Martina Collins Dental Clinic
Hygiene Appointment

About Your Hygiene Visit

We are so fortunate to have a fantastic team of hygienists and therapists at the clinic. If it is your first hygiene visit or you come regularly, our hygienists will always make you feel welcome. They play such a vital role in looking after your teeth and gums so it is so important to attend regularly.

Regular visits to your hygienist puts you in the best position for detecting any oral health problems before they become symptomatic or require treatment. Hygienists are trained to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. Even the best electric toothbrush can’t reach every part of your mouth but a hygienist can get to those hard to reach places to provide a professional deep clean.

A scale and polish will remove harmful plaque and deposits of tartar that, if left, can cause gum disease which is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. In addition to a scale and polish your hygienist will give you oral hygiene advice on how to look after your teeth and gums. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions or concerns you may have.

Air Polish

This is an additional service which you can choose to add on to your hygiene treatment. Air polish works like a mini power hose for the teeth. It quickly and effectively removes unwanted stains on the front and back of teeth. Air polish is a fine jet of compressed air, water and fine powder particles to gently remove staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco etc. We recommend the air polish treatment after a hygiene visit for the most effective results.

What our clients say about us

Composite Bonding
"I can’t thank Rachel enough for the incredible job she did with my composite bonding journey. From start to finish, she made sure I was well-informed, comfortable, and confident throughout the process. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the perfect result is evident in the final outcome. My teeth have never looked better! Rachel professionalism, care, and expertise are truly unmatched. I’m beyond happy with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch dental work. Thank you, Rachel"

Braces
"I decided to try Martina Collin dental practice on the Lisburn road, as I was looking advice on braces. From the minute I walked into the practice, everyone was so friendly and welcoming! The dentist Darren made me feel at ease, talked me through all my options and answered all my questions. I now have been attending for over 2 months and can't praise all the staff enough. From the receptionist's, to Lorraine for talking through finance, to the hygienist's and Darren the orthodontist. I have been very impressed with the service and I look forward to seeing the end result!"

Smile Makeover
"What can I say? Five stars simply isn’t enough. From my initial consultation and dental work with Dr Judith and Jade to the excellent customer service over the phone and on the desk (particularly by Aimee in Belfast and a lovely nurse on the desk in Hillsborough who I’m afraid I’m drawing a blank on name (but is from Tyrone!)), follow up by Dr Catriona in Hillsborough, what an AMAZING team you have. You have made me so much more confident in my smile and I can’t thank you enough, incredible from start to finish! Thank you thank you thank you!!"

Emergency Care
"I cant recommend the team highly enough, as a 1st time user of this practice, ( after hearing great things ) I was most certainly not disappointed!! From the offset i was greeted with warmth and friendly staff, with chic chilled vibes and beautifully decorated, there was care and thought in ever corner, so i felt my month was in good hands ..... and they where! Everything was easy simple and seamless, from organising a speedy emergency appointment, to the procedure! It was all 10 star plus!! ... And I'm now looking forward to my next trip and seeing the team again!"

"Had a brilliant experience with Dr. Catriona Nelson - an excellent dentist with a really down to earth demeanour but unbelievable skill, knowledge and attention to detail. Victoria was on Nursing and both were fabulous - I felt I was in really good hands and the result, absolutely over the moon with how my teeth turned out. I had a course of whitening and composite bonding to my 4 upper teeth and I’m delighted with how they look!"

"From my first email enquiry I was reassured Martina Collins' Clinic was the one best suited for me. Receptionist Ashleen was polite, knowledgeable and welcoming in my first enquiring email and went to great effort to reschedule my appointment with Dr Claire when a last minute medical appointment threatened to derail my clinic appointment. The reception area was inviting, calm and clean. After completing a medical questionnaire and consent form, I was greeted by Dr Claire who led me into her pristine treatment room where we discussed skin treatments and cosmetic procedures that would enhance but not overly alter my appearance facially. Recent medical procedures had affected my skin, overall appearance and my confidence. With an important event coming up I needed to look good (for my age, 62yrs) but not with wind tunnel or waxy, mutton dressed as lamb effects! Dr Claire was amazing; patient, knowledgeable, and I had total confidence in her suggestions for minimal dermal filler in my cheeks, and softening of marionette lines around my lips and lip corners. Dr Claire explained every step of the procedure and the realistic outcome I might expect - I really valued her honesty and her professionalism. She was gentle with the procedures, kind, warm and the whole experience was so relaxing and enjoyable. I was also amazed to spend a lot less than I thought I might have to ( less than £400) and I left the clinic feeling really good and delighted with the subtlety of the treatments. I was also told I could return to the clinic at any time within 6 weeks should I require further tweaking of my treatment once it had settled. A 5 star experience from beginning to end and one I would recommend without hesitation to family and friends !"
