Dental Implants at our Dental Clinic in Edgbaston by a Birmingham implantologist

  Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth.

Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide.

Explained by a Birmingham orthodontist specialist dentist.

You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position your orthodontist  has prescribed.

You'll visit your orthodontist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

Dr Naz Shoja-Assadi-Your orthodontist in Birmingham

Dr Naz Shoja-Assadi qualified as an specialist orthodontist from Liverpool university over 10 years ago. She treats many patients in Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped.

Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth all on the same day.

The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.

In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted.

Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures. Click here for illustrated information.

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail.

Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed.

Porcelain veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth.

A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally.

Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable.

If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again. The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the broken part.

Bonding: sometimes instead of a porcelain veneer, a natural colour composite bonding material is used instead of porcelain. A natural-coloured filling material can be used for minor repairs to front teeth like chipped or broken tooth corners.

A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again. The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the broken part.

Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole). If the decay is not too serious, our Birmingham cosmetic dentists will remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling. We can also safely replace silver (amalgam) fillings

The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System is a scientifically advanced tooth whitening procedure. Its safe, effective and fast, very fast. In just over an hour your teeth will become dramatically whiter. The zoom light and gel work to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discolouration. With proper care your smile will sparkle for years.

Zoom! Chairside Whitening system is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience of Zoom! In comparison to days of wearing trays or strips, makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

  The Zoom! In-office Whitening System will make your teeth dramatically whiter in a little over an hour. The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed.

The Zoom! Clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom! Whitening gel, which was designed to be used with a specially designed light.

The zoom light and gel work to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discolouration. With proper care your smile will sparkle for years.

Take your first step to feeling good, looking great and making a memorable impression every time you smile. You owe it to yourself!

Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.

There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.

Almost anyone. However, treatment may not be as effective or some as it is for others. Our team of Birmingham dentists can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment.

Do many people whiten their teeth?

More people than you might imagine. A bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The Zoom! Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.

Yes, extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a Birmingham dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily with Zoom! Whitening Toothpaste, and occasional touch-ups with Zoom! take-home gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available only through your dental professional.

Yes! Consulting your dental professional is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Plus, over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. Zoom! is clinically proven to whiten your teeth eight shades in one hour or six shades in just one weekend.* Only a dentist can get your teeth this white, this fast.

The Zoom! light-activated whitening gel's active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 33% or more, giving an average improvement of eight shades*.

During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Many actually fall asleep. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure.

Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.

The Zoom! procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be protected. The clinician is required to monitor the procedure to insure any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is required during the procedure. Light sensitive individuals including those undergoing PUVA (Psoralen+UV Radiation) therapy or other photo-chemotherapy, as well as patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom! In-Office procedure. Also patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances, whether over-the-counter, prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary physician prior to procedure. Anyone who is not eligible for Zoom! In-Office for these reasons may be an excellent candidate for Zoom! Take-Home.

The complete procedure takes just over an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure (a cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom! Whitening session).

Zoom! utilizes a breakthrough dual barrel chemistry that is engineered to accelerate whitening efficacy in two unique ways. First, it utilizes a breakthrough surfactant technology for improved gel penetration. Second, it helps to control the activation of Hydrogen Peroxide. This innovative formula creates an activation matrix that helps regulate the release of free radicals for optimal results. A recent study showed that the Zoom! Take-Home System delivers an average of six shades* after three applications.

The Zoom! take-home gel is designed to be worn between four and eight hours per application. Your dental professional will advise you on how long you should wear each application. Most people prefer to wear it over night while they sleep, but you can also wear it during the day if that works better for you. A recent study showed that you can achieve an average improvement of six shades* after just three applications. However, individual results may vary. Your dental professional will help you determine how many applications are right for you.

The main difference between the two systems is that you use the Zoom! Take-Home System in the convenience of your own home over a few days or nights. The Zoom! In-Office System is performed entirely in the office.

* Individual results may vary. Take-home results based on overnight wear.

A smile is an important part of our personality and is enhanced by beautiful teeth.

Thanks to advances in material and techniques, treatment is available to all. In its simplest form, cosmetic dentistry can be keeping your teeth clean with regular visits to the hygienist; or simply replacing a silver/black (amalgam) filling with a white (tooth coloured) filling. What do these techniques do? Improve the appearance of teeth by covering stains. Change the shape or size of teeth. Correct the position and spacing between teeth. Repair chipped, cracked or worn teeth. Strengthen weak teeth Replace missing teeth, permanently. What are these Techniques? White fillings are made of composite resin (hard plastic) which are matched to the colour of your teeth. They are bonded to the cavity to prevent tooth decay and have very good aesthetics and wear resistance. These are suitable for small fillings and are quick and economical to carry out requiring one visit only. Porcelain/Composite inlays are manufactured outside the practice in a dental laboratory in Birmingham, after an accurate mould has been taken of your teeth. The inlay is bonded into the tooth at the second visit and has the advantage of being stronger than conventional fillings. The aesthetic results are excellent. Porcelain Crowns/Caps are used to protect brittle and weakened teeth. Porcelain crowns with a precious metal undersurface are bonded to the tooth to give it a natural look and strength. The porcelain will not stain, change colour or fade. The process is a delicate and accurate one and will normally require two visits to the Birmingham dentist. A temporary crown is fitted while the permanent one is being made. The benefits of crowns are that you can once again eat in comfort and not worry about your tooth breaking. It will last for many years and be stronger than a natural tooth. It protects the tooth underneath it and is easier to clean, further improving oral hygiene. Porcelain Veneers (facings) are for sound teeth which are unsightly. Wear and tear, smoking or simply aging could cause this. The solution is to cover the front of the tooth with natural looking porcelain facing. Very little tooth preparation is required and the same laboratory in Birmingham procedures as for crowns. The facing, which is an extremely thin veneer can be used to excellent effect to close unsightly gaps between front teeth and to cover discoloured teeth. The procedure is painless and an injection is rarely needed. Bridges are recommended if one or more teeth are missing and you don't want to wear a denture. The teeth next to the gap are used as anchorage for the bridge, which has been made by the dental laboratory. The bridge is normally fitted one week after taking the mould. Bridgework is complex and your dentist can explain your individual needs in more detail. The main benefit of the dentist in Birmingham carrying out bridge treatment is that it does not need to be removed for cleaning, unlike dentures strong and natural looking teeth are the result. A bridge does not move or tilt during eating and helps prevent gum disease. The New Generation Tooth Whitener: Painless, Predictable and Easy. DO YOU WANT WHITER, NATURAL LOOKING TEETH?

The benefits to you No harmful ingredients Does not damage your teeth or gums Kind to sensitive teeth Positive results can be seen in one visit Result will last for a long time The tooth colour you want Whiter teeth mean a brighter, more confident smile COST EFFECTIVE A dental implant is a small man-made titanium fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and allowed to integrate (bond) with the bone and serve as an anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants by Dr. Namih, the dentist in Birmingham, can be used to replace a single tooth or many missing teeth. Implant supported replacement look, feel and function like natural teeth. Dental implants are a proven restorative option with a long clinical history. Dental implants preserve the integrity of the facial structure and reduce the great inconvenience assWHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS? Improved Appearance When teeth are lost, ongoing shrinkage of the jawbone occurs making the face look older. Dental implants can slow or stop this process. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. Improved Comfort Dental implants eliminate the pain, discomfort and inconvenience of removable full or partial dentures. Since dentures sit on top of the jawbone and gums, continuous shrinkage of the jawbone alters the fit of the denture resulting in slipping or rocking of the dentures. Exposed nerves and irritation of the gum tissue may add to the discomfort. Implant supported replacement teeth are like natural teeth because they are anchored securely to the jawbone. Gum irritation and the pain of exposed nerves associated with conventional full or partial dentures are eliminated. Improved Speech With ill fitting dentures, the teeth slip and slide around the mouth. The facial muscles become tense in an attempt to hold the teeth in place. This often results in mumbling, slurred speech or clicking noises. Replacement teeth anchored on implants allow speech with confidence in a relaxed and natural tone. Improved & Comfortable Eating The average denture patient with an excellent fitting denture eats at 15-20% efficiency when compared to a person with natural teeth. As the jawbone shrinks, chewing efficiency is reduced even further, making it difficult to eat certain foods. Dental implants can restore chewing efficiency comparable to that of natural teeth. This allows eating favourite foods with confidence and without pain, enjoying what everyone is eating and not think twice about it. A full upper denture covers the palate of the mouth and reduces the ability to taste foods. With dental implants, the palate can be removed from the upper denture so food tasting and ociated with tooth loss. Practical Convenience Dental implants can eliminate the numerous embarrassing inconveniences of removable partial and full dentures. It eliminates the use of gooey denture adhesives that must be re-applied throughout the day. There is no more the need to cover the mouth when laughing or smiling, for fear that the false teeth will pop out or fall down. Protecting the Remaining Natural Teeth Dental implants are often more appropriate than a bridge for the replacement of one or more adjacent teeth. With conventional bridgework, the teeth surrounding missing teeth must be ground down. Dental implants often eliminate the need to modify these teeth, resulting in a conservative, yet very aesthetic restoration. Improved Self Esteem In view of all the other benefits, dental implants can improve self-esteem and confidence. People who have had dental implants feel better about themselves. A survey of implant patients showed confidence was improved in 88% of patients who visited this Birmingham dentist. It is possible to regain virtually all the capabilities that people with natural teeth have thus allowing enjoyment of life to the full; with very natural looks, feel and function. WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS? Anyone who is missing one or more of their teeth due to injury, disease, or decay may be a candidate for dental implants. If one or a few teeth are missing, dental implants in conjunction with a crown or bridge can replace those teeth without losing more bone. If all or most of the teeth are missing, dental implants may be placed to replace a loose fitting full or partial denture. Adequate bone in the jaw is needed to support the implant(s) along with healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease. Occasionally, older patients express concerns that their age may prevent them from enjoying the benefits that dental implants offer. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If one is healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, one is most probably healthy enough to receive dental implants. Certainly placing a dental implant(s) is far less traumatic and much more precise than having a tooth extracted. Certain chronic diseases may contraindicate implant treatment. The dentist will determine if a patient is a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of their dental and medical health histories.

The dentist will determine if a patient is a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of their dental and medical health histories. How much will it cost? The fee for tooth replacement with dental implants will depend on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of implants required to support the replacement teeth. Some additional procedures may be required prior to the placement of the implants to ensure the long-term health of the dental implants. Typically, there is a fee for the surgical procedure and a separate fee to attach the posts and construct the natural looking replacement teeth. To obtain a specific fee estimate, it is necessary to have a dentist who places implants examine the patient. After a thorough examination that will include radiographs and study models, the Birmingham dentist will recommend the treatment that is most appropriate and what the financial investment would be for the procedure. The overall comment of patients who have had dental implants is that it has been a worthwhile investment and the great majority would go through it again and recommend it to others! A survey of implant patients showed that implants were worth the trouble (97%), the procedure would be worth repeating (89%) and overall dental health was improved (98%). Are dental implants succesful? Research and documentation studies have proven the effectiveness and long lasting results of dental implants. All reputable dental implants systems have demonstrated a success rate of over 96% in documented studies. Good oral hygiene is one of the most critical factors to ensure the health and longevity of dental implants. The dentist or dental hygienist in Birmingham will instruct on the proper home care and hygiene procedures to keep the dental implants and remaining teeth clean and healthy. Regular visits to the dentist are important so that assessment of the health of the implants and the surrounding gum tissue can be made. It is now possible and realistic to expect the replacement implant teeth to look, feel and function like natural teeth for many years to come. Wouldn't it be nice if only you and your Birmingham dentist knew that you are wearing dentures? A natural look is possible when your dentist and technician pay careful attention to every detail. We have a wide range of material and moulding techniques to give excellent fit and comfort including soft or cushion lining where the lower gum is very shrunk . We pride ourselves on the quality of the dentures we offer, whichever type you choose. Cleaning your dentures. Avoid effervescent tablet cleaners. They can alter the colour of teeth over a period of time. Use denture toothpaste and brush and clean them as you would natural teeth. Do this outside the mouth. Do not use ordinary toothpaste as it can be too abrasive. For difficult or persistent stains use Rembrandt or Denclen liquid cleaners. The dentists in Birmingham say to follow the instructions carefully. Take great care not to drop your dentures. Always clean them over a sink half full of water to break the fall. Occasionally Candida infection (thrush) occurs. Immerse clean dentures in a diluted solution of Milton (half a tablet in a glass of water) for one hour. If it recurs, consult your dentist. Soft linings. These are delicate and should be cleaned gently with lukewarm water and a brush Avoid chemical cleaners as they weaken the lining. Tartar: Occasionally the dentures will need to be returned to the dental technician for ultrasonic cleaning of crusty deposits (tartar). A spare set of dentures is always handy in case of an accident. A copy of the original set is not expensive. Your dentist can advise. Denture wearers must have their mouth examined every 12 months. This is part of the screening program for oral cancer detection and prevention DENTAL X-RAYS X- Rays are normally taken for two reasons: To help us reach a correct diagnosis. Provide proper care and treatment. We take no more than is absolutely essential. All staff are trained in the safe use of the X-ray equipment which is carried out under the direct supervision of the dentist. The equipment is checked regularly by the Medical Physics Department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Use is made of the latest advanced X-ray film processing machines to minimise the risk of faulty films and therefore unnecessary retaking of X-Rays If you have any concerns about the use of X-Rays, please discuss them with your dentist, expense and unnecessary suffering.
