Walk In Dental Hygiene

After recent changes to the rules, direct access to the dental hygienist is now possible. What does this mean? Well, the main differences are:

1. There is no need to be referred by a dentist to see the hygienist.

2. You can simply call the practice, even as a new patient, to book an appointment with our hygienist.

3. Follow up dental hygiene visits can be booked directly without a dental examination.

It is still essential, in our opinion, to see the dentist at least once a year for your dental examinations and risk assessments. Working together as a team, will reduce your risk of developing dental disease. After all, prevention is better than cure! To book with our hygienist directly call us on 0207 7311162 or e mail us on info@progressivedentistry.co.uk.

Appointments are available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and selected Saturdays.

Dental implants to replace missing back teeth and improve the bite

Replacing missing back teeth is essential. The molar teeth are designed for mastication i.e chewing . Without molars, it is far harder to break down foods for ease of swallowing. This essentially means that the diet will be one of soft foods only and eating will take much longer. This would not be a great look at a New Years eve dinner party! Our front teeth are created for incising food i.e cutting. If the teeth in front of the molars are overloaded with excessive force then further problems will result su… CONTINUE READING
