Healthy gums are the foundation of every other dental treatment. Veneers, crowns and implants placed on inflamed gums do not last as well, and impressions taken through bleeding gums are less accurate. That is why, at Medicape Health in Adana, a professional clean is usually the first step of any treatment plan – and why we treat gum problems before anything else.
Cleaning can also be booked on its own, for example alongside a visit for another treatment.
| Appointment time | Usually 30–60 minutes for a routine clean |
| Anaesthesia | Not usually needed; local anaesthetic for deeper gum cleaning |
| Back to normal | Straight away |
| How often | Usually every six months; more often with gum disease, implants, crowns or veneers |
| Price | Written quote within 24 hours |
If you have signs of gum disease – bleeding when you brush, swollen or receding gums, bad breath, or teeth that feel loose – your check-up will show whether you need gum treatment. Where it is needed before veneers, crowns or implants, it is built into your plan and your stay.
| Routine scale and polish | Gum treatment (deep cleaning) | |
|---|---|---|
| For | Healthy gums or mild gingivitis | Gum disease with deeper pockets around the teeth |
| What is cleaned | Above and just below the gum line | Deeper, along the root surfaces |
| Anaesthetic | Not usually needed | Often local anaesthetic |
| Sessions | One | Often two or more, with a review |
If you are having veneers, crowns, implants or whitening, cleaning is usually done on your first day, often alongside your examination. Healthy gums mean:
Your treatment is planned by a specialist in Prosthodontics. You can find your dentist’s profile, qualifications and experience on the Our Doctors page.
Most people find a routine clean comfortable. You may feel vibration and pressure from the scaler, and sensitive areas or inflamed gums can feel sore during cleaning. Afterwards:
Tell us if you have sensitive teeth; we can use a local anaesthetic gel or injection.
Is dental cleaning painful?
Most people find it comfortable. Inflamed or sensitive areas can be sore during cleaning; local anaesthetic can be used if needed.
Will cleaning make my teeth whiter?
It removes surface stains, so teeth often look brighter. To change the natural colour of your teeth you need whitening.
Is cleaning safe with veneers, crowns or implants?
Yes, and it is important for keeping them healthy. Let us know what you have so we use the right instruments.
How long does it take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes. Gum treatment can take longer and may need more than one visit.
Can I have cleaning on the same trip as other treatment?
Yes. It is usually the first step of your plan.
