Brown and yellow film from tea, coffee, paan or smoking is removed, so the true colour of your enamel shows again.
A short visit that lifts surface stains and leaves teeth smooth
Polishing is the finishing step of a professional clean. A soft rotating cup and a mildly gritty paste are used to buff away surface stains and leave the enamel smooth. Your teeth return to their own natural colour. They do not become a new one.
It is a small treatment, but it helps to know what you are getting. At our Bandra West clinic the dentist first looks at where your stains are and what is causing them, then tells you plainly whether polishing will be enough or whether scaling, whitening or something else would serve you better.

Polishing needs no injection and has no recovery period. You can walk out and carry on with your day.
Teeth feel slick to the tongue afterwards, and many people find that a freshly polished surface is easier to keep clean for a while.
Two different things build up on teeth. Plaque is a soft bacterial film that you remove by brushing. When plaque is left, it hardens into tartar, also called calculus, which brushing cannot shift. Stain then clings to both.
Scaling removes the tartar, and polishing follows to take off the remaining stain and smooth the surface. If you have hard deposits, polishing alone will not remove them, and the dentist will recommend scaling first. If your teeth are already free of tartar, a polish may be all that is needed.
During the polish, the dentist or hygienist works around each tooth with a small rubber cup or brush loaded with paste. Stubborn stains in grooves or between teeth may be treated with a fine powder spray where suitable. You then rinse, and the teeth are checked.
Polishing is gentle, but it is not something to overdo. It is usually done as part of routine cleaning visits at the interval your dentist advises, not every few weeks. Exposed root surfaces and some restorations need lighter handling, so tell us about any sensitive areas.
Get StartedPolishing works on stains that sit on the surface. These are the situations where patients tend to notice the change most.
Regular cups of chai or coffee leave a film, especially near the gum line and on the inner side of the lower front teeth.
Dark brown or black staining from tobacco usually responds to scaling and polishing, though it returns if the habit continues.
A clean and polish a few days ahead of a wedding, interview or shoot freshens your smile without altering how you look.
Clearing stain first lets the dentist see your real tooth colour before whitening or before choosing the shade of a crown or filling.
If your teeth are naturally yellowish, have darkened with age, or carry stains within the enamel, a polish will leave them cleaner but not lighter. Whitening, bonding or veneers are the treatments that change tooth colour, and your dentist can advise whether you need any of them.
