What to expect during your scale and polish appointment
During your visit at Manor House Dental Practice, our dental hygienists will carefully examine your teeth and gums before beginning the treatment. Using specialised tools, they will gently scale away hardened deposits and polish your teeth to smooth the surfaces. This process typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes and is tailored to your comfort level. We ensure every step is explained clearly, reducing any anxieties and promoting a relaxed experience that leaves you feeling refreshed.
