Why Do I Need A Dental Hygiene Appointment? 

Regular dental cleanings with a dentist, therapist, or hygienist are an important part of keeping your smile happy and healthy. Even if you have an excellent oral hygiene routine at home and you remember to use mouthwash, floss, and brush every day twice a day, plaque can still build up underneath the gum line. This plaque cannot be removed with your toothbrush at home, and needs the attention of a dental professional using specialist tools. 

Regular professional dental cleanings help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay, but they also help combat surface stains caused by everyday activities like drinking coffee, leaving you with a whiter smile! 

At Synergy, we offer a range of different levels of cleaning, from a simple plaque removing scale treatment, to advanced Oxyjet stain removal, and special cleaning procedures for dental implants. 

• Scale treatments involve a dentist cleaning underneath the gum line to remove plaque build up. 

• Our Implant Clean treatments are specially designed for patients with dental implants to remove plaque build up around the implant site. Regular cleanings of your dental implants are vital to maintain your warranty. 

• Our Professional Clean treatments include a scale, but also a polish with an ultrasound scraper to remove light staining. 
• Our Oxyjet Clean procedures include a scale treatment and ultrasound polish treatment, with the addition of a course of Oxyjet airflow treatment. Using high pressure water and non-abrasive fine particles, this cleaning treatment is designed to remove old and stubborn stains or spots of hard calculus.
• Our Prestige Clean treatments include a package of all our cleaning treatments, saving you money compared to purchasing each one alone. This is the best treatment to lessen the appearance of stains from coffee, alcohol, and tobacco, helping you get your teeth sparkling – giving you a reason to smile! 

If you’re not sure what treatment is best for you, your dentist can guide you and help you make a decision.
