Beating your dental fear

Many people do not seek a dentist until they are in extreme pain …….. 

when it’s too late.

Are you one of many people who are nervous about any aspects of dental treatment, like:

                

□ Gagging when an instrument is in your mouth?    

□ The scraping sound when teeth are being cleaned?

□ The noise of tooth being drilled for a filling?

□ Feeling out of control when a tooth is being removed or lying back in the chair?

□ Hate having an injection in your mouth?                

If so, FEAR NOT! We can help people with similar concerns or any other forms of dental fear. 

For such people there are different forms of dental sedation. This helps relieve their dental anxiety and feel confident about future dental visits.

There are many forms of dental sedation that are available:

1. Oral sedation – a tablet is swallowed an hour before the dental appointment which helps to calm the person before any dental work is started.

2. Intravenous sedation – for a very anxious person this form of sedation allows dental treatment to be carried out with ease.

3. Gas and air sedation – is usually best for children under 16.

4. Hypnotherapy – some people may find this form of relaxation helpful for certain dental procedures.

Above all, the fact that a helpful and friendly attitude of our dental team in Twickenham has been fantastic in making people feel very safe and comfortable, is of paramount importance.

Dental Implants to replace missing teeth

Daylight Robbbery - My front tooth is missing!

I want it back NOW.

There may be many reasons for missing teeth. Most commonly people loose them because of tooth decay, gum disease or unfortunate accidents and sometimes from birth.

How did you loose yours? Want to know what can be done?

Historically, the only solution for missing teeth was dentures. In some societies, dentures were provided as early as 21 years of age, leaving the person going through the rest of their life with false teeth. Can you just imagine socializing with false teeth?

Bridges are a perfect alternative where most healthy teeth are present. They are fixed that do not have to be removed at all. They look natural but need support from teeth on either side of the gap. However, as people’s dental health has improved with fluoride from tooth pastes, this option is becoming less favourable because people do not want their healthy teeth touched or reshaped.

Nowadays, people with single or several missing teeth are looking to be able to eat, laugh and talk with confidence just like anybody else. They are turning to Dental Implants as a superior alternative to improve and fulfil their quality of life.

5 steps to predictably replace missing teeth with Dental Implants
1. Find the right dentist with the right skills
2. Have a thorough assessment and discussion to address your suitability
3. Implant placement
4. Build new teeth over Implants
5. Enjoy your new improved self-confidence and quality of life
