Today is the first of July and summer is in full swing. Wimbledon is around the corner, the Lions have just beaten the All Blacks and it's party season. Why not freshen up your smile with tooth whitening? After all, a beaming smile shows confidence, health and beauty! Here are the options:
 

1. Philips ZOOM LED in surgery whitening. By far and away our best technique; this will provide instant results. After 90 minutes of treatment, you will have a visibly whiter smile which is easy to maintain. We provide a take home kit as part of the package. All for just £499, a steal.
2. Take home kit. If you would prefer to just use a take home kit, one hour of the day is all that is needed for 14 days. We use Philips ZOOM Daywhite 6% HP gel for the best results. Only £275 for a full kit,
3. Oral B White strips. For a simple, quick top up or stain removal, use these disposable strips for one hour of the day. Each pack contains 28 strips.

Everyone deserves white teeth; book your self in today.

Today is the summer solstice; the longest day of the year. It is also the hottest day on record since 1976. Phew! Aside from that, we would like to discuss a very cool treatment- cosmetic bonding. Never heard of it? Well, let us explain in 5 simple ways:
 

1. Cosmetic bonding can correct mis shaped, uneven, spaced teeth in ONE visit
2. The treatment requires NO drilling of your teeth
3. There is NO need for any needles
4. It is reversible
5. It is affordable

Cosmetic bonding involves very careful layered placement of highly aesthetic composite white filling material which is then contoured and polished meticulously. It is easier to see with your own eyes:
 

One of our favourite treatments is cosmetic bonding. We can create stunning smiles in just one appointment, without drilling your teeth, without needles and without any pain. What's more, the treatment is far more affordable than porcelain veneers for example. What is involved? Cosmetic bonding can be explained in 5 simple steps:
 

1. Full clinical examination (of course!!)
2. Photographs and possibly a diagnostic wax up of the proposed new shape of your teeth
3. Mock up to visualise the end result
4. Cosmetic bonding completed using the latest high tech composite white fillings
5. Monitoring and maintenance

For the best result, we advise tooth whitening prior to cosmetic bonding. The gold standard is Philips ZOOM LED in surgery whitening followed by a period of home whitening.

Breaking news! We are finalists at the Probe Dental Awards for Practice of the Year South 2017. The Dental Awards are the original and most respected awards programme in UK dentistry.

We are often asked "how much is an implant?" or " I am missing a few teeth, how much will it cost?" Our answer to this is it all depends on the planning. To provide the very best treatment, care and thought must go into the planning. After all, we are all different with varying needs and circumstances. One size does not fit all. Here are the steps to implant planning and treatment:
 

1. Full clinical examination including x rays and study models
2. CT scan(s)
3. Digital virtual planning on software including the anticipated end result
4. Fabrication of a surgical stent to ensure correct placement of implant(s)
5. Placement of implant(s)
6. Healing phase
7. Temporary phase with crowns, bridges or dentures as required
8. Definitive phase with final crown(s), bridge or denture

As can be seen, each stage takes time and, yes, money. Cheap dental implants simply do not exist; be very wary of cut price treatment! If you would like a FREE consultation and discussion on dental implants with our expert, Dr Nissit Patel, please call us.

Are you planning your big day this year? If so, congratulations! You will have a lot to plan but don't forget one of the most important parts- your wedding smile. After all, the most beautiful thing you can wear is a beaming smile. Look back on your wedding photos with pride and happiness. We have all the tools to make sure you have a wonderful, straight and white smile for your wedding but there are time factors to consider. Here is our guide to achieving the wedding smile of your dreams:
 

1. Hygiene and stain removal. Cleaning all the plaque bacteria and staining from your teeth will instantly freshen your breath and enhance your smile. After all, bad breath on your wedding day is a big no no!
2. Teeth straightening. Having lovely straight teeth makes a huge difference. With our amazing teeth straightening options, we can offer results within a few weeks rather than years. The quickest options are generally Social 6 lingual braces, aligners, fixed outside braces and the Inman aligner.
3. Teeth whitening. White teeth on the big day is a must. Our best technique is Philips ZOOM LED followed by a take home kit. The results have been fantastic.
4. Cosmetic bonding. Uneven, chipped, crooked and small gaps can be fixed using composite bonding. We have developed techniques which are NON invasive and require NO drilling of your teeth, all in one appointment.
5. Laser gum surgery. Uneven gums can look very strange. Laser surgery using our the Waterlase i Plus is minimally invasive and produces results instantly. The difference can be mind blowing.

If you wedding is in a few months, please contact us as soon as possible. Don't leave it until it is too late! We can give you a smile of your dreams in only a few weeks, with minimal fuss and at an affordable price.
