ROUTINE DENTAL CARE

Professional Cleaning

1,500 THB Approximately £35

Professional cleaning removes plaque, hardened calculus and deposits from around the teeth and gumline using an ultrasonic scaler.

About 30 minutes Usually every 6 months

Who Is It For?

  • Routine dental maintenance
  • Mild to moderate calculus
  • Generally healthy gums
  • Helping reduce gum inflammation
  • Supporting fresher breath

How Often?

Most patients benefit from professional cleaning every six months. More frequent cleaning may be advised for patients who build calculus quickly, smoke, wear braces or have a history of gum problems.

Mild sensitivity or slight gum bleeding may occur when the gums are inflamed. This usually improves as gum health becomes more stable.
GUM DISEASE TREATMENT

Deep Cleaning / Root Planing

6,000 THB Full mouth · Around 2 hours

Root planing removes calculus and bacteria from underneath the gumline and around the roots of the teeth.

  • Deep gum pockets
  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Calculus underneath the gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Gum recession or bone loss

Local anaesthetic may be used. A follow-up gum assessment may also be recommended.

SURFACE STAIN REMOVAL

Airflow Cleaning

1,500 THB Around 30 minutes

Airflow uses air, water and fine powder to remove external staining and soft plaque from the surface of the teeth.

  • Coffee and tea stains
  • Smoking stains
  • Coloured food and drink stains
  • Plaque around braces or retainers
  • Hard-to-reach areas

Airflow removes surface staining but does not whiten the natural enamel or replace scaling when hardened calculus is present.
