Hygiene therapy in Collingham

We use the latest technologies & methods

Keeping your mouth clean & healthy

We have invested in the most current and gold-standard method of tooth cleaning, Guided Biofilm Therapy.

Good oral hygiene is fundamental to healthy teeth and gums, and routine visits to the dental hygienist are equally as important as regular check-ups with your dentist.

Hygiene therapy involves a thorough assessment of the health of your teeth and gums and gently removing any stubborn plaque and tartar build-up around the teeth and below the gum line that simple brushing alone cannot always remove.

Plaque and tartar are the enemies of teeth, and if left to their own devices, they can cause significant problems associated with tooth decay and gum disease.

Airflow Therapy – Guided Biofilm Therapy

It is the systematic, predictable solution for dental biofilm management in professional prophylaxis using state-of-the-art AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies. It is proven by scientific evidence and consists of treatment protocols based on individual patient diagnosis and risk assessment to achieve optimal results. The treatment is given in the least invasive way, with the highest level of comfort, safety, and efficiency.

AIR-FLOW® BRIGHTENING removes stains and discolouration caused by drinking red wine, tea, coffee, and smoking. This innovative technique also removes plaque to restore a natural smile.

The AIR-FLOW® method uses a machine to clean and polish teeth with water, compressed air, and fine powder particles. It is believed to be superior to traditional scale and polish treatments at removing the damaging biofilm that develops when dental plaque is colonised by bacteria while leaving the surface of your teeth intact. The innovative spray technology can access all those hard-to-reach areas that traditional scaling cannot.
