How Much Does Scaling and Polishing Cost in DHA Karachi?
What your PKR 5,000 includes
- Gum examination — we check for bleeding, pockets and early gum disease before starting.
- Ultrasonic scaling — tartar shattered and washed away, including under the gumline.
- Hand scaling — fine detailing between teeth.
- Stain removal & polish — chai, coffee and smoking stains lifted; enamel polished smooth.
- Home-care advice — personalised brushing and flossing guidance.
How often do you need scaling?
Every six months for most people. Smokers, heavy chai drinkers, diabetics, or anyone with early gum disease may need it every 3–4 months until gums stabilise. Skipping cleanings doesn't save money — treating advanced gum disease costs many times more than preventing it.
Is scaling harmful? (The myth, answered)
No. Scaling does not weaken teeth, create gaps, or loosen teeth. The "gaps" people notice were already there, hidden under tartar. What scaling prevents — gum disease, bone loss, bad breath, and eventual tooth loss — is far worse than any imagined harm.
Signs you're overdue for a cleaning
- Gums bleed when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Yellow-brown buildup near the gumline
- It's been over a year (or you can't remember)
Frequently asked questions
What is the cost of scaling in DHA Karachi?
PKR 5,000 for a standard 30–45 minute scaling and polishing session at our clinic.
How long does scaling take?
About 30–45 minutes for routine cleaning. Deep cleaning for gum disease takes longer and is quoted per quadrant.
Does scaling whiten teeth?
It removes surface stains, which brightens your smile — but for a dramatically whiter shade, professional whitening is the treatment.
Can I get scaling during pregnancy?
Yes — routine cleaning is safe during pregnancy and actually important, as hormonal changes increase gum inflammation. We avoid X-rays and elective work.
