Gentle, Affordable Family Dental Care in Croydon

Professional Deep Cleaning and Hygiene — The Foundation of a Healthy Smile

Regular professional cleaning is one of the most important things you can do for your long-term oral health, and it is an area where Croydon Dental Clinic truly excels. Prathiba provides thorough, expert hygiene care that goes well beyond what a standard clean involves — removing the hardened tartar and bacteria that daily brushing simply cannot reach, and assessing the health of your gums, bone levels, and surrounding tissues with the trained eye of a specialist.

Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, and in its early stages it causes little to no discomfort — which is precisely why regular professional hygiene appointments are so critical. Investing in quality deep cleaning every six months is the single most effective strategy for avoiding costly restorative treatment down the line and keeping your natural teeth healthy for as long as possible. Natural teeth, properly cared for, can last a lifetime. Our role is to help you keep them.

New patients can experience this standard of care firsthand with our introductory offer of $199 (over $400 in value) which includes a full examination, professional clean, digital X-rays and fluoride treatment. This offer is GAP FREE for those with health funds on the first visit.
