Dental Hygiene

Professional cleaning and advice to maintain healthy teeth, gums, and fresh breath.

Overview

Dental Hygiene Therapy

Dental hygiene therapists are specially trained to work as an integral part of the dental team. Our dental hygiene therapists are able to carry out examinations, create treatment plans and directly treat patients including under prescription.

At Smile Together, you can make direct access hygiene therapy appointments without seeing the dentist first and many patients welcome this opportunity to talk to our friendly dental hygiene therapists about their oral health care.

Visit the Patient Hub

Of course, your dentist and dental hygiene therapist visits form only part of your journey to good oral health. Maintaining an effective oral health regime between appointments is just as important. Visit our Patient Hub to find out how to take good care of your oral health at home.

Notice
Please be aware that we will require a deposit when you book an appointment – this will be deducted from your bill for the relevant treatment at your next visit.

Booking an appointment

We understand that unexpected situations can arise, so your deposit will not be affected if you change your appointment with more than 24 hours’ notice. While we aim to be as flexible as possible, we reserve the right to retain your deposit for late cancellations or late arrivals that prevent us from seeing you. Short-notice cancellations make it difficult for us to offer care to other patients, increase waiting times, and raise the cost of running the surgery. We will, however, always consider personal circumstances.
