Stone removal with 20% discount

Tartar is a conglomerate that contains insoluble salts of phosphorus, iron, calcium, and magnesium. First, a soft plaque forms on the enamel, which begins to harden under the action of salivary enzymes and microscopic food debris. Outwardly, it looks like untidy stripes or spots of brown, yellow and even orange.
Smoking, drinking strong tea and coffee, as well as poor oral hygiene contribute to the rapid formation of stones. Gradually, the enamel becomes rough, and bad breath appears. The greatest danger is the appearance of deposits in subgingival pockets, which is the direct cause of periodontitis and further tooth loss.
Important. An extracted tooth will not grow back.
Operating principle of ultrasonic cleaning
Tartar removal using ultrasound is based on the destructive effect of high-frequency waves on hard deposits. The procedure is carried out using a special attachment - a scaler.
The directed action of the waves explains the fact that the stone practically crumbles before our eyes, turning into powder. The simultaneous supply of water washes away plaque and cools the tooth, relieving discomfort.
The main advantage of the method is that using a scaler you can clean subgingival pockets. Laser and chemical cleaning do not provide this opportunity.
Another important point is the bactericidal effect. Under the influence of ultrasonic waves, pathogenic bacteria that cause dental damage and oral diseases die.
Is ultrasonic teeth cleaning harmful?
Hygienic teeth cleaning with ultrasound does not have a negative effect on the human body and is recognized by experts as absolutely harmless. The only thing is that there are a number of restrictions, in the presence of which it is not recommended.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a mandatory procedure before prosthetics, installation of braces and implants. It is also recommended that those suffering from periodontitis visit their dentist or hygienist twice a year.
Signs of tartar:
- visible plaque on the enamel - primarily appears on the inner surface of the teeth, as well as on the root part;
- bad breath in the absence of diseased teeth is explained by the vital activity of pathogenic bacteria;
- inflammation, bleeding, swelling of the gums;
- the appearance of pronounced gingival pockets.
Important. If you notice these signs, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Service cost
Offers for dental correction with ultrasound are provided in private dental clinics. It is not included in the mandatory list of free procedures.
The average cost of one course varies between 1500-3000 rubles. The difference in price is due to the marketing policy of dentistry and additional actions, for example, the need for anesthesia.
In addition to complete cleaning, you can order cleaning of one or more teeth. In this case, you will have to pay from 100 to 150 rubles to clean each one.
Pros and cons of ultrasonic tartar removal
The ultrasonic tartar removal procedure has significant advantages over other methods of teeth cleaning. It is less traumatic than mechanical removal of deposits, and more functional than chemical and laser treatments. After cleaning, the enamel acquires a natural color, which makes it possible to choose an implant or filling as close as possible to the desired shade.
Advantages
In most cases, dentists prefer the ultrasound method. In one procedure, the doctor can completely treat all teeth, including subgingival pockets, which guarantees the most complete removal of hard deposits.
The main advantages of the procedure include:
- high-quality treatment of the tooth surface, including fissures, without damaging the enamel;
- removal of solid deposits even from the most inaccessible places;
- painlessness of the procedure;
- treatment of periodontal pockets;
- bactericidal effect – complete destruction of pathogenic microflora.
It also makes sense to talk about the prevention of caries, periodontitis, inflammatory diseases of the gums and teeth, since well-polished enamel prevents the rapid settling of deposits.
Important. The procedure does not cause allergic reactions, which is especially important for asthmatics and allergy sufferers.
Flaws
Perhaps the only drawback of the procedure is slight pain on sensitive teeth. In such cases, the doctor uses local anesthesia in the form of a gel. The disadvantages include the presence of contraindications for the patient.
Preparation for the procedure
First of all, the specialist examines the client and assesses whether the condition of his teeth and gums meets all the requirements and restrictions of this procedure.
The doctor must ask about any contraindications.
Attention! Since many of them are not detected during examination, pay close attention to the relevant section of the article.
Some clinics use a special safe solution, after applying which the tartar appears on the tooth enamel in a brighter shade. This method makes the specialist’s work easier.
How to clean teeth with ultrasound: stages
Your very first step is to go to the dentist. The doctor will do the rest.
The procedure is carried out in several stages:
- applying an anesthetic gel to the surface of the teeth - if necessary;
- directly removing tartar from enamel;
- treatment of subgingival pockets;
- grinding using special pastes;
- polishing - at the request of the patient.
The stone is removed under the action of a scaler with the simultaneous supply of a stream of water.
Modern techniques involve the use of the Air-Flow method together with ultrasound. After hard deposits have been removed, it is possible to treat the teeth with a water-abrasive mixture under pressure. Microscopic soda crystals penetrate even the interdental spaces, clean hard-to-reach places well, and polish the enamel.
The combined use of ultrasound and Air-Flow ultimately gives excellent results. The surface of the teeth becomes smooth, deposits disappear, the teeth look well-groomed, and the smile becomes beautiful.
Important. You should not uncontrollably (and also under control) rub your teeth with soda powder. In this case, you are guaranteed to have thinning enamel, but the deposits will remain in place.
What are the benefits of a therapeutic and cosmetic session?
The correction procedure has a multifaceted beneficial effect:
- Under the influence of an ultrasonic wave, hard foreign deposits are broken down over the entire surface, including the space under the gums. This result is not available using similar methods.
- Along with the cleansing effect, the enamel whitens, which acquires a natural shade - softer and more natural than after other corresponding procedures.
- After cleaning with the device, the doctor will be able to quickly identify pathologies of the tissues of the interdental space and gums.
- The procedure is painless and much faster than other methods.
- Cleaning helps during periodontal treatment and fillings. It is often recommended to remove deposits before prosthetics.
These are only the main results that can be achieved after completing the course of treatment. The beneficial qualities of the procedure are not limited to this.
Is it painful to brush your teeth with ultrasound?
The procedure is considered painless, but may cause some discomfort if the enamel is sensitive. If the patient has a high pain threshold, he may well do without anesthesia. But in most cases, the dentist applies a special gel to the surface of the teeth. Also, applying water to the tooth when exposed to a scaler helps reduce pain.

Will my teeth hurt after brushing?
No, no and NO. On the contrary, all patients, without exception, note extraordinary freshness in their mouth after the procedure. If you can say – even a feeling of lightness. The removed deposits do not put pressure on the enamel, and the feeling of tension in the teeth disappears.
When exposed to a scaler and a water-abrasive mixture under pressure, the gums are massaged. Blood circulation is normalized in the soft tissues, which also provides noticeable comfort in the mouth.
In general, ultrasonic cleaning is great. Having done it at least once, you will come to the dentist once every six months as required. Please note, come with pleasure.

- Carry out independent hygiene with special abrasive whitening toothpastes.
If you follow these simple recommendations, you can maintain the effect of the procedure for a long time.
Is it possible to brush teeth with ultrasound during pregnancy?
The best period for preventive cleaning is the second trimester of pregnancy. At this time, the child is already reliably protected by the placenta and is actively developing. Increased growth of the skeletal system provokes tooth decay in the mother, so we must try to protect ourselves as much as possible.
Ultrasonic cleaning with the addition of Air-Flow is considered by experts to be one of the best methods of prevention, as it allows you to sanitize the oral cavity as effectively as possible. The risk of caries is reduced, which allows you to simply save your teeth.
Before visiting a dentist, you must obtain permission from a gynecologist, since the decision is made individually, based on the woman’s condition.
Important. Ultrasound does not affect mother and child and does not cause allergies. The procedure is painless, and the mother feels excellent after the session.
