At Plowman & Partners, we know how traumatising it can be when your teeth fall out, whether it was prematurely during an accident or due to tooth decay or gum disease. There are ranges of tooth replacement options available to you, but it is important that you find the one that is most suited to your unique circumstances. Alongside traditional tooth replacement treatments, our dentist in Marylebone also offers implant-supported appliances. These are of a much more permanent nature than alternative options as they offer an extremely long-lasting and durable way of replacing your teeth. They can be used to replace either a single tooth, a few teeth or even all of them. How many teeth you need replacing will be something that is discussed with one of our practitioners at your consultation appointment. If you would like to book a consultation appointment with our friendly dental team, then please do reach out to us either over the phone or via our website.
An appliance for every situation
At our practice, we know that every patient we treat is unique, as are their teeth. Tooth implants cater for this individuality, being suitable when replacing either one tooth or all of them. The first step to getting implants is to have a series of small titanium screws placed into your jawbone. How many you will need depends on how many teeth you want to replace and this is something that our dentist in Marylebone will discuss with you at your consultation. One implant is capable of supporting more than one artificial tooth, and a whole set of new teeth can be attached to as little as four implants in some cases. When replacing a full set of teeth, dentures are often attached to your implants, whilst crowns are generally used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth that are in isolated locations within your mouth. In instances where you are missing a few teeth next to each other or on either side of a remaining tooth, a bridge will often be attached to your implants to restore your smile and offer extra protection to your original tooth.
Look forward to smiling and eating again
Implants are amongst the only tooth replacement options that keep your jawbone stimulated even after tooth loss, preventing it from disintegrating over time and causing you additional problems in the future. They also offer a more permanent resolution to tooth loss, as they are not removable and will not come loose when subjected to heavy forces. This means that you can enjoy the chewiest of foods without worrying about your teeth getting stuck or coming loose. Once you have your new teeth you must take care of them efficiently if you wish for them to last you as long as possible. Our dentist in Marylebone will explain how to clean your teeth properly and recommend suitable products and brushes for you to use. Dental implants can last upwards of ten years when they are cared for properly.
Brighten up your oral outlook
We know that many of our patients have been living through testing and difficult times, and here at Plowman & Partners, we want every one of our patients to know that we are behind them 100% and are firmly committed to making sure that every smile which needs it can benefit from the help of one of our trained dental practitioners.
While getting regular or cosmetic treatments from our dentist in Marylebone might have proved difficult over the recent lockdown period, we are now overjoyed to report that all our staff and practitioners are back in service and helping our patients find their smiles once again.
What can a dentist in Marylebone help with?
At Plowman & Partners, we feel it is our responsibility – as an expert dentist in Marylebone – to provide all our patients with a tailored, individually-orientated dental service. We always take the time to initially get to know our patients and their dental needs and aspirations, before beginning any one course of treatment.
We’ve found that by taking a bespoke, individualist approach the dental services we offer our patients facilitates a far more mutually rewarding experience in which patients feel their needs are understood and reflected in the treatments we offer.
We offer a fully comprehensive dental service here at Plowman & Partners which ranges from cosmetic orthodontics and preventive treatments from our dental hygienist to cosmetic treatments such as veneers or restorative treatments such as dental implants.
As we offer such a massive expanse of treatments, we always start things off with a consultation to detail to every patient the specifics of each procedure and how it can be used to help them achieve their dental goals.
What does a dental hygienist do?
Since reopening our practice, we’ve witnessed a surge in the popularity of our dental hygienist. Rather than treating one or more cosmetic problems – as our cosmetic dentist does – the primary focus of a dental hygienist is to keep your teeth as fit and healthy as possible.
They achieve this through a range of methods which include anything from simple educational tips about proper brushing techniques to a professional deep-clean known as a scale and polish.
If you feel that your oral health has suffered somewhat as a result of the past years’ pandemic measures, then the best form of action you can take to get your smile back to its former beauty is to arrange for a session with our dental hygienist.
What is a scale and polish?
As mentioned, one of the main duties which our dental hygienist regularly provides to patients is a professional deep-clean procedure known as a scale and polish.
This is a two-step cleaning process that initially involves the use of an ultrasound scraper (and dental hand-tools) to remove any pockets of plaque, bacteria, tartar, and stains from all throughout the patient’s smile.
Once this stage has been complete, the hygienist then starts the ‘polish’ which uses a polishing tool to shine and buffer every tooth until they are sparklingly white and healthy-looking.
If you feel that a scale and polish could help restore the spark to your smile, then simply call or email us here at Plowman & Partners today, and we’ll book you in for a consultation.
Rediscover your smile
At Plowman & Partners, our practitioners empathise with all of our many patients who have had to put their oral health on ice over the past year – as getting regular help from their dentist in Marylebone may have proven more difficult than ever throughout the national lockdown.
Today our team of practitioners are overjoyed to be back in our practice and doing what they do best. Anyone who may feel their oral health has fallen slightly by the wayside over the last year shouldn’t worry – by contacting our highly trained and professional team today you can book a consultation and let us help you rediscover the beauty of a healthy smile.
What can a dentist in Marylebone do for me?
All of our practitioners here at Plowman & Partners have specialised in various fields of dentistry – and are recognised as such by the General Dental Council.
This means that when you book a consultation with our dentist in Marylebone you can instantly benefit from a world of expertise and knowledge across all things dental. Whether you are looking to improve the aesthetics of your smile, the straightness of your teeth, or to replace a lost tooth entirely we have the right practitioner for the job.
As we believe in providing a bespoke dental service that is moulded to fit the needs and requirements of the patient who is receiving it, we always begin every treatment – be it routine or complex – with a consultation.
We’ve found that these consultations are an excellent way for our practitioners to familiarise themselves with who each patient is, and what their unique needs are.
What cosmetic dental treatments are available?
Prior to the pandemic putting a pin in all our regular dental treatments, one of the most popular types of treatments we provided to patients were cosmetic dental ones.
These cover a massive expanse of different procedures – all of which are designed to target and treat one or more visual problems that patients have with their teeth.
One of the most popular forms of cosmetic density which we are not back to regularly providing to patients here at Plowman & Partners is dental whitening. Over time, the enamel of your teeth – which is the outermost layer – is prone to becoming slightly yellow or discoloured.
This discolouration can also be sped up by certain lifestyle choices and habits – such as smoking or drinking dark fluids like red wine or black coffee.
How can I treat dental staining?
When you notice your teeth are not as white as they once were, it can be a considerable knock to your self-esteem or confidence.
However, rather than choosing to hide away your smile, speak with one of our cosmetic dentists here at Plowman & Partners, we can facilitate dental whitening treatment which uses a peroxide-based gel to burn away any marks, stains, or discolouration from your enamel and leave your smile visibly whiter and cleaner looking.
We provide two forms of cosmetic whitening here which can be carried out within our practice for instant results – or at home for a more relaxed approach that achieves the same results over a slightly longer timeframe.
Whatever treatment you decided, taking action against discoloured teeth can be a massive self-esteem booster and give you the renewed confidence to show off your bright, white and elegant looking smile to anyone and everyone you can.
Back on track
Here at Plowman & Partners, we understand that the oral health of many of our patients has suffered over the past year, as receiving regular cosmetic and restorative treatments from our dentist in Marylebone may have been harder than before, due to the implications of the Covid:19 pandemic.
Today, however, we are delighted to be back to operating at 100% efficiency and can now provide anyone who needs it with a comprehensive range of specialist treatments that can fully restore their smile to its former, pre-lockdown glory.
What treatments are on offer?
At Plowman & Partners, our dentist in Marylebone is fully equipped to handle all varieties of dental problems – ranging from routine dental check-ups and deep-cleaning performed by our dental hygienist, to complex restorative treatments such as dental implants.
As we aim to provide the full spectrum of dental treatments, we always find the best approach for new patients is to conduct a consultation with them. This gives the patient a chance to tell our practitioners what their reasons for seeking dental care are, and what aspects of their smile they are hoping to address.
With this information, we can then formulate a completely unique treatment plan which aims to achieve these identified goals within a time frame that suits the patient’s schedule perfectly.
What are dental implants?
Losing one or more teeth is one of the hardest things that can happen to you – no matter what age you are, or how the loss came about. Alongside the social implications which a visible gap in your smile can bring – it can impact your employment prospects and love life – a missing tooth can also lead to several serious health implications, such as an alteration of your facial structure, a loss in some aspects of speech ability and difficulty eating.
Luckily here at Plowman & Partners, our dentist in Marylebone is well equipped to address the problem of one or more missing teeth on a permanent basis – through dental implants.
Unlike other treatments for lost teeth – such as crowns or dental bridges – implants are surgically embedded within the patient’s jaw and are therefore far more comfortable and durable.
What is the process of getting dental implants?
If you have lost one or more teeth then you should speak with one of our implant professionals here at Plowman & Partners to find out about your eligibility for implants.
After an initial consultation and examination to determine whether or not your gums and surrounding teeth will be healthy enough to successfully complete dental implant treatment, the process of installing dental implants goes as follows:
- Firstly a small hole is made in the gum and jawbone in the gap where the new tooth will be.
- Into this hole, the dental practitioner will then place a titanium-alloy socket, which is then sealed over and left to heal.
- Titanium-alloy is specifically used in dental implant treatment as it can uniquely bond itself together with natural bone tissue, which is what happens during this short healing period.
- After the socket has successfully bonded with the patient’s bone tissue, it can then be reopened, and a new prosthetic crown can be fixed in place.
Dental implants can be suited to patients of any age, providing their gums and teeth are healthy and strong enough. Therefore if you have lost a tooth – no matter how long ago – it’s always worth speaking to a professional about whether or not dental implants could help restore the functionality, strength, and aesthetics of your smile.
Having a working relationship with your dentist can allow you to access the treatments that you need in order to keep your smile looking and feeling as healthy as possible. A dentist can not only enhance your smile and keep your mouth feeling fresh and fully functional, but they can also screen for problems such as cancers. Catching issues such as this early can have a dramatic impact on the lives of our patients. We are a friendly and committed team who will always be there for our patients.

Cosmetic dentistry is an increasingly popular and sought after field of dentistry, which continues to evolve and become more convenient and accessible to meet the requirements of modern, hectic lifestyles. In the age of social media, photography and selfies, everyone wants a beautiful smile. Cosmetic dentistry is involved in improving the appearance of healthy teeth. Cosmetic treatment may include whitening of yellow teeth, straightening of misaligned teeth, disguising chipped or protruding teeth and improving the overall aesthetics of your smile. There are many different techniques involved in cosmetic dentistry to suit your individual requirements so speak to your dentist in Marylebone today to find out how we can help improve your smile.
Teeth whitening
Over the course of life, staining and discolouration of your teeth can affect the way you feel about your smile. Staining may occur due to many different reasons including smoking, food and drinks such as tea, coffee, cola and wine. Poor dental hygiene, dental issues and diseases can also lead to discolouration of the teeth. Ageing and genetics are also a natural cause of staining too. Tooth whitening at your dentist is an effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth and enhancing your smile. There are different treatment methods for teeth whitening, either professionally carried out at the dentist or home kits provided by the dentist which are worn overnight and work while you are sleeping. Speak to our dentist in Marylebone to find out which method of teeth whitening may be more suitable for you.
White fillings
White fillings are becoming increasingly popular amongst adults. In comparison to amalgam or gold fillings, white fillings are designed to be subtle, as they blend in with your surrounding teeth and provide a natural look as they are almost invisible. White fillings provide more support and stability as they are chemically bonded to your teeth and they have been found to require less of your teeth to be cut out when removing tooth decay, ultimately preserving the integrity of your original tooth. They are metal free and therefore they are not sensitive to changes in temperature or other factors in your mouth, preventing further damage to your teeth. White fillings can also be moulded to support and repair other damage in the teeth such as cracks, which helps strengthen the tooth further. Speak to our dentist in Marylebone to find out why white fillings may be an attractive treatment method for you.
Veneers
It may be a good idea to contact us at Plowman & Partners to find out how veneers can be used to help protect your teeth and to improve the aesthetics of your mouth. Veneers are thin, individually tailored shells that are attached to the front of your teeth permanently and can be coloured to match your teeth or according to personal preference. Veneers are used in the treatment of chips and cracks of the teeth, gaps between the teeth, issues with the enamel, misalignment and teeth staining. In case of a chipped or cracked tooth, you may only need one veneer or if you are unhappy with the aesthetics of your mouth you may decide to have a set of veneers to help transform your smile completely. Speak to your dentist today to find out about the many different types of cosmetic dentistry available and how veneers may be a suitable choice for you.
Tooth loss in adults can be extremely embarrassing, distressing and a worrying situation to find yourself in. In the event of tooth loss, it is vital that you speak to us immediately as advances in dental technology mean that there are a wide range of options available for replacing a lost tooth or missing teeth. Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry that concerns the development and implantation of prosthetic substitutes for tooth loss. Prosthodontics help regain lost functions of the mouth, for example issues with talking, chewing and eating that may have occurred due to tooth loss. It can help maintain and enhance the quality of the remaining natural dentition and it can be used in cosmetic dentistry to treat aesthetic issues as well. Speak to our dentist in Marylebone today to find out which treatment is suitable for your individual requirements.
Dental implants to resolve tooth loss
Dental implants are an increasingly popular choice of tooth replacement therapy amongst both patients and dentists, so speak to our dentist in Marylebone today to find out how they may be the ideal treatment choice for you. Dental implants are small titanium components which become permanent fixtures in the mouth, as they are designed to fuse with the bone providing strong support for replacement teeth. The implant is fitted into the bone socket of the missing tooth and osteoblasts, bone cells, grow around the dental implant securing it permanently into the alveolar bone of the jaw. This is a process where it can take up to several months for the implant to be successfully fused into the bone. Once this has successfully occurred, a small connector known as an abutment, is attached to the implant to which the new prosthetic is attached so that it can be held securely in place.
Implant retained dentures for tooth loss
Dentures are prosthetic devices created to replace your missing teeth. Conventional dentures are removable, so they can be put in your mouth and taken out whenever necessary. They are very convenient for tooth loss, however if you are looking for a more fixed or permanent solution speak to us at Plowman & Partners today to find out about implant retained dentures and how they may be suitable for you. Dental implants are first inserted into the alveolar bone of your jaw and following successful fusion with the bone and the attachment of the abutment, your dentures will be attached to the implant via the abutment. Implant retained dentures are a popular choice of tooth replacement therapy, as they have many advantages in comparison to conventional dentures. They replace the entire tooth structure including the root of the tooth therefore providing reliability, added support, comfort and stability when compared to ordinary dentures which sometimes can move or fall out of the mouth and be a hindrance during talking, eating, coughing or sneezing. They are secured beneath the gum line which enhances their natural appearance as well. Speak to our dentist in Marylebone today to find out how dental implants and implant retained dentures can not only improve the overall health and functioning of your mouth, but also allow you to smile confidently and happily again.
Preventive therapy is a major field of dentistry which is involved in looking after your teeth to keep them healthy and prevent the development of dental problems later on in life. This is at the heart of our ethos at Plowman & Partners. Maintaining good dental hygiene and oral health is vital for overall well-being and can help avoid issues such as cavities, tooth decay, gingivitis, periodontitis and ultimately help prevent tooth loss. Regular check-ups with our dentist in Marylebone are extremely important to check for issues with the teeth or gums. It is recommended that you should visit the dentist at least twice a year to ensure that your everyday oral hygiene skills, brushing and flossing, are effective in maintaining your healthy teeth. More frequent visits to our dentist in Marylebone are recommended and will be beneficial for those who are at higher risk of dental problems or have presented with issues already. Regular check-ups will enable our dentist to identify dental problems as early as possible, making them easier to treat, with a greater chance of a successful outcome, and can also help prevent any possible negative impact on surrounding healthy dentition.
Dental hygiene and the role of the hygienist
Regular appointments with the hygienist are important for maintaining the good health of your teeth. The hygienist also plays a vital role in preventive dentistry. An appointment with the hygienist includes a thorough examination of the teeth and a full professional clean of the mouth at a standard which will not be possible at home. The hygienist uses scaling and polishing techniques to remove plaque and calculus from the teeth. Plaque is the sticky transparent film that forms on the surface of the teeth and when left untreated hardens over time and becomes calculus. Calculus provides an ideal surface for further plaque build-up, bacteria flourish in the plaque and secrete acids which results in problems such as bad breath, receding gums, tooth decay and eventually periodontal disease which is severe infection of the gums and may result in tooth loss. Calculus cannot be removed by brushing or flossing at home, therefore regular appointments with the hygienist are important in preventing such issues in the long run. The hygienist also plays a role in giving advice and education on how to look after your teeth to the highest standard possible.
Periodontics
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry which concerns the study and treatment of diseases of the periodontium. This is the surrounding and supporting structures of the teeth including the gums, jawbone, the cementum which attaches the tooth to the jawbone and the periodontal ligament which holds the tooth in position. Periodontal diseases include gingivitis, which is a common infection and inflammation of the gums, and periodontitis which is the inflammation and infection of the other structures of the periodontium. When left untreated gingivitis can result in periodontitis which can be severely painful and ultimately result in tooth loss. Regular visits to our dentist in Marylebone and follow-up appointments with the hygienist can help prevent such diseases. However if they do unfortunately present themselves, periodontal treatment includes cleaning, scaling and root planing, whilst more progressive stages of the disease can require surgery. If left untreated periodontal disease will result in tooth loss, therefore speak to us today to find out how your dentist can help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile and prevent dental issues in the future.
