Professional Scale & Polish Treatment

The foundation of excellent oral health

Professional dental hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout your life. Our experienced dental hygienists like Dr. Luis Solorzano use advanced techniques including ultrasonic scaling, hand instrumentation, and Airflow polishing to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that cannot be eliminated through home care alone. Regular hygiene appointments every 6 months help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath while maintaining your smile's natural brightness. We provide personalised oral health education and home care advice to help you maintain optimal results between visits. For patients with gum disease or higher risk factors, we may recommend more frequent cleanings every 3-4 months as part of a comprehensive periodontal maintenance program.

The Hidden Costs of Delaying Dental Hygiene

Regular professional cleaning prevents serious oral health problems that become expensive and painful to treat.

Gingivitis progresses to aggressive periodontitis without treatment

Scientific Evidence:

Papapanou PN et al., J Clin Periodontol (2018): Untreated gingivitis leads to periodontal disease in 70% of cases within 3-5 years. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29926496/ - Tonetti MS et al., J Periodontol (2017): Early intervention with professional cleaning prevents progression to severe gum disease. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28585876/

Plaque bacteria increase risk of heart disease and stroke

Scientific Evidence:

Lockhart PB et al., Circulation (2012): Oral bacteria from gum disease directly linked to cardiovascular events. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22392862/ - Winning L et al., Heart (2013): Regular dental cleanings reduce heart attack risk by 24%. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23749878/

Tooth loss accelerates without regular professional cleaning

Scientific Evidence:

Eke PI et al., J Dent Res (2015): Adults who skip regular cleanings lose 2.5x more teeth by age 65. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25672119/ - Kassebaum NJ et al., J Dent Res (2014): Severe periodontal disease affects 11% of global population, mostly preventable. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25261053/

Bad breath becomes chronic without addressing bacterial causes

Scientific Evidence:

Cortelli JR et al., J Clin Periodontol (2008): Halitosis caused by periodontal bacteria requires professional treatment to resolve. PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18318727/ - Van der Sleen MI et al., Int J Dent Hyg (2010): Regular scaling reduces volatile sulfur compounds causing bad breath.

Timothy Lock

I cannot recommend Dr. Yasser and his dental nurse, Adriana, highly enough. I recently underwent a full mouth dental restoration with implant-supported bridges, a procedure that lasted approximately six hours from start to finish. Despite the length of the treatment, which had a break at the halfway point, the entire experience was completely painless and far more comfortable than I ever imagined. From the very beginning, Dr. Yasser demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and attention to detail. He took the time to explain every stage of the procedure, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind throughout the day. Adriana was equally outstanding, providing constant support, reassurance, and care that made the whole experience feel relaxed and stress-free. The results have been nothing short of life-changing. Seeing my new teeth and smile for the first time was an incredibly emotional moment. The transformation has given me a level of confidence I haven’t felt in years, and I genuinely wish I had gone ahead with the treatment much sooner. If you are considering a full mouth restoration using implant-supported bridges, I can honestly say that placing my trust in Dr. Yasser and Adriana was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Their expertise, kindness, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome have completely transformed my smile and my quality of life. Thank you both for such an incredible experience and an amazing result. Also a big thank you to Dr. Yasser for picking the incredible Pink Floyd soundtrack to listen to as the procedure unfolded. I’m no longer just another brick in the wall.

The whole experience was even better than I expected. As someone who has always been afraid of visiting the dentist, Dr. Rob Jung immediately made me feel at ease. The professional care and attention I received from him and his entire team were truly exceptional. The smile that Dr. Rob gave me has genuinely changed my life, and I cannot thank him enough for his skill, kindness, and dedication. I am so grateful for the outstanding treatment and support I received throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Rob Jung and his team to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Dr Yasser is an incredible dentist—both highly professional and genuinely personable, which immediately put me at ease. From the very first consultation through to the final fitting of my upper jaw implants, his care and expertise were outstanding. I can’t thank him enough for restoring my smile and rebuilding my confidence, something I had struggled with for quite some time. My entire experience with Dental by Design has been exceptional. From the welcoming reception team to the skilled dental staff, the service has been consistently top-tier. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality dental care.

Response from Dental By Design

I wanted to write a thorough review of Dental By Design as I went there for full upper and lower implant replacements, and I know this is a big decision for anyone considering the same. I’m now 13 days post-surgery and will update this as I continue the process, but this reflects my experience so far. From the beginning, I spent a lot of time researching implants and where to have them done. Like many people, I was initially drawn to the pricing at Dental By Design, but cautious about the “buy cheap, buy twice” concern, so I looked into the practice carefully, reading reviews here and on other sites. I was slightly unsure at first as some reviews felt repetitive, but I later understood why certain phrases are used once I met the team. I eventually booked an initial consultation. The phone staff were helpful and efficient, and the appointment required a holding deposit, which was refunded after I attended. I saw Dr Yasser, who the website describes as "a true implant artisan”, this is the repetitive phrase used in reviews that initially made me cautious but it is his personal brand and, after my initial consultation and subsequent surgery, I can confirm that the description is completely accurate. I’m very analytical and don’t respond well to being sold to, and Dr Yasser was excellent in taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my (many) questions. He went through scans with me in detail and showed exactly how the implants would be placed and how the procedure would work. I felt very cared for throughout the whole process and his calm demeanour put my mind at ease. I then met with a business manager who explained the costs and timeline. The only real downside for me was a mismatch in expectations around “teeth in a day”. This is advertised on the website, but Dr Yasser uses a 3-month temporary stage before final teeth. That said, his reasoning was very sound, and I independently researched this and agree it’s the better approach for long-term results, allowing gums and bone to heal properly and settle into the final shape. The temporary arches are also titanium reinforced and very strong. I do think the clinic could make this clearer on the website, as it may surprise some people. There is also an additional cost compared to the headline pricing, which wasn’t immediately obvious, but in the context of the treatment it felt worthwhile and therefore, I'm still giving them 5 stars. After deciding to proceed, I booked the surgery for around six weeks later. During that time I had a call with the sedation specialist, Dr Anand, who explained the process and answered further questions. On the day of surgery I arrived at 9am and was quickly made comfortable. Dr Yasser and Dr Anand explained everything clearly, I was sedated, and after that I have only a limited memory of the procedure. From my perspective it was calm, painless, and professionally handled throughout. Even when I became slightly more aware towards the end of the extractions, it was still comfortable and well managed. Afterwards I was fitted with temporary teeth. The initial bite wasn’t perfect, but I was very numb and sedated at the time and this was expected. At my follow-up just over a week later, Dr Yasser spent a lot of time adjusting everything and the bite is now excellent. My teeth already look better than they ever have, and I genuinely find myself going to the mirror several times a day just to smile. I’ll be on soft foods for around three months while everything heals. It’s not actually too different from what I could manage beforehand, apart from missing the occasional pizza (which is sadly a knife-and-fork situation now!). Overall, I highly recommend Dental By Design and especially Dr Yasser. I can confirm he really is a true implant artisan. The whole team has been professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout, and I’m very happy with the results so far. I’m now looking forward to the permanent set and the final stage of the process.

Response from Dental By Design

Thank you so much, Mike, for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review. We are really pleased to hear that Dr Yasser, Dr Anand and the whole team made you feel informed, comfortable and cared for throughout your journey so far. Your feedback about making the treatment stages and pricing clearer is also very valuable, and we will take this on board as a clinic. We look forward to supporting you through the healing phase and the final stage of your treatment!
