The dental cleaning session here by the Hygienist was far much better than a few other dental cleaning sessions I had before which the dentist couldn't be bothered to clean properly. Would definately go again.
The staff were friendly, the dentist was also very helpful - advising and updating me on what to do to keep my teeth clean at home. She also gave me a free tooth brush to trial out. I overall treatment took 30mins but the time flew by as Karen talked me through what she was doing.
As I left I met a lady who had just had her teeth whitened. After seeing her teeth I am seriously thinking about getting mine done next week. I would recommend Smilepod to anyone and I will go to them aagin soon.
I was a little dissapointed with my treatment as I had high expectations from the name "high gloss diamond teeth polish". The treatment actually involved scraping all the plaque/tartar from the teeth, which can cause quite a bit of sensitivity, and then polishing the teeth with bi-carbonate of soda, which leaves a lot of white residue all over the face. The therapist/dentist was very nice and gave me a lot of good advice about hot to clean behind my fixed retainers. I left with my teeth feeling a lot cleaner but there wasn't any real noticable change in colour or shiny-ness. I wouldn't pay the full £85 for this treament as I felt that I could have had the same treatment chepaer at my local hygenist/dentist but it was an advantage that the smilepod was literally acrtoss the street from where i work so took me less than a minute to get there.
Overall a good cleaning treatment and I think my deal was a good price, but when I rang to make the appointment they asked if I wanted an upgrade. I purchased this and was happy with the price however following treatment I am unsure what was additional to the original deal. Might have felt better value if it was explained as it was happening.
I work in the city and walked past smilepod i n my lunch hour last week. My dentist is in St Albans and I have been putting off going for a clean because I am so busy at work. When I went in to see what they offered I was impressed by their clear pricing structure and knowledgeable staff.
I opted for a high gloss diamond polish. Karen my dentist explained everything to me in great detail and made a great job of my teeth. She was so thorough and gentle.
They felt and looked great by the time she had finished. She then spent almost 15 minutes showing me how to keep them in good condition using an electric toothbrush called a sonicare. I have never have had such a good clean and I am now using my excellent new toothbrush to keep them as clean as I can. Thank you Karen for all your help
