Maidstone Dental & Implant Centre is an experienced and multidisciplinary practice that caters to both NHS and private patients from our beautiful practice in Maidstone. Our mission is to provide exemplary dental care to adults and children by treating patients in the same way we would treat our own families.
Or vision is to offer high quality general and cosmetic dentistry. Here at Maidstone Dental & Implant Centre, our highly trained team aim to provide you with the highest standard of treatment each time you visit the surgery.
A visit to the dentist can involve a lot of different members of staff, from the dentist, to the dental nurse and the hygienist. Each member of the team is integral to the smooth running of the practice, ensuring you receive the high quality of care you have come to expect from Maidstone Dental & Implant Centre.
Dental Receptionist
The dental receptionist is the first person you will meet as you walk through the door and the person you will speak to when you call the surgery. They will welcome you to the surgery and may give you a medical history form to update to ensure that all your details are correct prior to any treatment. They oversee the appointment book, so are responsible for booking appointments and will also take payment when you finish a course of treatment. The receptionist strives to ensure you feel welcome and relaxed prior to seeing the dentist or other members of the dental team.
Dental nurse
The dental nurse assists the dentist in the surgery and also performs all the processes in the decontamination room. This includes preparing the surgery at the start of the day, sorting out work to go to the laboratory, sterilising instruments, mixing materials, taking notes, and ensuring that patients are put at ease. They work closely with the dentist to ensure that you have the best possible experience when you are in the dental surgery.
Hygienist
Our hygienist is passionate about oral health and will help you to achieve a clean, healthy mouth with minimal discomfort. The hygienist specialises in preventative oral health, focusing on techniques in oral hygiene to prevent gum disease. They will provide thorough scaling of your teeth to remove plaque and calculus and will advise on the best oral hygiene routine to use in between appointments to ensure that your teeth remain in the best possible condition. Finally, the hygienist will also advise on lifestyle factors that can affect your teeth and gums.
Dentist
It is normally advised that you attend for routine appointments every 6-12 months, as this allows any problems to be identified early reducing the need for extensive treatment.
At your routine appointment, the dentist will:
- Perform a thorough check of your mouth and gums
- Check for the presence of any plaque
- Perform an oral cancer screening
- Check the health of your jaw joints
- Check you bite for health and comfort
- Take x-rays when required to look at the bone levels and health of your teeth
- Discuss your lifestyle and how this can affect your oral health
We are very lucky at Maidstone Dental & Implant Centre to have a highly skilled team of specialists who are able to offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments.
The entire dental team are here to ensure that you receive the highest possible level of care each time you attend the surgery. If you have any questions or would like any more information about the treatment you receive in practice, do not hesitate to ask a member of the team who will do their best to assist you.
