Professional Teeth Cleaning (Scale and Polish)

A professional scale and polish is one of the most effective ways to keep your teeth clean and your gums healthy. At Central Coast Smiles, our dental hygienists gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing alone can’t reach. This treatment helps prevent gum disease, freshens your breath, and leaves your smile feeling clean and refreshed.

Fluoride treatments

Fluoride treatments are a quick and painless way to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay. Recommended especially for children and patients at higher risk of cavities, our fluoride applications help remineralise weakened areas of your teeth and make them more resistant to acids and bacteria.

Fissure Sealants

Fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth – where food and bacteria often get trapped. These grooves can be hard to clean with regular brushing, making them more vulnerable to cavities.

At Central Coast Smiles, we apply a thin, protective coating over these areas to seal out plaque and food particles. This painless procedure is especially beneficial for children and teenagers, helping to reduce the risk of tooth decay and support long-term oral health.

Stain Removal

Over time, teeth can become stained by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and everyday wear. At Central Coast Smiles, our stain removal treatments gently lift surface stains from your teeth, restoring a cleaner, brighter appearance without damaging enamel.

This quick and non-invasive procedure is often part of a routine clean or can be done as a standalone treatment to enhance your smile’s natural radiance. Say goodbye to discolouration and enjoy a fresher, more confident smile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Preventive dental care involves brushing, flossing, maintaining a healthy diet, and regular dental visits to help prevent tooth disease.

We recommend most people have a dental check-up every six months to keep their teeth and gums healthy. This is usually combined with your hygiene visit, but you can book a separate appointment if you prefer.

We recommend brushing and flossing at least twice a day, ideally after breakfast and before bedtime.

Brushing twice a day and flossing daily are the most effective ways to maintain oral health. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings help detect and treat early signs of gum disease, protecting your teeth and gums.
