PROFESSIONAL DENTAL CLEANING IN DRESDEN

Professional dental cleaning for healthy and well-cared-for teeth

A professional dental clean helps to carefully remove bacterial plaque, tartar and stains. At the same time, it supports the long-term health of your teeth and gums and ensures a clean and fresh feeling in your mouth.


HEALTHY TEETH IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Professional teeth cleaning
is about more than just clean teeth

Even with careful oral hygiene, plaque builds up in hard-to-reach areas as part of everyday life. A professional dental cleaning allows these areas to be thoroughly cleaned and helps reduce potential risks at an early stage.

Many patients appreciate not only the fresh feeling after the treatment, but also the peace of mind that comes with regular preventive care. Professional teeth cleaning supports the health of your teeth and gums and helps to remove bacterial plaque at an early stage. At our dental practice in Dresden, professional teeth cleaning is carried out carefully, gently and tailored to your individual dental situation.

MODERN DENTAL CARE

Why a professional dental
clean-up is a good idea

A professional dental cleaning helps to remove bacterial plaque, biofilm and tartar at an early stage, thereby reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum inflammation and periodontitis.

Daily oral hygiene is often not sufficient, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. Even with dental floss and mouthwash, there are still areas where bacteria can accumulate. Regular professional teeth cleaning therefore not only supports dental health but also contributes to a pleasant feeling in the mouth and well-maintained teeth.

Many patients opt for regular professional teeth cleaning to keep their teeth healthy in the long term and to avoid more extensive treatment wherever possible.

YOUR BENEFITS

What can help with a professional dental clean

Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitis

Regular dental cleanings help to remove bacterial plaque at an early stage and prevent inflammation.

Supporting general health

Scientific studies show links between inflammation in the mouth and general health conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Well-maintained and smooth tooth surfaces

Polishing the teeth can often slow down the build-up of new plaque.

Removal of discolouration

Stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine or nicotine can be visibly reduced.

Gentle removal of tartar

Hard deposits are carefully removed before they can cause damage to the gums and periodontium.

Long-term tooth preservation

Regular professional dental cleaning can help to minimise the need for major procedures and complex dental prostheses.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY

Gentle teeth cleaning
using a modern powder jet system

For professional teeth cleaning, we use a modern, air-powered tooth polishing system. This allows biofilm, discolouration and fresh plaque to be removed particularly gently. The cleaning and polishing are carried out in a single step. This often reduces the need for uncomfortable scraping of the teeth with instruments. Many patients therefore find the treatment pleasant and gentle. The procedure is suitable for natural teeth as well as implants, crowns and other restorations.

Further information, including example videos, can be found, for example, on the EMS website.

A PLEASANT TASTE IN THE MOUTH

Clean teeth you
can really feel

After a professional dental clean, many patients particularly appreciate the smooth, fresh feeling on their teeth. At the same time, they feel confident that they have done something beneficial for their long-term dental health.

“After the treatment, my teeth always feel pleasantly smooth and clean. At the same time, I have the satisfying feeling that I’m doing something for my long-term dental health.”

— Claudia K. (48), patient

HOW WE WORK

This is how a professional dental clean-up is carried out

Our preventive care specialists take the time to ensure your treatment is thorough and as comfortable as possible. Professional teeth cleaning is carried out in accordance with the latest scientific guidelines.

Examination and consultation

To begin with, we examine your teeth and gums carefully and tailor the treatment to your individual circumstances. You will also receive personalised advice on oral hygiene and the next steps.

Cleaning and Polishing

Hard and soft deposits are removed using hand-held instruments and modern ultrasonic equipment. We then carefully clean the spaces between the teeth and remove discolouration using a gentle powder jet device.

Protection and check-up

Finally, the tooth surfaces are polished and protected with a fluoride varnish. A dentist then checks the treatment and discusses recommendations for future check-ups.

“Regular dental check-ups help to maintain dental health in the long term and detect any changes at an early stage.”

— Iro Karouzaki-Heindel, dentist

COSTS AND GRANTS

Many health insurance funds contribute
towards the costs

The cost of a professional dental clean-up is around 125 euros, depending on the extent of the treatment and the individual’s dental condition. Many statutory health insurance funds subsidise professional dental clean-ups or cover part of the costs. 

Depending on your insurance policy, patients may be reimbursed
up to 60 euros or more.

Please check with your health insurance provider about any subsidies available before your treatment. We’re happy to assist you with any questions regarding billing. Payment is conveniently made by invoice. This allows sufficient time for any reimbursement from your health insurance provider.

REGULAR PREVENTATIVE CARE

How often a professional dental
clean is recommended

How often a professional dental clean is recommended depends on your personal oral hygiene and the condition of your teeth. Many patients benefit from regular appointments every six months.

If there is an increased risk of tooth decay or periodontitis, more frequent check-ups may be advisable. This includes, amongst others, smokers, patients who develop tartar quickly, those with deep gum pockets, or those with existing gum disease.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy or certain medicines can also cause plaque and discolouration to build up more quickly.
