ORAL HYGIENE

Dental Cleaning

Maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine is essential not only for a healthy smile but for your overall health. At The Cosmetic and Dental Emporium in Cape Town, we recommend professional dental cleanings at least twice a year to prevent oral diseases, preserve the health of your teeth and gums, and detect early signs of underlying issues.

Trusted by dental professionals worldwide

Each dental cleaning begins with a comprehensive oral examination to screen for gingivitis, periodontal disease, bleeding gums, and other potential concerns. If any issues are detected, your hygienist will consult with the dentist for further assessment.

Using specialised tools, we then remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from around your teeth and gumline – areas that daily brushing and flossing often miss.

This helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and staining. After thorough scaling and polishing, we apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities for months to come. Regular dental cleanings also form the foundation for any further hygiene or cosmetic dental treatments, ensuring optimal results and long-term oral health.

By keeping up with scheduled cleanings, you’re actively preventing gum disease and supporting early detection of more serious issues – protecting both your smile and your overall well-being.

Teeth Whitening

Brighten your smile safely and effectively with professional teeth whitening at The Cosmetic & Dental Emporium using the trusted Philips Zoom whitening system. This advanced, in-office treatment is designed to lift even the most stubborn stains and discolouration caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or natural aging – delivering dramatic, noticeably whiter results in just one session.

Philips Zoom teeth whitening works through a powerful yet gentle hydrogen peroxide-based gel, which is activated by a specialised LED light. The light accelerates the whitening process, allowing the active ingredients to break down stains deep within the tooth enamel while protecting the tooth structure. The treatment is carefully monitored by our dental professionals to ensure your safety and comfort throughout, making it a reliable and highly effective option for patients seeking fast, professional-grade results.

At The CDE, we tailor each whitening session to suit your specific needs and desired shade. We understand that every smile is unique, which is why we customise the concentration and duration of the treatment to maximise results while minimising sensitivity. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, and we also offer post-treatment care recommendations to help maintain your newly brightened smile for as long as possible.

Whether you’re preparing for a special event, refreshing your look, or simply want a confidence boost, Philips Zoom whitening at The Cosmetic & Dental Emporium offers a safe, efficient, and beautifully natural-looking way to enhance your smile in just one visit.

Disclose

We will make the biofilm visible. You will be able to see the problematic areas that we would need to address. The disclosing agent will guide the biofilm removal. Once the biofilm is removed, calculus andd caries is easier to detect.
