Dental Cleaning & Check-Up

Professional scaling and polishing with a comprehensive dental check-up to detect cavities, gum disease, and oral health concerns early. Routine preventive care at the Camden Medical Centre clinic.

Singapore Dental Implant Centre offers routine dental check-ups and professional cleaning (scaling and polishing) as the foundation of its preventive care philosophy. Regular professional cleaning removes calculus (tartar) and plaque deposits from tooth surfaces and the gum line that cannot be eliminated by home brushing and flossing alone. The appointment typically begins with a clinical examination by Dr David Ng or the attending dentist, including assessment of gum health (pocket depth charting where indicated), cavity detection, and screening for early signs of oral pathology. Digital radiographs may be taken to identify interproximal decay or bone changes not visible clinically. The polishing phase removes surface staining — from coffee, tea, or tobacco — and leaves tooth surfaces smooth and clean. For patients with early or established periodontal disease, the clinic can progress to more intensive gum care protocols including deep scaling (root planing) under local anaesthesia. The clinic's Monday-to-Friday (8:30 am–5:30 pm) and Saturday morning schedule accommodates most working adults, and the Orchard location at Camden Medical Centre is easily accessible by MRT and bus. Routine check-ups every 6 months are recommended for most patients as part of the clinic's preventive dental care programme.
