Dental hygiene

Our hygienist team at Envisage Dental have extensive experience in maintaining the oral health of patients throughout Portsmouth and Farlington and beyond. This can range from simple scaling and polish, to routine maintenance or more complex gum treatments.

We can help you design a bespoke oral hygiene plan to prevent recurring problems like staining, bad breath, gum disease, plaque build-up and more.

For patients undergoing dental implant treatment, our hygienists also help maintain your dental health from the beginning of implant treatment to the fitting of the final crowns and bridges.

Benefits of our hygienist care include:

  • Professional clean and tartar removal
    Plaque is a sticky bacterial coating that consistently forms on your teeth. If it is not brushed away properly, including difficult to reach areas like between the teeth, the plaque hardens to form tartar/calculus which cannot be removed so easily at home. Persistent plaque and calculus can lead to periodontal disease, causing bleeding gums, tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss.

    Your dental hygienist will perform an intensive clean on all accessible surfaces of the teeth to ensure any plaque and tartar build up is fully removed. If you have a lot of tooth decay, your hygienist may apply a fluoride gel to help protect the teeth from further attack.
  • Stain removal
    Drinking tea, coffee, red wine or fizzy drinks will gradually stain your teeth over time. Your hygienist will be able to clean these stains away using natural products like baking soda for a whiter smile. Our hygienists also use the innovative AirFlow system which uses air, sodium bicarbonate and water together to clean stains from your teeth.
  • Fresh breath
    A clean mouth means fresher breath!
  • Prevention of gum disease
    Early signs of gum disease include bleeding gums when brushing. Your hygienist will test for this and if they spot symptoms. With regular appointments, they will be able to help deal with this before the disease has the chance to progress. They may use anti bacteria gel and solutions to apply under the gum line to kill any bacteria causing gum disease. It is important to pay attention to these symptoms as if left untreated, gum disease can lead to the movement or even the loss of teeth.
  • Oral hygiene plan
    We will work with your individual needs to create a tailor made plan for optimum maintenance of your oral hygiene. This includes recommending the right products, different types of brushes and showing you the most effective ways to use them.
  • Dietary advice and smoking cessation
    The food we eat can affect our teeth, this could be through staining or acid erosion. If your diet has had a detrimental effect on your teeth, our hygienists can advise on changing your eating habits to prevent further harm. Smoking is also a big factor in causing periodontal disease, bone loss, oral cancer, reducing healing after dental work and staining of teeth. Your dental hygienist can also offer smoking cessation advise if required.

We recommend all Envisage Dental patients have regular hygiene treatments at least once to twice a year alongside your routine dental health reviews.

Rang up first thing that day, had chipped big back tooth while eating breakfast. Was given appointment for the Monday, but was surprised when reception rang me back to say a different dentist could fit me in later that day! A rare thing these days!

I have been attending this surgery for 30 years plus and have always received excellent care & attention from reception to dental nurses, hygienists and dentists. The costs have risen as expected over time but costs since envisage took over can be a little scary and often determine the decisions taken on treatment I must mention how great the reception team is and always have been. I must also mention the Rodica & Jem team, they are absolutely fantastic and explain everything they are doing and planning and take as much time as needed to treat and talk me through everything.

2nd April 2025

The reception team are always very friendly and welcoming.The dentist and dental nurse are also friendly, kind and efficient.

Taken on time for my appointment. Staff friendly. Just a shame they converted the upstairs waiting area into an office as up and down stairs for dentist and hygienist appointments. Wouldn’t be great if you had mobility issues!
