Regular checkups help detect and prevent dental diseases early. At our practice in Vienna, our prophylaxis specialists combine professional teeth cleaning, individual consultations, and structured monitoring programs. The goal is to preserve natural teeth for as long as possible and avoid extensive treatments.
How regular checkups protect teeth and gums
Preventive care begins with the thorough removal of plaque and tartar. Even with meticulous oral hygiene, hard deposits can form that can only be removed with professional instruments.
In our dental practice, cleaning is performed using state-of-the-art equipment. Ultrasound gently removes tartar, while air polishing devices eliminate stains. Afterward, the teeth are polished to create smooth surfaces to which new plaque adheres much less easily.
Individualized consultation is another key component. Our specialists explain how oral hygiene, nutrition, and proper fluoride application can contribute to long-term dental health. Recommendations are tailored to your age, dental condition, and individual risk factors.
