Dental Hygiene & Preventive Care

What is dental hygiene & preventive care?

Dental hygiene & preventive care form the foundation of a healthy, radiant smile. Focused on maintaining the cleanliness of your teeth and gums while preventing oral health issues before they arise, these services are essential for preserving both your dental wellbeing and your overall health.

At Pro Dental, we believe prevention is the most powerful form of care. Our experienced team delivers professional hygiene treatments using modern techniques and personalised advice, helping you protect your natural teeth, freshen your smile, and avoid future complications. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a targeted periodontal therapy, each treatment is tailored to your specific needs.

Our dental hygiene & preventive care services include:
 

• Scale & Polish with PRSI (Public Dental Benefit)

For eligible patients, we offer an annual scale and polish under the PRSI dental benefit scheme. This professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains while polishing the teeth for a smooth, refreshed finish. It’s an important preventive measure to maintain oral health and detect early signs of gum disease.
 

• Scale & Polish (Private)

Available to all patients, this comprehensive professional cleaning is performed by our experienced dental hygienists. It involves the careful removal of plaque, calculus (tartar), and surface staining, followed by a gentle polish to restore the natural radiance of your teeth. Regular scale and polish treatments help to prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath while enhancing the appearance of your smile.
 

• Periodontal Treatment (per 45 Minutes)

For patients with early signs of gum disease or those requiring deeper cleaning, our periodontal treatment offers an intensive, tailored approach. This treatment targets bacteria and plaque buildup beneath the gum line, reducing inflammation, halting the progression of periodontal disease, and promoting the health of your gums and supporting tissues. It’s a crucial therapy for preserving natural teeth and preventing long-term complications.
 

• Laser Teeth Whitening

Using state-of-the-art laser technology, this in-clinic whitening treatment delivers rapid, effective results with minimal sensitivity. Ideal for patients seeking a visibly brighter smile in a single visit, laser teeth whitening can lighten teeth by several shades, safely and comfortably, under professional supervision.
 

• Teeth Whitening Home Kit

For those who prefer the convenience of at-home treatment, we offer custom-fitted teeth whitening home kits. These kits include professional-grade whitening gel and bespoke trays designed specifically for your teeth, ensuring even, effective, and safe results. Perfect for maintaining your in-clinic whitening results or gradually brightening your smile at your own pace.
 

• Night Guard Acrylic

For patients who experience teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching, especially during sleep, we offer custom-made acrylic night guards. These durable, professional-grade appliances are individually crafted to fit your teeth comfortably, protecting them from excessive wear, fractures, and jaw discomfort. Ideal for preventing damage and relieving tension, our night guards help you safeguard your smile and enjoy more restful, pain-free nights.
​
Why prioritize dental hygiene? Consistent, professional dental hygiene care not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also plays a crucial role in protecting your long-term oral and general health. Poor gum health has been linked to a range of systemic health issues, making regular visits an essential part of a holistic wellness routine.

We believe dental hygiene is more than a necessity, it’s an investment in your confidence, health, and quality of life. Each treatment is delivered with precision, care, and a boutique-level attention to detail in a calm, welcoming environment.
