The Dental Hygiene Clinic

The Dental Hygiene Clinic was opened in 2015 by founding hygienist Jennifer Lynch, initially as a Direct Access Dental Hygienist service, but the clinic now provides a full range of preventative, general and cosmetic dental treatments.

Patients are free to choose whether they attend for hygienist services only, or, if they require all of their dental needs to be looked after in the same premises, they can receive exceptional dental care by Dr Nikoletta Kafantari and Dr Hoosna Hudson. 

Dr Nikoletta Kafantari also accepts referrals from dentists throughout Sussex for Root Canal Treatments. 

Dr Hoosna Hudson has been a certified Invisalign® clear aligner provider since 2009, and offers free suitability consultations.
