Professional teeth cleaning in Nova Gorica
Professional teeth cleaning with ultrasonic scaling, tartar removal and air-flow polishing — the foundation of healthy teeth and gums and the first step to a healthy smile.
What is tartar and why must it be removed?
Tartar forms when soft dental deposits (plaque), due to minerals in saliva, harden into a solid crust on the surface of the teeth — especially along the gum line and in interdental spaces. Tartar cannot be removed by ordinary brushing.
If tartar is not removed regularly, it can cause gum inflammation (gingivitis), which progresses to periodontal disease — the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. Professional oral hygiene 1-2 times a year is one of the most important preventive services.
Our approach to professional hygiene
Manual cleaning
With fine manual instruments we remove residual tartar in hard-to-reach areas and below the gum line, where ultrasound cannot reach.
Air-flow polishing
A jet of fine particles removes stubborn pigments from coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Teeth become noticeably brighter.
Polishing and fluoridation
After cleaning we smooth the tooth surface so deposits adhere less easily. With fluoride we strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.
How the visit works
- 1
Examination of teeth and gums
We assess the amount of tartar, the condition of your gums, measure periodontal pockets and identify areas where plaque accumulates and gums bleed.
- 2
Tartar removal
With ultrasound and manual instruments we thoroughly remove hard deposits above and below the gum line.
- 3
Air-flow and polishing
We remove pigments, smooth the surface and apply a fluoride gel for protection if needed.
- 4
Home care advice
We show the correct brushing technique (manual or electric toothbrush) and the use of dental floss or interdental brushes for your dentition. We also advise on the choice of toothpaste and other home oral care aids.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a cleaning?
We recommend once a year for healthy patients, every 6 months for patients prone to tartar build-up or with gum problems.
Is the cleaning painful?
The procedure is usually completely painless. Sensitivity may occur with inflamed gums or exposed tooth necks, but it is brief and manageable.
Difference between ultrasonic and manual?
Ultrasound effectively removes hard tartar with vibrations and water, while manual instruments are used for fine cleaning of hard-to-reach areas and polishing.
What is air-flow polishing?
Air-flow uses a jet of fine particles to remove soft deposits and pigments. Effective against staining from coffee, tea, wine and smoking.
Does ultrasound damage enamel?
No. Modern ultrasonic devices are designed to remove only deposits and tartar, not healthy enamel.
