Direct access hygiene in Burton upon Trent

Whether you want to freshen your smile, improve gum health, or maintain results after orthodontic treatment, our hygiene team offers gentle, thorough care for patients across Burton upon Trent and East Staffordshire.
What is direct access hygiene and how does it work?
Direct access means you can see one of our dental hygienists without a referral or dental examination beforehand. This makes it easy to stay on top of oral hygiene, especially if you want regular professional cleaning or ongoing care after treatments like Invisalign or fixed ceramic braces.
Our hygienists are trained to provide safe, effective cleaning and gum care. If they spot anything that needs further attention, they’ll advise you to see a dentist, but you’ll never need an appointment first to access hygiene treatment.
