Whilst this includes home brushing and flossing, regular visits to see your hygienist will help to lower the risks of gum disease, decay and related problems. To have truly healthy gums, it is necessary to remove hardened bacteria from the teeth and the gum line, and this can only be achieved with the help of a dental hygienist.
Seeing the hygienist at Kent Smile Studio is a relaxed experience with plenty of opportunities to discuss your oral care and to ask any related questions. Our dental hygienists will also be able to advise you on how to improve your oral health and suggest oral health products to suit your needs.
If you wish to see a hygienist at either our Maidstone or Chatham practice, please contact us at the numbers below, and weโll be pleased to arrange your appointment.
โIโve been going to this practice for roughy 6 years now, everyone is so helpful and professional. My hygienist Chris is super nice, knowledgeable and tries to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Would recommend, one of the best dental practices locally.โ
โI honestly could not recommend the Kent smile studio any more. As someone who avoided the dentist, I suffered for months because of past experiences and terrible anxiety, I am now the opposite! P Vadera has changed my experience all together and I look forward to going back! He took me through every single step, took everything at my...โpace, even held my hand with the hygienist after I got a bit emotional, never known a dentist like it and honestly anyone that suffers with anxiety, go to the Kent Smile Studio! Z Jiwan, my hygienist is exactly the same, calms you straight away, understands your concerns and talks you through it & takes it at your pace! Everyone was so supportive and patient including the dental nurses and reception. Never thought id see the day I was pain free and not terrified to go back! Thank you for changing my experience and being so caring and patient! I look forward to my next check up!โ
โIโve been attending Kent Smile Studio since Covid. My dentist, Louise Yates, always takes time to explain everything and ensures that I feel comfortable and donโt suffer any discomfort, whether Iโm having a routine check or procedure, (same applies to Sylvia Chatterden - hygienist). I donโt dread going to the dentist anymore and am confident that Iโm receiving the best level...โof care using the latest technology. Everyone at Kent Smile Studio is professional, efficient and friendly and Iโve no hesitation in recommending them.โ
โ"This is a really professional and friendly practice. The care is amazing. Everything is discussed and explained in full. Costings are provided and are clear and adhered to. The staff are really caring and kind. Dr Dattani carried out my dental implants. His care and professionalism was first class and his nurse Sam is brilliant ...โI am over the moon with the results. I would highly recommend Kent Smile Studio. I signed up to have my implants there but have moved all my dental care to the practice because I am so impressed."โ
โI have been attending Kent Smile for 5 years and have received treatment for straightening, whitening, regular hygienist (Silvia Chatterton) and facial aesthetics. Dr M. Stakenaite is very professional, knowledgeable, caring and is an excellent technician. I have received excellent service and care at every appointment. I highly recommend Kent Smile Studio.โ
โZahir the hygienist is a friendly, thorough & really nice person. He always makes me feel at ease. He explains what he is doing & when he has completed my hygiene clean, he gives me good advice on How To maintain mouth hygiene. Highly recommend Zahir & all the team at Kent Smile studio.โ
โI've visited Chris Arnold, one of the hygienists in Chatham a few times now and always come away feeling fully freshened and brightened. I never liked flossing but after a helpful demonstration and tips I am a converted flosser. With daily flossing, my gums and teeth have improved measurably thanks to his help. Thank you Chris!!!โ
โI highly recommend Kent Smile Studio at Chatham! The wonderful people who work there will make you feel comfortable, even if you are afraid of visiting the dentist. Friendly front desk, great dentists, amazing dental hygienist and entire support team are not only professional but also extremely understanding and compassionate.โ
โI highly recommend the team at Kent Smile Studio. Super friendly, highly knowledgeable and professional. You're very much in safe hands. The ambience of the studio is delightful, filled with soothing sounds and imagery. My dentist Louise Yates and Hygienist Zahir Jiwan are wonderful. Always warm and welcoming (the whole team are!!), it feels like a catch up with a...โfriends than actually going to the dentist. Great care and I always leave smiling!โ
โSylvia Chatterton is my hygienist and she is the best I have ever had. She is always happy to see me and very friendly. She is always interested in my dental health and helps me with any issues I have. She always helps suggest the right brushes, toothpick, floss etc and tells me where to concentrate on brushing. I truly...โbelieve she loves what she does and takes real pride in her work. I always leave happy and with lovely clean teeth.โ
โHolly was friendly and took time to ensure that my teeth looked and felt comfortable and clean. I have a long history of gum issues and I see an hygienist every 3 months. The investment is worthwhile for my gums and teeth. I hope to keep my teeth for as long as I can. I have previously recommended...โthis dental practice to friends.โ
โI recently had an appointment with my dental hygienist, Hayley Johnson, and I can't recommend her highly enough! She is incredibly professional and clearly knows her stuff. During the cleaning, she took the time to explain each step, making me feel comfortable and informed. Her attention to detail is impressive, and I left the appointment feeling not just cleaned but genuinely...โuplifted. It's evident she truly cares about her patients and their well-being. If you're looking for a dental hygienist who provides excellent service with a smile, look no further! I always look forward to my visits with Hayley, and I come away feeling great every time. Thank you for making dental care a positive experience!โ
โI am very pleased with Kent Smile Studio.Hayley has been the gentlest hygienist I have ever been while still providing the best results I have ever experienced, she's brilliant.Also Amir Tarki is doing porcelain veneers to fix my damaged two front teeth and he has been wonderful throughout the process. The reception staff are also very friendly and accommodating, I...โam very pleased.โ
โI have paid a recent visit to a hygienist at the Kent Smilemaker Studio in Orpington and found it to be a very relaxed yet professional environment. The appointment was on time and the staff were extremely engaging and very explanatory when carrying out their work. I was given a very thorough treatment and left with advice regarding what further...โdental care I could undertake at home along with two free teepees that best suited my needs.โ
โAmir Tarki is a very competent & thorough professional dentist treatment is expertly explained & carried out. Hayley Johnson is an excellent hygienist and all the staff are friendly, I can recommend this practice to care for all your dental needs.โ
โAs always, a pleasure to visit the dentist and hygienist at Kent Smile Studio Orpington. They always explain, listen to my concerns and are always friendly and supportive whatever my treatment needs. I would thoroughly recommend this practice.โ
โKent Smile Studio in Orpington is, in my experience, an excellent dental surgery. The service I have received over the years from all the staff, has always been professional and friendly. I am welcomed like part of the family by great receptionist, dental nurses, and hygienists and by Dr Amir Tarki, who is definitely the best dental surgeon, ever. SM Applegateโ
โHighly recommend Kent Smile Studio Orpington. Amir Tarki is an excellent dentist who is caring , friendly, polite and highly professional . Hayley, hygienist, is also excellent and Maxine at reception is always friendly and super.โ
โExcellent service as always by hygienist Hayley Johnson at Kent Smile Studio Orpington would thoroughly recommend them to anyone and always a warm friendly atmosphere and a very professional service.โ
โPunctual calm and efficient both dentist and hygienist enabled me to be confident and relax even though I am almost phobic about dental treatment I can approach next appt without tension.โ
โMy experiences at this dentist have been nothing but very good. I needed quite a lot of work done, including some extractions. All the staff are very good. When I had the extractions I didn't even feel them! Good hygienist and gum health specialist too.โ
โI have had exceptional treatment from all the staff here. I am especially grateful for Dr Melody Prado and Hygienist Zahir Jiwan. Their advice and treatment was exceptional. I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone.โ
โI am a very nervous patient but everyone at Kent Smile Studio puts me at ease. The Dentists and Hygienists are very considerate and gentle but very thorough. I would highly recommend this Dental Practice.โ
โEvery 6 months I go to Chris Arnold for my hygienist appointment, Chris is lovely and always welcoming at appointments, heโs lovely to talk to and always makes me at ease when having my appointment and he always explains whatโs happening throughout and always giving me great advice and steps. Thank you again.โ
โOur family registered with Paras at Kent Smile studio in Walderslade and itโs been such a great experience from the first appointment. Our daughter needed emergency treatment last week and the staff couldnโt do enough to help, staying on after hours and even phoning to checkup with us the following day. The hygienist is very thorough and professional and I...โwould recommend Kent Smile Studio to anyone looking to register with new practice.โ
โI would highly recommend this Dental Surgery. I saw the hygienist Lisa on 15/1/24 who was excellent and saw the dentist Kieran on 17/1/24, I was impressed with excellent filling on my front tooth. All the staff were friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. Everything was explained clearly, my appointments were on time! What more can I...โsay, a great experience.โ
โI am an NHS patient at the Maidstone branch of Kent Smile Studios. I always receive 5 star service despite being an NHS patient by my dentist. My dentist Dr Melody Prado is so professional, thorough and kind. The dental nurses are also very caring and you will always be welcomed with a kind smile. I had a problem with my teeth that I...โtalked to Dr Prado about yesterday and she acted on it immediately and got me a referral straight away. I'm so happy with this as it something I've suffered with my whole life and it just took one conversation to be addressed, I'm so grateful. I also want to give me hygienist Linda Richardson an excellent review as well, she is so professional and gentle and I always leave with sparkling clean teeth after a visit. I do pay for this service privately with a plan but it's worth every penny. If you're considering joining Kent Smile Studio, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend.โ
โThe practice is always clean and tidy . Good access is you have a disability. Friendly welcome by the receptionists. My hygienist is so kind and patient with me as I'm not the best when having my teeth cleaned ..If I need any work doing they explain everything and always tell me the cost up front . Highly recommend for...โany one who needs a dentist.โ
โVisited for the first time yesterday.Christine Tang was my hygienist. I have to say that it was one of the best hygienist visits I have ever had. From start to finish I was treated respectfully by all staff, welcomed and politely spoken to. Ms Tang was wonderful, gently spoken and explained everything well. She was also incredibly patient...โwith her student present. She was considerate to me and mindful of my needs. My teeth have been cleaned very well and I had no pain during or after my treatment which has never happened before. All in all, I am very satisfied and look forward to my next appointment in December! Thank youโ
โI'm always made to feel at ease as soon as I arrive. Friendly, welcoming and understanding. Dr Jiun Liew is my dentist and Mr Z. Jiwan is my hygienist. They both take time to talk through procedures and check in with me at the start of the appointment. Would definitely recommend.โ
