Scaling on replaced teeth
I recently got cleaning and polishing done for my teeth. The person at the clinic also did did it on my front incisor which i had replaced years ago ( Zirconia cap) and now that tooth has rough grooves which seem to be collecting more dirt and stains. When i went had gone for cleaning before this the other dentist had skipped scaling that tooth. What is the issue with my teeth and should the scaling have been done on my replaced tooth?

Not all dentist recommend scaling on capping but
If rough grooves were left after scaling, it’s possible that the cleaning process caused minor abrasions on the crown surface.
Polishing can be redone on rough surface.
