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.

Bad breath becomes chronic without addressing bacterial causes

Dr. Yasser El-Ali at Dental by Design did something truly priceless: he healed my fear and changed my life. People often focus on the cost of implants, but money was the last thing on my mind after what I went through. Four previous dentists left me so traumatised that I ended up in the hospital twice with dangerous blood pressure. I never thought I could face this surgery. Dr. Yasser changed everything. His incredible skill and calming nature completely erased years of trauma. You cannot put a price tag on a doctor who restores both your smile and your peace of mind.
Response from Dental By Design
Thank you so much, Xhevahir, for sharing such a deeply moving review. We are truly honoured that Dr Yasser El-Ali helped you overcome years of dental fear and made you feel safe throughout your implant treatment. Knowing that he restored not only your smile but also your peace of mind means more to our entire team than words can express. Thank you for placing your trust in Dr Yasser and Dental by Design in Hammersmith, London. We wish you many happy and confident years with your new smile.
