When eating, or drinking coffee or tea, a soft plaque forms on the surface of the teeth — a thin, sticky film of bacteria. With inadequate home hygiene, it gradually mineralizes and turns into dental tartar (calculus). These deposits lead to cavities, gum inflammation, periodontitis, bleeding, and bad breath.

To avoid complications, the dentists at Doctor Dent in Astana recommend undergoing professional oral hygiene every 6 months. Dental tartar removal is a mandatory step in comprehensive tooth cleaning. We gently remove hard deposits and plaque, restoring the natural color of the enamel and strengthening the teeth.

At the Doctor Dent clinic, we create a space where dentistry stops being a cause for concern. The anti-stress approach begins with a warm atmosphere and a caring attitude toward every patient. We use modern technologies and certified materials, strictly adhering to international standards for quality and safety. Experienced, highly qualified doctors ensure precision, comfort, and confidence in the results — because your peace of mind and health are our top priorities.

Modern Equipment. Tartar removal is performed using the PIEZON® PS ultrasonic tip — this technology ensures precise and maximally comfortable removal of hard deposits without pain.

Experienced Specialists. Doctor Dent employs certified dentists and hygienists with extensive practical experience. The procedure is performed carefully, delicately, and without significant discomfort.

Comprehensive Approach. Tartar removal is part of an 8-stage professional hygiene process following the Swiss GBT protocol. The procedure also includes Air Flow cleaning, enamel fluoridation, selection of home hygiene products, and training in the correct brushing technique. No additional hidden fees.

The main reasons for the formation of hard dental deposits include:

• irregular or insufficiently thorough tooth brushing
• not using dental floss or interdental brushes
• a diet dominated by soft foods
• smoking
• frequent consumption of sugary drinks, pastries, and fast carbohydrates

Even with good care, it is impossible to completely prevent plaque formation, which is why professional tooth cleaning is necessary on a regular basis.

Based on its location, there are two types of dental tartar:

1. Supragingival Tartar — forms above the gum line, in the neck area of the tooth. It is usually visible and easily identified during an examination.
2. Subgingival Tartar — forms below the gum line, in the periodontal pockets and along the tooth root. It is detected using special instruments and requires professional removal.

Both types pose a threat to the health of the teeth and gums, so the procedure should not be delayed.

Hard deposits gradually deepen the periodontal pocket and contribute to the destruction of the tissues holding the tooth. This can lead to:

• the development of gingivitis and periodontitis
• bleeding gums
• tooth mobility
• bad breath
• the development of cavities
• in advanced cases — tooth loss

It is impossible to remove dental tartar at home. The effective and safe solution is professional hygiene at the dentist.

Tartar removal is part of a comprehensive professional oral hygiene treatment. The cost of the procedure is included in the price of the professional tooth cleaning.

Before the ultrasonic removal, soft plaque is removed using the Air Flow system. After the hard deposits are removed, fluoridation or enamel remineralization is performed to strengthen it.

It is important to understand that the price of professional hygiene depends on the level of equipment, the qualifications of the doctors, and the scope of the procedure. The Doctor Dent clinic in Astana uses modern 3d dental equipment that meets international quality standards.

We recommend undergoing professional tooth cleaning every 6 months or according to an individual schedule (for example, during pregnancy or while wearing braces).

At Doctor Dent, dental tartar removal is performed using the ultrasonic method. Ultrasound creates vibrations at a specific frequency that effectively break down hard deposits without damaging the enamel or soft tissues.

We do not use traumatic mechanical or chemical removal methods. Laser tartar removal is not used in our clinic, as ultrasonic technology is considered more predictable and safe.

The professional hygiene procedure is performed as gently as possible. In most cases, tartar removal is painless.

If the deposits are significant and the patient has not had a tooth cleaning for a long time, slight discomfort is possible. In such situations, we can offer additional comfort — conscious sedation (nitrous oxide).

After tartar removal and professional tooth cleaning:

• pathogenic bacteria are eliminated
• the risk of developing cavities and gum disease is reduced
• teeth become smoother and brighter (by approximately 1–2 shades)
• the condition of the gums improves
• breath becomes fresh

It is important to understand that professional hygiene is not tooth whitening, but a preventive dental procedure.

After the cleaning is complete, the dentist will provide recommendations for home care and advise on the use of dental floss, interdental brushes, and other tools to slow down the re-formation of dental tartar.
