Dental implants are the very best replacement for missing teeth. They can be used in single, multiple and all missing teeth cases. However, the key to success is careful planning and analysis. Our case below highlights a single missing tooth at the front due to an accident.
Our case of the month is a fantastic tooth whitening case. The treatment involved using custom made tooth whitening trays and 6% hydrogen peroxide gel from Philips Zoom. Please view the before and after photographs:

A smile transformation does not necessarily involve a mouth full of porcelain veneers and crowns. In our case study below, the smile transformation was completed with a cosmetic denture. Please view the photographs to see what a difference new teeth can make.
A recent study by the European Commission has recommended phasing out the use of dental amalgam owing to mercury's negative impact on the environment. The study also stated that some dentists are ''reluctant to change their current practice and invest in new equipment to handle mercury free fillings''.
At Progressive Dentistry, we do NOT use any mercury containing metal fillings. Dr Nissit Patel says '' I would not want a metal filling placed in my mouth or in my children so I will certainly not consider placing them for my patients. With modern dentistry and the development of adhesive dentistry, white tooth coloured restorations can be placed predictably and safely with fantastic aesthetic results.'' The options vary from direct composite fillings, to indirect porcelain fillings and crowns. We constantly invest in the latest technology and materials, to offer our patients the very best in dentistry today.
If you would like to change your metal fillings, please contact us today. You may be surprised at what we can offer.
Our case of the month for September is a smile transformation involving porcelain veneers, adhesive bridgework, tooth whitening and composite bonding. Our patient came to us after years for deliberating to transform his smile. He would never show his teeth for photographs or even when speaking. The difference is amazing. Please view the photographs and see for yourself.
Teeth straightening in the past involved metal train tracks which were uncomfortable and visible! Modern dentistry and the latest techniques means that teeth can be straightened discreetly, comfortably and quickly. Our case study below highlights such an example. Please view the photographs below:
We strongly believe that cosmetic dentistry should be minimally invasive and kind to teeth and gums. Using the very latest technology combined with the advanced training taken by our dentists, dental excellence can be achieved. An example of cosmetic dental excellence is presented below. Our patient wanted a more aesthetic smile after years of hiding her teeth. As the pictures demonstrate, a wonderful result was achieved which was completely non invasive and pain free.
Invisible braces are one the most popular cosmetic treatments available. Having straight teeth can enhance a smile dramatically which in turn will have a major cosmetic effect and improve confidence no end. Below is a case where our patient would not smile for photographs and would constantly hide the teeth. Dr Nissit Patel transformed the smile with an invisible lingual brace.
