Professional teeth cleaning
Dental care means more than daily brushing and flossing at home. Professional teeth cleaning in our practice removes what toothbrush and floss cannot reach and should ideally be repeated every six months. Only then can problems be prevented before they arise.
- Duration
- 45–60 minutes
- Recommended
- every 6 months, with periodontitis every 3–4 months
- Cost
- approx. €80–150 (private service, GOZ)
- Insurance
- many statutory insurers subsidise it, private insurers usually reimburse
- Suitable for
- adults, teenagers, pregnant women, implant wearers
All prices are non-binding guide values (German dental fee schedule GOZ, as of 2026) and depend on your individual findings. Your personal treatment and cost plan, which you receive before any major treatment, is binding.
What happens during professional teeth cleaning
Our dental assistants remove hard and soft deposits, tartar and stains from all tooth surfaces, including the spaces between the teeth and along the gum line. The teeth are then polished so that new plaque builds up more slowly, and protected with a fluoride varnish.
Personal oral hygiene advice is always part of the cleaning: we show you which brushing technique and which aids (floss, interdental brushes) suit your teeth.
Why every six months
Bacterial plaque forms constantly. If it is removed professionally on a regular basis, the risk of caries, gum inflammation and periodontitis drops significantly. A six-month rhythm has proven itself; with periodontitis, implants or an increased caries risk, a shorter interval can make sense. We agree the interval with you individually.
