You can brush perfectly and still miss it. 🪥

Plaque hardens in the places a toothbrush was never going to reach. That's not a reflection on your technique, it's just how mouths are shaped. Removing it is a job for a trained dental hygienist.

Here's what actually happens at a hygiene appointment:

1. Your teeth and gums are assessed, so we know how much plaque removal is needed and where your risk factors are 2. A professional clean with specialist equipment and pastes, scaling and polishing 3. Practical coaching on brushing technique, flossing and interdental brushes, so you can keep on top of it at home

It's preventive work, helping to treat gum disease and bad breath, reducing the risk of decay and fillings, and minimising the risk of tooth loss. You'll also leave with properly fresh breath.

Regular visits are what keep it working. Due one?

Straighter teeth aren't just about looks. 😁

Orthodontics gets thought of as a cosmetic treatment, and it does transform how a smile looks but the health argument is the stronger one. When teeth are properly aligned, there are fewer gaps for plaque to build up in over time. That's a genuine long-term investment in your oral health, not just your appearance.

Modern treatment is also a world away from what you might remember. The discipline has advanced over decades, and treatment today is considerably faster and more comfortable than it used to be.

What to expect:

📋 Impressions, photos and x-rays first, to determine the right course of action 🔧 Brackets bonded to the teeth, with wires that gently guide them into position over time 🪥 Good oral hygiene habits throughout plus regular visits for check-ups and adjustments 🔒 Fixed permanent retention at the end, so your teeth stay where they've been moved to

⭐ "Very professional dentist... offered practical and affordable solutions." — P.H, Google review

Coffee, tea, red wine, time. ☕ Teeth pick up staining from all of it.

If you've become self-conscious about the shade of your teeth, professional whitening is worth understanding properly, because it works quite differently from anything you'll find on a shop shelf.

How it works here:

1️⃣ We assess the type of staining you have, because not all discolouration responds the same way 2️⃣ A custom tray is made to fit snugly over your teeth 3️⃣ The whitening agent goes into that tray and transfers evenly onto the teeth

Prefer to go gradually? Home whitening kits are available too, with trays worn overnight for a slower change.

Two things worth being straight about: individual results vary depending on your starting tooth colour and the nature of your staining, which is exactly why the assessment comes first. And whitening should always be delivered by a dental professional. It's a regulated treatment for good reason.

Book an assessment and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable for your teeth.
