Dental Spa

Quick answer

What is this treatment?

Dental Spa combines extensive professional cleaning with removal of plaque, tartar and superficial staining. When suitable and after consultation with the dentist, a chairside whitening refresh may follow. The result is generally subtler than home whitening.

When it may be needed

• You want superficial staining removed professionally.
• You would like a fresh, cared-for appearance for visible teeth.
• You want to discuss whether a subtle whitening refresh is suitable.
• Your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic-preventive care.

What to expect

• We first assess whether the treatment is safe and suitable.
• Cleaning is tailored to your gums, staining and sensitivity.
• Scaling and AirPolishing may be used where appropriate.
• Any whitening refresh takes place only after consultation and a suitability assessment.

Preparation and aftercare

• Mention sensitive teeth, oral problems and previous reactions to whitening products.
• Follow personal advice about eating, drinking and oral care afterwards.
• Cosmetic results vary and superficial staining can return.

Costs and insurance

For treatments where this is legally required or appropriate, you receive a clear cost estimate in advance. Current NZa rates are available on our pricing page.
