Experience the benefits of exceptional dental hygiene with our 5 star practice. Our skilled team can help support you on your journey to better oral health. Whether you are preparing for treatment, or just want to keep your oral health in check, we can help.
A trip to the oral hygienist is about more than just getting an exceptionally deep clean. You'll also benefit from expert advice that is tailored to you. Every mouth is different, and your oral hygiene needs could be very different. We can show you how to care for your teeth and gums in the right way, and update this advice as you get older.
Our dental hygienists are also incredibly knowledgeable about cosmetic and restorative procedures. If you're curious about other treatment options with us, a dental hygiene appointment is the ideal opportunity to ask questions and learn more. They can also help you care for your teeth after procedures. This is particularly important for procedures like bridges or dental implants, where the aftercare will be unique to your situation.

Scale and polish
A professional dentist cleaning removes all traces of plaque, tartar and bacteria build-up.
Oral cancer screening
We’ll look for the common signs of oral cancer at every checkup, so we can help to catch it early.

Here’s what to expect
Curious about the treatment journey and what is included? Here’s what you can expect when you choose The Implants and Cosmetic Smiles Clinic as your treatment provider.
We recommend visiting the dental hygienist every 6-12 months to ensure your mouth is thoroughly cleaned. We also recommend a cleaning before cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers and dental implants.
We’ll customise the dental hygienist appointment to your needs. While some people need a more extensive cleaning, others require less intensive interventions. A scale and polish will help to remove all traces or plaque and tartar from between the teeth and below the gum line.
We encourage you to ask questions about your oral health so you can make the most of your time with the dental hygienist. They can offer advice and support on caring for your teeth at home, brushing advice, and even advice on other cosmetic treatments you might be considering.
Wondering about the cost of treatment?
With interest-free financing available on most treatments, you can spread the cost of dental care into affordable monthly payments. Access the treatments you want without delay thanks to our flexible payment terms.

To enjoy optimum oral health, we recommend visiting the dental hygienist every 6-12 months. Alternating with dentist check ups can help to ensure small problems aren’t left to become much larger problems.
You can be referred to a dental hygienist for a scale and polish, but this will be limited to situations where it is clinically necessary. For a longer appointment and more bespoke patient care, we recommend choosing a private dental hygienist appointment.
A scale and polish from the Implant & Cosmetic Smiles Clinic starts at just £65. If you choose NHS treatment, this will be considered a band 2 treatment.
No, we offer direct access dental hygienist appointments, which means you can book directly without a referral. We recommend alternating between a dental checkup and a dental hygienist visit to help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Don’t just take our word for it.
