Teeth Cleaning
A professional scale and polish that removes the plaque and tartar your brush cannot reach, with a gum check at the same visit.
- Gentle scale and polish
- Gum check included
- Price upfront
Why It Matters
What Your Brush Misses
Brushing twice a day keeps teeth healthy, but plaque that hardens into tartar can only be removed with a professional clean.
At home
Brushing and flossing every day- Removes soft plaque from the surfaces you can reach
- Keeps your breath fresh day to day
- Slows down new plaque building up
At Four Star
Professional cleaning twice a year- Removes hardened tartar above and below the gum line
- Polishes away surface stains from tea, coffee and smoking
- Checks your gums and spots small problems early
The best results come from both, working together.
