We celebrated our 15th birthday in style on the 6th December with a packed reception enjoying glasses of English Fizz from Kingscote, Denbies and Balfour winerys and food from Papa Ciccia's in Fulham. It was so nice to see patients who have been with us from the very beginning, new clients and new businesses from Fulham High Street attending.

Our charity raffle was a great success with the winners of some great prizes announced including ZOOM in surgery whitening, take home tooth whitening kits, Oral B electric toothbrushes, a Christmas hamper donated by our neighbour Dr Espresso, a case of High Water hard seltzer donated by the owner and one of our patients, Waterpik air floss units, bottles of English Sparkling wine and beer from Exeter Brewery! Phew, what a list. We managed to raise over £3000 for Alzheimer's Society, a brilliant team effort for a wonderful cause. 

What a journey it has been. Here's to another 15 years, cheers!

One of the most topical subjects at the moment is the debate between composite and porcelain for dental restorations. In terms of cosmetic dentistry, this equates to the use of composite veneers and porcelain veneers. It is important to note that composite veneers can either be made by a laboratory or placed free hand by the dentist in the chair. Porcelain veneers can only be made by a dental laboratory or within a dental practice that has the necessary technology such as computer aided design and a milling machine, otherwise know as CAD-CAM.

We are delighted to announce that Dr Nissit Patel was a finalist for Practice Principal of the Year for London at this years Private Dentistry Awards 2023. The Private Dentistry Awards is held every year in December to showcase the very best in private dental care throughout the UK. To be nominated as a finalist is a great achievement and testament to the dedication of all of the staff at the practice; after all it is all about the team. 

There was also cause for a double celebration with November marking 14 years as Practice Principal for Dr Nissit Patel. In 2009 the practice was barely open with a dilapidated premises, run on paper and with a poor reputation within the local community. The changes could not be more drastic with improvements made every year. We now boast a modern, fully digital practice with the latest technology including both types of dental laser, CBCT scanner, 2 intra oral scanners, surgical microscope, surgical ultrasonic and much more. Our team consists of two dentists, four dental hygiene/therapists, an endodontist, specialist Maxillofacial Surgeon, facial aesthetics medical practitioner and of course, our amazing Practice Manager and assistants. We're planning further investment and improvements for 2024, so watch this space! Stay tuned for exciting updates at our dental practice in Fulham.

It is difficult to estimate how much sugar an individual consumes over the Christmas holiday, as it can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as age, gender, diet, and activity level. However, it is generally accepted that the average person consumes more sugar during the holiday season than at other times of the year due to an increase in the consumption of sweet treats and beverages. After all, it is Christmas!
 

We are delighted to announce that Beata Kynsak has been awarded Best Dental Hygienist at the Dental Awards 2022! These awards are run by the Probe Magazine which has been in production for over 60 years. The fact that the award is a UK based one further magnifies the achievement and one that is well deserved.
 

Mouth cancer is on the rise in the UK with over 2,700 people dying from the disease last year. This is an increase of almost 50% compared to 10 years ago which is a huge increase. One of the main issues is that over 45% of all mouth cancers are diagnosed in the late stages which means that the survival rate is much lower than early diagnosis. Not only this, but treatment is often far less invasive when caught early on leading to a far higher quality of life. During each dental examination at Progressive Dentistry, we undertake a thorough analysis of mouth cancer but with check ups usually every 6 months, we are encouraging our patients to check their mouth once a month for signs of the dreadful disease.
