up That Smile!

Ready to give your teeth a little TLC? Our Scale and Polish treatment at Shackleton Dental is the ultimate refresh for your pearly whites. Think of it as a mini spa day for your mouth—minus the cucumber slices. Whether you’re prepping for a big event, or just want to keep your smile looking its best, a scale and polish will leave your teeth feeling smooth, sparkling, and super clean. Perfect for anyone who wants to give their smile a boost!

What Is a Scale and Polish?

A Scale and Polish is a two-step treatment that’s all about deep cleaning your teeth. First, we tackle any plaque and tartar build-up with a thorough scaling. Then, we polish your teeth to smooth out any rough spots and leave them gleaming. It’s a quick and easy way to maintain your oral health and keep your smile looking fabulous!

What is our Process?

  1. Get Comfortable:
    We’ll start by making sure you’re comfy in the chair. Our friendly team will chat with you about what to expect and answer any questions you have.
  2. The Scale:
    Using specialised tools, we’ll carefully remove any plaque and tartar from your teeth—especially in those tricky spots your toothbrush can’t quite reach. Don’t worry, it’s a gentle process, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable throughout.
  3. The Polish:
    Once your teeth are tartar-free, it’s time to polish them up! We’ll use a high-quality paste to smooth your teeth’s surfaces and remove any superficial stains. The result? A brighter, shinier smile that feels as good as it looks.
  4. Freshen Up:
    Finally, we’ll rinse your mouth and leave you with that oh-so-fresh feeling. You’ll walk out with a smile that’s not just cleaner, but also healthier and ready to dazzle.

FAQs

How often should I get a scale and polish?

We recommend every six months, but it really depends on your oral health. If you’re prone to plaque or tartar, you might need it more often. We’ll give you personalised advice at your appointment.

Does a scale and polish hurt?

Not at all! The process is gentle, and while you might feel a little pressure during the scaling, it’s generally painless. If you have sensitive teeth, let us know—we’ll make sure you’re comfortable.

Will a scale and polish whiten my teeth?

While it’s not a whitening treatment, the polish can remove surface stains and make your teeth look brighter. For a bigger boost, ask us about our teeth whitening options!

Can I eat and drink after a scale and polish?

Yes, but it’s best to wait about 30 minutes after the treatment. This gives your teeth a chance to settle. After that, you’re free to enjoy your favourite foods—just try to avoid staining culprits like coffee and red wine for a little while.

Who Is a Scale and Polish For?

A Scale and Polish is for everyone! Whether you’re a dedicated brusher or someone who occasionally forgets to floss, this treatment is key to maintaining good oral hygiene. It’s especially great if you’re prone to plaque build-up or if you just want your teeth to look and feel their best. We recommend getting a scale and polish every six months as part of your regular dental routine.
