Maintaining good oral health at home is a must. But there’s only so much brushing and flossing can do.
At JC Dental Como, we offer professional dental cleaning Perth & Como to take your oral hygiene to the next level.
Let’s delve into why a routine dental cleaning procedure is an excellent idea to sustain the best oral health possible.
A dental scale and clean is a routine cleaning procedure performed by a dentist to maintain good oral hygiene. It consists of two steps: scaling (removing plaque and tartar with special tools) and polishing (smoothing the tooth surfaces to remove stains).
Our experienced dentists offer premium EMS Airflow cleaning. This Swiss technology is quiet, minimally invasive, and makes the dental cleaning process much more comfortable, especially for those who feel anxiety or have sensitive teeth.
| EMS Airflow Dental Cleaning | Regular Dental Cleaning |
| Quiet and anxiety-free | Noisy and vibrating sensation |
| Uses warm water to reduce sensitivity and increase comfort | Uses cold water, which can aggravate sensitive teeth |
| Uses a mix of powder, water, and air to remove bacteria easily | Uses a vibrating ultrasonic scaler to remove bacteria on your teeth |
EMS Airflow dental cleaning uses slightly more water than regular dental cleaning, but it has many advantages over the traditional kind of cleaning. Here’s what you can look forward to:

For new patients, we offer a full check-up, X-rays, and a scale and clean for $199. For existing patients, scale and clean treatments cost $210 without X-rays.
Professional dental cleanings give you a deeper clean, get rid of stains that regular brushing can’t, and can also help your dentist detect oral issues early.
Even with meticulous brushing and flossing, some areas of your mouth remain tricky to reach. Plaque loves to cling to the tight spaces between your teeth, the back of your molars, and right along the gum line.
Professional dental cleanings use specialised tools and techniques to thoroughly remove plaque and tartar from these hard-to-reach zones. This also goes a long way towards preventing cavities and gum disease.
Coffee, tea, red wine, and even some foods can leave stubborn stains on your teeth that your everyday brushing can’t fully remove. Your dentist’s professional polishing techniques can gently remove these surface stains, revealing a brighter, more radiant smile.
The buildup of plaque and tartar irritates your gums, leading to gingivitis (early-stage gum disease). Professional cleanings get rid of these irritants, allowing your gums to heal and protecting you from more serious gum infections like periodontitis.
The bacteria in plaque also produce acids that erode your tooth enamel, leading to cavities. By removing plaque, dental cleanings significantly reduce your risk of developing tooth decay.
Lingering food particles and bacteria buildup are also big causes of bad breath (halitosis). Cleanings remove this debris and address the underlying causes associated with chronic bad breath.
During your cleaning, your dentist or hygienist carefully examines your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This allows them to catch potential problems like cavities, gum disease, or even signs of oral cancer in their earliest stages when treatment is most effective.
A typical dental cleaning involves several steps. First, a dental hygienist examines your teeth and gums. They then use special tools to gently remove plaque and tartar. Next, your teeth are polished with a slightly abrasive paste to remove surface stains. Finally, you might receive a fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel.
Your dentist or perhaps a dental hygienist will do a thorough examination to find problem areas in your mouth. This will give them an indication of where they might need to spend extra time or be more meticulous.
Scaling is the cornerstone of dental cleaning. Your dentist uses either handheld instruments or an ultrasonic scaler to carefully dislodge plaque and tartar above and below your gum line. The ultrasonic scaler uses vibrations to break up hardened deposits. You might hear a scraping or feel some slight pressure during this process.
After scaling, your hygienist polishes your teeth with a special paste and an electric brush, smoothing away minor stains and rough patches. This leaves your teeth feeling clean and glossy. Sometimes they offer different paste flavours to choose from!
Fluoride helps re-mineralise your tooth enamel, making it stronger and more resistant to decay. Your dentist may apply a fluoride treatment in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. It sits on your teeth for a few minutes, providing an extra layer of protection.
We believe everyone deserves a comfortable, sparkling smile. Our team combines advanced technology with a patient-focused approach to deliver exceptional dental cleanings. Experience the JC Dental Como difference—superior results, a gentle touch, and a commitment to your comfort and well-being.
Sensitive teeth shouldn’t get in the way of a healthy smile. We understand that cleanings can be uncomfortable for some. That's why we use EMS Airflow, a revolutionary system that uses a gentle spray to clean your teeth effectively without aggravating sensitivities.
Our dentists prioritise your comfort and well-being, taking the time to understand your concerns and tailoring treatments to your needs. We create a welcoming and supportive environment where you can feel at ease throughout your scale and clean.
We believe in accessible dental care for all. To ensure you get the cleanings you need, we accept major health insurance providers, CDBS, and DVA. Our transparent pricing and various payment options help you comfortably invest in your oral health.
Most dentists recommend a scale and polish every six months. But people prone to gum disease or other issues may need more frequent visits.
Dental cleaning doesn’t usually hurt. Modern techniques and numbing options are available if needed. Some people may experience minor sensitivity afterwards, but it doesn’t last long.
A routine cleaning with a JC Dental Como dentist typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Most dental plans cover at least a portion of the scaling teeth price. But check with your provider for specifics before assuming!
