Dental hygiene

Our hygienist team at Envisage Dental Ferndown have extensive experience in maintaining the oral health of patients throughout Ferndown and beyond. This can range from simple scaling and polish, to routine maintenance or more complex gum treatments.

We can help you design a bespoke oral hygiene plan to prevent recurring problems like staining, bad breath, gum disease, plaque build-up and more.

For patients undergoing dental implant treatment, our hygienists also help maintain your dental health from the beginning of implant treatment to the fitting of the final crowns and bridges.

Benefits of our hygienist care include:

  • Professional clean and tartar removal
    Plaque is a sticky bacterial coating that consistently forms on your teeth. If it is not brushed away properly, including difficult to reach areas like between the teeth, the plaque hardens to form tartar/calculus which cannot be removed so easily at home. Persistent plaque and calculus can lead to periodontal disease, causing bleeding gums, tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss.

    Your dental hygienist will perform an intensive clean on all accessible surfaces of the teeth to ensure any plaque and tartar build up is fully removed. If you have a lot of tooth decay, your hygienist may apply a fluoride gel to help protect the teeth from further attack.
  • Stain removal
    Drinking tea, coffee, red wine or fizzy drinks will gradually stain your teeth over time. Your hygienist will be able to clean these stains away using natural products like baking soda for a whiter smile. Our hygienists also use the innovative AirFlow system which uses air, sodium bicarbonate and water together to clean stains from your teeth.
  • Fresh breath
    A clean mouth means fresher breath!
  • Prevention of gum disease
    Early signs of gum disease include bleeding gums when brushing. Your hygienist will test for this and if they spot symptoms. With regular appointments, they will be able to help deal with this before the disease has the chance to progress. They may use anti bacteria gel and solutions to apply under the gum line to kill any bacteria causing gum disease. It is important to pay attention to these symptoms as if left untreated, gum disease can lead to the movement or even the loss of teeth.
  • Oral hygiene plan
    We will work with your individual needs to create a tailor made plan for optimum maintenance of your oral hygiene. This includes recommending the right products, different types of brushes and showing you the most effective ways to use them.
  • Dietary advice and smoking cessation
    The food we eat can affect our teeth, this could be through staining or acid erosion. If your diet has had a detrimental effect on your teeth, our hygienists can advise on changing your eating habits to prevent further harm. Smoking is also a big factor in causing periodontal disease, bone loss, oral cancer, reducing healing after dental work and staining of teeth. Your dental hygienist can also offer smoking cessation advise if required.

We recommend all Envisage Dental Ferndown patients have regular hygiene treatments at least once to twice a year alongside your routine dental health reviews.

Having very high anxiety issues, dentist trips have always been difficult for me. My trip to the hygienist (Stephanie Davis) was a very comfortable experience providing a very professional, gentle and informative appointment. Just being able to feel comfortable has made my visits less stressful. Thank you.

Have had several visits here in the past few weeks and can highly recommend the team there. The receptionists are welcoming and the treatment I received from both Hugo and Mel was first class. I was made to feel at ease and every part of the treatment was explained, they listened to my concerns and questions and showed me photos at the end to illustrate what had been done. Would particularly recommend to anyone who is nervous or anxious as they are so friendly and take the time to look after you throughout the whole visit.

I’ve had an outstanding experience with Envisage Dentistry in Ferndown, under the care of Dr Tom Rowland and his brilliant Nurse Tayla. What began as a desire to improve my smile turned into an 18-month journey that exceeded all expectations. From the initial consultation through to the final results, every step was handled with professionalism, precision, and genuine care. I went through braces to straighten my teeth, followed by whitening, composite bonding, and ultimately a full set of crowns on my top row, and the transformation has been incredible. Tom was fantastic throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain each stage clearly, made sure I was comfortable with every decision, and delivered results that look completely natural while still being a huge improvement. The whole team at Envisage were welcoming and supportive, which made what could have been a daunting process feel smooth and reassuring. I couldn’t be happier with my new smile and would highly recommend them to anyone considering cosmetic dental work.

I had a routine check-up with Tom and hygiene appointment with Olga today at the Envisage Clinic in Ferndown, Dorset; and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. From the moment I walked in, the reception staff were friendly and efficient, making the check-in process quick and stress-free. Tom was extremely professional, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly, including what they were looking for during the exam and any areas I should keep an eye on. I really appreciated how they made sure I was comfortable throughout and answered all my questions without rushing. The hygienist, Olga, did a fantastic job with the GBT Airflow treatment, very gentle but thorough, and they gave helpful advice on improving my brushing technique. The clinic itself is always very clean, modern, and well-organized, which also added to the overall positive experience. Overall, I felt well cared for and informed about my dental health. I would most definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dentist.

WOW!!!! Just came back from visiting Envisage dental and couldn’t be more pleased with the treatment. Ive always been nervous for the densitst and needed quite a bit of work doing (new crown, some injections etc) but Hugo made me feel at ease from start to finish. He explained each stage in detail… the checkup was super thorough and the crown is the exact colour I asked for. Nurse Kim also did a stellar job at fitting the crown for the final appointment and I was in and out within no time. THANKYOU team envisage… for the first time ever I can say it was an absolute getting to come and see the dentist and getting looked after by you guys! !!
