What is our Process?
FAQs
How often should I see the hygienist?
We recommend every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. However, if you have specific issues or concerns, you might need to visit more frequently. Your hygienist will help determine the best schedule for you.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Not usually! You might feel a bit of pressure during the cleaning, but it’s generally painless. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know so we can adjust the treatment to keep you comfortable.
What happens if I don’t get regular cleanings?
Skipping regular cleanings can lead to plaque build-up, tartar formation, and even gum disease. Regular visits help prevent these issues and keep your smile healthy and bright.
Can the hygienist fix cavities or perform other dental treatments?
While the hygienist focuses on cleaning and gum care, any cavity treatment or more complex procedures will be handled by our skilled dentists. The hygienist and dentist work together to ensure your oral health is in top shape.
Will my teeth be sensitive after a cleaning?
Some people experience mild sensitivity after a cleaning, but it’s usually temporary. If you have concerns about sensitivity, let us know, and we’ll take steps to minimise it.
