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.
