Hygiene appointments at Dental Elegance

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Does the comment ” you need to see our hygienist” make your toes curl and send a shiver down your spine ?

If so then you will be pleased to hear, that at Dental Elegance we endeavour to provide a pain/stress free hygiene visit. We are able to achieve this by using the revolutionary needle free local anaesthetic.

This then allows our hygienist to undertake a thorough assessment of your gum health to establish if there is any gum diseases present and if so the extent. They will then be able to treat your gums which will include a scale and polish with minimal discomfort caused.

If you are concerned about the health of your gums or have had bleeding whilst brushing or flossing then book an appointment  with one of our dentists who will then refer you to our hygiene team.

Painless Hygiene

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

We have 3 dental hygienists at our Practice who are all highly trained and experienced. Patients with gum disease, loose teeth, bleeding gums, bad mouth odour, stained teeth etc are treated comfortably and painlessly with a new anaesthetic gel ORAQUIX  placed on the gums. This allows the hygienists to take care of the disease  causing plaque and tartar with fast modern day  cleaning  instruments so the gums heal gently. Treatment of gum infection is so important since studies are showing links with heart disease and diabetes, so at Dental Elegance we place on maintaining healthy gums and good oral hygiene, painlessly.

RESIN RETAINED ‘minimal preparation’ BRIDGE

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Dr Dan Patel treated a patient from Sidcup recently who came in an emergency appointment for a broken front tooth that could not be saved. Fortuately he was able to provide a fixed bridge which is permanently bonded to the adjacent tooth via a thin wing called a Maryland Bridge . This involved no preparation  to the supporting tooth and provided a quick solution to the problem of a missing tooth. The patient may later go on to have an implant.

Flexible, comfortable, unbreakable VALPLAST dentures

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

VALPLAST  is a revolutionary denture material we have successfully used at Dental Elegance to provide  really comfortable partial dentures that are thin and do not have metal components showing. since the dentures are flexible they do not break and offer greater comfort for those patients that have always struggled with their dentures.

Mrs R  from gravesend came to us having tried traditional acrylic dentures she was unhappy since the plate was painful to put into her mouth and was so big she could not eat or speak properly. We made her a flexible valplast denture which has solved her problems. This was her response.

“ Dear Mr Patel, Thank you for giving me back my smile !  In this year that has been so hard and sad you will never know how much it meant to be able to smile again without all the gaps”  from Jean.

Rapid Orthodontics with the Revolutionary Inman Aligner.

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

This patient travelled all the way from Southampton to see us because Dental Elegance in Sidcup is the pioneering practice that discovered and developed the Inman Aligner in the 

UK. A case like this will often take months if not years with conventional fixed braces or using invisalign clear braces. The Inman Aligner treatment took only 3 months for each jaw.

The Inman Aligner is removable so the patient doesn’t have to wear it constantly. In fact even 16 hours a day is enough to make your case work. It gives you the freedom to live your life and still get great straight teeth fast, safely and with no hassle.  She then whitened her teeth to complete her non-surgical smile makeover!
