A radiant smile for special occasions

What is professional teeth cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning, also known as a PZR, is a dental hygiene procedure carried out by a dental hygienist. All plaque is removed from the teeth and even hard-to-reach areas such as the spaces between the teeth, tartar or discolouration are treated. Even periodontitis, an inflammation of the gums, can be prevented by professional teeth cleaning, thus reducing the risk of periodontitis. Various instruments such as hand instruments, polishes, ultrasonic devices, the powder-water jet method (also known as AIRFLOW) and the use of dental floss are used to achieve the best results.

These procedures are often carried out in the dental office, but also in our ALPINE WHITE studios in Zurich (Stadelhofen & Oerlikon), in Aarau, in Lucerne and very soon also in Bern and Basel. You can easily make an appointment online and take the first step towards dental health.

How does professional teeth cleaning work?

The process of a professional dental cleaning is well structured. Firstly, the teeth are examined carefully to detect any dental diseases such as caries, gingivitis or periodontitis. Soft plaque is then removed using cleaning brushes and ultrasonic devices. Tartar removal, especially along the gum line and in the interdental spaces, is carried out gently with scaler tools or with so-called powder water jet devices (AIRFLOW). The tooth surfaces are then smoothed with a polishing paste to protect the enamel and reduce plaque. Dental floss and special brushes or sticks are used to thoroughly clean the interdental spaces and the tooth necks. This is followed by fluoridation, in which the teeth are coated with a protective varnish to harden the enamel surface. The entire procedure usually takes about an hour and is pain-free. This holistic process is crucial for dental care and helps to keep teeth healthy.

Why is professional teeth cleaning useful?

Professional teeth cleaning plays a decisive role in the prevention of dental diseases. In particular, the risk of periodontitis, gingivitis and tooth decay can be minimised or detected at an early stage with regular professional teeth cleaning. The thorough removal of plaque and tartar on the tooth surfaces and along the gum line significantly reduces the risk of bleeding gums, gum pockets or tooth discolouration. This helps to keep teeth healthy and maintain dental hygiene. In addition, professional teeth cleaning can effectively reduce bad breath as it minimises the formation of bacteria in the oral cavity. This makes professional tooth cleaning an extremely useful tool for maintaining and restoring dental health. Our specialists at ALPINE WHITE use modern techniques such as powder blasting and polishing to ensure perfect results.

How often should I have a professional dental hygiene treatment?

It is generally recommended to have your teeth professionally cleaned every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on individual needs and the recommendation of the dental practitioner. Regular and thorough cleaning is also very important for implants, dentures or during orthodontic treatment with braces. In such cases, PZR can be a valuable addition to your own oral care, as it effectively removes plaque, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as the spaces between teeth and at the gum line. Regular tooth brushing alone is often unable to clean these areas sufficiently, especially if braces are worn. Professional teeth cleaning is therefore an important part of dental hygiene to maintain oral health.
