- Patients who haven’t seen a dentist recently
- People with stained teeth

- Anyone wanting a cleaner, fresher smile
What to Expect at Your Appointment
- We give you 45 minutes of clinical time
- You will receive a thorough oral assessment
- We will use an interoral camera, and you will be able to see on the screen the issues Sophie will address with your teeth
- Scale and polish therapy
- You will also receive an oral education lesson on how best to look after your smile

Direct Access Hygienist vs Traditional Dental Appointment
Direct access hygiene appointments allow you to see a hygienist without first attending a dental examination. This can be ideal if you're looking for professional cleaning, stain removal, gum care or oral hygiene advice.
If the hygienist identifies any issues requiring diagnosis or treatment, a referral to a dentist can be arranged. This gives patients fast access to preventative care while ensuring any concerns receive the appropriate clinical attention.

Visited this morning for a scale and air flow polish.
Sophie is professional, friendly and gives great advice. I never feel any pain during or after the treatment. My teeth look great, instant, noticeable results. Thank you.
Booked online at 9pm, seen at 9am the next morning.
The Airflow clean was excellent — teeth feel and look the best they have in years.
Staff were all amazing, friendly and professional. Highly recommend.
