Professional Dental Cleaning (PZR)

A professional cleaning (PZR) removes plaque, tartar and surface stains that brushing cannot reach, helping keep the gums healthy and the teeth looking clean. Zahnärzte im Schloss carries out PZR in Berlin-Steglitz as a routine preventive visit and as a recommended first step before whitening or veneers. English-, Greek- and Spanish-speaking care is available for international patients.

Professional dental cleaning — in German, Professionelle Zahnreinigung or PZR — removes the hardened tartar and bacterial plaque that build up over time and cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. Scaling instruments break tartar away from the teeth and just below the gumline, while polishing lifts coffee, tea, wine and tobacco stains and smooths the tooth surface. Keeping these deposits under control supports healthier gums that bleed less, fresher breath, and earlier detection of decay or gum problems before they become more serious. At Zahnärzte im Schloss a PZR is offered both as a standalone preventive appointment and as a preparatory step before cosmetic treatment: the practice recommends a clean before whitening so the bleaching gel acts on an even surface, and a clean surface also helps when assessing shade for veneers. The treatment costs around €125. As a regular visit it supports the longevity of fillings, crowns, veneers and implants, and the team will advise how often you should return based on your gum health and habits. A PZR is suitable for nearly everyone. For international patients, it is easy to combine with a check-up or treatment planning in a single visit, with English-, Greek- and Spanish-speaking staff on hand and online booking available via Doctolib.
