Gentle, personalised dental hygiene care in Pontesbury Village
Dental hygienist
A good clean shouldn't feel rushed or clinical. Our friendly dental hygienists take their time, so you leave with healthier gums and a brighter smile.
Private teeth cleaning in the centre of Pontesbury
Even with a solid brushing routine, plaque and tartar can build up in places a toothbrush just won't reach. That's where a professional teeth cleaning makes all the difference. Seeing our hygienists regularly helps to prevent gum disease and maintains your oral health. Every scale and polish appointment is tailored around what your teeth actually need, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
What can I expect during my teeth cleaning?
Your appointment starts with your hygienist checking your gum health and looking out for any inflammation or bleeding. From there, they'll perform a scale and polish, working carefully above and below the gumline to clear away built-up tartar and lift away surface staining, so your teeth feel smooth and fresh. Before you leave, you'll also get tailored advice on keeping on top of your dental hygiene at home.
How much does a dental hygiene appointment cost?
As a private dental practice, we're able to give more time and attention to your dental hygiene, in a relaxed environment where you're never made to feel rushed.
Join one of our pay-monthly membership plans and your hygiene visits are covered for the year, alongside regular check-ups and treatment discounts. We also maintain up-to-date pricing guidelines on our pricing page, so you can get a clear idea of costs before you even pick up the phone.

Do I need to see a hygienist?
If your gums bleed when you brush, or you've noticed tartar building up along your gumline, a hygiene appointment can help. Even if everything feels fine, it's worth remembering that early gum disease often shows no obvious symptoms, so regular professional teeth cleaning makes it easier to catch problems early, when they're much simpler to manage and treat.
