Teeth Contouring and Reshaping Regent Street

ZOOM3

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.

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.

Teeth Contouring and Reshaping at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6 Teeth contouring and reshaping is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental treatment used to refine the shape, length and appearance of selected teeth. Small amounts of enamel may be carefully adjusted to smooth uneven edges, improve symmetry and create a more balanced, natural-looking smile. This treatment may be suitable for patients with minor chips, slightly uneven incisal edges, pointed teeth, small shape irregularities or teeth that appear slightly longer than neighbouring teeth. It may also be used as part of a wider smile makeover, following clear aligner treatment or alongside composite bonding. The procedure is usually completed without injections and may often be carried out during a single appointment. Before treatment, the dentist will assess the teeth, enamel thickness, bite and overall smile to confirm that contouring is clinically appropriate and safe.

Dentist Consultation at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6 A dentist consultation is the first step towards understanding your oral health and planning the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs. At Medical Dental Spa, every consultation is personalised and focused on your concerns, priorities and long-term dental health. During the appointment, the dentist will discuss your dental history, current symptoms, previous treatment and any cosmetic or functional concerns. A thorough examination of the teeth, gums, bite and surrounding oral tissues will then be carried out. Dental X-rays, photographs, digital scans or CBCT imaging may be recommended where clinically necessary. Following the assessment, you will receive a personalised treatment plan explaining the findings, available treatment options, recommended sequence of care and expected costs. The dentist will also discuss suitable alternatives, timescales and any advantages or limitations of each option, allowing you to make an informed decision. Your treatment plan may include preventive care, hygiene treatment, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, crowns, bridges, implants, clear aligners, whitening, composite bonding or other cosmetic and restorative procedures, depending on your individual needs. We aim to provide clear, honest and practical advice without pressure. Where treatment is complex, it may be divided into manageable stages based on clinical priorities, your schedule and your budget. Dentist consultations are available at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6, including evening and weekend appointments.

Clear retainers at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6. Custom-made clear retainers help keep teeth in their new position after clear aligner treatment or fixed braces. They may also be suitable for patients who have lost or damaged their previous retainer or noticed that it no longer fits correctly. We use a digital scan to create a precise and comfortable clear retainer tailored to your teeth. Once the retainer is ready, we check the fit and provide advice on wear, cleaning and long-term maintenance. Replacement clear retainers are available for new and existing patients. If your retainer has been lost, cracked, damaged or feels too tight, arrange an assessment as soon as possible, as teeth may gradually begin to move without regular retainer wear. Clear retainer appointments are available at our dental clinic in West Hampstead, London NW6, including evening and weekend appointments.

Porcelain Inlay or Onlay at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6A porcelain inlay or onlay is a custom-made dental restoration used to repair a tooth affected by decay, fracture, wear or a large damaged filling. It may be recommended when a standard filling would not provide enough strength, but a full dental crown is not necessary.An inlay fits within the central part of the tooth, while an onlay covers one or more of the biting cusps. This allows the dentist to restore the damaged area while preserving as much healthy natural tooth structure as possible.Porcelain restorations are selected for their durability, smooth surface and natural appearance. The shade, shape and translucency can be carefully matched to the surrounding teeth, creating a discreet, metal-free restoration.Treatment begins with a detailed dental assessment and, where clinically required, an X-ray. The damaged filling, decay or weakened tooth structure is carefully removed, and the tooth is prepared conservatively. A precise digital intraoral scan is then taken to record the prepared tooth, neighbouring teeth and bite. The scan is securely sent to a dental laboratory, where the porcelain inlay or onlay is individually designed and manufactured. A temporary restoration may be placed while the final porcelain restoration is being prepared. At the fitting appointment, the dentist checks the fit, margins, contact points, shade and bite before securely bonding the restoration to the tooth. Porcelain inlays and onlays may be suitable for teeth with large failing fillings, fractured cusps, extensive decay or insufficient remaining structure for a conventional filling. The most appropriate option depends on the position of the tooth, the amount of healthy enamel remaining, the patient’s bite and the extent of the damage. Porcelain inlays and onlays are available at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6, including evening and weekend appointments.
