Professional Dental Cleaning — Dortmund, NRW
Professional Dental Cleaning (PZR) in Dortmund
Thorough prophylaxis for healthy teeth — Airflow, ultrasonic and individual advice
Prevention is the best treatment
Professional dental cleaning (PZR) is the foundation of healthy teeth and healthy gums. It removes tartar, bacterial deposits, and stains in areas that home dental care cannot reach. Regular professional cleaning significantly reduces the risk of cavities and periodontitis.
What happens during a PZR?
Assessment
Evaluation of current oral hygiene status, identification of problem areas and signs of inflammation.
Tartar removal
Removal of tartar and hard deposits with ultrasonic and hand instruments — gentle and thorough.
Deposit removal
Removal of soft deposits and stains with Airflow technology (powder jet device) — particularly gentle.
Polishing
Smoothing of all tooth surfaces so that new deposits accumulate less easily.
Fluoridation & advice
Application of fluoride varnish to protect tooth enamel and individual oral hygiene advice.
How often should I get a PZR?
For most patients, we recommend a professional dental cleaning every 6 months. Patients with periodontitis or an increased caries risk benefit from shorter intervals (every 3 to 4 months). We determine your individual recall interval together.
Costs and insurance
PZR is a private service. Costs range from 80 to 150 euros depending on effort. Many statutory health insurers subsidize PZR with 10 to 80 euros per year — check with your insurer. Regular PZR appointments are documented in the bonus booklet (Bonusheft) and can lead to higher fixed subsidies for later dental prosthetics.
Why choose us?
Modern devices such as Airflow and ultrasonic ensure a thorough yet gentle cleaning. We take time for individual oral hygiene advice and set up a personal recall system for you so that no appointment is forgotten.
