Prophylaxis & Teeth Cleaning

Regular dental hygiene is one of the most important steps for healthy teeth and gums. At Dental11 Zurich, we support you with careful, gentle, and individually tailored prophylaxis treatments that help reduce cavities, gingivitis, and long-term oral problems.

Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and deposits that cannot be completely removed by daily brushing. This creates the optimal foundation for a clean, fresh feeling and stable oral health – ideal for patients from Zurich Enge, Sihlcity, and the surrounding area.
