Help get over your fear of the dentist.

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.

Con­tact the clinic

What is includ­ed in a hygien­ist visit?

Every den­tal hygien­ist vis­it is unique to each patient. We start with your needs and con­cerns so we can tai­lor your vis­it to your require­ments. In gen­er­al, a vis­it to the den­tal hygien­ist will include a scale and pol­ish, but we can also sup­port you in the fol­low­ing ways.

Thor­ough examination

We’ll start with a his­to­ry and exam so we can learn more about your cur­rent oral health.

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.

Air­flow cleaning

This spe­cial­ist clean­ing device helps to remove sur­face stains with­out touch­ing your teeth.

Home care advice

We’ll ask you ques­tions about your brush­ing habits and offer advice on how to improve.

Ask ques­tions

This is an ide­al oppor­tu­ni­ty to ask ques­tions about your oral health or oth­er treatments.

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.

Fre­quent­ly asked questions

We’ve answered the most com­mon patient ques­tions below. If you still have ques­tions about your den­tal treat­ment, get in touch to book a consultation. 

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.

  • A Radiant Ode to Smiles Sublime, When first I ventured through your gilded door, My teeth, alas, were dull, their gleam no more. A shy façade, my grin did shyly hide, Yet through your art, my joy was amplified. Oh, clinic of splendour! A dental retreat, Where science and artistry seamlessly meet. Your staff, so erudite, yet charmingly spry, Transforming molars with a glimmering eye. Each visit began with such cordial delight, Receptionists chirping like birds at first light. Their bonhomie contagious, their manners pristine, A convivial welcome to this dental scene. The consultation? Oh, a masterclass grand! With mirrors and models and gestures so planned. Each treatment explained with meticulous care, A symphony sung in a reclining chair. And what of the dentists? Let me effuse! With prowess unmatched, they skilfully choose The tools of their trade, both precise and arcane, Crafting smiles worthy of global acclaim. They work with finesse, a meticulous flair, Replacing my scepticism with love and repair. Needles? A trifle! Their touch so adroit, I barely noticed nay, I almost rejoiced! Implants and veneers? A masterstroke true, Like sculptors of yore, they painstakingly drew A vision of beauty, proportion, and grace— Artistry etched upon each smiling face. And oh, how the banter did brighten my day! The jocular quips kept my fears at bay. "Your smile’s so puerile!" one wittily said, And we laughed till my cheeks blushed a rosy red. The ambience too deserves its own verse, With décor so chic, I can’t help but rehearse My praise for the lighting, the scents in the air, And the calming playlist—beyond compare! Post-appointment, the care didn’t wane, Follow-ups aplenty, no detail too plain. Advice on flossing? A thorough cascade, Ensuring my newfound smile won’t fade. Oh, cosmetic clinic, so resplendent, so fine, You’ve not just enhanced this dear smile of mine. You’ve gifted me confidence, radiant and true, A testament owed entirely to you. To those seeking brilliance, let this be a sign— Entrust your teeth to these artists divine! For a smile is a treasure, a gift to beguile, And thanks to you all, I wear mine with style. So, here’s my ovation, my jubilant cheer, To the clinic that’s banished my dental despair. A toast to perfection, to service supreme, To the purveyors of smiles that endlessly gleam.

  • 100% 5 stars, very professional, Dr Zaid Chowdry and his wonderful team put me at ease, and took their time in explaining the process, always very friendly, and I'm extremely happy with the end result

  • Very professional service and exceptional results. Worked with Aryan whose attention to details and work ethic is second to none. Roxana and Sam were very efficient, kind and caring, always with a smile on their faces, making your dentist visit more pleasant. Big shout to Kirsty at the reception who, at times, I felt was acting as my PA making sure I am notified of my appointments in a manner that suits me (either call, message or emails) and ensuring that invoicing is transparent and I know what to expect and when. The culture of this place is like a family, so kudos to the partners, and this translates well to the way they treat their patients - an extension of their family.

  • Seen Hygienist Charlene last week. She explained everything before starting and gave great advice. She did an exceptional job on teeth and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

  • My teeth were in a terrible state, and I'd had previous ordeals with dentists, so I was very needy and anxious when I chanced upon Dr Zahid Chowdhry. 9 months later, my smile and confidence have been restored. I have felt totally included and fully supported in every step of the journey by the whole team. So, Thank you for changing my life. I'm actually excited about returning in the new year to continue what we've started.

  • These guys are amazing. I had a long program of work which was all spelt out and scheduled. Every step was explained and nothing was too much for them. The nurses are brilliant and Dr Bakhshi was awesome, your welfare is his absolute priority. Thank you for taking good care of my mouth :)

  • After trying three other dentists, I chose Implant & Cosmetics Smiles after seeing Dr Azhar Bakhshi and his team. They are all so friendly and you feel you are a priority to them. You walk in and they greet you with a smile. I was given a free consultation and a recommended course of treatments to resolve my teeth issues. Dr Azhar Bakhshi and his team make you feel comfortable and give you the confidence that any dentistry needs will be addressed professionally. They are all kind, patient and dedicated. Dr Azhar Bakhshi has skilfully resolved my cross bite with satisfaction. I had 8 implants fitted and I can honestly say that he is the best dentist I ever had. At all times I was treated with respect and advised of all procedures before starting and I felt safe and comfortable in the dentist’s hands. Thank you for the amazing work you have done on my teeth. I am absolutely delighted with the end result. I can smile with confidence and I am really happy with my teeth now

  • The service and treatment throughout by Dr Zahid Chowdhry and his team was excellent. The initial free of charge appointment to assess my needs was a bonus and Dr Chowdhry's friendly manner and easy to understand details of the treatment at each stage was excellent. I am very happy with the front tooth implant and I thoroughly recommend this Smile Clinic. Christine West
