  • Plaque & calculus removal
  • Teeth surface cleaning and scaling
  • Gum examination to inspect changes in appearance
  • Oral hygiene advice, including improvement of brushing techniques, and denture care instructions.

We recommend following up your initial appointment after six months, so we can ensure you are staying healthy by assessing your teeth, fillings and gums.
