Prevent gum disease and bad breath
Safe, gentle treatments tailored to you
Gum disease prevention.
Gingivitis and periodontitis can cause bleeding gums, bad breath, and tooth loss. Our hygienists spot early signs and intervene to protect your gum health.
Bad breath (halitosis).
Persistent bad breath often comes from bacteria trapped around teeth and gums. Professional cleaning removes the source and freshens your breath.
Keeping restorations clean.
We clean around crowns, bridges, implants and fillings to prevent plaque build-up that could cause inflammation or decay.
Why regular hygiene appointments at Red Lodge matter.
Dental hygiene visits do much more than clean your teeth. They play a vital role in preventing gum disease, controlling plaque and tartar, and supporting overall oral health.
Plaque and tartar build-up. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms daily. If not removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be cleaned professionally. Regular hygiene visits keep your teeth smooth and clean.
What to expect from a dental hygiene appointment at Red Lodge.
Dental hygiene appointments involve a thorough cleaning of your teeth, gums and tongue to remove plaque, tartar and stains. We use professional instruments to reach areas that brushing and flossing can’t. Your hygienist will also check for gum health and provide tailored advice to help you maintain a clean, healthy mouth at home.

Personalised care for your best smile.
At Red Lodge, we combine skilled hygienists with a friendly, attentive approach. You’ll get advice that suits your lifestyle and dental needs, helping you keep your smile healthy between visits.

There’s no upper age limit for a straighter smile. Many adults from across Suffolk, including Red Lodge, Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge, choose teeth straightening to boost confidence and improve oral health. If your teeth and gums are healthy, it’s never too late to start.
We offer discreet options like Invisalign, clear aligners and ceramic braces designed to blend naturally with your smile. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing treatment.
Treatment length varies depending on your individual needs. Many patients see noticeable results within 6 to 18 months. We’ll provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
Some mild pressure or soreness is normal, especially when your braces or aligners are adjusted. This usually passes quickly and means your teeth are moving as they should. Our team is here to support you through any discomfort.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Plus, many patients find it boosts their confidence and improves their bite and speech.
You’ll typically have regular check-ins every 6 to 8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We aim to keep visits convenient and efficient.
Yes, many of our patients find that straightening also improves bite issues like overbite, underbite or crossbite, helping with chewing function and overall oral health.
At Red Lodge Dental Surgery in Suffolk, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to meet your dental needs. This includes general dentistry like check-ups and fillings, cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and veneers, teeth straightening options including clear aligners and braces, dental implants to replace missing teeth, sedation dentistry for anxious patients, root canal therapy, surgical extractions, and more. Our goal is to provide personalised care tailored to your smile and health.
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and any specific needs you have, then recommend the most suitable treatment plan. We believe in clear communication and ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Most dental treatments are performed under local anaesthetic, which means you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure during or after treatment, but this usually passes quickly. For patients who feel anxious or sensitive, we offer sedation options to help you relax and have a comfortable experience.
Treatment durations vary widely depending on the procedure and your individual circumstances. For example, simple fillings can be completed in one appointment, while treatments like dental implants or orthodontics take longer and involve multiple visits. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline and explain each step before you begin.
Some treatments, such as routine check-ups and cleanings, usually require just one visit. More complex procedures like root canals, implants or teeth straightening often involve several appointments to ensure the best outcome. We strive to schedule your visits at convenient times and keep you fully informed throughout your treatment journey.
Your safety is our top priority. Our practice follows rigorous infection control protocols aligned with the latest health guidelines. We use modern sterilisation equipment, disposable tools where appropriate and maintain strict hygiene standards. Advanced technology such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging helps us diagnose and plan treatments accurately, reducing risks and improving comfort.
