At the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore (HA7), we see patients every day with a wide range of dental concerns, from tooth pain and bleeding gums to missing teeth and cosmetic worries. Many of these issues are very common, and with modern dentistry, they can be treated effectively to restore both oral health and confidence.

If you’re searching for a trusted dentist in Stanmore, Harrow, Bushey, or North West London, here’s a guide to some of the most common dental problems and how our specialists can help.

1. Tooth Decay and Cavities

Problem: Cavities are caused by plaque build-up and bacteria attacking tooth enamel. Left untreated, they can lead to infection and tooth loss.
Our Solution:

• Digital X-rays for early detection
• White fillings and inlays for natural-looking restorations
• Preventive fluoride treatments and hygiene care

2. Gum Disease (Gingivitis & Periodontitis)

Problem: Bleeding gums, bad breath, or loose teeth may be signs of gum disease. If untreated, gum disease can damage bone and lead to tooth loss.
Our Solution:

• Specialist periodontal care in Stanmore
• Deep cleaning (scaling & root planing)
• Advanced gum surgery where needed
• Regular dental hygiene appointments for prevention

3. Crooked or Misaligned Teeth

Problem: Misalignment can affect confidence, chewing, and oral hygiene.
Our Solution:

• Invisalign clear aligners discreet, removable, and comfortable
• Specialist orthodontics for children and adults
• Early orthodontic assessments for kids (Invisalign First)

4. Missing Teeth

Problem: Gaps from missing teeth can cause difficulty chewing, shifting of other teeth, and reduced confidence.
Our Solution:

• Dental implants – long-lasting, natural-looking replacements
• Bridges – secure, fixed solution for single or multiple missing teeth
• Dentures – modern, comfortable designs for full or partial tooth loss
