## About the Clinic

Kensington Dental Studio is a private oral surgery and implant centre in the heart of Kensington. The clinic offers dental and aesthetic treatments in comfortable surroundings, with hand-picked clinicians who each focus on a particular area of dentistry: aligner treatment, implants, cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery. The in-house oral surgeons perform complex extractions and implant placements at the practice.

The clinic's approach is patient-centred and transparent. Fees are explained before treatment begins, patients receive a written treatment plan with costs, and the team does not rush or push patients into treatment. Late appointments and Saturday slots are available for busy patients. The clinic welcomes patients from Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Paddington, Knightsbridge and the rest of West London, as well as international visitors.

## General and Preventive Dentistry

### Dental Examination
https://www.kensingtondentalstudio.co.uk/treatment/dental-examination/
- Duration: 30-45 minutes. No anaesthesia. Digital X-rays and on-screen visuals for treatment planning. Recommended every 6-12 months.
- The dentist reviews dental and medical history and current symptoms, examines every tooth and existing restorations (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures), checks the bite, and assesses the gums for inflammation, pocketing, recession and plaque.
- X-rays are taken only when needed, to see between teeth, under fillings, around roots or near bone.
- The oral health check also covers the tongue, cheeks, lips, palate, floor of the mouth and throat, looking for ulcers, lumps, patches and infections.
- Patients receive practical advice on brushing, interdental cleaning, fluoride, diet, acid wear, grinding, smoking, alcohol, dry mouth and medication effects.
- The fee is given before the examination begins; findings and treatment options are explained afterwards with costs, timing and priorities.
- Book an examination for bleeding gums, sensitivity, pain, swelling, chipped or loose teeth, bad breath, jaw tension, food trapping, or if it has been more than a year since the last visit.

### Dental Hygiene (scale and polish, deep cleaning)
https://www.kensingtondentalstudio.co.uk/treatment/dental-hygiene/
- Duration: 30-60 minutes depending on treatment type. Ultrasonic scaler and Airflow polishing. Recommended 1-2 times per year, more often for gum disease, implants, crowns, bridges or heavy tartar.
- A scale and polish removes hardened tartar around the gum line and between teeth and polishes away surface stains.
- Deep cleaning targets deposits below the gum line where gum disease has created deeper pockets.
- A visit may include gum assessment, plaque and tartar removal, stain removal, polishing, brushing and interdental cleaning advice, guidance for bleeding gums or bad breath, and maintenance advice for implants, crowns, bridges and retainers.
- Options: Essential Hygiene (25 minutes, light scaling, polishing, advice), Standard Hygiene (40 minutes, full ultrasonic scaling, stain removal, Airflow polishing, guidance), Advanced Hygiene (comprehensive gum assessment, full scaling, stain removal, Airflow, polishing, local anaesthetic if needed).
