Removal of plaque and calculus, normally takes 45 minutes for both the arches. However, this may slightly increase incase you have a habit of eating pan masala. I prefer scaling and polishing in such cases. The complete procedure is totally painless, with minor sensitivity that is reverted back to normal in 3 to 4 days.
