Fluoride treatments at London Dental Specialists offer essential protection against tooth decay and cavities. Our expert dentists apply professional-grade fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel, enhancing its resistance to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria. This preventive dentistry measure is a cornerstone of good oral health, particularly beneficial for children and adults at high risk of dental caries.

During your routine dental exam or cleaning, our skilled hygienists can quickly and painlessly apply fluoride varnish, gel, or foam to your teeth. This concentrated dose of fluoride works to remineralise weakened areas of enamel, effectively reversing early stages of tooth decay. For optimal results, we recommend fluoride treatments as part of your regular dental check-ups.

Our paediatric dentistry specialists particularly emphasise the importance of fluoride treatments for children, whose developing teeth benefit greatly from this extra layer of protection. However, adults can also reap significant rewards from fluoride therapy, especially those prone to cavities or with existing dental work.

London Dental Specialists' commitment to preventive care extends beyond fluoride treatments. We offer comprehensive oral health assessments, professional dental cleaning, and personalised advice on plaque control and dental hygiene practices. Our goal is to help you maintain a healthy, cavity-free smile for life.

Dental sealants are a powerful tool in tooth decay prevention, offering a protective plastic coating for teeth. London Dental Specialists' expert periodontist applies this painless dental procedure to shield back teeth from cavity formation. The resin-based tooth coating acts as a barrier, safeguarding the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars.

This preventive dental care measure is particularly effective for children's dental hygiene, though adult dental sealants are also available. The fissure sealants fill in the deep grooves and pits on tooth enamel, creating a smooth surface that's easier to clean and less prone to trapping food particles.

The dental sealant application process is quick, comfortable, and requires no drilling or removal of tooth structure. It's an essential part of oral health maintenance, especially for those prone to dental caries. The sealants can last for several years with proper care, providing long-term protection against tooth decay.

At London Dental Specialists, we prioritise preventive treatments like dental sealants to help our patients maintain optimal oral health. Our state-of-the-art clinic in London offers this and other advanced dental services, all delivered with the highest standards of care and expertise.

This permanent appliance bridges the gap left by absent teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Our skilled periodontist, endodontist, and orthodontist collaborate to create a prosthetic device that blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.

A dental bridge consists of a false tooth, called a pontic, suspended between two crowns that anchor to your abutment teeth. This fixed solution not only enhances your smile but also improves chewing function and maintains oral health. By preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting, bridges help preserve your natural bite and jawbone integrity.

Our advanced techniques ensure a comfortable fit along your gum line, minimising sensitivity and maximising longevity. With proper care, your dental bridge can have an impressive lifespan, rivalling that of natural teeth. For patients with insufficient abutment teeth, we offer alternatives such as dental implants to secure the bridge, providing a robust foundation directly in the jawbone.

Inlays and onlays are precision-crafted dental restorations, expertly designed to repair tooth decay and damage whilst preserving more natural tooth structure than traditional fillings. These custom-fit prosthetics, meticulously created by London Dental Specialists' skilled periodontist, endodontist, and orthodontist, offer a robust alternative to dental crowns for patients seeking long-lasting tooth repair.

Crafted from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, inlays and onlays provide superior strength and aesthetics compared to conventional dental fillings.

London Dental Specialists utilises advanced 3D imaging and digital impressions to ensure a perfect fit, seamlessly bonding the inlay or onlay to your tooth for optimal comfort and function. This innovative approach to restorative dentistry not only preserves more of your natural tooth but also offers enhanced longevity compared to traditional composite restorations.

London Dental Specialists provides both partial and complete dentures, tailored to meet your individual needs and oral health requirements.

Our expert prosthodontists craft dentures that closely mimic natural teeth and gums, ensuring a comfortable fit and seamless appearance. Partial dentures are ideal for patients with some remaining natural teeth, while complete dentures offer a full arch replacement for those missing all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.

The process of getting dentures involves several appointments to ensure the perfect fit and aesthetic. Our dental care team takes precise measurements and impressions of your mouth, allowing for the creation of custom-made false teeth that blend seamlessly with your facial features and any remaining natural teeth.

Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before, thanks to advancements in dental materials and technology. They not only improve your ability to eat and speak but also support your facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance often associated with tooth loss.

We prioritise patient safety, employing rigorous infection control measures and maintaining state-of-the-art facilities.

Trust London Dental Specialists to provide expert care for your child's developing smile. Our space maintainers are a testament to our commitment to excellence in paediatric dentistry and orthodontics, helping to lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful teeth.

London Dental Specialists offers expert habit-breaking appliances, designed to address harmful oral habits in children. These innovative devices target thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and lip biting, promoting healthier dental development and jaw growth.

Our skilled paediatric dentists employ both fixed and removable appliances, tailored to each child's needs. The palatal crib, a common fixed appliance, effectively discourages thumb sucking and tongue thrusting, while removable options like labial shields combat lip biting.

Early intervention with habit-breaking appliances is crucial for preventive dentistry, safeguarding tooth alignment and overall dental health. Our team of specialists, including a dedicated orthodontist, ensures comprehensive care and seamless integration with potential future orthodontic treatments.

These appliances play a vital role in children's dentistry, correcting oral habits that may lead to long-term dental issues. By addressing these concerns early, we help ensure proper jaw development and reduce the need for extensive orthodontic work later in life.

Trust London Dental Specialists to provide gentle, effective solutions for breaking harmful dental habits, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

London Dental Specialists offers expert Early Orthodontic Assessment, a crucial service for young patients' dental development. Our skilled orthodontist conducts comprehensive orthodontic evaluations, focusing on interceptive orthodontics to address potential issues early. This proactive approach often minimises the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later in life.

During the assessment, our specialist performs a thorough dental examination, utilising state-of-the-art orthodontic imaging and dental X-rays to evaluate jaw development and bite alignment. We analyse tooth development patterns and conduct mixed dentition analysis to predict future dental arch growth.

Our team assesses facial aesthetics and identifies any dental anomalies that may require early intervention. This detailed orthodontic diagnosis informs our personalised orthodontic planning, ensuring each child receives tailored care for optimal results.

Should further treatment be necessary, we provide expert orthodontic referrals and maintain detailed orthodontic records for seamless care coordination. Our early intervention orthodontics aim to guide proper dental development, potentially simplifying future treatments and enhancing overall oral health.

At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to providing gentle, child-friendly care during these important assessments, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Our 5 Star Reviews related to General Dentistry

I highly recommend Dr Ope and London Dental Specislists. I had an implant and replaced two crowns that were 15 years old. He did a splendid job grafting me some fresh gum and performing the various steps over 8 visits. No pain and I am delighted with the end result. Ope has a super team and the location is 2 mins from the tube station. I could not be happier. Thank you Dr Ope

I had my gum graft operation done and I couldn't be more pleased. Words cannot express my gratitude. Dr.Ope is just amazing.

I went to the London Dental Specialists recently to have an implant crown fitted. As usual the team were all very friendly and talented and I now have a very nice new molar. I have been with Dr Ope and his team for ten years now and any treatment that he has recommended has always been a complete success. I cannot recommend the practice highly enough.

What does a general dentist typically handle in day-to-day practice?
A general dentist typically handles many dental procedures in their daily practice. This includes routine check-ups, teeth cleaning, and X-rays for preventive care. They also perform restorative work like fillings, crowns, and bridges. General dentists treat gum disease, extract teeth when necessary, and provide root canal therapy. They offer cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and dental veneers. Additionally, they educate patients on proper oral hygiene, diet, and habits that affect dental health. If needed, they refer patients to specialists for more complex procedures. At London Dental Specialists, our general dentists are equipped to handle these diverse daily tasks, ensuring comprehensive oral care for our patients.
What are the benefits of regular dental check-ups and cleanings?
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings offer numerous benefits:

1. Early detection of dental issues
2. Prevention of tooth decay and gum disease
3. Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar
4. Fresher breath and brighter smile
5. Cost-effective in the long run by avoiding significant treatments
6. Oral cancer screening

10. Preventing tooth loss

At London Dental Specialists, our general dentists provide comprehensive care, ensuring your oral health stays optimal through regular check-ups and professional cleanings.
How often should I visit a general dentist for routine check-ups?
Most dentists recommend routine check-ups every six months. However, some patients, such as those with gum disease or a high risk of cavities, may need more frequent visits. We tailor our preventive care to each patient's needs at London Dental Specialists. Regular check-ups allow us to catch potential issues early, perform professional cleanings, and maintain your oral health. If you have specific concerns or risk factors, we may suggest more frequent visits. Always consult your dentist to determine the best schedule for your needs.

3. Cosmetic dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding

1. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
2. Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
3. Use an antiseptic mouthwash

What are the potential long-term consequences of neglecting regular dental check-ups and cleanings?
Neglecting regular dental check-ups and cleanings can lead to serious long-term consequences. Tooth decay and gum disease may progress undetected, causing pain, infections, and tooth loss. Oral health issues can worsen, requiring more extensive and costly treatments like root canals or extractions. Poor oral hygiene is linked to systemic health problems, including heart disease and diabetes. Regular visits to London Dental Specialists for preventive care can catch issues early, maintain oral health, and save time and money in the long run. Don't risk your smile – schedule routine check-ups and cleanings to ensure a healthy mouth for life.
How do dental sealants work to protect teeth, and how long do they typically last?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They work by filling in the grooves and pits, creating a smooth surface that's easier to clean and resistant to decay. Sealants form a physical barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling in these vulnerable areas.

Typically, dental sealants last between 5 to 10 years. However, their longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, diet, and grinding habits. Regular dental check-ups allow dentists to monitor sealants and reapply if necessary.

At London Dental Specialists, we offer dental sealants as part of our preventive care services. Our experienced dentists can apply sealants quickly and painlessly, providing long-lasting protection against tooth decay for both children and adults.
