Prevention & professional cleaning
Helping you keep your teeth and implants healthy for the long term matters to us.
In addition to your oral hygiene at home, we recommend regular professional teeth cleaning and, if necessary, cleaning below the gumline (see also Periodontics). How often cleaning makes sense depends on your individual risk.
Only staff specially trained for this work care for, clean and polish your teeth.
After a thorough examination and assessment of your personal oral hygiene, all teeth are cleaned of hard and soft bacterial deposits, as well as stains from nicotine, tea or coffee, for example. Polishing with carefully selected pastes then leaves your teeth feeling pleasantly smooth. It can also help reduce the build-up of new plaque (bacterial film), which can contribute to bad breath. Deposits along the gumline are removed too. If there are deeper gum pockets, we discuss periodontal treatment with you.
Finally, fluoride is applied as a gel, varnish or paste, depending on your needs, to strengthen the enamel. We round off the appointment by recommending suitable oral care products and advising you on how to improve your care at home. Depending on your findings, the appointment usually takes 60–90 minutes. In this way, we actively help you keep your teeth healthy and attractive – for life, if possible. Regular check-ups can also help to detect changes early.
