What It Is
A professional dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, surface stains, and bacteria from teeth and gum lines using specialised tools far more effective than brushing or flossing alone at home.
Who It Helps
Adults and children with plaque buildup, mild gum inflammation, surface staining, bad breath, or anyone who hasn’t had a cleaning in the last 6 to 12 months assessed individually based on oral hygiene and gum health.
Cost
Experienced hygienist-led team, ultrasonic and air-polishing technology, gentle scaling techniques, and personalised oral hygiene coaching not a rushed 10-minute scrape-and-go cleaning.
At Smile Connect

Dental Cleaning in Kandivali
Most people brush twice a day and think that’s enough but plaque, tartar, and bacteria build up in places no toothbrush can reach. Over time, this leads to gum problems, bad breath, cavities, and a dull-looking smile. At Smile Connect Dental Clinic in Kandivali, professional dental cleaning is a quick, painless, and surprisingly refreshing way to reset your oral health. Whether you’ve never had a cleaning before or come in every six months like clockwork, our team makes the experience comfortable, thorough, and genuinely good for your teeth.
Types of Dental Cleaning Treatments We Provide
Prophylaxis (Routine Cleaning)
The standard six-monthly cleaning for patients with generally healthy gums. It removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from above the gum line, followed by polishing for a smooth, fresh finish. Quick, painless, and the foundation of long-term oral health.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
For patients with gum disease or significant tartar buildup below the gum line. Scaling removes hardened deposits from tooth surfaces and roots, while root planing smooths the roots to help gums reattach to teeth. Usually done over one or two visits.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Uses high-frequency vibrations and a water spray to break down stubborn tartar without damaging enamel. Faster, more comfortable, and more thorough than traditional hand scaling ideal for patients with heavy buildup.
Periodontal Maintenance Cleaning
A specialised cleaning for patients who’ve completed deep cleaning or treatment for gum disease. Typically scheduled every 3 to 4 months to prevent recurrence and maintain gum health long-term.
Children's Dental Cleaning
A gentle, child-friendly cleaning combined with fluoride application and oral hygiene coaching. We use age-appropriate techniques and a calm, reassuring approach to make every visit positive for kids.
Air Polishing
A fine jet of water, air, and polishing powder removes surface stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and wine. Especially useful for patients who want their natural tooth shade brightened without committing to whitening treatments.
For patients whose cleaning reveals deeper issues like missing teeth or worn restorations, we discuss restorative options such as dental implants once oral health is stabilised.
How does Dental Cleaning Treatment at Smile Connect
Cleaning at Smile Connect is a structured, careful process not a rushed scrape. Every step is designed to be comfortable while leaving your teeth and gums genuinely healthier.
Step 1 — Oral Examination and Gum Assessment
We start by checking your teeth, gums, bite, and any signs of inflammation, bleeding, or pockets. This tells us whether a routine cleaning or deeper treatment is needed.
Step 2 — Plaque and Tartar Removal (Scaling)
Using ultrasonic instruments and hand tools, we gently remove plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and along the gum line. The ultrasonic vibrations break down deposits without scraping enamel.
Step 3 — Deep Cleaning (If Needed)
If significant buildup is present below the gum line, scaling extends to root surfaces. This step is done with care, and local anaesthesia is available for patients with sensitivity or extensive deposits.
Step 4 — Polishing and Stain Removal
A polishing paste or air-polishing system removes surface stains and smooths tooth surfaces, making it harder for plaque to stick in the future. Your teeth feel noticeably smoother right after.
Step 5 — Fluoride Application and Oral Hygiene Coaching
Professional fluoride strengthens enamel against future cavities. We finish with a personalised at-home routine brushing technique, flossing, interdental brushes, and product recommendations to keep results lasting.
For patients combining cleaning with cosmetic refinements like crowns or veneers, treatments such as crown bridge are planned after cleaning so restorations sit on a healthy, plaque-free foundation.
How much does Dental Cleaning Treatment cost in Kandivali?
Dental cleaning cost isn’t a single fixed number it depends on several factors that vary based on your oral health and the type of cleaning required.
Type of Cleaning
- Routine prophylaxis, ultrasonic scaling, deep cleaning, and periodontal maintenance each fall into different brackets
- Deep cleaning costs more than routine cleaning due to time and complexity
Number of Sessions
- Most routine cleanings are completed in a single visit
- Deep cleaning is often split across two sessions for comfort and precision
Follow-Up Maintenance
- Regular six-monthly cleanings are more cost-effective long-term
- Periodontal maintenance every 3 to 4 months may be needed for some patients
Severity of Buildup
- Light tartar from regular brushing needs minimal scaling
- Heavy buildup from years without cleaning may require multiple sessions
Additional Treatments
- Fluoride application, air polishing, and stain removal can be added based on your needs
- These are usually bundled into the cleaning package at Smile Connect
Gum Condition
- Patients with healthy gums need only standard cleaning
- Mild to moderate gum disease may require scaling and root planing

FAQs
How often should I get my teeth professionally cleaned?
Once every six months is ideal for most adults. Patients with gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or specific risk factors like diabetes or smoking may need cleaning every 3 to 4 months. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your individual condition.
Is dental cleaning painful?
No. Routine cleaning is completely painless. You’ll feel some vibration and water spray, but nothing sharp or uncomfortable. Deep cleaning may cause mild sensitivity, which we manage with local anaesthesia and gentle technique.
Will cleaning damage my enamel or make teeth sensitive?
No. Modern ultrasonic cleaning is gentle on enamel and far safer than aggressive hand scraping. Mild sensitivity for a day or two is normal, especially after deep cleaning, but it resolves on its own and doesn’t damage teeth.
Why do my gums bleed during cleaning?
Bleeding usually means the gums are inflamed from plaque or early gum disease not from the cleaning itself. Once tartar is removed and home care improves, bleeding typically stops within a few days as the gums heal.
Can I eat normally after dental cleaning?
Yes. After a routine cleaning, you can eat and drink normally right away. After deep cleaning or fluoride treatment, we recommend avoiding hot, hard, or staining foods for a few hours to let the fluoride absorb fully.
