The patient is cared for from A to Z by an oral hygienist. We look into the patient’s situation from the very first meeting – discussing the steps to be taken and the use of additional tools both before and during the procedure. In case of a complex oral situation, we draw up an individual treatment plan. At the end of the procedure, we advise on oral care, potential diseases and self-care measures, and make recommendations on the future course of dental treatment.

We use 10x magnification optics for professional oral hygiene treatments (conventional devices only magnify twice or not at all) with additional illumination. The use of optics in professional oral hygiene allows you to see details of the tooth and surrounding tissues that are invisible to the naked eye. This technology allows us to be precision accurate. If necessary, we use the latest generation of lasers, which can be used to shorten the procedure time or even the number of visits (thanks to the laser, teeth whitening can be performed immediately after the oral hygiene procedure). We pride ourselves on our cosy clinic environment, the expertise of our specialists and our innovative equipment, so we can guarantee a flawless result.

Periodic professional oral hygiene is about prevention and disease risk reduction. It is always needed before other dental procedures: periodontal surgery; caries treatment; teeth whitening; dentures; dental implants; orthodontic treatment; aesthetic fillings, etc. There are cases where professional oral hygiene is also recommended by other medical professionals – before heart, eye and vascular surgery to reduce the risk of infection.

The need for a professional oral hygiene procedure depends on the patient’s personal oral hygiene quality, diet and harmful habits.The frequency of the procedure is also influenced by the patient’s innate characteristics (e.g. the spontaneous accumulation of plaque, tartar) and other dental procedures. We recommend that patients visit us 1-3 times a year as a rule. The dentist makes specific recommendations for the frequency of visits for each patient at the time of the visit.

There is no set age for oral hygiene, but usually during preventive check-ups, the specialist assesses the need and makes recommendations.

No special preparation is needed for the oral hygiene procedure. Ideally, you should have eaten and drunk enough before the procedure. After the treatment, you will need to avoid food for at least 2 hours and refrain from bright and coloured food and drinks for the rest of the day. We’ll remind you of all this right after the procedure.

The procedure is not painful. Usually, the patient does not feel the pain or it is tolerated. It is true that pain tolerance is an individual characteristic, depending on the level of sensitivity. Local anaesthesia can be used if needed – the quality of the procedure is not affected by pain relief.

There are more complex cases, where a full oral hygiene procedure requires two or even three or four visits. However, there are also cases where the patient has a good brushing at home and just needs to polish their teeth. Precise polishing

After the procedure, your teeth may become more sensitive and your gums may bleed slightly. There are times when, for one reason or another, the procedure is very complicated and takes longer than usual. In such cases, the oral hygienist gives the patient individual advice on how to proceed after the procedure and possible ways to relieve the mild pain.
