Dental scaling and polishing is a common dental procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. This procedure is typically done by a dental hygienist or dentist and can be performed during a routine dental checkup.
What is Dental Scaling and Polishing?
Dental scaling and polishing is a procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth using special dental instruments. The procedure begins with a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums to remove any debris or bacteria. Then, the dental hygienist or dentist will use a scaler to remove any plaque or tartar buildup on the teeth. Finally, the teeth are polished to remove any surface stains and give them a smooth, clean finish.
Why is Dental Scaling and Polishing Important?
Dental scaling and polishing is important because it helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth can cause bacteria to accumulate, leading to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Regular scaling and polishing can help remove this buildup and prevent these problems from developing.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Here is a general overview of what to expect during a dental scaling and polishing procedure:
Pre-Procedure Preparation
Before the procedure, the dental hygienist or dentist will conduct a thorough examination of the teeth and gums to identify any areas of concern. They may also take X-rays to get a better look at the teeth and jawbone. Once the examination is complete, the scaling and polishing process can begin.
The Scaling Process
The dental hygienist or dentist will use a scaler to remove any plaque or tartar buildup on the teeth. This process may involve scraping or chipping away at the buildup to loosen it from the teeth. Patients may hear some scraping or tapping sounds during this part of the procedure, but it should not be painful.
The Polishing Process
Once the teeth have been scaled, the dental hygienist or dentist will use a special tool to polish the teeth. This tool uses a rotating brush and a polishing paste to remove any surface stains and give the teeth a smooth, shiny finish. Patients may feel a slight vibration or tickling sensation during this part of the procedure, but it should not be painful.

Well I have just visited and had my first phase of treatment,throughout the process ,I have been in contact with Arina who has guided me throughout the process ,with prices,hotels,transfers and any questions I needed answering ,I came off the plane and my transfer was waiting for me to take me to hotel,I stayed at the La Marge,a lovely hotel and the staff couldn’t have done anymore,very friendly and always helpful,day 1 I was picked up in the morning by the transport and met by the lovely Anya who put me at ease straight away,day 1 is exhausting but getting most of it all done is the best way,I left there sore and a bit swollen,but had all the antibiotics,painkillers,mouthwash,ice packs to help,personally I went back straight to sleep and woke up in the morning,it was a lot better,all the staff at Tulay are first class,the cleanliness and professional manner in which they all shown was amazing,i want to thank them all and see you in September for Phase 2
I must say that the whole process is completely digital. First, they take your 3D jaw tomography and explain everything in detail, you get all the info about the process before your treatment. For mouth impressions, they use a 3D scanner which is one of the best ones (believe me I researched a lot about these things while choosing a clinic). They also have their own lab and your crowns are done there, that’s why everything s done super fast! I enjoyed my experience at Akkol Dental
Big shoutout to Anya! As a foreigner, communication is key, and Anya made everything clear and easy, she explained the process from start to finish and I felt safe at this place. Doctor Adnan did my crowns and the result was fantastic!
I was verry happy for this company the staff was sweet and proffesinelt. I pay 1.750€ for 12 crowns take € hvis you for the payment Regards Detlef Otto Denmark
I came to Antalya to get zirconia crowns, and I’m beyond happy with the results! Coordinator Arina was incredibly helpful from start to finish, she explained every step of the process, helped me with transportation, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rifat is a true artist, he carefully designed my new smile, and my crowns look very natural and beautiful. The procedure was painless, and the clinic’s technology is top-notch. Now I can smile with confidence again! Highly recommended
Highly recommend clinic Tülay Akkol, professional approach of doctors! In love with my new smile. Tnaks to all the doctors and staff!
Where do I start? I would like to extend my gratitude to Arina and all the crew at Tulay Akkol dental centre. Arina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and really excelled in great customer service. From the moment I arrived in Turkey with my family the transfer to the hotel was smooth and stress free. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and the staff there were lovely. I personally would like to thank the dentist for excellent work and for being very patient and understanding. I can't speak highly off Tulay Akkol and the fantastic treatment I received for my smile makeover. Arina, you are a star and thank you for everything.
