Teeth Cleaning (Scaling) in Bauhinia Dental
About the clinic
Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling, at Bauhinia Dental in Shenzhen or Hong Kong helps maintain oral health for a price around $10. This procedure uses ultrasonic tools to remove buildup above and below the gumline. The clinic was the first dental facility established under the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA).
What the Cleaning Package Includes
The basic scaling package offers several services in one visit. It typically costs around $10 and includes:
- Full mouth scaling to remove hardened plaque and tartar.
- Polishing to smooth the tooth surface and remove stains.
- X-ray imaging to check for hidden dental issues.
Technology and Methods
Bauhinia Dental uses ultrasonic scaling equipment. This method uses high-frequency vibrations to break up deposits on the teeth. It effectively removes calculus from both supragingival and subgingival areas, which means it cleans above and below the gums. For more complex cases, the clinic uses advanced diagnostic tools like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to get clear 3D images of the jaw.
Expert Medical Team
The clinic was founded by Dr. Zhu Shengji, an orthodontist with a PhD from Peking University. Dr. Zhu Shengji is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and has served as an Honorary Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Hong Kong. General dentistry services are also provided by Dr. Li Shuxia, who holds a PhD in Oral Medicine from Peking University. The team follows high standards for cross-border dental care between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
About the Clinic
Bauhinia Dental is a participant in the Hong Kong Elderly Medical Voucher scheme. This makes dental care more accessible for older patients. Because the clinic operates in multiple locations, it offers continuity for patients traveling between Hong Kong and mainland China. Their focus remains on providing affordable preventative care using modern dental equipment.

Bauhinia Dental: more details about the clinic
Purple Orchid Dental is a private clinic network established in 2026. It operates three locations across Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Dr. Zhu Shengji founded the facility to provide cross-border dental care. He is a Hong Kong government-registered dentist with doctoral studies at Peking University. He also trained at the University of Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons. The network runs two specialized units in Shenzhen and one outpatient clinic in Hong Kong.
Key Facts & Achievements
The network employs eight doctors across four departments. They trained at the University of Hong Kong, Peking University, and Nanjing Medical University. The team includes a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Another doctor belongs to the World Federation of Orthodontists.
Specialties & Procedures
The clinic provides targeted dental care across multiple specialties:
Orthodontics and Clear Aligner Therapy
The orthodontic department creates customized care plans using clear and traditional brackets. Doctors correct bite alignment with several systems:
- Invisalign clear aligners
- Ceramic braces
- Self-ligating braces
- Lingual braces
- Traditional metal braces
Dentists use specialized imaging to assess bone and tooth positions before planning treatment. Team specialists hold official Invisalign certifications.
Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry
The restorative department improves tooth appearance and function. Specialists perform resin restorations to repair chipped or decayed teeth. The clinic also provides custom porcelain veneers and full ceramic crowns. These restorations cover surface defects and strengthen damaged structures.
Dental Implantology
For patients with missing teeth, the clinic offers implant surgery using Swiss-made Straumann Dental Implants. This system provides reliable osseointegration – where bone grows around the implant. Dr. Li Xin focuses on implant care. Dr. Wang Ting holds a PhD in prosthodontics, so she manages complex tooth restorations.
Periodontal Care and Oral Surgery
The clinic operates a periodontal disease center to treat periodontitis and periodontosis. Doctors use ultrasonic equipment for supragingival cleaning and subgingival scaling. These techniques remove calculus from above and below the gumline.
For severe gum disease, surgeons perform flap surgery or apply semiconductor and water lasers. General surgical treatments include standard extractions and wisdom tooth removal. Fully erupted wisdom teeth take under 30 minutes to remove. Impacted teeth require one hour or longer. After surgery, the clinic tracks recovery through a follow-up program to reduce infection risks.
Teeth Whitening
The clinic offers two whitening options:
- In-clinic whitening completed in 1–2 sessions
- Home whitening using custom trays worn 15–30 minutes daily
Over 90% of patients achieve satisfactory results. Dentists treat cavities and gum issues first to prevent sensitivity. For home treatments, patients receive custom trays during two visits. Mild sensitivity may occur but resolves when treatment stops.
Equipment & Technologies
The clinics use specialized diagnostic equipment:
- CBCT – 3D dental imaging for precise bone assessment
- Panoramic X-ray systems for full-jaw views
- Periapical X-ray imaging for targeted tooth root inspection
- CEREC Omnicam – digital scanning to create 3D dental models
Digital scanning replaces traditional paste impressions, which improves patient comfort.
Services for International Patients
Purple Orchid Dental coordinates care continuity between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The clinic participates in the Hong Kong Elderly Medical Voucher program. Eligible seniors can use government vouchers at both Shenzhen locations. The clinic also integrates with Hong Kong's medical health app. This lets users access their cross-border health records directly at the Shenzhen clinics.
