Teeth Cleaning & Scaling in DHA Karachi
Written quote before treatment — no hidden charges. First consultation is free.
How much does teeth cleaning cost in Karachi?
A professional scaling and polishing session at our DHA clinic costs PKR 5,000. This includes ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar above and below the gumline, stain removal, and a final polish for a smooth, clean finish. Deep cleaning for gum disease (per quadrant) is quoted separately after examination.
What happens during a scaling and polishing appointment?
- Examination: we check your gums, measure any pockets, and note stain and tartar buildup.
- Ultrasonic scaling: high-frequency vibrations break up hardened tartar; a water spray washes it away.
- Hand scaling: fine instruments clean between teeth and just under the gumline.
- Polishing: a rotating brush with polishing paste removes surface stains and smooths the enamel.
- Review: we show you the results and advise on home care.
Is scaling bad for your teeth or enamel?
No — this is the most common myth we hear. Professional scaling does not weaken teeth or create gaps. The "gaps" some people notice after cleaning were already there, hidden under tartar. What scaling does do is stop gum disease, which is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in Pakistan.
How often should you get your teeth cleaned?
Every six months for most people. If you smoke, drink a lot of chai, or have early gum disease, Dr Marina may recommend every 3–4 months until your gums stabilise.

Frequently asked questions
How much is scaling and polishing in DHA Karachi?
At Dr Marina Shah Dental Clinic, scaling and polishing costs PKR 5,000 for a standard 30–45 minute session.
Does teeth cleaning hurt?
Most patients feel only mild vibration and tickling. If your gums are inflamed, there may be slight sensitivity — we can use numbing gel on request.
Will scaling make my teeth loose?
No. Scaling removes tartar; it does not loosen teeth. Teeth that feel 'different' after cleaning were being held partly by tartar — a sign the cleaning was overdue.
How long does teeth whitening from cleaning last?
Polishing removes surface stains but is not whitening. For a visibly brighter shade, see our professional teeth whitening treatment.
Can I eat after scaling?
Yes, though we recommend waiting 30 minutes and avoiding very hot, cold or spicy foods for a few hours if your gums are sensitive.
Do you offer deep cleaning for gum disease?
Yes. If examination shows deep pockets or bone loss, we plan quadrant-wise deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), quoted after diagnosis.
