Our hygiene appointments in Staines include Fresh (£82), Clean & Fresh with AIR-FLOW® stain removal (£130) and New Patient Double Fresh (£164). Each includes a gum health check and oral hygiene advice as required.
Healthy teeth & gums
Fresh
Designed to maintain your current gum health, with an ultrasonic clean and polish. Ideal for regular attendees with hygiene visits every 3 to 4 months.
Clean and Fresh
Upgrade with AIR-FLOW®, a high-powered air-jet system that blasts away stubborn stains using air and bicarbonate powder.
New Patient Double Fresh
Our most extensive hygiene service, with an extended ultrasonic clean and polish. Ideal if you haven't had a hygiene visit in 12 months or more.
Prevention first
Each visit includes a gum health check and oral hygiene advice as required. We prefer to prevent problems rather than simply fix them.
We recommend regular dental visits for examinations and hygiene treatments to ensure your mouth, teeth, and gums remain in great condition.
Our high-quality hygiene treatments include cleaning, gum care, scaling, and polishing.
The hygiene team at Thorpe Lea Dental is specially trained to make your smile sparkle, and our range of hygiene services will help keep your gums healthier and your teeth brighter. When it comes to our teeth, debris, plaque, and dull teeth are the epitome of poor health. Healthy teeth are spotlessly clean and shiny.
Stain free
Regular hygiene therapy is essential for healthy teeth and gums and to keep your smile looking fresh and clean.
But it doesn’t remove all of the stains caused by consuming tea, coffee, red wine and curries, and by smoking.
Certain medications can also affect the colour of our teeth, as can the ageing process. Whatever the reason, stained teeth can appear unhealthy, even if they are actually strong and dentally sound.
Upgrade your classic hygiene clean to include Airflow for improved stain removal and a professionally cleaned feel.

Dental Hygienist questions
Why is dental hygiene important?
Good dental hygiene prevents cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while supporting overall oral and general health. Regular professional cleanings also help maintain a healthy smile.
How often should I have my teeth professionally cleaned?
We recommend professional cleanings every six months. However, some individuals with specific conditions like gum disease may require more frequent visits.
What is the correct way to brush and floss my teeth?
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, brushing gently in circular motions for two minutes. Floss daily to remove plaque and food debris between teeth where a brush can’t reach.
