Hygienist

Gil Le Grys is our hygienist.  She has years of private hygiene experience in Harley Street and dental practices north of London.  Normal working days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Our standard private dental hygiene appointments are 30 minutes, during which you will receive dental hygiene advice and a comprehensive plaque removal, disruption of the biofilm, clean and polish, or even have a teeth whitening customised kit made as referred by a dentist.  Sometimes a little extra time will be needed to register and take medical history for a new patient (the initial visit for a direct-access patient is 40 minutes and similarly for new dentist patients).

Please be aware that our dental practice can only carry out aerosol generating procedures (AGP, drilling/ultrasonic cleaning) in line with Chief Dental Officer recommendations.

After much consideration we now offer EMS AIRFLOW®  to all private patients.  These new tooth/appliance cleaning treatments are a minimum of 30 minutes.  When there is heavy tooth staining and significant hard calculus, more time will be needed.

Appointments normally require a financial deposit.  Should you fail to attend, or cancel within 24 working hours of the appointment, you will be charged a fee (see private price guide).

Please be aware that all our clinical professionals work to the GDC Scope of Practice.  A dental hygienist can look after the exterior of your teeth and gums. Dental hygienists are unable to diagnose tooth decay, they cannot fill or extract teeth or write prescriptions and do a full examination that only a dentist can.
