Polishing in Croydon: The Finishing Touch for a Radiant Smile

Croydon Polishing

At London Road Dental Centre, we believe that a polished smile is a confident smile. Dental polishing is the perfect finishing touch to your regular cleaning or stain removal appointment, leaving your teeth feeling smooth, clean, and looking their very best. This gentle and effective procedure removes surface stains, buffs away minor imperfections, and enhances the shine of your teeth, giving you a brighter, fresher smile.

What Is Dental Polishing?

Dental polishing is a cosmetic and preventative dental procedure that involves smoothing the surface of your teeth using specialised tools and polishing paste. While it is often done at the end of a professional cleaning or scaling appointment, it can also be performed as a standalone treatment to improve the appearance and feel of your teeth.

Polishing removes surface stains and biofilm, reduces plaque buildup, and enhances your smile’s shine.

Benefits of Dental Polishing

Dental polishing provides a range of aesthetic and oral health benefits:

  • Brighter Smile: Removes surface stains and gives your teeth a polished, shiny appearance.
  • Smoother Teeth: Polished teeth feel clean and smooth, making it harder for plaque to adhere.
  • Improved Oral Hygiene: Helps reduce bacteria by removing biofilm and minor plaque buildup.
  • Enhances Confidence: A polished smile looks and feels fresh, boosting your self-confidence.

When Should You Get Dental Polishing?

Dental polishing is typically included as part of your regular dental cleaning appointment. However, you may choose polishing as a standalone treatment if you:

  • Have minor surface stains on your teeth
  • Want to refresh your smile for a special occasion
  • Recently completed orthodontic treatment or whitening and want to enhance results

Our dentists will recommend the best schedule for polishing based on your oral health and lifestyle habits.

How Long Does Polishing Take?

A typical polishing session takes only 10 to 15 minutes, making it a convenient addition to your dental care routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does polishing whiten teeth?

Polishing removes surface stains and improves the shine of your teeth, making them appear brighter. However, it does not change the natural colour of your teeth. For deeper whitening, we recommend our professional teeth whitening treatments.

Is polishing safe for my teeth?

Yes, dental polishing is safe when performed by a professional. We use gentle techniques to ensure your enamel is not damaged.

How often should I have my teeth polished?

Most patients benefit from polishing during their regular cleaning appointments every six months. If you consume staining foods or drinks, you may opt for additional polishing sessions to maintain a bright smile.
