Specialist care
Specialist dental treatments provided by qualified clinicians, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs and delivered using established clinical techniques where appropriate.
Hygiene service
Regular hygiene appointments play an important role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
Why hygiene appointments are important
Regular hygiene appointments are an essential part of maintaining your dental health. Even with thorough brushing and flossing at home, plaque and hardened deposits (tartar) can build up in hard-to-reach areas that toothbrushes can't reach. Our highly trained hygienists provide a professional clean that goes deeper than daily home care, helps detect early signs of problems, and supports your long-term dental health.

Benefits of maintaining dental hygiene
- A scale and polish removes harmful plaque and tartar that, if left untreated, can cause periodontal (gum) disease and other gum and tooth complications
- After cleaning and polishing, your teeth feel smoother and look brighter. A gentle air polish reduces surface stains and leaves your mouth feeling fresher
- Your hygienist will also assess your overall dental health and flag any concerns early, so they can be addressed before they develop further

Angela Curtis
I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results! From my very first appointment, Dr Prabhat Gurung made me feel completely at ease, explaining every step of the treatment and making sure I was comfortable throughout. A special thank you also to the dental nurse, Olivia Dale who was incredibly kind, friendly and reassuring. She helped me feel relaxed at every visit and was such an important part of the whole experience. The attention to detail and level of skill are outstanding. My teeth look completely natural, and I finally have the smile I’ve always wanted. I can’t stop smiling, and my confidence has grown so much. Everyone at Durham Smile Clinic has been welcoming, caring and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Prabhat Gurung and the whole team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Thank you all so much!

Another nervous patient here but I cannot thank Mel and the others enough for making me feel so at ease today!! I’m neurodivergent and very anxious - this was no trouble at all and it was so nice not feeling like a burden. Mel talked me through everything, was so so patient with me, understood what I needed and met me where I was instead of pushing me; after bad experiences in the past I feel so much better after today!

Brilliant! Dr Roshan and team were so attentive and listened to all my (complex) needs. He gave me loads of information and advice. He really took his time and I didn't feel rushed at all. Best dentist experience I've ever had.
