Scale & Clean
A gentle, quick clean that lifts coffee, wine and smoking stains and clears the hard tartar a brush can't reach, so your teeth feel smooth and your breath feels fresh.
Is any of this you?
- Your teeth feel furry by night.
- You brush and it stays.
- You can see stains along the edges.
- You have left it a while.
None of this fixes itself.
A clean is not
a better brush
Understanding your options
Care between visits
If treatment is proposed, request a written plan with its costs and stages. You can also ask how to care for your mouth between visits and when to return. The right follow-up interval depends on your individual needs.

What to expect
Four steps. No surprises.
- Step 1 Book your clean
Book online or call. Tell us if your gums bleed, you're sensitive, or it's been a while, and we'll plan around it.
- Step 2 A quick look
We check how much tartar and stain is there and where your gums bleed, then tell you plainly what the clean involves.
- Step 3 The gentle scale and polish
We lift the hard tartar above and below the gumline, then polish off coffee, wine and smoking stains so teeth feel smooth.
- Step 4 Keep it that way
We show you the spots you're missing at home and suggest how often to come back, so small things stay small.

Scale and clean questions, answered
What's the difference between a scale and clean and a check-up?
The clean is the hygiene work. We take off hard tartar and polish off stains, so your teeth feel smooth and your gums settle. A check-up is the exam, where we look for decay and other issues. Our $249 package includes both, but you can come in just for a clean too.
Will the clean hurt or make my gums bleed?
Most people find a clean gentle and easy. If your gums are sore they may bleed a little during the visit, and that settles as they get healthier. Tell us if you're sensitive and we'll go slowly and keep you comfortable.
Can a clean remove my coffee, wine or smoking stains?
A clean lifts surface stains that brushing leaves behind, so teeth usually look brighter and breath feels fresher. Deeper, built-in colour needs whitening, which we can talk you through. Results vary from person to person.
How often should I have a scale and clean?
For most people every six months works well, but it depends on your gums, your stain build-up and habits like smoking. We'll suggest a timing that fits you, not a one-size-fits-all rule.
Do you claim my health fund on the spot?
Yes. We claim with nib, HCF, Westfund, Latrobe and most major funds on the spot, so you tap your card and only pay the gap. Bring your card to your visit and we'll sort it for you.
