Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is one of the most effective and safest methods for removing dental calculus (tartar) and plaque. It helps maintain oral health and significantly reduces the risk of gum diseases.
Tartar forms when soft plaque mineralizes under the influence of saliva and hardens. It tends to accumulate in hard-to-reach areas where a regular toothbrush cannot clean effectively. If not removed, tartar can cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), bleeding, and bad breath.
The procedure is performed using an ultrasonic scaler — a specialized device that produces high-frequency vibrations to break apart hardened deposits without damaging the enamel. After the scaling process, the teeth are thoroughly rinsed and polished to slow down future buildup.
Benefits of ultrasonic cleaning:
- Efficient removal of tartar and pigmented plaque.
- Reduced risk of gum inflammation and periodontal disease.
- Fresher breath and improved oral hygiene.
- Painless and causes minimal discomfort.
- Enhanced appearance of your smile.
The procedure typically takes 30–40 minutes and is suitable for patients with mild to heavy tartar buildup. After cleaning, it is recommended to avoid consuming staining drinks (such as coffee, tea, or red wine) and acidic foods for a few hours to preserve results.
