Teeth Polishing in Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal
At Sourire Plateau, our dental hygienists in Plateau-Mont-Royal and Montreal provide professional polishing to give your smile a smooth, clean, and healthy shine. Polishing removes stains and plaque buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, helping to keep your teeth bright and your gums healthy.
What Is Dental Polishing?
Dental polishing is the final step of your professional cleaning. After scaling or routine cleaning, your hygienist uses a gentle polishing paste and a soft rubber cup to smooth the tooth surface. This process removes surface stains, gives teeth a natural sheen, and helps prevent new plaque from accumulating.

How Often Should You Have Your Teeth Polished?
For most patients, teeth polishing is recommended every six months as part of routine dental cleanings. Your dentist or hygienist may suggest more frequent visits if you’re prone to staining or tartar buildup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is polishing the same as cleaning?
Not exactly. Polishing focuses on smoothing and brightening the teeth, while scaling or deep cleaning removes tartar below the gumline.
Does polishing make teeth whiter?
It removes surface stains, so your teeth will appear brighter—but it’s not a substitute for whitening.
Is polishing safe for enamel?
Yes. When performed by a dental hygienist using professional materials, polishing is gentle and safe for your enamel.
