FAQs
We answer the most common questions, but if you need more help please get in touch with us.
Does it matter that I have sensitive teeth?
We use cutting edge ultrasonic devices with tips especially designed to minimise sensitivity during your treatment.
Sensitivity is a common issue in patients of all ages, and all hygienist treatments can be associated with sensitivity.
We have learnt useful techniques to minimise this however such as increasing the temperature of the water and offering local anaesthetic.
If sensitivity is a significant issue, we will recommend seeking treatment by one of our dentists.
Where there is significant gum disease and recession, we can refer you to our own gum disease dentists, who are able to offer the full range of surgical gum treatment.
If I have my own dentist, can I visit you for my Hygienist treatment only?
Yes you can, but you would need to get your dentist to provide you with a referral letter prescribing the specific hygienist treatment.
We find most other dentists are unwilling to offer this service however, and many patients start seeing our dentists for their yearly check up (£25 plus the cost of x-rays).
Is there a discount for seeing us regularly for hygiene?
Yes, there is! Patients who need a scale and polish and attend more regularly (3 monthly), are offered Scale and Polishes at a discounted rate of £45 instead of £65.
