Dental Cleaning
Guided Biofilm Therapy for teeth, gums, and tongue — plus restoration-safe protocols for implants and veneers.
- Comprehensive Assessment
- Digital Imaging When Needed
- Personalized Treatment Plan
- Transparent Recommendations
When a cleaning is due.
Brushing and flossing reach about 60% of the tooth surface on a good day. Professional cleaning handles the rest — and the buildup that hardens into tartar between visits.
- Routine six-month check, regardless of symptoms
- Bleeding gums, gum inflammation, or early signs of gingivitis
- Persistent bad breath that brushing doesn't fix
- Braces, aligners, or orthodontic appliances trapping plaque
- Dental implants, veneers, crowns, or bridges needing specialised care
- Smoker, frequent coffee or tea drinker, or visible surface stains
Four cleaning protocols.
Tap a treatment for what it's used for, how it's planned, and how it's kept comfortable.
- Best for
- Most patients, including those with braces, aligners, implants, or veneers
- Planning
- Stain disclosure first, so the hygienist can see exactly what to remove
- Comfort
- Minimally invasive · Low sensitivity
Ask about guided biofilm therapy (gbt)Patient benefits- Removes biofilm at the source — the cause of cavities, gum disease, and implant infections.
- Lifts surface stains without scratching enamel.
- Minimises sensitivity during and after the procedure.
- Safe for braces, aligners, implants, and veneers.
- Reduces gum bleeding and inflammation visit over visit.
- Best for
- Persistent bad breath, dry mouth, or high bacterial load
- Planning
- Included as part of every cleaning, with extra focus for halitosis cases
- Comfort
- Non-invasive · No sensitivity
Ask about tongue cleaningPatient benefits- Significantly reduces bad breath caused by tongue bacteria.
- Lowers overall bacterial load in the mouth.
- Improves taste sensation and oral freshness.
- Reduces the risk of recontaminating freshly cleaned teeth.
- Complements brushing and flossing for complete oral hygiene.
- Best for
- Any patient with one or more dental implants
- Planning
- Implant-specific instruments selected based on the implant system and prosthesis
- Comfort
- Minimally invasive · Low sensitivity
Ask about implant cleaningPatient benefits- Prevents peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.
- Reduces the risk of bone loss around implants.
- Maintains gum health and implant stability.
- Protects the implant surface from scratching.
- Extends the lifespan of the implant restoration.
- Best for
- Patients with porcelain or composite veneers, front or full smile
- Planning
- Non-abrasive technique selected based on veneer material and margins
- Comfort
- Minimally invasive · Low sensitivity
Ask about veneers cleaningPatient benefits- Removes plaque and surface stains without scratching the veneer.
- Preserves the natural shine and colour of porcelain or composite.
- Protects veneer margins and surrounding gum tissue.
- Prevents gum recession that exposes veneer junctions.
- Extends the cosmetic life of the restoration.
Planned with precision. Performed with care.
Each cleaning starts with a quick assessment of what's in your mouth. Natural teeth, implants, veneers, braces — each needs a different protocol and different tools. GBT is the default for most patients because it removes biofilm at the source with less sensitivity than traditional methods. Tongue cleaning is included. Areas at higher risk — implant collars, veneer margins, deep gum pockets — get extra attention with restoration-safe instruments.
Guided Biofilm Therapy
GBT uses warm water, air, and a fine medical-grade powder to lift biofilm and stains from teeth and gums. Less scraping, less sensitivity, and more thorough than traditional scale-and-polish.
Tongue included by default
The tongue is the largest bacterial reservoir in the mouth and the main source of bad breath. Tongue cleaning is part of every visit, not a separate add-on.
Restoration-safe instruments
Implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges need protocols and tools that won't scratch their surfaces. Each restoration gets the technique made for it.
Early detection during cleaning
Hygienist visits catch early decay, gum changes, enamel erosion, and soft-tissue concerns — often before symptoms appear.
What to expect, step by step.
- 01
Brief examination — natural teeth, gums, tongue, and any restorations.
- 02
Stain disclosure to make biofilm visible.
- 03
GBT airflow to lift biofilm from teeth and gum margins.
- 04
Tartar removal from areas GBT doesn't reach, using restoration-safe instruments.
- 05
Gentle tongue cleaning to reduce bacterial load.
- 06
Fluoride finish and a quick polish; six-month recall booked.
Why professional cleaning matters.
Plaque hardens into tartar within 24–72 hours, and tartar can't be brushed off — only removed professionally. Skip cleanings and the bacteria underneath cause gum disease, decay, and bone loss that no amount of home care can reverse.
- Removes biofilm, tartar, and surface stains brushing can't reach.
- Reduces gum inflammation, bleeding, and the bacteria that cause bad breath.
- Protects implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges from peri-implant disease and gum recession.
- Catches cavities and gum changes early, while treatment is still simple.
- Lower bacterial load in the mouth supports overall systemic health.

Common questions.
Direct answers to the questions patients ask before booking — pain, sedation, recovery, and the steps from consultation to result.
Every six months for most patients. Every three to four months if you have gum disease, implants, braces, or visible plaque buildup. Your hygienist will set the right interval for your mouth.
No. Guided Biofilm Therapy is noticeably gentler than traditional scale-and-polish. Most patients report low or no sensitivity. If you've had pain at previous cleanings, tell the hygienist — protocol adjusts.
GBT is an airflow cleaning system using warm water, air, and a fine medical-grade powder to lift biofilm and stains from teeth and gums. It targets the bacterial cause of dental disease rather than just scraping off the result.
No. Restoration-safe instruments and techniques are used for any non-natural surface. The hygienist checks what you have before starting and selects tools accordingly.
Yes, because surface stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco are removed. The natural shade of your enamel doesn't change — for that you need whitening — but stained teeth look noticeably brighter.
The tongue is the largest bacterial reservoir in the mouth and the main source of bad breath. Cleaning it lowers overall bacterial load and reduces the chance of recontaminating freshly cleaned teeth.
Yes. There's no recovery period. If fluoride is applied at the end, the hygienist may ask you to wait 30 minutes before eating or drinking, but otherwise resume normally.
Most dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings, often at 100%. Reception will check your coverage before the visit and explain any out-of-pocket cost.
