Teeth Cleaning & Check-ups
Professional deep cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains — the foundation of a healthy smile.
Why Regular Cleanings Matter
Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar build up in hard-to-reach areas over time. Professional cleaning is the only way to remove hardened tartar (calculus) and keep your gums healthy.
At Dr. Mabaso’s practice, we recommend a professional cleaning every six months. During your visit, our hygienist will:
- Scale and polish your teeth to remove all plaque and tartar
- Check for early signs of gum disease, cavities, and oral cancer
- Take digital X-rays when needed to see below the surface
- Create a personalised care plan based on your specific needs
What to Expect
Your cleaning appointment is gentle and thorough. We use ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to carefully clean every surface of every tooth. Most patients find the experience comfortable — many even fall asleep.
After cleaning, Dr. Mabaso will perform a comprehensive examination, checking your teeth, gums, jaw alignment, and soft tissues. We will discuss any findings openly and recommend next steps if needed.
For Nervous Patients
Dental anxiety is completely normal, and we treat it with the same care as any other concern. Our practice was designed to feel calm and welcoming — from the waiting area to the treatment rooms. If you have been avoiding the dentist, this is a judgment-free zone. We will take it at your pace.
