The best dental practice ever! And I speak with many decades of experience of less talented dentists. Dr Bravis is not only very skilled and well qualified, she is also gentle and engaging and never hurts and so I no longer dread visits to the dentist and am prepared to travel from central London. I’ve had two dental implants and my front teeth built up recently and all went very well. Andrea, the dental nurse, was very kind and reassuring when my jaw was being drilled and Tina on reception is very helpful and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

The whole team has been so friendly and approachable at every appointment and quick to respond to my queries. Dr Bravis has done a super job for me with my Invisalign treatment. She has always been honest about saying when I don’t need work done too which I feel is not always what happens in some private sectors. I value and trust her opinions.

I can’t recommend this dental practice highly enough. Dr Bravis and her team are ultra professional, polite and have immense knowledge of their profession. I have had a lot of dental problems over the years and I am delighted to say that I have finally achieved stability after having broken, painful teeth for so many years. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!

As Seen In

we’re here For all your questions

A dental check-up at Thames Dental and Skin Clinic involves a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Dr. Theodora Bravis will check for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues. The check-up also includes professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, ensuring your oral health is maintained at its best.

A dental hygienist provides professional teeth cleaning, including scaling and polishing, to remove plaque, tartar, and stains. They also offer advice on maintaining oral hygiene and help prevent gum disease and cavities.

How often should I visit a dental hygienist?
It’s typically recommended to see a hygienist every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other concerns, more frequent visits may be necessary to maintain optimal oral health.

What are the benefits of seeing a hygienist?
A hygienist helps maintain healthy gums, prevents tooth decay, and reduces the risk of bad breath. Regular cleanings also prevent plaque buildup and help maintain a brighter, cleaner smile.

Is a hygienist appointment painful?
For most patients, a hygienist appointment is not painful. You may experience mild discomfort if there is a significant buildup of plaque or tartar, but the treatment is generally gentle and comfortable.

Can a hygienist help with gum disease?
Yes, hygienists are trained to treat and prevent gum disease. They can help by thoroughly cleaning below the gum line, removing plaque and tartar, and providing advice on improving your oral hygiene to manage gum disease.

Regular dental check-ups are essential for:

  • Preventive Care: Early detection and treatment of dental issues such as cavities and gum disease.

 

  • Professional Cleaning: Removal of plaque and tartar to maintain oral hygiene and prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Hygienist Appointments can be booked in addition to your dental check-up. Please request this when you book.

 

  • Overall Health: Monitoring and maintaining good oral health, which is linked to your overall health and wellbeing.

The cost of a dental check-up at Thames Dental and Skin Clinic starts from £60. This includes a comprehensive examination and Smile Design advice.

Additional charges may apply for any necessary scans or X-rays, with two small X-rays costing £23.

We advise patients to also book in for a Hygienist appointment for a professional clean, scale and polish. This costs £72 and is advised to repeat every 6 months for optimal oral health.

It is recommended to have a dental check-up every six months. However, the frequency may vary based on individual needs and oral health conditions. Regular check-ups help in the early detection of issues, reducing the need for extensive treatments in the future.
