Excellent oral health starts here

At Aviva Cosmetic Dentistry, dental hygiene is regarded as the foundation of exceptional, long-term oral health. We give it the same level of precision and importance as your routine dental examinations, recognising that truly beautiful smiles begin with healthy gums and a meticulously clean oral environment.

Regular hygiene appointments do more than maintain a polished appearance. They elevate your daily home-care routine by gently yet thoroughly cleaning areas that brushing and flossing alone cannot reach, helping to protect both natural teeth and cosmetic restorations.

Our highly trained, dual-skilled hygiene therapists deliver a comprehensive range of advanced treatments using the latest evidence-based techniques, including Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). This modern, minimally invasive approach focuses on the precise removal of harmful dental biofilm — the primary cause of gum disease — while prioritising comfort and preserving tooth structure.

Alongside professional cleaning, scaling, and polishing, our therapists provide carefully selected restorative and preventative treatments such as fillings and fissure sealants to protect against tooth decay. They are also fully qualified to carry out professional tooth whitening treatments, helping you achieve a brighter, healthier smile in a calm, safe, and controlled clinical environment.

Sharing expert advice

Your hygiene therapist at Aviva Cosmetic Dentistry is not only focused on professional treatment, but also on empowering you with personalised guidance to maintain exceptional oral health between visits. They will take the time to advise you on the most effective toothbrushing techniques for your individual needs, as well as recommend carefully selected products — such as floss, interdental brushes, or specialist toothbrushes — to enhance your daily home-care routine.

Every smile is unique, and your therapist will highlight specific areas of your mouth that may benefit from a little extra attention, helping you refine your technique and maximise results at home. This tailored, preventative approach supports healthier gums, protects cosmetic and restorative work, and ensures your smile continues to look and feel its best long after your appointment.

Patient Reviews

I went in to have my veneers replaced- after 12 years they weren’t looking so great.

From the online consultation, to the same-day procedure (totally painless and stress-free), Aviva were fantastic.

I had 100% confidence in Dr Caplan at all times, and my teeth have never looked better or more natural- there’s no way you could tell they’re veneers at this point which is exactly what I wanted. I’m a very happy customer indeed.

Absolutely first class!

Dr Caplan put me at complete ease, and discussed my options without being pushy.

I am over the moon with the results! Would highly recommend.

I would recommend this practice as it’s welcoming, it’s modern and the technology Julian uses is the best in the country!

The digital scanner that was used in my mouth to take the impressions of my teeth was painless and quick. It also meant that the imagery went straight to Invisalign and the whole experience was seamless and very fast.

Everything was done in one day which I think is just amazing! Dr Caplan uses this latest technology, which I think is probably what enables it to be done in one day, painlessly and without discomfort at all.

I came along at about 8 / 8.30 one morning and the whole job was finished by about 4.30/5 o’clock.

I would certainly recommend this practice and I have recommended it to many friends and family because I believe it’s probably the best place to come if you want to improve everything about your teeth from a smile perspective and probably from a medical perspective.

“I found it uncomfortable to eat because of two fractured teeth, so I had implants to replace them.

After having the implants I was able to eat again and had no discomfort!

Since then everything has been well, and I have the knowledge that they’ll last for many years.”

Brilliant! My disgusting white and metal crown has been removed with no pain, no hassle and replaced with a beautiful looking Cerec crown.

Nervous patient, no reason to be. Proactively going to crown another tooth as the experience was so good.
