When teeth become worn, chipped or broken down, it can affect how comfortable you feel when you smile.

In this case, the patient came to us with front teeth that were heavily worn and breaking down over time.

Using a combination of crowns and veneers, we restored the shape, strength and balance of the smile, creating a fresher result that still looks natural.

At Longwood House Dental Care, we help patients restore worn, chipped or damaged teeth with clear advice and carefully planned treatment.

Letโ€™s help your smile feel like yours again.

Some children wait for Ratรณn Pรฉrez, some for La Petite Souris, some leave a tooth for the Tooth Fairy, and in other places children throw their tooth onto a roof or up into the sky as part of a tradition passed down through generations.

In this carousel, weโ€™re taking a little look at some of the ways children give their teeth around the world.

Every family has its own little tradition, but one thing is the same everywhere: baby teeth matter.

They help children eat, speak clearly, and guide adult teeth into place, which is why looking after them early is so important.

At Longwood House Dental Care, we help children feel comfortable, calm and confident at the dentist, with gentle care and simple explanations that help visits feel easier for both children and parents.

Bring your little one in for a gentle check-up and help them feel at home in the dental chair.

Wearing clear aligners can make small daily habits feel a bit more complicated.

Can you use mouthwash?
Which one is best?
Should you use it before putting your trays back in?

Yes, mouthwash can help, but the type you choose and when you use it matters.

In this carousel, we explain how to use mouthwash safely with clear aligners, what to avoid, and why rinsing straight after brushing may not be the best idea.

A subtle change in alignment can make a real difference to the smile.

In this case, the patient had crowding in the front teeth, which meant the teeth were overlapping and sitting out of position. With Invisalign clear aligners, we were able to gently guide the teeth into a neater, more even alignment.

Invisalign is a discreet way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made clear aligners. It can be a very effective option for mild to more complex cases, depending on the patientโ€™s needs.

The result here is a smile that looks more balanced, easier to clean, and more in harmony overall.

If you are thinking about straightening your teeth and would like to know whether Invisalign could be suitable for you, book a consultation with Longwood House Dental Care and we will talk you through your options clearly.

Missing teeth can affect more than the way your smile looks.

They can change how you bite, chew and clean your teeth, and over time, the teeth around the gap may start to move.

In this weekโ€™s Answers to Common Questions, we are talking about dental bridges, what they are, how they work and when they may be suitable.

A dental bridge is a fixed option for replacing missing teeth. It is designed to restore the gap in a way that feels comfortable, looks natural and supports the balance of your smile.

Swipe through the carousel to learn more.

If you have a missing tooth, or you would like to know whether a bridge could be right for you, book a consultation with Longwood House Dental Care and we will talk you through your options clearly.

A natural-looking improvement that makes a real difference to the smile.

In this case, the patient had congenitally missing lateral incisors, which means the teeth on either side of the two front teeth did not develop naturally.

To restore the appearance of the smile, we carried out bridgework to replace the missing teeth and create a more balanced, even result.

Dental bridges are a reliable way to fill gaps in the smile by supporting replacement teeth in a fixed position. They can help improve not only appearance, but also confidence and the overall harmony of the smile.

The final result looks much more complete and balanced, while still keeping a natural appearance.

If you have missing teeth, or would like to know more about options such as bridges, crowns or other restorative treatment, book a consultation with Longwood House Dental Care and we will talk you through what may be suitable for you.

Myth:
Dental extractions are always painful and stressful.

Fact:
With modern techniques, local anaesthetic and a calm, careful approach, dental extractions can be much more comfortable than many patients expect.

Why it matters:
Many patients delay treatment because they are worried about pain or the unknown. At Longwood House Dental Care, we take time to explain what is happening, answer your questions and help you feel as comfortable as possible before treatment begins.

Tip:
If you have been told you may need an extraction, come in for a consultation. We will talk you through your options clearly, so you feel informed and in control of your dental care.

Caption

Many patients feel nervous when they hear the word โ€œextractionโ€.

That is completely understandable. But dental care should never feel rushed or unclear.

Dr Hamza, our new team member, has a calm and gentle approach, with a particular interest in oral surgery, dental extractions and gum therapy. He takes time to explain each step, reassure patients and make treatment feel as comfortable and manageable as possible.

If you are worried about a tooth, gum problem or possible extraction, book a consultation with Longwood House Dental Care and let us talk you through your options.

Weโ€™re pleased to welcome Dr. Hamza to the Longwood House Dental Care team.

For anyone who feels a little nervous about visiting the dentist, Dr. Hamza understands that sitting in the dental chair can sometimes feel daunting. That is why he takes the time to explain, reassure and make each visit feel as clear and comfortable as possible.

Whether you are visiting for a routine check-up, gum care, an extraction, or more complex treatment, Dr. Hamza looks forward to helping you care for your smile with confidence.

Welcome to the team, Dr. Hamza.

In this before and after case, the patient wanted to improve the colour and overall appearance of their smile. The front crown was darker, damaged and no longer blending well with the surrounding teeth, which made the smile look uneven.

We started with RISIO teeth whitening to brighten the natural teeth first. This step is important because crowns do not whiten like natural teeth, so the surrounding teeth need to be whitened before choosing the final crown shade.

Once the teeth had reached a brighter shade, we replaced the old crown with new cosmetic crown designed to match the improved colour and create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.

The result is fresher, brighter and more harmonious, without looking overdone.

If your crowns no longer match your smile, or you are thinking about whitening before replacing old dental work, book a consultation with Longwood House Dental Care and we can talk you through the best order of treatment.
