New Patient Hygiene Appointment
(£174 lasting approx. 60 minutes)
A full mouth assessment of your teeth and gums for signs of disease and wear. These assessments will include oral cancer screening, recording inflammation/pocketing, tooth mobility, recession, bruxism (grinding wear marks), abrasion, erosion, potential diet issues and shade monitoring. We will also measure how much plaque and calculus (harden plaque) you have on your teeth and under the gums.
Plaque and calculus deposits will be carefully removed, as well as stains, using our Piezon Ultrasonic Scaler, followed by a gentle hand scale. Scaling is a procedure that meticulously removes contamination, toxins, micro-organisms, plaque and calculus that has permeated around and below the gum-line in order to obtain healthy gums. Then we will polish all your teeth leaving them silky smooth and clean with a prophy cup or Airflow technology.
We will discuss your gum condition and advise you on the best course of treatment needed, educate how to maintain healthy teeth and gums and advise when you should return for a maintenance visit in order to maintain optimal oral health.
And of course if any other dental treatment is required, we will refer you to the best specialists in London.
