FAQ

Cosmetic cleaning or stain removal is a dental service that is generally suitable for most people who wish to improve the appearance of their teeth by removing surface stains and discoloration. However, it's essential to consult with your dentist to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.

The procedure for cosmetic cleaning or stain removal typically involves the following steps:

  • Dental examination: Your dentist will first examine your teeth to assess the extent of staining and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
  • Cleaning: The dentist or dental hygienist will use specialized tools and techniques to remove surface stains and plaque buildup from the teeth.
  • Polishing: After cleaning, the teeth are polished to smooth the enamel surface and enhance shine.
  • Optional treatments: Depending on the severity of staining and your desired results, additional treatments such as teeth whitening may be recommended to further improve the appearance of your smile.
The duration of the results from cosmetic cleaning or stain removal can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking). With proper care and maintenance, the effects of cosmetic cleaning can last for several months to a year or longer. However, periodic touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain optimal results.

To maintain the results of cosmetic cleaning or stain removal, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily, and using a fluoride toothpaste. Additionally, avoiding foods and beverages that can stain the teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can help prolong the effects of the treatment. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential for maintaining a healthy and bright smile.
