Tartar cannot be brushed away — it is hardened plaque bonded to the enamel that creeps below the gum. A professional cleaning from 10,000 AMD removes exactly what you cannot reach at home. It is the cheapest procedure there is, and it prevents the most expensive ones.
After eating, a soft film of bacteria stays on the tooth. For the first 24-48 hours a brush removes it easily. But if it stays, minerals in your saliva harden it into tartar. From that point no brush and no toothpaste will shift it — only an instrument will.
The problem is that tartar does not stop at the tooth. It grows under the gum, pushes the gum away from the tooth and forms a pocket. Inside that pocket the bacteria are unreachable, inflammation becomes permanent, and bone loss begins — periodontitis. That, not decay, is the main reason people lose teeth after 40.
Most importantly, this whole process is painless until the late stages. By the time a tooth starts to loosen, a significant amount of bone is already gone, and it does not come back.
In the second trimester of pregnancy a cleaning is not only possible but recommended: hormonal changes make gum inflammation very common in that period.
Both start with removing tartar. The difference is in the last stage.
| Option | What it includes | Who it suits | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scaling + polish | Ultrasonic tartar removal plus polishing with paste | When there is tartar but no heavy staining | 10,000 ֏ (≈ $25) |
| Scaling + Airflow | The same, plus deep cleaning with a jet of air, water and powder | Coffee and tea drinkers, smokers — it lifts the staining | 15,000 ֏ (≈ $40) |
Airflow does not whiten the tooth — it restores its natural colour by removing the layer on top. If you want a shade lighter than natural, that is light whitening (70,000 ֏), and it is only done after a cleaning.
The whole procedure takes 40-60 minutes, in a single visit.
The dentist assesses how much tartar there is, the condition of the gums and the depth of any pockets. If the inflammation is deep, the plan may include gum treatment.
The tip vibrates at high frequency and lifts tartar off the enamel without scratching it, while a water jet washes it away. You feel vibration and coolness.
A jet of air, water and fine powder removes staining and plaque from the hardest places to reach: between the teeth and in the grooves.
A special paste and brush smooth the surface. This matters: plaque sticks to a smooth tooth far more slowly.
A fluoride varnish to strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.
Usually within 3-7 days as the inflammation settles. If it does not settle, gum treatment is needed.
The main source of the smell is bacteria under the gum, not the stomach.
They are not bleached; they return to their natural shade as the surface layer comes off.
In the first days the enamel picks up staining more easily.
No. You feel vibration, the coolness of the water and sometimes mild discomfort at the gum. If your teeth are very sensitive a local anaesthetic gel is used — just tell the dentist.
No. The tip does not scratch the enamel — it vibrates and releases the tartar at its point of attachment. Tartar itself is far worse for enamel, since it holds bacteria pressed against the tooth.
Tartar sometimes covers an exposed tooth neck like a lid. Once it is removed the neck needs a few days to adjust. Fluoride speeds that up. If sensitivity lasts more than a week, call us.
Once or twice a year. Every 3-4 months for smokers, people wearing braces and anyone prone to periodontitis. The dentist will give you the exact interval after examining you.
They will return to their natural colour. That is often a noticeable difference if a layer of coffee or tobacco staining has built up. To go lighter than natural you need separate whitening (70,000 ֏).
We accept payment by card only, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Armenia.
