Ultrasonic tartar removal

Clean, smooth tooth surfaces, healthy gums, and fresh breath in just one treatment

Tartar builds up invisibly on the surface of the teeth over a long period of time: at first, only slight discoloration, then bleeding gums, sensitivity, and finally unpleasant breath and gum inflammation indicate the problem.

At PureDental, we use ultrasonic tartar removal and Air-Flow polishing to clean your teeth effectively, painlessly, and gently, leaving them smooth, clean, and shiny after just one treatment.

Who should consider ultrasonic tartar removal?

The goal of professional cleaning is not only to remove tartar, but also to restore the health of the entire oral cavity.

Tartar is not only an aesthetic issue; bacteria settle on its hard, rough surface, which can cause gum inflammation, periodontal disease, and bone loss.

Tartar removal is one of the most important preventive dental treatments, preserving the long-term health of your teeth and gums with minimal time investment.

It is especially recommended if you:

  • experiencing bleeding gums when brushing teeth
  • sees yellowish or brownish discoloration
  • bad breath or gum sensitivity bothers you
  • has braces, crowns, or implants
  • has not had tartar removal for a long time

The treatment process

At PureDental, every dental hygiene treatment begins with an individual assessment carried out by our dental hygienist to ensure that the procedure is tailored to your needs and dental condition. The treatment takes approximately 60 minutes, is completely painless, and you can eat and drink immediately after the procedure.

2. Anesthesia (if necessary)

For our more sensitive patients, we use modern, fast-acting local anesthesia, so the entire treatment is completely painless.

3. Polishing

After cleaning, we polish the tooth surface with a circular brush and special fluoride paste to make it completely smooth again, so that plaque will have a harder time sticking to it later on.

4. Air-Flow sandblasting cleaning

Sandblasting with a fine mist of water and salt removes stubborn, deeper discoloration (such as stains caused by coffee, tea, or smoking) and gives teeth a natural shine.

5. Instruction and plaque staining (if required)

After tartar removal, our dental hygienists provide personalized advice on proper oral care at home. They use plaque staining to highlight areas that are difficult to clean, then teach you personalized techniques for proper tooth brushing and interdental cleaning. This helps prevent tartar from forming again and contributes to maintaining a healthy, fresh-smelling smile.

Frequently asked questions about ultrasonic tartar removal

We have compiled a list of questions that our patients most frequently ask about ultrasonic tartar removal.

What is tartar, and why is it important to remove it?

Tartar is calcified plaque that forms on the gum line and under the gums. If not removed in time, it can cause inflammation, bad breath, and gum disease. Hardened tartar cannot be safely removed with home remedies; it requires professional ultrasonic dental treatment.

Tartar can be yellowish, brownish, or even black in color, and most often appears on the inner side of the teeth, along the gum line, and between the teeth. Tartar may also be indicated by regular bleeding of the gums when brushing, unpleasant mouth odor, or a bad taste in the mouth that does not go away even with regular brushing.

Usually every six months, but every three to four months is recommended in cases of smoking, wearing braces, increased plaque formation, or susceptibility to periodontal disease. Regular tartar removal is one of the most important preventive measures against gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Tartar and the bacteria that settle on it irritate the gums, causing inflammation, swelling, and bleeding. In the long term, this process can reach the deeper layers of the periodontium, leading to the breakdown of the tissues that hold the teeth in place, gum recession, and tooth loss.

No. The vibrations of the ultrasonic device are gentle and do not damage the enamel. In cases of sensitive gums or inflammation, we use local anesthesia, so the procedure is completely painless.

Air-Flow is a special sandblasting process that removes stubborn stains (such as coffee, tea, or tobacco stains) with a fine mist of water and salt. This step is not only beneficial from an aesthetic point of view, but also helps prevent plaque from reattaching.

The difference is immediately noticeable: your teeth will be smoother, your breath fresher, and your gums healthier. After the treatment, our dental hygienists will provide personalized advice on how to maintain the results of professional cleaning at home.

Plaque staining makes hidden plaque visible, showing you exactly where you need to clean more thoroughly.

During the instruction, our dental hygienists will teach you personalized techniques for proper tooth brushing and the use of interdental cleaning tools, and will advise you on choosing the oral care products that are right for you.

This knowledge helps prevent tartar from forming again in the long term and ensures that the results of the treatment are long-lasting.
