Dentists West Hampstead

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.

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.

Composite bonding, also known as tooth contouring, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. It is a quick solution to improve the teeth’s appearance. The treatment involves applying a restorative material, the so-called composite resin, to the tooth or tooth surface. The material comes in a variety of shades to match your natural teeth. Our cosmetic dentist is able to match the shade, translucency, and texture of your natural tooth. Our dentist works only with the outer enamel which has no sensation, in other words, the process is pain-free.

Sinus Lift: a rare oral surgical procedure, sinus lifts are performed only on the upper jaw and on the teeth near the sinus cavity. If an upper canine has been missing for a long time, the tissue between the sinuses and the oral cavity will become thinner and unable to house a dental implant. In these cases, the dental implants may actually poke out into the sinus cavity. This is unhealthy and potentially dangerous, leading to a higher risk of infections. This is where a sinus lift comes in. It is the surgical augmentation of the sinuses, making them somewhat smaller and providing a layer where the dental implant can be housed in. The procedure is fairly simple. It takes roughly 45 minutes and involves invasive oral surgery. One of the upper quadrants will be opened while you are under local anaesthesia. After that, your dentist will insert some bone grafting material into the bottom of the sinus cavity, which will later integrate and make your bone grow and strengthen. The entire area will be sewn shut, and you will be left to heal for around six months
