Professional teeth cleaning in Lichfield
Dental hygienist
Protect your gums and brighten your smile with a professional teeth cleaning from experienced private dental hygienists in Lichfield.
Teeth cleaning at Beacon Park Dental
A professional clean does things that brushing and flossing at home can't. A teeth cleaning will remove plaque and tartar from areas that are hard to reach and protect your gums over the long term. We offer traditional scale and polish as well as guided biofilm therapy.
You don't need to be a registered patient to book, so if you've been meaning to get a professional clean but haven't got round to registering yet, you can still come to us.
What does a dental hygiene visit involve?
A hygiene appointment starts with an assessment of your gum health, followed by a scale and polish. Your hygienist removes hardened tartar from above and below the gumline, polishes away surface staining, and talks you through your home routine — covering anything worth paying closer attention to between visits.
Some patients opt for airflow tooth polishing instead, which uses Guided Biofilm Therapy to detect and remove the bacterial film that builds up on teeth and gums before it causes damage.
How much does a hygiene appointment cost?
The cost of a dental hygiene appointment depends on what kind of teeth cleaning you decide on. You can find up-to-date pricing on our pricing page, and we’ll give you a clear quote before your teeth cleaning too.
If you want to make regular hygiene care more manageable, our membership plans include two hygienist appointments and two routine examinations per year, plus 10% off our other treatments.

Do I need to see a hygienist?
If your gums bleed when you brush, you've noticed tartar build-up, or it's simply been a while since your last professional clean, it's worth booking a dental hygiene appointment. Gum disease is common and often symptom-free in its early stages — catching it early makes it much easier to manage.
Even without any obvious signs, a regular scale and polish helps keep your gums healthy and your teeth looking their best.

Private dental hygiene care in Lichfield
NHS hygiene appointments are often short and in high demand. At Beacon Park Dental, appointments are private and never rushed, so you'll have time to ask questions and understand exactly what your hygienist has found before you leave.
Charlotte Sproston, our dental hygienist, holds a BSc and is particularly good with patients who find dental visits difficult. Clare Terry has been providing hygiene and periodontal care since 1986. Both work closely with our dentists, so if anything needs following up, we can address it as part of your wider care.
