Tooth staining? Hard plaque deposits? Bleeding gums? 

Haven’t had a dental exam in a while and are worried about the health of your teeth and gums?  

Maybe anxious about seeing ‘the dentist’? Recently moved to the area or looking for a new general dental practice?

Guess what. Since 2013 and changes to the law, Clifton Dental Studio patients have been able to directly see a dental therapist and hygienist without waiting for a dentist.

Direct access appointments are one hour long and will include some special things..

  • Digital record of teeth
  • Tooth wear index
  • Gum health assessment
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Photos as required
  • X-rays as required
  • Tailored home care advice
  • A personalised plan for lifelong gum health
  • Professional hard plaque removal above the gum line

  • Referral to general dental practitioner as appropriate.

Do You Have To See A Dentist for All Treatments?

New rules. No need to see a dentist for certain treatments. Visit a dental therapist instead.

What is a Dental Therapist?

We can assess gum health. This means that we can both treat and diagnose and educate about gum disease. And the following…

  1. Take X rays which is a vital part of assessing and planning treatment
  2. Treat our teeth with tooth-coloured fillings
  3. Tooth whitening and a prescription from a dentist, which is a safe way of improving your smile
  4. Take impressions and digital scans, which can be used for a multitude of things 
  5. Make appropriate referrals to other health professionals
  6. Carry out “happy air”, which is like a form of sedation, and we can treat patients under IV sedation
  7. Mouth cancer screenings and assess risk factors and then be asked to give appropriate smoking and alcohol cessation advice
  8. And finally, we can take care of implants and treatment and implanted diseases. 

CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY

We’ve had lots of children, and we can do fissure sealants and apply fluoride varnish which really helps strengthen and protect their adult teeth. And we can also do extractions.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a painless, fast and safe method that helps you keep your teeth healthy and delivers a beautiful smile.

Both of our Hygiene Therapists, Heather and Lottie, are GBT certified and GBT is carried out during your regular hygiene appointments, it uses airflow technology, which is a combination of warm water, air and soft powder, to remove all bacteria (Biofilm) in the mouth that contributes to tooth decay and gum disease.

Biofilm increases the risk of Alzheimers, heart disease, respiratory disorders, diabetes and much more so it is essential that this is removed.

Guided Biofilm therapy is amazing at removing plaque and staining around fixed orthodontic braces. During orthodontic treatment it is essential you maintain excellent home care and continue with regular hygiene visits to prevent gum disease and decay around the brackets.

Notice in this video during the gentle airflow treatment the gums are bleeding, this is due to inflammation from the patient struggling to clean in-between their teeth at home. As part of the hygiene appointment we spent time talking through and demonstrating ways to make home care more manageable.

If you’re going through Ortho treatment please remember to book regular hygiene appointments so we can identify any issues before they cause significant problems.

Yesterday, I had another excellent experience of pain-free dentistry at Clifton Dental Studio. Dr Neil Gerrard, assisted by Qualified Dental Nurse, Kate Burt, prepared a badly cracked tooth to be ready for a new ceramic crown. Neil used an anaesthetic that was drip-fed slowly, under computer control, directly into the tooth and nerve. It was 100% effective in numbing the tooth without affecting the jaw or that area of the mouth. Many thanks to Neil and Kate and, as usual, to Julie for her warm welcome at reception.Edited on 23rd April 2025: Another great experience at Clifton Dental Studio; truly the home of pain-free dentistry - as I said to dentist Sylvia and dental nurse Kaitlin when they fitted a new crown yesterday. Brilliant service, accommodating me at less than 24 hours notice after I'd broken a temporary crown.read more

I just want to share a little bit about my experience with Clifton Dental Studio. It's been 10 years since I had a complete smile makeover with them and I have to say the results were absolutely amazing! I used to be so self conscious of my teeth that I wouldn't smile or be photographed. Now I can't stop smiling.My treatment plan was quite intensive and lasted over a year but Dr Neil and the team took spectacular care of me throughout the entire process. The setup at Clifton Dental Studio is wonderful from the moment you walk in the door. The communication is second to none and the follow up care is amazing. It truly is the home of pain free dentistry !I would highly recommend Clifton Dental Studio to anyone looking for cosmetic dentistry. They have completely transformed my smile and my confidence and I couldn't be happier with the results.read more

Heather the hygienist always does a thorough job and is very knowledgeable about various procedures when asked. She also offers good advice for general maintenance and this time I had a 3D scan of my teeth for future reference which looked good…. Less reliance on moulds too perhaps. Heather is lovely. Well done all!read more
