This patient from Wembley came to Dr Dixit because he didn’t like the space left in his lower jaw, after his missing tooth was extracted.

At the consultation, Dr Dixit discussed with the patient the treatment options available to him. His preferred choice was to have an implant, as it didn’t involve any drilling of the adjacent teeth.

An implant with a cover screw (above picture) was placed by our implantologist, Dr Nihir Shah, about three to four months ago.

The crown was screwed into place and the screw hole was filled with a white filling material. The patient was very happy with the final result.

Tooth grinding (also known as bruxism) and jaw clenching are common symptoms of stress and anxiety, and can have a devastating effect on your teeth as well as causing problems such as headaches, jaw pain and eating problems.

Many people grind their teeth in their sleep, and are unaware of the problem until either their partner complains of the noise, or they start experiencing dental problems.  Both grinding and jaw clenching can wear your teeth down, and can also cause teeth to crack or break.  They can also put excessive pressure on your jaw joint, which can lead to problems such as chronic headaches or migrains, neck, shoulder and back ache and ear and jaw pain.

If you think you might be grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw, do speak to us about it.  There are a number of things we can do to help, most of which are very affordable and certainly cheaper than having to repair or replace damaged teeth.

This young lady from harrow did not like the appearance of her two front teeth.  They were not in line with the rest of her teeth. The patient wanted fast results without having a fixed brace or having her teeth drilled.

After having a consultation with Dr Dixit and discussing all the options available, the patient decided to have the Inman Aligner.

The patient was very happy with the final result. She had nice straight teeth in 12 weeks.

This patient from Harrow did not like her upper front teeth.  The two front teeth were slightly overlapping and one was protruding forward.  Every time she smiled, her tooth hit her lower lip.

After discussing the treatment options with Dr Dixit, the Inman Aligner was the best option for her. The two front teeth were lined up together and the protruding tooth was pushed back.

All this treatment took approximately 12-14 weeks.

The patient was very happy with the result achieved.

” I was very impressed at how fast the Inman Aligner worked. It was very comfortable to wear and very discreet.  Taking it in and out was very easy .  Dr Dixit explained the treatment to me very clearly and I was very happy with my teeth. When I smile now, my tooth does not hit my lip. “

This lady from Wembley was very unhappy with her upper front teeth.  The patient had a bridge and veneers which were loose due to decay underneath.

After an extensive consultation with Dr Dixit, the  bridge and veneers were removed and the decay was cleaned out .  The old bridge was replaced with a new bridge and the veneers were replaced with new crowns.

The patient was very delighted with the final result.

Nearly half the population regularly fails to brush its teeth before bedtime, according to a survey for National Smile Month. The research carried out by the British Dental Health Foundation (BDHF) earlier this year, found that more than a third of men and almost 60 per cent of women questioned did not always brush their teeth before bedtime. A small number of those questioned, just 11 per cent, said they regulary skipped brushing in the morning.

 Tips for fresher breath

1. To test if you have bad breath, simply lick the inside of your wrist, let it dry and sniff. If the smell is bad, you can be fairly sure you have bad breath.

2. Clean in between your teeth with ‘interdental’ brushes or floss. This will help clean all parts of the tooth and remove food caught between teeth.

3. Don’t forget to brush your tongue, or use a tongue scraper.

4. Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva to help prevent your mouth from drying out.

5. If your bad breath continues, visit us at Blue Court Dental for advice and cleaning tips.

This gentleman  from Harrow was very unhappy about the appearance of his uneven front teeth.   His upper front teeth were too short and he did not enough tooth when he smiled and his lower teeth were all at different heights. He also found that his teeth were too yellow.

After a detailed consultation with Dr Dixit, treatment options were discussed .  To improve his smile Dr Dixit whitened his teeth and then placed 4 ceramic crowns on his upper front teeth, with some gum reshaping to make the teeth longer. He also re-contoured the patient’s lower teeth to make them more even.

The patient was very happy with the final result and his new mini smile makeover.
