Hygiene Services​​

Our dedicated dental hygienist services offer a comprehensive approach to maintaining your oral health.
We begin with a meticulous scale and polish, which effectively removes hard, built-up plaque and tartar that regular brushing simply cannot eliminate.

For patients exhibiting early signs of gum disease, we provide root planning, a deep-cleaning procedure that helps reattach the gums to the teeth. Additionally, we offer tailored oral hygiene advice, covering essential tips on preventing plaque buildup through improved brushing techniques, flossing, tongue scraping, and dietary recommendations to avoid tooth decay.
Our services also include fluoride treatments, such as fissure sealants and fluoride varnishes.​

Air Polish

At Burnham Dental Practice, we are proud to offer our specialized air polishing service, which is designed to provide a thorough cleaning and polishing of your teeth using gentle yet effective cleaning agents. This innovative treatment plays a crucial role in preventing gum disease and dental caries, making it an essential part of your oral health routine.
 

Our air polishing service is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with discolored teeth, often caused by substances like tea, coffee, smoking, or red wine. 
Additionally, it effectively addresses plaque deposits and is perfect for cleaning fissures before sealing them with fissure sealant therapy. It is also an excellent choice for those with braces, as it prepares surfaces before bonding or removing adhesive residue. 

​

Furthermore, this service is recommended before receiving fillings, veneers, or inlays to ensure the best possible results and longevity of your dental work. It also helps in cleaning healthy teeth to achieve an accurate shade before creating bridges, crowns, inlays, and onlays. Lastly, for those considering teeth whitening, our air polishing service optimizes the effectiveness of the whitening process, leaving you with a brighter, healthier smile.

​This gentle method is suitable for all patients, including those with dental implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges, ensuring a healthy and radiant smile for everyone.
