We would like to think we are one of London's best cosmetic and general dentists. Our ethos is minimally invasive, kind dentistry that promotes healing and is biocompatible with the human body. The the past, cosmetic dentistry meant one thing- the Hollywood smile and cutting down teeth for super white veneers. Those days have past thankfully. Modern day dental care means that we can transform a smile without cutting, drilling, needles and any pain. What's more, these techniques are far less costly. No brainer! Just take a look at a prime example:
 

Our case of the month for May is a cosmetic bonding case which transformed the smile of our patient in just one 60 minute appointment.

There are literally hundreds of dentists in London and choosing the best dentist in London for you can be a daunting task. We have 5 key factors which will help you to make the decision:
 

1. Credentials: It is important to look for experience, post graduate qualifications and continuing education. Dentistry is an ever changing profession with major differences between basic and advanced dental care. Make sure your dentist is properly trained and well thought of in the profession.
2. Case studies: Ask to see case photographs of similar treatments and even ask to speak to some of the patients. Although dentists cannot relay patient information, happy clients will to keen to share their experiences with others.
3. Reviews: Look for reviews on sites such as Google . These require verification and are hard to falsify.
4. Technology: The best dentists in London and the UK will have invested in the very best technology and materials. This could be from simple composite filling material to digital x rays to the most sophisticated dental lasers.
5. Getting on with the team: It is important to get on with your dentist and the entire staff. After all, dentistry is a team affair and communication is often the key to a successful long term relationship.

Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth- even ones that were lost many years ago. In the future, we may be able to grow new teeth but for now implants are the solution. Our case study involves teeth that were taken out a few years ago and replaced with implants:

We can then produce dental braces which are bespoke for your teeth including the orthodontic wires and a treatment plan which is finely tuned to produce the best end result in the quickest time frame. Our case shows how beautifully Insignia can work and what a difference the treatment can have. Just take a look at the before and after photographs; you will be amazed!

St Patrick's Day is commonly associated with a few drinks and general merriment. However, excess can result in trauma to your teeth in several ways. For example, a company in the USA did a survey last year straight after St Patricks Day and found that the attendance to dental practices increased by up to 64%!

Injuries included fractured front teeth, damage from 'face planting', teeth sensitivity, damaged crowns and chipped fillings. Moderation is the key! Not only is there the issue of trauma to teeth after a heavy night but alcohol has a direct effect on teeth as well as general health, which we will now discuss: 
 

As our name suggests, we are a forward thinking and innovative practice. In modern day life, technology is evolving at an almost alarming rate. Most of the changes are an improvement and enhance our quality of life. Dental care should be no different. Modern day dentistry is a world apart from the days of dreaded dental care. For example, laser dentistry. We have invested in the Waterlase i Plus 2.0 which has replaced the scalpel in our practice. Here is what Dr Nissit Patel has to say about the Waterlase i Plus: 'Since we have acquired the Waterlase i Plus, I have not needed to use a scalpel for my surgical work. The laser is far less invasive, there is far less bleeding and the recovery time is much reduced. The feedback from patients is overwhelmingly positive. I have recently used the laser to place a dental implant and did not need to use any stitches at all. Here is a photograph of the dental implant immediately after placement:
