Your Treatment Journey
Before your appointment, you can speak with our friendly treatment coordinator, who will explain your options and answer any questions you may have.
Step 1 – Consultation
Your hygienist will check your gums, measure pocket depths if gum disease is suspected, and identify any problem areas. We’ll also discuss your daily oral care routine and give tips tailored to you.
Step 2 – Treatment Appointment
Your hygienist will use gentle scaling to remove plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth and below the gumline. For a sparkling finish, airflow polishing uses a fine jet of water, air, and powder to remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling incredibly smooth. If gum disease is present, deeper cleaning may be carried out over multiple visits, sometimes with a local anaesthetic for comfort.
