Treatment
Dental Hygiene
Thorough cleaning and gum care from our dental hygienist, with tips that actually fit your routine.
Overview
Healthy gums are the base for healthy teeth. Our hygienist removes plaque and tartar that brushing cannot reach and monitors the condition of your gums.
Just as important is the coaching: small, realistic adjustments to how you clean at home often make the biggest difference.
Who this treatment is for
- Patients with bleeding or sensitive gums
- Anyone who has not had a professional cleaning recently
- People with braces, implants or crowns
- Patients who want to keep staining under control
What to expect
A hygiene appointment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Let us know if your teeth are sensitive — we adjust the approach and take breaks whenever you need one.
