Dental cleaning and polishing for patients with implants
Because an implant is not scaled in the same way as a natural tooth…
Yes! if you want to keep your implants for life, you also need to look after them. Teeth cleaning and polishing with CHD allow them to be optimally cleaned using specific and precise techniques.
Teeth cleaning and polishing for patients with implants at CHD

Whatever technique is used, the treatment is painless, especially if it is carried out regularly.
If it’s been a long time since your last scaling and you’re still suffering from some inflammation, the hygienist’s sensitivity and empathy will help you to adapt to any sensitivities you may have.
Similarly, don’t hesitate to let him know your preferences for manual curettes or ultrasound instruments, so that he can make a note of your choice for future occasions.
Dental check-up :
Included in the scaling and polishing, this is carried out by the Hygienist during your treatment and also includes two complimentary check-up X-rays. This allows the Hygienist to refer you to a treating dentist or to one of our on-site dentists should treatment prove necessary.

A complete session during which your hygienist will also check for the absence of any oral pathology.
Teeth cleaning and polishing go hand in hand as part of this oral care programme.
At CHD we use manual (Deppeler) and ultrasonic (EMS) instruments specially designed for cleaning around implants, without the risk of damaging them.
Teeth cleaning is carried out using two techniques:
By ultrasound from the Swiss brand EMS. We use the latest generation of EMS “NO-PAIN” technology.
Manually, using high-precision manual curettes (Swiss brand Deppeler).
Polishing can be carried out using two complementary techniques:
Using an air-polisher (AIRFLOW from EMS)
Applying a dental polishing paste to the surface of the teeth.
If it’s been a long time since your last scale & polish…
…and there is some inflammation, the hygienist’s sensitivity and empathy will enable her to adapt to any sensitivities you may have. Don’t hesitate to tell her about your preference for manual curettes or ultrasound instruments, so that she can make a note of your choice for future sessions.

Advice
Teeth cleaning and polishing are designed to ensure that there are no tartar or plaque deposits around the implants, to avoid any inflammation that could affect their longevity. As their maintenance is slightly different from that of a natural tooth, the session ends with tailor-made oral hygiene advice provided by the hygienist.

Why are scaling and polishing essential for dental implants?
Just like natural teeth, dental implants need to be regularly cleaned, scaled, and polished to ensure long-term preservation. Scaling and polishing go hand in hand, preventing the buildup of tartar and dental plaque on and around the implants.
This helps reduce the risk of inflammation or oral health issues and ensures the longevity of the implants.
How does the hygienist adapt to your sensitivities during treatment?
Dental cleaning and polishing are at the core of a dental hygienist’s expertise. As such, the hygienist is highly skilled in ensuring the procedure is as comfortable as possible for you.
If you have specific sensitivities, be sure to discuss them with your hygienist. They can adjust the method and equipment used (such as manual curettes or ultrasonic instruments) and provide the utmost care and gentleness.
How often should I have my implants cleaned?
The frequency of scaling and polishing for your dental implants mainly depends on your oral health condition and, most importantly, how diligently you clean and maintain them.
In general, if you practice good daily oral hygiene, dental cleaning and polishing can be done every 9 to 12 months.
What are the costs of scaling and polishing at CHD?
At CHD, whether you have dental implants or not, the cost of dental cleaning and polishing is the same: 140.- CHF (compared to an average of 190.- CHF in Swiss Romandy). This price includes scaling and polishing of all your teeth and implants, a dental health check-up, and two X-rays.
