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.

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.

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.
