Frequently asked questions
It's generally recommended to have a dental check-up every six months. These routine visits allow your dentist to detect any oral health issues early on and prevent potential problems from worsening. However, the frequency might vary based on individual dental health needs. Your dentist will determine the best schedule for check-ups tailored to your oral health requirements.
During a dental check-up, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. X-rays may be taken to assess hidden problems. Your dentist will also check for signs of oral cancer and assess your bite and jaw. They’ll discuss any recommendations for preventive care or treatment with you, and answer any questions or concerns you have about your dental health.
It's typically recommended to see a dental hygienist every six months for a routine cleaning and oral health assessment. However, the frequency may vary based on individual oral health needs. Some people may require more frequent visits, such as those with gum disease or a history of dental issues, while others may be able to extend the intervals between appointments. Chat to our team here at My E20 Dentist to determine the best schedule for your dental hygiene visits.
Our dental hygienist thoroughly cleans your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. They may also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and provide fluoride treatment for added protection. Additionally, they assess your oral hygiene practices, offer guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, and discuss any concerns or issues regarding your dental health. Alongside your routine dental check-ups, this appointment aims to maintain oral health and prevent future dental problems.
Your appointment cost will depend on the treatment, but a new patient consultation at My E20 costs £50, with X-rays costing £15. This initial appointment is important so that we can get to know you and your dental needs.
Our team is very experienced in treating nervous patients - because dental anxiety is a lot more common than you may think. Our practice is a calm and reassuring environment and we take time to explain procedures thoroughly to alleviate fear of the unknown. We find that building trust and open communication between dentist and patient helps to promote a positive dental experience, and we encourage patients to talk to us about any worries they may have.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on correcting irregularities in teeth and jaws, such as misalignment, overcrowding, or bite issues, to improve oral health and aesthetics. Orthodontic, or teeth straightening, treatment often begins during adolescence when a patient’s permanent teeth have erupted, but it can also be initiated in adulthood depending on your needs. At My E20 Dentist our team of specialists offer a variety of orthodontic treatments for children, teens and adults, all with their own unique benefits.
Mild discomfort or soreness may be experienced during orthodontic treatment, particularly after adjustments or when new appliances are placed. However, this discomfort is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Regular appointments with our orthodontist are necessary for adjustments, progress checks, and ensuring treatment is on track. Typically, visits are scheduled every 4-8 weeks, but this can vary depending on individual treatment plans.
Yes, adults can undergo orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth, bite issues, and other dental irregularities. While treatment may take longer in adults due to mature bone structure, advancements like clear aligners offer discreet options. An initial consultation with our specialist orthodontist in London’s E20 will determine your suitability and enable us to tailor a treatment plan to your individual needs, helping you achieve a straighter and healthier smile regardless of your age.
During orthodontic treatment, especially with braces, it's advisable to avoid certain foods that could damage the appliances or hinder progress. Sticky, hard, or crunchy foods like caramel, nuts, and popcorn should be avoided to prevent damage to braces or misalignment of teeth. Additionally, sugary and acidic drinks can contribute to tooth decay and should be consumed in moderation, and practise good oral hygiene to maintain your dental health.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. You should brush your teeth after every meal, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste and use floss between teeth and around braces, removing food particles and plaque build-up. Use a mouthwash to help clean hard-to-reach areas and reduce bacteria and schedule regular dental cleanings and check-ups to monitor your oral health and address any concerns promptly.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is generally safe when performed by a qualified dental professional, like our team at My E20 Dentist because our treatments contain regulated concentrations of bleaching agents to minimise risks. However, some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. It's essential to follow your dentist's instructions carefully and disclose any pre-existing dental conditions to ensure safe and effective treatment. We can determine your suitability for teeth whitening during an initial consultation.
Teeth whitening procedures typically do not affect the colour of dental veneers, crowns, or other restorations. These dental materials are resistant to bleaching agents used in whitening treatments. It’s therefore a good idea to have your teeth whitened before you get dental restorations so they can be shade-matched to your teeth for natural-looking results.
Our skilled cosmetic dentists in London’s E20 ensure that veneers are carefully crafted and placed to achieve aesthetically pleasing and lifelike results. They are custom-made to match the shape, size, and colour of your existing teeth, ensuring a harmonious appearance. Additionally, modern veneer materials, such as porcelain, mimic the translucency and texture of natural tooth enamel, enhancing their natural appearance.
Dental veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years on average. However, their longevity depends on various factors such as oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, biting forces, and lifestyle habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last longer, and they may eventually need replacement due to wear and tear or changes in dental health.
Composite bonding is considered a semi-permanent solution, as the material can wear down or become stained over time. However, it can be repaired or replaced if needed. It's less invasive than procedures like veneers or crowns, making it a versatile and reversible option.
While composite bonding doesn't require special maintenance, it's essential to practise good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoiding habits like biting on hard objects or chewing ice can also help preserve the bonding's integrity.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots typically made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, to be mounted onto. Dental implants fuse with the jawbone, creating a strong and permanent support for artificial teeth. They function and feel like natural teeth, restoring oral function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth.
The process of getting dental implants typically involves local anaesthesia, ensuring that patients are comfortable during the procedure. However, some discomfort such as pressure or minor soreness may be felt during the initial stages of implant placement. After the procedure, patients may experience some soreness or swelling, which can be managed with pain medications prescribed by your dentist. Overall, while discomfort is possible, significant pain during dental implant placement is uncommon.
While dental implants offer benefits to many patients, they might not suit everyone. Before approval, a consultation with our implant dentist at our London E20 dental practice is necessary to determine your eligibility. Patients should be in good general health, non-smokers, and without chronic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, or very high blood pressure. Correction of gum disease is essential before considering dental implants too.
There isn't a strict age limit for dental implants. As long as a person is in good general health and has sufficient bone density to support the implants, age is not a determining factor. However, younger patients should have completed their jawbone growth before receiving implants. Ultimately, eligibility for dental implants is assessed on an individual basis, considering overall health, bone density, and specific dental needs, all of which will be discussed at your (LINK free initial dental implant consultation) in London’s E20.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants needed, the complexity of the case, and any additional procedures required (such as bone grafting or sinus lifts). Our specialist oral surgeon will give you a personalised estimate based on your specific needs along with details of (LINK our finance plans) to help make your treatment affordable.
The longevity of dental implants can vary depending on various factors, including oral hygiene maintenance, overall health, lifestyle habits, and the quality of the implant placement. However, with proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime.
