Dr Bravis will conduct a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking closely for any signs of inflammation or infection that could silently impact your health. This examination allows us to identify and address issues that may compromise your health if left untreated.
If any issues are found, Dr Bravis will recommend appropriate treatments, such as fillings or root canals, to restore your oral health. We also recommend a hygienist appointment for deep cleaning and scaling to remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent gum disease.
Your check-up includes smile makeover planning, giving you the opportunity to explore cosmetic options like teeth whitening, veneers, composite bonding, or Invisalign to enhance your smile. A 3D Scan of your teeth will help us plan treatments with greater precision.

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.
