A dental hygiene clinic at 585 Beach Road in Rothesay Bay, on the North Shore, that focuses on gum health rather than general dentistry. Its services run from a simple clean for adults with staining, children and teenagers with braces, through to non-surgical gum treatment. A standard clean is recommended every three to six months, and it uses plaque-disclosing solution, gentle air polishing and before-and-after photos. For gum disease, the clinic offers a full gum health assessment with periodontal charting, deep scaling under local anaesthetic, and Perioscopy, a minimally invasive treatment it says is for patients who want to avoid surgery.
Patients with gum disease are seen in a planned course of treatment, and the deep scaling visit is part of that plan, not a stand-alone appointment. The clinic has a price list and payment options on its website. Regular clients can also have a periodic check with the general dentist. To book or ask a question, call (09) 600 3110.
