Saving Teeth
Dental Hygiene treatments are performed as a preventative measure to keep the
teeth and gums healthy. The hygienists here at Wimpole Street use the minimally
invasive Guided Biofilm Therapy technique to clean, scale and polish the teeth.
Dental Hygiene is suitable for all patients and can be incorporated into their dental
healthcare, with the assistance of the hygienist outlining the frequency that it is
needed.

Bruxism affects the teeth and jaw, with patients typically grinding during their sleep.
Bruxism treatment requires a precisely designed night guard designed to comfortably
and carefully protect the teeth. It’s essential that bruxism is caught early, and
preventative care can protect the teeth from irreversible damage.

Fillings are a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth that are broken or
have cavities. This is done using composite fillings, which are designed to
seamlessly blend with the teeth’s natural shade for the ultimate discretion and
aesthetic. Most patients affected by a broken or decayed tooth are suitable for this
form of treatment.

Gum Correction covers a range of treatments which are used to treat asymmetric,
excessive, damaged, discoloured and receding gums. The treatments we offer are
tailored to the individual needs of the patient, ensuring they are comfortable and
confident in their smiles.
![5[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/51.png "5[1]")
Periodontitis treatment involves a hygienist performing periodontal treatment on the
gums and teeth affected by periodontitis (gum disease). Patients will then return for a
check-up, and treatment will continue until the issue is properly addressed and the
patient’s dental health is restored. This treatment is suitable for those with recurring
symptoms like bleeding, soreness and swelling of the gums.
![6[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/61.png "6[1]")
Root canal treatment is used when the root of the tooth has become damaged or
infected, resulting in severe discomfort. This is treated by removing any damaged or
dead nerves, applying treatment to the remaining nerve and tissue to remove and
limit bacterial growth, before sealing, filling and applying a partial or whole crown to
the tooth.
![7[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/71.png "7[1]")
Root canal retreatment is undertaken when a previous root canal has failed. Once
the tooth has become re-infected, the previous treatment is removed and re-
performed to preserve the tooth structure. Patients who have already had a root
canal treatment may be suited to this; the dentist will assess the severity and
suitability on a case-by-case basis.
![8[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/81.png "8[1]")
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder impacts the jaw and is treated through
assessing the severity of the disorder to diagnose and identify the best approach to
treatment. Treatment can vary for each individual, with some patients requiring non-
invasive treatments like nightguards and others requiring more complex care such as
open-joint surgery.
![9[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/91.png "9[1]")
VITAL PULP THERAPY
Vital pulp therapy is the preferred treatment for patients impacted by decay or
damage. It is carried out with the primary goal of preventing further damage to the
dental pulp. This is done with biologically based treatments designed to conserve the
pulp and negate the need for more extensive treatment. The dentist will outline the
suitability of this treatment upon assessment of the impacted area.
![10[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/101-1.png "10[1]")
Wisdom tooth removal is a treatment that isn’t always necessary; therefore, it is only
carried out when the patient is experiencing issues as a result of its presence.
Removal of the tooth can be done by a dentist or oral surgeon with local anaesthetic
or under general anaesthetic, depending on the position of the tooth and whether an
incision needs to be made.
Replacing Teeth
![11[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/111.png "11[1]")
Dental implants are artificial teeth secured using implants which are secured into the
jawbone. Dental implants can vary with patients having a single implant to full mouth
restorations with multiple implants. This is a treatment suitable for those who have
lost teeth and want to reconstruct their smile and, in some cases, preserve the
jawbone.
![12[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/121.png "12[1]")
All-on-4 dental implants are a treatment used when a patient has lost multiple teeth
and is seeking out restoration with immediate results. The procedure can be
performed in one day, and entails 4-6 implants being secured to the jaw before a
temporary set of teeth is placed. In a following appointment, the final set of
permanent teeth will be fitted.
![13[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/131.png "13[1]")
Immediate implants are a type of implant that is fitted on the same day as the dental
extraction, allowing patients to walk out with their smile restored. This treatment is
suited to those needing a failing tooth to be extracted, but seeking out an immediate
solution so their confidence, comfort and smile aren’t impacted long-term.
![14[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/141.png "14[1]")
Navigated implants leverage state-of-the-art guided implant technology to precisely
map out implants for accurate and minimally invasive treatment options for dental replacement. This treatment is suited to patients requiring restoration of the teeth,
but who are potentially nervous and want to reduce the overall time being treated.
![15[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/151.png "15[1]")
Zygomatic implant treatment uses implants which have anchors extended in length
to secure to the cheekbone. This is a preferred treatment for patients when there is
no longer enough bone in the upper jaw to support dental implants. A prosthetic
dental bridge is designed and fitted the same day as the implant procedure, allowing
patients to walk away with a complete smile.
![16[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/161.png "16[1]")
Composite bonding treatment uses composite resin to enhance or repair the
aesthetics of the smile. The resin’s colour can be adjusted to give the appearance of
whitened teeth, as well as being able to sculpt it to the teeth to alter their look. This is
suitable for patients wanting to change the aesthetic of their teeth with a minimally
invasive and efficient treatment.
![17[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/171.png "17[1]")
Crowns are a type of treatment used to restore the appearance of a tooth when a
significant portion of the tooth’s surface has been damaged or decayed. This is a
preferred solution when there’s a greater extent of damage as it’s aesthetic, strong,
and brings function back to the mouth.
![18[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/181.png "18[1]")
Dental bridges replace a missing tooth by securing a prosthetic ceramic tooth on
wings to the adjacent teeth. This is an ideal solution for those who have lost a tooth
but do not want to undertake an invasive procedure. It is a durable solution that gives
the same aesthetic as a natural tooth, making it an ideal restorative treatment.
![19[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/191.png "19[1]")
Dentures are an appliance which can be fully or partially removable and are used to
replace teeth. Dentures are a non-invasive alternative to implants, allowing patients
to have the desired aesthetic and function without the need for implants, and for
those unable, it offers a solution which bridges cannot. This treatment is best suited
to patients with multiple missing teeth.
![20[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/201.png "20[1]")
INLAYS & PARTIAL CROWNS
Inlays and partial crowns restore the tooth when it has been damaged due to trauma
or decay. The treatment uses a ceramic lab-made inlay which is designed to fit
seamlessly into the depression of the tooth. This is an ideal solution when a
significant portion of the surface of the tooth is impacted, and a filling isn’t best suited
for the damage.
![21[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/211.png "21[1]")
Maryland bridge treatment replaces a missing tooth. Mayland bridges are similar in
design to a traditional bridge yet are less invasive as the adjacent tooth needs less
preparation. Maryland bridges are best suited to individuals with one missing tooth,
looking for a minimally invasive treatment.
![22[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/221.png "22[1]")
Veneers are a cosmetic treatment which can entirely change the smile’s aesthetic by
creating porcelain caps which are permanently bonded to the natural teeth. Patients
seeking out an aesthetic smile from varying factors like ageing and natural wear and
tear are best suited to this treatment.
Cosmetic
![23[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/231.png "23[1]")
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-invasive treatment where an anti-wrinkle solution is
injected into specific areas to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. This
treatment is suited to those wanting to feel more confident in the overall appearance
of their skin. Each patient will undergo a consultation where their unique needs are
addressed to deliver a tailored treatment plan.
![24[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/241.png "24[1]")
Dermal fillers utilise hyaluronic acid to hydrate and create volume under the skin to
provide a plump and replenished aesthetic to the skin. This treatment is suitable for
patients with varying aesthetic goals, ranging from adding fullness to the cheeks to
smoothing out fine lines where skin has lost elasticity.
![25[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/251.png "25[1]")
Internal bleaching treatments brighten teeth which have darkened due to necrosis of
the pulp, or that have had a root canal treatment. The dental canals leading to the
pulp are sealed prior to a bleaching agent being inserted into the tooth; this helps to
lighten the darkened colour that is present internally. This is ideal for patients with
teeth which have a darkened appearance and want the natural colour to be restored
![26[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/261.png "26[1]")
Profhilo injections are a treatment designed to replenish the skin by promoting the
production of elastin and collagen. Proteins which are known for contributing to
having young and energised skin. This is suited to individuals wanting to restore
brightness and reduce signs are ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines.
![27[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/271.png "27[1]")
A smile makeover is a bespoke treatment plan designed to enhance the aesthetic of
a patient’s tooth. This can be done by whitening, applying crowns, using orthodontic
treatments and even implants. This comprehensive offering under the smile
makeover allows individuals to address any dental concerns while enhancing their
smile.
![28[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/281.png "28[1]")
Sunekos is an advanced treatment which combines hyaluronic acid with a patented
blend of amino acids to promote elastin and collagen production. Used to rejuvenate,
provide firmness and maintain the skin’s elasticity. This treatment is ideal for those
wanting to combat signs of early ageing, like skin dullness and fine lines.
![29[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/291.png "29[1]")
Teeth whitening is a treatment done to brighten the aesthetic of the teeth. This can
be achieved through three types of treatment: at-home, in the dental office and walking bleach. This type of treatment is an ideal solution for those with stained or
discoloured teeth who would like a brighter and more confident smile.
Orthodontics
![30[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/301.png "30[1]")
Braces are an orthodontic treatment using brackets which are adhered to the teeth,
and a guiding wire which is adjusted throughout treatment to perfectly align the teeth.
Braces are often recommended for children and teens when alignment issues are
spotted; however, adults who want an aligned smile are also able to undergo this
type of orthodontic treatment.
![31[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/311.png "31[1]")
Braces for children and teens look to target alignment issues at an early age in order
to prevent any potential issues from occurring from overcrowding or poor alignment.
The teeth are guided using a wire and bracket into a perfect arch alignment. This
treatment is often recommended and referred to by a dentist when signs of
overcrowding or poor alignment are spotted in young patients.
![NA[1]](https://wimpolestreetdental.clinic/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/NA1.png "NA[1]")
Invisalign is a discreet orthodontic solution, using multiple sets of clear aligners over
the course of a few months to a year to re-align the teeth. This form of orthodontic
treatment is ideal for adults seeking a subtle yet effective orthodontic solution.
