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.

Replacing lower premolar and molar teeth - what is the best solution?

Losing a tooth in the back of your mouth can feel frustrating. The lower premolars and molars—the teeth you use most for chewing—are especially important for eating, speaking, and keeping your smile healthy. When one of these teeth is lost due to decay, gum disease, or injury, it’s natural to wonder what the best replacement option might be. While removable dentures and bridges may be an option , we generally recommend dental implants for replacing premolars and molars, especially in the lower jaw. Implants… CONTINUE READING
