A scale and clean removes plaque and hardened deposits that brushing alone cannot remove. It is also an opportunity to discuss bleeding gums, sensitivity or areas that are difficult to clean at home.
At Parramatta Dentistry | Cosmetique Dental, we explain what your teeth and gums need and make recommendations based on your oral health. If it has been a while since your last visit, tell us when you book. We can help you get started.
Bring your medical history, medication details and any dental health fund information. Tell us if you have sensitivity, dental anxiety or a concern you would like us to focus on.
Your clinician checks your teeth and gums, removes plaque and tartar and may polish surface stains. We will explain any recommended fluoride treatment and give you advice for cleaning at home. The approach is tailored to your needs.
Some people experience sensitivity, particularly around inflamed gums or exposed roots. Let us know before and during your appointment so we can discuss ways to make treatment more comfortable.
Professional cleaning is designed to remove deposits from tooth surfaces. Your clinician assesses the condition of your teeth and gums and chooses an appropriate approach. Ask us about any particular concern before treatment.
Removing surface stains can make teeth look cleaner, but a scale and clean does not change their underlying shade. If you are interested in whitening, ask your dentist whether it would be suitable after your oral health assessment.
Our new patient offer is $219 without a health fund, or no-gap for eligible patients with dental extras cover. It includes an examination and consultation, scale and clean, fluoride, and bitewing and panoramic X-rays where clinically needed. Additional treatment is discussed and quoted separately.
Gum disease may require treatment beyond a routine clean. Your clinician will assess your gums and explain any recommended periodontal treatment, appointments and costs. This is quoted separately from the new patient check-up offer.
Request our price guide as a starting point, then speak with us about an itemised quote for your individual care. We will explain what is included and any additional treatment that may be needed.
