Teeth Cleaning (Scaling) in Ortho Oral

About the clinic

Teeth cleaning, or supragingival scaling, at Ortho Oral in Santo Domingo helps maintain oral health and prevents gum disease. The clinic has operated in the Dominican Republic for over 20 years and offers a free consultation and cleaning when patients present a printed promotional ad. This preventive treatment removes bacterial plaque and calcified deposits from the visible part of the tooth.

Advanced Scaling Techniques

The dental team uses supragingival scaling to clear away plaque and calculus from the tooth crown. This process lowers the risk of developing gingivitis and periodontitis. After scaling, the dentist uses a micro-motor with a prophylaxis brush. They use circular movements to polish the teeth and remove remaining surface stains. The clinic suggests following this prevention protocol every six months.

Diagnostic and Hygiene Support

Ortho Oral features an on-site Radiological Support Center. Patients can get panoramic, lateral skull, and periapical X-rays in one location. The center also provides intraoral scanning to save waiting time for travelers. To keep teeth clean between visits, the facility includes a dedicated brushing area. Here, patients receive instructions on flossing, oral rinses, and plaque control.

Patient Benefits and Safety

The clinic follows strict biosafety protocols in a dedicated sterilization area for all instruments. International patients can access special VIP plans. These memberships often cover two cleaning sessions and two scalings per year at reduced costs. The tourist plan provides a 50% discount on preventive dentistry services. A dedicated team assists with priority scheduling and virtual follow-ups after patients return home.

Ortho Oral: more details about the clinic

Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo

Ortho Oral is a private multi-specialty dental clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Founded in Colombia in 1995, it expanded to the Dominican Republic in 2000. The facility operates four specialized departments under one roof, treating both adults and children.Five specialized doctors care for local and international patients. The clinic also runs the Ortho Oral Mobile Clinics initiative. This program delivers oral health services and education directly to neighborhoods across the region.

Main Specialties and Dental Procedures

The clinic covers major dental fields: oral rehabilitation, endodontics, and periodontics. Specialists handle everything from routine care to complex surgeries.

Oral Implantology: Surgeons place dental implants using materials like zirconia for lasting tooth replacement.
Orthodontics and Orthopedics: Options include ceramic, self-ligating, and invisible braces to correct teeth positioning and jaw disorders.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Treatments include teeth whitening, minimal-prep veneers, and direct veneers for smile enhancement.
Maxillofacial Surgery: The surgical team performs simple and complex extractions, including impacted root removal.
Pediatric Dentistry: Dr. Celi Hernández treats children, focusing on prevention and early orthodontics.

A signature service is laser frenectomy. This procedure removes tissue folds that restrict tongue or lip movement. The laser method is more precise than traditional surgery. It needs less anesthesia and causes less inflammation afterward.

Panoramic X-rays (OPG)
Lateral skull and periapical X-rays
Intraoral scanning
Digital Smile Design (DSD) for aesthetic planning

An in-house orthodontics lab speeds up appliance production using imported materials.

Patient Safety and Hygiene Protocols

Sterilization anchors the clinic's daily workflow. A dedicated TOTAL STERILIZATION area handles all instruments and equipment. Staff follow strict biosafety procedures for infectious disease control. Digital diagnostics fit into these protocols, so treatment stays accurate within a sterile environment.
