Scaling & Polishing

Gentle & Thorough Cleaning with Your Local Ferntree Gully Dentist

At Mountain Gate Dental Clinic, we provide professional scale and polish treatments to help keep your teeth and gums healthy. This routine procedure involves removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth using an ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments, followed by a gentle polish to leave your smile feeling fresh and clean.

As your trusted dentist in Ferntree Gully, we also offer advanced gum cleaning for patients with signs of periodontal (gum) disease. When plaque hardens into tartar beneath the gum line, it can lead to serious oral health issues. Deep cleaning, also known as root planing or periodontal therapy, is used to remove these deposits and promote healing.

In some cases, we may use a local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Our team then carefully removes the build-up using specialised tools and smooths the root surfaces to support gum reattachment and long-term stability.

Whether you’re due for a routine clean or need more advanced gum treatment, we’re here to help at Mountain Gate Dental Clinic, your local Ferntree Gully dentist.
