Top Dental FAQs Answered by Our Stanmore (HA7) Specialists
Your Most Common Dental Questions, Expertly Answered by a Leading Private Dental Clinic in North West London

At the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore, we welcome patients not only from HA7 but from across North West London, including Edgware, Harrow, and Bushey. One thing many new and existing patients have in common? Questions!

Whether you’re anxious about your first visit, unsure about implants, or confused about cosmetic dentistry, you’re not alone.

We’ve compiled answers to the top dental FAQs we receive from patients every week, helping you feel informed and confident before you even step into the clinic.

1. How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?

Even if your teeth feel fine, regular dental check-ups are essential. We recommend:

  • Every 6 months for routine maintenance and hygiene

  • More frequently if you have gum disease, implants, or are undergoing specialist treatment

At our Stanmore dental clinic, we create personalised recall schedules based on your oral health needs, age, and risk factors.

3. Is Cosmetic Dentistry Just About Appearance?

Not at all. While cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving your smile, it often benefits:

  • Bite alignment

  • Speech

  • Oral hygiene

  • Self-confidence

We offer smile makeovers, veneers, teeth whitening, and Invisalign in Stanmore, all tailored for natural, long-lasting results.

5. What Can I Do About Bleeding Gums?

Bleeding gums are often a sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease and should not be ignored. Early diagnosis and professional cleaning are key.

Our Stanmore periodontist can help reverse gum disease and restore gum health using non-surgical and advanced surgical techniques.

7. Can I Get Braces as an Adult?

Absolutely. Over 30% of our orthodontic patients are adults.
We offer:

  • Invisalign clear aligners

  • Ceramic braces

  • Hidden lingual braces

Our Stanmore orthodontist will assess your goals, bite, and facial profile before creating a bespoke plan for discreet, effective tooth movement.

8. Do I Really Need to Replace a Missing Tooth?

Yes, leaving a gap can lead to:

  • Bone loss in the jaw

  • Shifting of nearby teeth

  • Bite imbalance

  • Long-term difficulty eating or speaking

We offer dental implants, bridges, and custom dentures in Stanmore HA7, helping you maintain a healthy, functional smile

10. Do You Accept Referrals from Other Dentists?

Yes, we’re proud to work with over 400 general dentists across London and beyond. If you’re referred to us for implants, oral surgery, endodontics, or facial aesthetics, we’ll provide specialist care before returning you to your regular dentist.

2. Are Dental Implants Worth the Investment?

Yes, for many patients, dental implants are a life-changing, long-term solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants:

  • Look and function like natural teeth

  • Prevent bone loss in the jaw

  • Can last 15–25+ years with proper care

We provide specialist implant dentistry in Stanmore, using cutting-edge CBCT scans and 3D planning for precision, safety, and comfort.

4. What’s the Difference Between a Dentist and a Specialist Dentist?

A specialist dentist has undergone years of advanced training in a focused area such as:

  • Endodontics (root canals)

  • Periodontics (gums)

  • Oral surgery

  • Prosthodontics (reconstruction)

At our specialist dental centre in Stanmore, all our clinicians are GDC-registered specialists who also teach and train across the UK.

6. Are Fillings and Root Canals Painful?

With modern techniques, most treatments are completely pain-free.
We use:

  • Topical numbing gels

  • Digital anaesthesia

  • Optional conscious sedation

We regularly treat nervous patients in Stanmore, especially those anxious about root canals or past bad dental experiences.

9. What Can I Do About Bad Breath (Halitosis)?

Bad breath is often linked to:

  • Gum disease

  • Poor oral hygiene

  • Diet or dry mouth

A dental exam and hygiene appointment at our Stanmore dental practice can identify the cause and restore your confidence.
