This is the least dramatic thing we do and by a wide margin the most valuable. Decay and gum disease are both painless in their early stages, which is exactly when they are quick and inexpensive to deal with. By the time a tooth hurts, the options are usually fewer and more expensive.
Hardened deposit — calculus, or tartar — cannot be removed by brushing at any level of effort. It has to be removed with instruments. That is what scaling is.
Every tooth checked for decay, existing fillings and crowns checked, gums assessed, and a check of the soft tissues of the mouth, tongue and throat. That last part is a screening for oral cancer, which matters a great deal in a country with high tobacco and paan use.
Decay between teeth is not visible to the eye until it is well advanced. We take radiographs when clinically indicated rather than at every visit.
Deposits removed from above and below the gum line. If your gums are inflamed this can be tender; tell us and we can numb the area.
Removes surface stain and leaves the teeth smooth, which slows how quickly new deposit forms.
We tell you plainly what we found, what needs doing now, what can be watched, and what it will cost — before you commit to anything.
No. This is a common worry and it is the wrong way round. What people feel is that the deposit which was splinting the teeth and filling the spaces has gone. Ultrasonic scaling removes deposit, not enamel.
Every six months suits most people. If you have gum disease, diabetes, or smoke, three to four monthly is usually more appropriate. We will tell you what applies to you rather than giving a blanket answer.
Scaling is more uncomfortable when the gums are already inflamed, which is itself a finding. Once the gums are healthy, cleaning appointments are generally comfortable.
That is precisely when to come. Decay and gum disease do not hurt early on. A check-up is how a small filling gets found before it becomes a root canal.

After
BeforeThick tartar and stubborn tobacco stains had accumulated along the gumline causing early gingival inflammation. Completely cleared with gentle ultrasonic scaling, restoring gum attachment.
After
BeforeEarly decay on the aesthetic zone of an upper tooth was excavated and filled with natural micro-hybrid composite, arresting decay progression and preventing the need for root canal therapy.
After
BeforeRoutine 6-monthly dental clean removing stubborn plaque deposits from hard-to-reach interdental spaces, stopping bleeding gums and bad breath.
Guidelines from Dr. Srushti Patel following your treatment:
Periodontal therapy
Treats bleeding, receding or infected gums and the bone loss behind loose teeth, before teeth are lost to it.
Cosmetic dentistry
Professional whitening, composite bonding and veneers to change the colour, shape or alignment of the front teeth.
Paediatric dentistry
Check-ups, fluoride, sealants and fillings for children, in a way that does not leave them frightened of dentists.
Tell us what is bothering you and we will find a time that works. If you are in pain, please call rather than sending a form — we will get you seen sooner.
