Why doesn't the dentist do the work?

Our hygienists have been specially trained to carry out scaling and polishing and can spend a longer time with you. They are also experts at teaching you how to look after your teeth and gums. Often the hygienist will spend a number of appointments getting the gums healthy ready for the dentist to restore the teeth with crowns and fillings. This rduces the price of treatments and improves availability and flexibility in booking times to suit you.
