Professional teeth cleaning in Lviv

Price ballpark in the calculator ≈ UAH 2,350 (confirmed at the exam). Clinic in Novyi Lviv, 10 Sumska St.
Professional hygiene is not “just a cleaning”. The dentist removes hard and soft deposits where a brush cannot reach, polishes enamel, and shows how to care at home so the result lasts longer. We explain calmly, without pressure: first the status and plan, then the procedure.
Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or a substitute for a dental exam. Indications, contraindications and procedure scope are set individually after an examination (and imaging when needed). For acute pain, facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop, call +380 68 232 38 38 — do not wait for an online slot.
Why hygiene at Dental Story
Ultrasound + KaVo PROPHYflex
Hard deposits with an ultrasonic scaler; soft plaque and stain with the KaVo PROPHYflex air polisher — no rough scraping.
More comfortable for sensitive gums
We match ultrasound and air-polishing intensity to your sensitivity; local anaesthesia when needed. Feelings vary — we do not promise a total absence of discomfort.
Cavity and inflammation prevention
Regular hygiene lowers the risk of cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath.
Home-care plan
We show brushing technique and pick products for your case — not a generic flyer.
Who especially benefits from booking
- Gums bleed when brushing or you notice bad breath — start with an exam and hygiene; more in the guide: bleeding gums guide
- It has been a long time since the dentist and you want a clear start without a “scary plan at once”
- You wear braces, aligners, or have implants — plaque builds faster around appliances
- You are preparing for whitening — clean enamel first, then tone assessment: whitening
- A dentist already mentioned gum inflammation — sometimes deeper periodontal hygiene is needed: periodontology
This is not a diagnosis or a list of “mandatory” procedures. The dentist sets the exact scope and interval after the exam.
When the protocol is changed or deferred
Tell the dentist before we start if you have:
- acute inflammation or infection in the mouth;
- high enamel sensitivity / erosion;
- asthma or bronchitis (important for air polishing);
- a pacemaker;
- pregnancy or lactation;
- allergy to powder / air-polisher components.
Often it is enough to adjust the scope, instruments, or postpone the visit — that is normal care, not a refusal of help.

Hygiene FAQ
How often do I need a professional cleaning?
Most patients — twice a year. With braces, implants, or heavy tartar, the dentist may suggest more often.
Does clinic cleaning hurt?
You usually feel vibration and cool water. With sensitive gums we work softer or with anaesthesia.
Does hygiene replace whitening?
No. Cleaning removes plaque and restores your natural enamel shade. For a lighter tone, plan whitening after hygiene: whitening
How long is the visit?
Usually 45–60 minutes depending on deposits.
Can I clean during pregnancy?
Yes — professional hygiene during pregnancy is often desirable because gums inflame more easily. Please tell us about the pregnancy and approximate term already when booking — it affects the protocol and whether imaging is needed. The dentist chooses a safe scope.
Is it safe with implants and fillings?
Yes. We clean implants and quality restorations with material access in mind. Tell us where implants or large restorations are — we adapt instruments. If there is inflammation around an implant, the dentist may suggest a separate protocol or periodontology: periodontology
What is Air Flow / air polishing for?
Air polishing is an air–water–powder clean that washes soft plaque and stain from enamel without rough scraping. At Dental Story we use a KaVo PROPHYflex handpiece for this step. We combine it with ultrasound when hard deposits must go. It is part of professional hygiene — not a stand-alone whitening treatment and not a substitute for treating cavities or gum disease.
What to eat and drink after air polishing?
For a few hours, avoid strongly pigmenting drinks and foods (coffee, tea, red wine, berries, sauces with dyes) and smoking — so pigment does not return right away. The clinician will give exact guidance after the visit based on your sensitivity.
How much does professional hygiene cost?
Professional hygiene guide price ≈ UAH 2,350. The final amount depends on deposits and gum condition — we name it before starting. If you only need an exam and plan talk — consultation ≈ UAH 750.
