We are delighted to announce that dental hygiene appointments are now available on Saturday mornings. Our dental hygiene appointment inlcudes the very latest stain removal techniques using a jet air polish, for that sparkle finish. 

By removing everyday dietary stains from tea, coffee, smoking and curries for example, teeth can look instantly whiter and fresher. So start the weekend with a cleaner, whiter and fresher mouth and book a hygiene appointment today. 

Our first available Saturday hygiene appointment is on 23rd July and availability is limited, so book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Dental hygiene is crucial for not only oral health but also overall health. Many studies are now finding a link between poor oral hygiene and systemic disease such as heart disease, stroke and cardiovascular disease. A study last year by the University of California showed that women who regularly visited their dentist and hygienist could reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease by up to one third. See leading author Timothy Brown comments of the report here. 

The British Dental Health Foundation warned that gum disease could be a much bigger problem than previously thought and stressed that people need to be made more aware of the condition. The good news is that gum disease is on the whole, a treatable and manageable condition. Our dental Hygienist and Therapist is an expert in managing simple and complex gum problems. She will show you the best way to manage your dental hygiene at home, which is the key to success. 

So why wait for symptoms, call us today and book your dental and hygiene appointment today.

The latest version of Invisalign is now available. There are significant benefits of the latest version with greater applicability, predictability and usability. The great advantage of Invisalign braces are that they are removable. 

Therefore they will not have an impact on oral hygiene, which is crucial when undergoing orthodontic treatment but also in everyday life. They can also be removed for social occasions and work related activities for example. If you have thought about Invisalign braces in the past, there is no better time to join over 1.8million people worldwide and straighten your teeth with this fantastic system. 

If you have any questions on Invisalign braces, please contact Paula our Practice Manager at our Fulham dental practice on 020 7731 1162 . She is currently undergoing treatment with Invisalign and has experienced some fantastic results.

The event of the year is taking place today, the Royal wedding of Catherine and William. What you may not have realised over the past few months is that Catherine has been wearing lingual braces to straighten her teeth the totally invisible way. Lingual braces are fitted on the inside of the teeth and this means that they are the only purely invisible brace. The brackets have a special low profile so that they are comfortable and easy to wear. The added advantage of a fixed lingual brace is that you have peace of mind that the specially designed brace is constantly working. We undertake a full range of cosmetic lingual braces to create a new smile, form very simple alignment to more advanced corrections. Our specialist laboratory, Wired orthodontics, are experts in the field and provide a diagnostic set up model to show you the final anticipated results. This enable us to plan your case carefully to achieve the best results possible. A case below demonstrates a social 6 brace in action. The results can be seen very quickly.
 

Our next case involved two front teeth which had two crowns. The patient was unhappy with the colour, shape and overall appearance of them. The main request was to provide a natural replacement. Front teeth are the first point of eye contact and as such extremely important in cosmetic dentistry. A number of factors must be assessed before treatment can begin and this starts with thorough planning. Initially, study models were prescribed and a diagnostic wax up. This is to enable the patient to see the anticipated final shape and contour of the crowns and compare them with the current situation. The wax up will also be used as the template for the final crowns and for the temporary crowns. The following photographs show how we dramatically improved the situation with cosmetic dentistry.
 

We are delighted to announce that Dr Nissit Patel received the prestigious title of Best Young Dentist in London 2010 at the Dentistry Awards, which were held on Friday 10th December.

We aim to improve our services to our patients next year and strive to provide the very best patient care possible.

We have some exciting new advances to announce in 2011, so watch this space!
