Teeth Polishing
What is tooth polishing?
Teeth polishing is a quick, gentle finishing step that removes surface stains and smooths your enamel after a cleaning, leaving your smile looking brighter and feeling fresh.
How does it work?
Using a soft rotating tool and a mildly abrasive polishing paste, your hygienist buffs away stains from coffee, tea, wine, and everyday wear. The process takes just a few minutes and is completely painless.

FAQS
Does polishing whiten my teeth?
Polishing removes surface stains and can make your teeth look noticeably brighter, but it isn't a substitute for professional whitening. If you're looking for a more dramatic change in shade, ask us about our whitening options.
How often should I have my teeth polished?
Most patients have their teeth polished at every routine cleaning, typically every six months. Your dentist may recommend more frequent polishing if you drink a lot of coffee, tea, or red wine.
Is teeth polishing painful?
Not at all. Polishing is one of the most comfortable parts of your dental visit. Some patients feel a slight vibration, but there's no pressure or discomfort involved.
Can polishing replace brushing at home?
The time it takes for the sedatives to wear off depends on the dose you've received, how long your treatment is, and how quickly your own body can recover. Because sedation causes drowsiness, it is recommended that you have a family member or friend drive you to and from your appointment. After your treatment, you should not drive, drink alcohol, or operate machinery.

Dr. Jain is absolutely top notch!
I'd scheduled an office visit because a filling fell out. He told me my options, showing me that the tooth now had a crack. My preference was for a crown rather than reinserting the filling. Dr. Jain made time to do the crown that very day, squeezing me in in order to save me another round-trip to his office (3 1/2 hours travel time, as I come all the way from Westchester to see him.)
And the filling that came out? He had put it in...20 years ago!
Can't beat that for excellence in dentistry!
