Preventive Dentistry.

A professional scale & clean at Brisbane Smile Boutique with Alex Forbes and our dental team is your first line of defence for a healthy smile. We begin by removing plaque, tartar, and stubborn surface stains—even in hard‑to‑reach places that home care can’t get to. Then we polish your teeth smooth, leaving them feeling fresh, looking brighter, and helping prevent gum disease, decay and bad breath. Regular scale & clean appointments set the foundation for long‑term oral health and confidence.

Professional Scale and Clean.

During your scale & clean, Alex, Dr Leila, or Dr Sabrina use advanced tools—such as ultrasonic scalers, hand instruments, and polishing kits—to remove hardened plaque (tartar), biofilm, and surface stains that ordinary brushing and flossing can’t reach. They also assess your gums for signs of inflammation or disease, checking for pockets, bleeding, or recession.

After cleaning, your teeth are polished to smooth the surfaces, making them less likely to accumulate plaque. With regular appointments every 6 months, or more often if needed, this preventive treatment helps keep decay, gum disease, and bad breath at bay while preserving the health and strength of your teeth.

Best Dental Health.

You’ll likely leave feeling a noticeable difference—cleaner, smoother teeth, fresher breath, and a mouth that feels lighter. Immediately after, gums may feel tender or a bit sensitive, especially around the gumline or where tartar was heavy, which is perfectly normal.

Over time, regular scale & clean visits not only keep teeth looking brighter but help stop gum disease, reduce risk of cavities, and catch issues early before they become bigger problems.
