Dental cleaning in Girona
A professional dental cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that daily hygiene cannot get rid of. At Implantdent we carry out dental cleanings at our two clinics in Girona —the Migdia one and the Santa Eugènia one— both for regular patients and for people coming in for the first time.
Regular cleaning is not an aesthetic whim: it is a basic part of oral prevention. Together with daily brushing and flossing, it is the only way to prevent cavities, gingivitis, gum recession and chronic bad breath.
What we do during a dental cleaning
- Initial check of the condition of your teeth and gums.
- Removal of tartar built up above the gum line using ultrasound.
- Polishing to remove surface stains (tobacco, coffee, tea, wine).
- Fluoride application where appropriate.
- Personalised advice to improve your hygiene routine.
Difference between a dental cleaning and root planing (scaling and root planing)
This is a very common confusion and the difference matters, because the treatment and the price are different:
- Dental cleaning (prophylaxis). It works above the gum line. It removes tartar and stains from the crown of the tooth. It is a preventive, routine treatment.
- Root planing, also called scaling and root planing. It works below the gum line. It cleans the tooth roots when there is periodontal disease. It usually requires local anaesthetic and several sessions.
If your gums bleed when you brush, if you have persistent bad breath or the feeling that a tooth is moving, you may need root planing rather than a routine cleaning. We assess this at the first visit and tell you clearly.

Price of a dental cleaning in Girona
The price depends on the condition you arrive in and on the type of cleaning you actually need. A maintenance cleaning in a patient with good hygiene does not cost the same as a cleaning with a lot of tartar build-up, and it should not be confused with root planing, which is a separate periodontal treatment.
At the first visit we review your case and give you the exact price before starting. If what you need is not a cleaning but root planing, we tell you clearly and give you the corresponding quote, with no obligation.
How often to have a dental cleaning
The general recommendation is every 6 to 12 months. The exact frequency depends on several factors:
- Habits. If you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, tea or red wine, stains and tartar build up sooner; every 6 months is advisable.
- Type of saliva. Some people have a greater genetic tendency to form tartar.
- History of periodontal disease. If you have had gingivitis or periodontitis, check-ups are usually every 3 or 4 months.
- Wearing braces. During orthodontic treatment with braces the recommended frequency increases.
At the check-up we define the schedule that suits you best; we do not apply a generic calendar.

Frequently asked questions about dental cleaning in Girona
Under normal conditions, no. If the gums are inflamed or there is a lot of tartar, you may feel some occasional discomfort, but the procedure is very manageable. If your sensitivity is high, we can adapt the technique.

It removes external stains (tobacco, coffee, wine) and restores the tooth's natural shade, but it is not a teeth whitening treatment. If you want to lighten the base shade, we can assess a separate whitening treatment.
