What are scaling and sandblasting?
Descaling removes mineralized deposits that accumulate on the tooth surface and along the gum line.
Sandblasting is aimed at removing softer deposits and surface pigmentation from areas that are harder to clean with the standard procedure.
Depending on the condition, the procedures can be combined and finished with tooth polishing.

Scale removal or teeth whitening?
After the removal of tartar and pigmentation, teeth often look fresher because their natural surface is visible again.
That is still not the same as bleaching.
Cleaning removes deposits and external staining, while bleaching affects the natural shade of the tooth itself. That is why professional hygiene is often the first step before considering whitening.

The frequency depends on the rate of plaque buildup, the condition of the gums, and daily oral hygiene.
With healthy gums, the treatment is often well tolerated. If the teeth are sensitive or the gums are inflamed, greater discomfort is possible and the procedure is adjusted accordingly.
The rate of formation varies among patients and depends on saliva composition, tooth position, oral hygiene, and other factors.
Sandblasting can help remove soft deposits and certain surface pigmentation, for example from coffee, tea, or tobacco.
They may look lighter if they were previously covered with pigmentations, but their natural color does not change as it does with bleaching.
Hardened dental calculus cannot be safely removed with a regular toothbrush or floss and requires professional cleaning.
If the gums are inflamed, transient bleeding or sensitivity may occur during or after cleaning.
Not necessarily. In periodontal disease, more detailed periodontal treatment that goes beyond standard professional cleaning may be necessary.
