Comprehensive services for general dentistry meet state-of-the-art approaches
Over the years, our esteemed orthodontists at West London Orthodontist Cosmetic Dental Studios have collaborated with top dental experts across various fields. Drs. Chaw-Su Kyi, Sepideh Heydarian, and Sneha S. Kubal only work with the best in the industry. This includes offering a variety of treatment options for patients to consider, including general dentistry. As the term implies, general dentistry is not just about a specific service or treatment type. Instead, it encompasses a wide range of skills to ensure, restore, and promote oral health.
Why is holistic dental care important?
The array of services at our dental studios in the West London area makes us capable of treating everyone, from children and adults to senior citizens. Our services are comprehensive, so our young patients do not outgrow our practice. As patients’ needs and health conditions change, we have the in-house capabilities to cater to even the most complex cosmetic and rehabilitative cases. Patients can continue to rely on our expert team whose skills they already respect and trust. While our care is highly customized, everyone of all ages can enjoy our preventative, proactive services to achieve and maintain oral health while focusing on holistic and safe solutions.
Why is it important to be proactive with dental care and maintenance?
Regular check-ups and oral health examinations safeguard teeth and gums from disease and decay. These routine visits are typically scheduled twice a year. During these appointments, we evaluate the state and condition of your teeth and supporting tissues. Our skilled hygienists also work hard to remove disease-causing substances like stubborn plaque build-up from the teeth during these visits to our state-of-the-art dental and orthodontic facility.
These procedures perform two crucial functions you can’t achieve with home care alone:
- Detecting hidden, early-stage, or subtle issues before they cause damage
- Reducing the risk of dental decay, gum disease, and other oral concerns
We provide recommendations for cleaning techniques and products suited to your needs. Home maintenance and professional care are both vital for oral health.
Why visit West London Orthodontist Cosmetic Dental Studios?
At our office, we are setting a new standard in dental care. We offer a wide array of cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures under our general dentistry. However, our emphasis on proactive care reduces the need for cosmetic or restorative procedures due to oral damage.

What about cosmetic enhancements to the smile?
Our office offers patients a wealth of experience, advanced knowledge, and an uncompromising dedication to high-quality dental care. For example, we use BPA-free composites, metal-free crowns, and ultra-thin ceramic veneers to create the safest, most natural, and long-lasting dental restorations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit?
During your first visit, your dentist will typically take a comprehensive medical and dental history to understand your health and past treatments. Next, a thorough examination will be conducted, which may include digital X-rays to identify underlying issues. The dentist will also assess your oral hygiene practices and check for gum disease, cavities, and other concerns. Depending on your specific needs, the visit may include a professional cleaning.
How frequently should I schedule dental check-ups?
For checkups and cleanings, most dental specialists recommend visiting the dentist twice a year. However, your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your needs. Factors such as your oral health, risk of cavities, or gum disease may necessitate more frequent visits. Discussing your dental history and any concerns is essential to create a customized plan that works for you.
What are the best practices for maintaining proper dental health at home?
Proper dental health helps prevent dental issues. Use fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and below the gumline. Additionally, consider using an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce plaque build-up. A healthy diet low in sugary snacks and beverages also supports your oral health. Avoid habits like smoking or chewing tobacco with more nutritious alternatives, as they can negatively impact your mouth.
What should I do if I experience dental pain or discomfort?
If you experience dental pain or discomfort, it’s essential to contact your dentist as soon as possible. Pain may indicate issues like cavities, infection, or gum disease requiring immediate attention. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers may help alleviate discomfort. Avoid hot or cold foods that could exacerbate sensitivity, and stick to a soft diet. Your dentist will evaluate your case and recommend appropriate treatment options.
Are dental X-rays safe, and how often will I need them?
Dental X-rays are essential for diagnosing problems that are not visible during a routine examination. Modern X-ray technology uses less radiation than before, making it safe for most patients. The frequency of X-rays depends on your dental health, age, and risk factors. Typically, new patients may have X-rays taken during their initial examination, with follow-up X-rays every one to two years or as needed to monitor changing dental conditions.
What financing options or payment plans are available?
Most dental practices offer a variety of payment options to accommodate different budgets. It’s always a good idea to ask about financing plans, insurance compatibility, and any available discount programs. Some offices provide payment plans that allow you to pay for larger treatments over time. Ask how to optimize dental insurance benefits, including which procedures are covered and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
How can I improve my dental anxiety during visits?
Dental anxiety is common, but there are several strategies to help manage it. Openly discuss your fears with your dentist; they can offer recommendations tailored to your needs, such as sedation options or calming techniques. Many people find benefits in practicing deep breathing exercises or using visualization techniques before and during their appointments. Additionally, bringing a friend or family member for support can help ease nerves and create a more comfortable experience.
