Hygiene

A Deep Clean for Your Smile

You’ve probably been brushing your teeth for as long as you can remember. But bacteria can still escape your valiant hygiene efforts — even with the best brushing habits.

Sometimes, plaque buildup can harden, leaving noticeable areas of tartar along the edges of your teeth.

Tartar doesn’t just affect your appearance. This hardened bacteria irritates your gums, increasing the risk of gingivitis and tooth decay. Because brushing alone won’t break down tartar, its presence constantly threatens your smile’s health.

Deep professional cleaning safely removes tartar, leaving your teeth looking brighter and reducing the harm it can do.

The hygienist was very thorough in making certain I understood what was going to happen during the appointment. The treatment was straightforward and I received advisory briefs for looking after my gums.

Air Polishing Stain Removal

At Oak Lodge Dental Practice, we’re proud to offer air polishing stain removal, a highly effective professional hygiene treatment that refreshes and revitalises your smile.

Air polishing stain removal uses jets of compressed air, water, and fine powder to break down stains and tartar, leaving your teeth looking brighter and feeling smooth.

The painless process is brief and provides immediate results. This highly effective treatment is like a mini-jet wash for your smile and requires no anaesthetic.

More Than Just a Deep Clean

Visiting our experienced hygienist is more than just a chance to get your teeth cleaned. Although the air polishing stain removal treatment will help you maintain a fresh smile, the appointment is also an excellent opportunity to explore other aspects of your oral health.

We can discuss every aspect of your smile care, from the type of toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and mouthwash you use to the techniques you use to maximise their effectiveness. Your appointments are also a chance to learn more about how to make lifestyle changes to boost the health of your smile.

Although your hygiene appointment doesn’t replace your bi-annual dental checkups, our experienced hygienist can often spot the early signs of problems during your treatment. We may sometimes recommend certain actions to reverse an issue or further examination by one of our dentists.

I had Profhilo treatment with Dr Tercan. She explained the procedure fully, was gentle and put me at ease from the moment I walked in. My skin is glowing and l look refreshed. I’ll definitely be back!

Helen Breen

An all round excellent experience. Dr Tergan put me completely at ease and explained what she was doing throughout. The crown looks amazing!

James Torrance

I am the biggest baby when it comes to the dentist so having to have a filling is a bit of a stress for me. That being said Dr Tercan had the whole procedure as pleasant as possible. Explaining the process, being patient with me and doing what she could to help. Would recommend to absolutely everyone.

Lucie Mark

I’ve had a fairly complex on-going infection and root canal issue that required a fair amount of work, which came with a large amount of anxiety from me. From the moment I met Mr Patel he put me at total ease, Mr Patel explained my treatment plan in terms which I could easily understand, he explained the risks and was extremely reassuring, kind and patient with me before, during and following my treatment. The care and support I’ve received from Mr Patel, the nurses and the staff at Oak Lodge has been outstanding. Thank you for saving my tooth and looking after me so well during the process.

I see Dr Gurpreet Tiwana as my regular dentist and always get on v well. Earlier this month I saw Dr Minesh Patel for some specialist root canal treatment; he is honestly the nicest dentist I have ever had – shook my hand at the beginning and end of treatment, introduced himself, explained what he was going to do, all the way through treatment he checked whether I was ok and explained what he was going to do next etc, so so gentle and kind. I would totally recommend Oak Lodge Dental – the reception staff are always welcoming and very good at communication – overall an excellent dental practise.

Jamie O’Donnell

I just had a complex root canal surgery, which went very well. Minesh and Hannah were excellent, and took very good care of me. Minesh is very knowlegable and skilled, took time to explain the procedure to me in detail (both before and during the procedure), went to great lenghts on attention to detail and (hopefully) saved my tooth. I am very happy to recommend Minesh.

Margaret Dennis

I had an appointment on 11th October to discuss having an implant fitted. I was apprehensive, but I needn’t have been. Dr Gurman Sond was the kindest of people who made you feel very at ease. Everything was explained in detail as to what it all entailed. I had a CT scan to ensure all was ok to fit an implant. All my questions were answered. The lovely part is that I have no fears about going back for the procedure. Thank you so much.
