Orthodontic Retainer  
An orthodontic retainer is a device used after orthodontic treatment to help maintain the position of the teeth and prevent them from shifting back. Retainers are custom-made to fit the individual patient's teeth. They are usually made of plastic or a combination of plastic and wire. There are two main types of orthodontic retainers: fixed and removable. Fixed retainers consist of a thin wire bonded to the back of the teeth, commonly on the lower front teeth. This wire is invisible from the front and is designed to remain in place for several years or even permanently. Removable retainers can be taken out by the patient for cleaning and eating. They are usually made of clear plastic or acrylic and fit over the teeth like a mouthguard. Patients will be instructed to wear their removable retainers day or night, depending on the recommendation of their orthodontist. Orthodontic retainers are an important part of orthodontic treatment as they maintain the results achieved by braces or other orthodontic appliances. Patients must follow the instructions of their orthodontist regarding the wear and care of their retainers to prevent the teeth from shifting and the need for additional orthodontic treatment.
Dentist Consultation £60 - £200
A dental consultation is the first meeting with our dental staff. They will examine your mouth to diagnose any issues and create a treatment plan for you. This plan will outline the treatments the dentist recommends. During the consultation, you'll get to know your dentist and ask any questions you may have. This is important because, without a consultation, the dentist can't proceed with any treatment. The consultation is the basis for the dentist to understand the issues with your teeth, what treatment is necessary, and the cost of the treatment. This information is written down in a treatment plan, which is essential for both the dentist and the patient. The consultation allows you to ask any questions and express any concerns you may have. This helps you make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the treatment. Your first consultation with your dentist may take a little longer than the usual 45 minutes. During this time, your dentist will ask about your medical history, so it's important to be honest. They will also examine your teeth and may even check the soft tissues of your mouth to ensure everything is in good condition and make a proper diagnosis. However, no treatment will start without further discussion with your dentist.
Hygienist Session £85 - £105
Periodontist Consultation from £200
Our periodontist is a specialist dentist that only carries out gum treatments, and can help to reverse the damage caused by gum disease. Dr Claudia Brown is highly respected in the field and has years of practical experience. Many clinics and dentists recommend patients to her. Dr Brown always performs an in-depth examination and works with the latest materials and equipment. For example, some cases are treated with a Waterlase laser, the technology very few in the UK can offer.

Fillings from £135
A tooth filling is a basic reconstructive dental procedure. The most basic unit of conservative dentistry, tooth fillings, is a dental procedure that everyone has heard about. Around 75-80% of adults have tooth fillings, so it is the most popular and well-known method of trying to preserve teeth and heal them back to functionality. They are used before problems with the teeth become severe but when intervention is already needed. They basically seal off the damaged tooth and repair it so that it can be used again without fear of further damage. Dental fillings can become necessary despite a vigorous at-home oral hygiene routine. Composite fillings are tiny pieces of composite resin that are inserted into a cavity on a tooth to seal it off later and to prevent the tooth enamel from decaying further. Getting a dental filling takes about half an hour to about an hour and a half, depending on how damaged the tooth is, where the cavity is, and how easy it is to get to. Amalgam fillings are bad news because they can cause brain damage and cancer and can constantly weaken the immune system slightly, thus making you overall more prone to infections and less able to fight off microbes and infections. The fillings we use instead are made of a composite artificial resin. This material hardens and sticks to teeth, does not lose weight like amalgam fillings, and does not leach mercury.

Her attention to detail and genuine follow-ups when needed make all the differenceShivu, UK, 09 04 25

I had a fantastic experience at Oaks Dental Ruislip. The team here, from the dentists to the hygienists, are incredibly friendly, professional, and dedicated to making every visit a comfortable one. A special mention to Dr. Ramona—she is an amazing dentist who truly cares for her patients. Her attention to detail and genuine follow-ups when needed make all the difference. The practice manager and reception staff are equally outstanding. They go above and beyond to accommodate patients efficiently and always listen to their concerns in a professional and empathetic manner. The recent refurbishments are stunning—the practice feels fresh, modern, and welcoming. I also really appreciated the soothing music in the waiting area; it created a calm and relaxing atmosphere that made a big difference for me. I can't recommend Oaks Dental Ruislip enough. They truly go above and beyond to provide excellent care and ensure their patients feel at ease.
