It is a well-known fact that healthy gums are vital for a healthy mouth. It is also becoming more and more evident that having a healthy mouth is vital for overall health. For example, did you know that the following conditions may be caused or made worse by poor dental health:

1. Heart disease 
 

2. Stroke 
 

3. Diabetes 
 

4. Giving birth to a low birth weight or premature baby 
 

5. Respiratory disease 

Visiting the dentist and dental hygienist on a regular basis will minimise the risk of gum disease and its associated problems. Dental hygiene requires dedicated attention. A simple 5-minute scale is not good enough. Thorough removal of plaque bacteria above and below the gum line is required. This should take at least 30 minutes and is longer for more advanced disease. Gum disease never goes away and must be stabilised for life. Developing a relationship with your dentist and dental hygienist, who understand your needs, will lead to healthy gums for life and a healthy body.

We strive for excellence in everything that we do. Our case study today demonstrates this.

The original situation involved worn, discoloured teeth with gum recession and spaces. Our Principal dentist Dr Nissit Patel transformed the smile with minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry involving ultra thin porcelain veneers. Please view the photographs to view the fantastic result:

Our case of the month involves a smile transformation using the latest minimally invasive techniques. This involved alignment, tooth whitening and ultra thin porcelain veneers.
 

Our next case study highlights the expert treatment that we offer. To transform a smile, modern cosmetic dentistry should be minimally invasive. This way, the underlying teeth are kept healthy with no risk of biological damage. Why cut when you can align and bond?

Our patient presented with a tooth which was hidden from view. This was a complex case due to various factors, but our expert dentist, Dr Nissit Patel had the answers the problem. The photographs demonstrate the smile transformation:
 

Our case study today demonstrates the effect that invisible braces can have. The original scenario was a patient with crooked teeth who was unwilling to smile. After only a few months of invisible braces, the smile was transformed resulting in a beaming smile! The before and after photographs highlight the excellent result achieved.
 

We believe in creating beautiful smiles using the least invasive techniques possible. The overall results can be truly outstanding. We have developed a fantastic technique called ABC: A is for alignment with Invisible braces B is for bleaching C is for cosmetic bonding This technique involves NO needles, NO drilling, NO irrveresible procedures that can harm your teeth and gums. Below is a typical case which was recently completed by Dr Nissit Patel.
 

The case of the month for January involves a fantastic smile transformation. Initially our patient presented with severe tooth wear, discolouration and crowding. Dr Nissit Patel initially aligned the teeth with the Inman aligner. A course of tooth whitening was then undertaken with wonderful results. Finally, 6 ultra thin porcelain veneers were placed to transform and rejuvenate the smile. Here are the before and after photographs:
 

Dental implants are the gold standard to replace missing teeth so why follow the PIP scandal? Whether you have one, several or all missing teeth, dental implants can provide you with a long lasting and natural solution. If you are considering dental implants, we urge you to research which dental implants are going to be used.

Only choose a dental implant system which is backed by extensive research over many years. Look at the websites of the companies and read about the research involved in the dental implants and their latest products. 

We are strongly against techniques that are not evidence based. It may be tempting to choose an implant that is 1/3 or 1/2 the price which your own dentist offers, but we would urge you to choose a well known company, a skilled and experienced dentist and a dental practice that offers personal care dedicated to your needs. 

Dr Nissit Patel only uses the very best materials in all aspects of dentistry including dental implants. For a free quick consultation or chat on dental implants, call us on 0207 7311162.
