Sheffield dental hygiene cleans

Regular dental hygiene cleans can help protect your dental health

Even for the most consistent brushers, from time to time all teeth can benefit from a professional clean. At The Smile Designers, our dental hygiene cleans (often called a scale and polish) lift stains, remove tartar, and leave your mouth feeling clean, fresh, and healthy.

Your appointment includes a full-mouth assessment, a thorough clean using gentle ultrasonic tools, and actionable advice from our experienced hygienist to help you stay on top of your oral health between visits.

Without regular maintenance, plaque can harden into tartar and lead to bad breath, bleeding gums and even tooth loss. That’s why for most patients we advise 2x cleans per year, more if you’re prone to gum issues.

Our hygienist can also perform basic fillings and provide targeted stain removal using our gentle yet effective Airflow system. See pricing for more information.

What’s included in a professional hygiene clean?

Each hygiene appointment includes an assessment of your teeth and gums, ultrasonic cleaning (scale and polish), and personalised advice on how to care for your mouth at home. We also remove plaque and tartar build-up, which can’t be cleaned away with brushing alone.

How often should I see the dental hygienist?

Most patients benefit from a professional hygiene clean every 3-6 months to maintain healthy gums and fresh breath. If you have gum disease or higher risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits.

Do hygiene cleans hurt?

Hygiene cleans are usually painless, though you may feel some sensitivity in areas with gum inflammation or heavy tartar. We’ll always check in with you during the clean and can adjust our technique to keep you comfortable.

How is The Smile Designers approach different?

We take our time. Every hygiene appointment includes a thorough chat about your routine, diet, and any symptoms you’re noticing. We also use clinical tools like the bleeding index to track inflammation and gum health over time, so you can see what’s improving and what needs work. We’re here to help, not judge.

Will a hygiene clean whiten my teeth?

Your teeth will definitely be cleaner after a visit to our hygienist. But if you’re looking for a more dramatic change, Airflow stain removal can be combined with your hygiene appointment for a total of £200. This gently lifts stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine or smoking, leaving your teeth noticeably cleaner and brighter.

Flexible finance on dental treatments

We think everyone deserves to look and feel fantastic. That’s why we offer 0-14% APR finance packages that allow you to spread the cost of your dental treatment over a period of up to 5 years.

    From the minute I walked into the practice I felt relaxed and calm. Fahad made me feel so easy about my teeth as I have been feeling a little less confident with my smile. He was assuring and professional and gave me some brilliant options. I also saw Kendra for some treatments too, again such a great person really down to earth and informative. I would definitely recommend the smile designers to anyone looking for both dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

    After years of complex dental work I never felt like I had the results I was looking for, but Fahad finally gave me the perfect smile. An absolute professional from start to finish, I never felt like I was being overcharged and he listened to my concerns about wanting a ‘natural’ look and advised how we could achieve this and what the best options were for me to choose from. I couldn’t recommend him more and wouldn’t hesitate to return for further work if required 10/10

    The care that Fahad gave to me during my Invisalign, whitening and composite journey was just incredible. I felt so completely at ease and trusted him 100% when it came to choosing the right steps for me in my journey. I am so pleased with my results and this continues years after completing my journey. I’m beyond happy with how natural my teeth look, his approach is definitely not a “one size fits all”. Thank you so much, Fahad. You have a client in me forever!

    I cannot recommend Fahad and the team at the Smile Designers more. I’ve seen Fahad for the last 4 years and he is so friendly and puts you at ease. He makes time to understand what you’re looking for and is clear in his advice, putting your needs first. I’ve been so pleased with the results I’ve had including Invisalign and whitening. The rest of the team at the Smile Designers including Adele and Kendra are all lovely and make you feel really comfortable. Would 100% recommend.

    This Dental Practice is the best in Sheffield. Extremely professional & caring. All staff members are lovely people. I pay into a monthly payment plan which makes my dental care affordable. It includes 2 examinations & 2 hygienist appointments each year. Well worth it.

    Very professional team. Everybody is great and personable. Hadn’t been to a dentist for a while and everyone was very helpful. Was happy with the work done and results on my teeth. You can tell the team have worked hard to make a calm atmosphere. I had a great experience and would recommend this dentist to anyone looking for good treatments from good people.

    Incredible! Went in with the hope to fix my teeth and they certainty did that and some. As a person who struggles with anxiety especially at the dentist I have never felt so reassured, from the first consult to the end of my treatment everything was explained clearly and to a level I felt comfortable and trusted them wholeheartedly. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Would definitely recommend The Smile Designers – especially if you have a fear of the dentist! The way it’s decorated doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a clinic and all the staff are so lovely and friendly. I had a consultation with Fahad for teeth whitening with Kendra and he was great at making me feel less anxious and more informed on my teeth than a usual checkup. I’m usually terrified of the dentist but can say I’m actually happy to come back here!
