Professional teeth cleaning

Professional dental cleaning is more than just a cosmetic treatment. It removes not only stubborn dental plaque, discoloration, and bacteria but also prevents cavities, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Thus, you protect not only your teeth but also your cardiovascular system, as chronic gingivitis can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.

If you want to whiten (bleach) your teeth, a dental cleaning is indispensable!

Individual consultation and assessment of personal risk factors (caries, periodontitis, dental prosthetics) and habits (smoking, coffee and tea consumption) are necessary to determine whether teeth cleaning is required for you.

A Professional dental cleaning takes approximately 30 – 60 minutes and is carried out by our qualified and friendly dentists. It includes the following steps:

• A thorough examination of your teeth and gums
• Gentle removal of tartar
• A cleaning of your interdental spaces and tooth surfaces with a special powder jet device that works with different powders depending on the application. This procedure effectively removes bacteria and plaque from hard-to-reach areas.
• Your teeth are polished and optionally sealed with a fluoride-containing varnish that strengthens and remineralizes the tooth enamel
• Individual advice on your oral hygiene and diet

Cost

The cost of a professional dental cleaning varies depending on the scope and duration of the treatment but usually ranges between 65 and 110 euros1

However, many statutory health insurance companies offer their insured members a subsidy or reimbursement, either directly or in the form of a bonus program. The amount and conditions of the subsidy or reimbursement vary from fund to fund and can also change. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you inquire with your health insurance company before treatment to find out if and how much they will cover for a professional dental cleaning.
