the foundation of a healthy smile

Dental Hygienist

Our dental therapist Michelle is fully qualified and registered as practising dental hygienist. She specialises in preventative education and periodontal (gum) treatment and maintenance in both our Stoke and Mapua branches here in Nelson.

If you have unhealthy gums you may notice one or more of the following:

  • Gums looking red or spongy
  • Receding gums
  • Blood or pus coming from your gums
  • Experiencing loose or missing teeth
  • Bad breath
PREVENTATIVE CARE

Preventative care and education is something we strongly emphasize to reduce the likelihood of more extensive dental treatments in future years. At your dental hygiene visit our hygienists will discuss:

  • Dental cleaning aids such as interproximal brushes, electric tooth brushes, soft bristled brushes, water flossers, and mouth washes.
  • Dental cleaning techniques.
  • Dietary advice.
  • Tooth strengthening products if you are at risk of decay, erosion and wear.
MAINTAINING HEALTHY GUMS

Our hygienists will also treat any active gum disease and provide regular maintenance services to keep your gums healthy. Common procedures performed by our hygienists:

  • Full mouth charting of the degree of gum disease to enable monitoring of your condition after treatment
  • Treatment of gum inflammation and periodontal disease
  • Teeth scaling and polishing
  • Removal of surface staining
TEETH WHITENING

Our experienced hygienists are trained in teeth whitening, we also offer the lifetime whitening package which can be part of your regular hygiene maintenance visits.

Testimonials

What our patients are saying

After many months of trying to find a dentist I felt comfortable with; I can finally say Justin and the team at One Dental are everything I hoped for. Very professional, kind and understanding, great team with an honest and tailored approach. I was very nervous and yet I walked out smiling today! I would highly recommend this dental practice. They are also fairly priced and offer worry-free payment plans. I’m so glad to have found One Dental.

He carried out a thorough examination and made me feel totally comfortable. Would definitely recommend this dentist and dental practice to anyone. Thank you.

I had surgical wisdom extraction at One Dental in Stoke and they were amazing. The service is impeccable. I later developed a complication and infection and the team in Mapua were so prompt in helping me. I couldn’t have had a more positive dental experience and in feeling so well looked after.
