Bright Smiles, Healthy Teeth: Elevate Your Dental Hygiene Today!

We strive to provide you the best dentistry possible and want you to enjoy the full benefits from this.
 
This is the reason why we put so much emphasis on hygiene and maintenance therapies. Maintaining good oral health prevents not just tooth decay, but also gum disease, staining and bad breath (halitosis). It goes beyond brushing your teeth twice a day. This is one of the most important services we believe we offer our patients that in the long term prevents the need for future treatments.
 

Beautiful, healthy-looking teeth start with a good oral hygiene routine.

Dental Hygiene

What is Dental Hygiene?

Your gums are the foundation of your teeth and are vital to their health, stability and longevity. Teeth will gradually build-up plaque and calculus over time. This plaque and calculus build-up can cause the following problems:

  • Bad breath
  • Gum disease
  • Gum recession
  • Tooth decay
  • Unsightly appearance
  • Bad taste

Once plaque hardens on the teeth and becomes calculus it isn’t possible to brush it off and you need a professional clean. Our dental therapists provide you with valuable advice on how to take care of your teeth and gums. We can teach you how to brush correctly and help you prevent gum disease.

Benefits Of Dental Hygiene

Prevents Tooth Decay

Brushing and flossing remove plaque, reducing the risk of cavities.

Prevents Gum Disease

Good oral hygiene helps prevent gingivitis and more serious gum infections like periodontitis.

Freshens Breath

Regular cleaning eliminates odor-causing bacteria, reducing bad breath (halitosis).

Maintains a Bright Smile

Brushing and professional cleanings help remove stains and keep teeth looking white.

Preserves Natural Teeth

Preventative care helps avoid tooth loss due to decay or gum disease.

Airflow Teeth Cleaning

The Airflow Process

Your GBT journey begins with a thorough assessment. Your dental hygiene therapist will examine your teeth and gums to detect any areas of concern, including plaque and biofilm buildup.

Using the latest Airflow® technology, your hygienist gently removes biofilm, stains, and soft deposits with a controlled spray of warm water, air, and fine powder particles. This process is minimally invasive and ideal for sensitive gums.

For hard-to-reach or deeper gum pockets, the Perioflow® nozzle precisely targets and removes biofilm without discomfort, ensuring every part of your smile is clean.

A Piezon® ultrasonic scaler is used to remove any remaining hardened plaque. This advanced tool targets only hardened deposits, preserving tooth structure and reducing discomfort.

In many cases, AIRFLOW® eliminates the need for additional polishing. However, if needed, your hygienist may do a quick polish to smooth any remaining rough surfaces.

Your hygienist will provide personalized oral hygiene advice, pointing out areas that may need more attention at home. This helps improve your brushing and flossing routine between visits.

After they cancelled my appointment I had waited months for (only an hour before I was meant to arrive), they had zero care and tried to reschedule it 2 months later, they had zero care for me as a new patient.

I'm probably the world's worst dental patient as I have an absolute phobia of being in the "chair" but Dr Lee put me at ease. Not only does he have the patience of a saint but he is professional, explains everything, he is honest and has a fabulous sense of humour!

I highly recommend Dr Lee and therefore have registered my children with him too.

Very friendly practice, helpful staff and Dentists.
Price is very reasonable for private dentistry but more importantly the chief dentist Lee, was able to give you comprehensive understanding of your problems and provide you range of potential treatment options, then offering his advice for the most suitable for you. His work seems excellent with a lot of care and I am very pleased to have chosen this dentist and confident my teeth will get better.
