Dental Examination & Preventive Dentistry in West Hampstead

At our established dental practice in West Hampstead, a dental examination (or dental check-up) is much more than simply checking your teeth. It is a comprehensive assessment of your oral health designed to help prevent problems before they develop and maintain a healthy, confident smile for the long term.

For more than 30 years, our clinic has cared for patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead and North West London, building long-standing relationships founded on trust, clinical excellence and personalised care.

Our practice is led by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, an Academic Clinical Lecturer with over 30 years of experience in dentistry and more than 25 years of clinical practice in London, including North West London. Combining academic involvement with extensive clinical experience, Dr Ariakish provides thoughtful, evidence-based care with particular expertise in gum disease treatment, dental implants and aesthetic dentistry.

Our practice has also been recognised nationally, receiving both the Best Dental Practice Award and the Best Dental Team Award at the Dentistry Awards, reflecting our ongoing commitment to exceptional patient care and clinical standards.

What Happens During a Dental Examination?

Whether you are attending for a routine dental check-up, experiencing dental concerns, or looking for a trusted private dentist in West Hampstead or Hampstead, we take time to understand your individual needs and priorities.

During your appointment, we listen carefully to your concerns, symptoms and treatment goals. We believe excellent dentistry begins with communication, enabling us to provide highly personalised care tailored to your oral health needs.

Your examination includes a comprehensive assessment of the:

Teeth and existing restorations
Gums and periodontal (gum) health
Jaw joints (TMJ) and bite function
Head, neck and facial structures
Soft tissues and oral cancer screening
Signs of tooth wear, grinding or clenching

Digital dental X-rays may be recommended where clinically appropriate to support accurate diagnosis and identify concerns that may not always be visible during a routine examination.

If any concerns are identified, we take the time to explain our findings clearly and discuss all suitable treatment options with you in detail, helping you make informed decisions about your care.

Common Questions About Dental Examinations

What happens during a dental examination?
A dental examination involves checking your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, oral tissues and overall oral health. Where clinically appropriate, digital X-rays may also be taken to support diagnosis.

How often should I have a dental check-up?
This depends on your oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients benefit from examinations every six months, while others may require more personalised review intervals.

Do you screen for oral cancer?
Yes. Oral cancer screening forms an important part of every comprehensive dental examination.

Do I need X-rays at every visit?
Not necessarily. X-rays are only recommended when clinically appropriate and beneficial to diagnosis or treatment planning.

Emergency

Emergency

What is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and often at the most inconvenient times, affecting your comfort, sleep, work and ability to eat or drink normally. At our West Hampstead dental practice, we understand how distressing dental pain and urgent dental problems can be, which is why we provide same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible for patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London.

Our practice is led by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, an Academic Clinical Lecturer with over 30 years of experience in dentistry and more than 25 years of clinical practice in London, including North West London. Combining academic involvement with extensive clinical experience, Dr Ariakish provides thoughtful, evidence-based care with particular expertise in gum disease treatment, dental implants and aesthetic dentistry.

Our practice has also been recognised nationally, receiving both the Best Dental Practice Award and the Best Dental Team Award at the Dentistry Awards, reflecting our ongoing commitment to exceptional patient care, advanced dentistry and high clinical standards.

We have experienced clinicians across multiple areas of dentistry to help diagnose and manage a wide range of urgent dental concerns, from toothache and facial swelling to broken teeth, gum infections and restorative problems. Our team also provides ongoing care in advanced treatments including gum disease treatment, dental implants, Invisalign treatment, porcelain veneers, ceramic veneers and cosmetic dentistry.

Emergency Dental Pain

Dental pain can develop for many reasons and should never be ignored if it is persistent or worsening. Common causes include tooth decay, infection, exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession, cracked teeth, failing fillings or inflammation of the dental nerve.

Persistent toothache may indicate an underlying infection or gum disease that requires professional assessment. Seeking prompt dental advice can help relieve discomfort and prevent more complex treatment later.

Our North West London dental team provides careful diagnosis and evidence-based treatment planning to identify the source of pain and recommend the most appropriate care, whether this involves preventive treatment, restorative dentistry, root canal treatment or periodontal care.

Broken or Damaged Teeth

Teeth can fracture or break due to trauma, biting forces, large fillings, untreated decay or general wear over time. Broken front teeth can be particularly concerning both aesthetically and functionally, affecting confidence, speech and eating.

Where appropriate, damaged teeth may be restored using modern cosmetic and restorative dentistry techniques including tooth-coloured fillings, porcelain or ceramic veneers, crowns or dental implants for severely compromised teeth.

Prompt assessment is recommended following any dental injury to improve the chances of preserving the tooth and preventing further complications.

Facial Swelling & Dental Infection

Facial swelling can arise from several causes, including dental infections, gum abscesses, blocked salivary glands or skin conditions. If swelling is associated with tooth pain, gum tenderness or difficulty chewing, it may indicate an underlying dental infection.

Rapidly developing facial swelling can occasionally become serious and may require urgent dental treatment and, in some cases, antibiotic therapy. Early assessment is important to identify the cause and prevent the infection from progressing.

If you are experiencing facial swelling, severe toothache or signs of infection, we recommend contacting our emergency dental team as soon as possible for advice and urgent care.

Experienced, Patient-Focused Dentistry in West Hampstead

We are proud to provide comprehensive dental care for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London, combining advanced clinical expertise with a warm, personalised approach.

Whether you require emergency dental treatment, gum disease treatment, dental implants, Invisalign, porcelain veneers, ceramic veneers or cosmetic dentistry, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs and long-term oral health.

Children’s Dentistry

Children’s Dentistry

What is Children’s Dentistry?

At our West Hampstead dental practice, children’s dentistry is designed to focus on prevention, education, and gentle guidance, helping young patients build a positive relationship with oral health from an early age. We aim to make each visit a calm and reassuring experience, so children can feel comfortable in the dental environment and develop confidence in looking after their teeth.

We recognise that early dental experiences can strongly influence how children feel about dentistry later in life. For this reason, we take a patient, friendly approach that encourages trust, reduces anxiety, and supports the development of healthy daily habits.

For over 30 years, our clinic has been caring for families across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London, offering consistent, high-quality dental care built on long-term relationships and a strong community presence.

Paediatric and family care is overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both academic dentistry and over 25 years of clinical practice. In children’s dentistry, his approach is particularly focused on prevention, early intervention, and ensuring treatment is delivered in a calm and reassuring manner that supports long-term oral health.

By combining clinical experience with a supportive and friendly atmosphere, we help both children and parents feel confident in maintaining good oral hygiene habits that can last well into adulthood.

Preventive Dentistry for Children

Dental decay remains one of the most common health conditions affecting children in the UK, with studies continuing to show that many children experience tooth decay at an early age. Untreated decay can lead to pain, disturbed sleep, difficulty eating, missed school days and additional stress for families.

While treating dental problems is important, our primary goal is prevention. We focus on educating children and parents about effective brushing techniques, healthy dietary habits, nutrition and fluoride use to help reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum problems.

Regular dental examinations also allow us to monitor how the teeth and jaws are developing, helping identify any concerns early and reducing the likelihood of more complex treatment later.

Our children’s dentistry services form part of our wider commitment to comprehensive family dental care, including preventive dentistry, gum disease treatment, Invisalign, orthodontic assessment, cosmetic dentistry and restorative dental care.

Signs Your Child May Need to See a Dentist or Orthodontist

If your child is experiencing any of the symptoms below, it may be advisable to arrange an assessment with a dentist or orthodontist. Early diagnosis can often help prevent problems from progressing and may reduce the need for more extensive treatment in the future.

Dark or Discoloured Teeth

Children’s teeth can appear dark, yellow or discoloured for several reasons, including staining, dental decay or previous trauma to the tooth.

What to do

Initially, gently clean the area and see whether the staining improves with regular brushing. If the tooth is painful, sensitive or has changed colour following an injury, it should be assessed by a dentist to determine whether treatment is required.

Wobbly Teeth

Loose baby teeth are usually a normal part of childhood and indicate that the adult teeth are beginning to come through. However, adult teeth should not normally feel loose and may require assessment.

What to do

In most cases, wobbly baby teeth will fall out naturally in their own time. If an adult tooth feels loose, or if you are unsure whether the tooth is a baby or adult tooth, we recommend arranging a dental examination for reassurance and professional advice.

Facial Swelling

Facial swelling in children can develop quickly and is often a sign of infection. If swelling occurs around the gums or alongside tooth pain, this may indicate a dental abscess or infection requiring urgent attention.

What to do

A child with facial swelling should be assessed by a dentist as soon as possible, as untreated dental infections can spread and may become more serious if left unmanaged.

Crooked or Crowded Teeth

Teeth can emerge in different positions as children grow, and some degree of crowding or irregularity is relatively common. In certain cases, early orthodontic assessment may help guide development and reduce the need for more complex orthodontic treatment later.

What to do

If you are concerned about crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, an early orthodontic evaluation can help determine whether monitoring or treatment may be beneficial.

Trusted Family Dentistry in North West London

We are proud to provide family and children’s dentistry for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London, combining experienced clinical care with a warm and personalised approach.

Whether your child requires a routine dental examination, preventive care, orthodontic assessment or treatment for a dental concern, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based care tailored to their individual needs and long-term oral health.

Hygiene

Hygiene

What is Hygiene?

Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining long-term dental health, and regular visits to the dental hygienist play a key role in preventing problems before they develop. Through professional cleaning, tailored advice, and ongoing support, our hygienists help patients keep their teeth and gums healthy and reduce the risk of future dental disease.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, our hygiene team is trained to detect early signs of gum disease and other oral health concerns. By focusing on prevention and maintenance, routine hygiene appointments contribute not only to a cleaner smile but also to improved long-term oral health and reduced need for complex treatment later on.

For over three decades, we have provided dental care to patients from West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and across North West London. Our approach is built on continuity, trust, and a commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality care to the local community.

Preventive and periodontal care is overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, whose clinical experience in London spans more than 25 years alongside an academic background in dentistry. Within the context of hygiene and gum health, his focus is on early detection, prevention of periodontal disease, and supporting long-term stability of oral tissues through evidence-based care.

Our clinic has also received national recognition, including awards for both clinical excellence and team performance at the Dentistry Awards, reflecting our ongoing dedication to maintaining high standards in patient care and preventive dentistry.

Gum Disease (Periodontitis)

Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is extremely common and can often progress silently if left untreated. Symptoms may include:

Bleeding gums
Inflamed or swollen gums
Gum sensitivity or discomfort
Receding gums
Persistent bad breath
Pain when brushing
Loose or wobbly teeth

Periodontitis is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, which is why we place such a strong emphasis on prevention, early diagnosis and ongoing maintenance.

In its early stages, gum disease is highly treatable. However, if inflammation and infection persist over a prolonged period, the disease can begin to affect the supporting bone and tissues around the teeth. This may eventually lead to pain, recurrent infections, gum recession, tooth mobility and tooth loss.

Our preventive approach combines regular hygiene care, personalised oral hygiene instruction and professional periodontal assessment to help patients maintain healthy gums and reduce the risk of disease progression.

Professional Dental Hygiene Appointments

We believe that regular visits to the hygienist are essential for maintaining healthy gums and supporting long-term oral health. Most patients benefit from maintenance hygiene appointments at least twice yearly, although more frequent visits may be recommended depending on individual gum health and risk factors.

Our dental hygiene appointments in West Hampstead typically last approximately 30–45 minutes and may include:

A detailed discussion about your current oral hygiene routine and areas for improvement
Comprehensive assessment of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth
Professional cleaning of the teeth and gums, including stain removal and polishing
Personalised oral hygiene instruction tailored to your specific needs
Preventive advice relating to brushing technique, interdental cleaning, diet and gum health

Our aim is always to provide supportive, practical and evidence-based advice that helps patients maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits.

Advanced Gum Treatment & Periodontal Care

More advanced forms of gum disease can affect both the health and appearance of the smile. Progressive gum recession and bone loss may create spaces between the teeth, often referred to as “black triangles,” or cause teeth to appear longer.

In selected cases, advanced periodontal and regenerative procedures may help improve both gum health and aesthetics by restoring lost tissue, reshaping the gum line or improving the appearance of excessive gum display, sometimes referred to as a “gummy smile.”

These treatments often involve collaboration with a specialist periodontist — a dentist with advanced training in the diagnosis and management of gum disease and the supporting structures of the teeth. Our periodontists work closely with our hygienists and restorative dental team to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care tailored to each patient.

Teeth Whitening

Our experienced hygienists are also trained in professional teeth whitening treatments, including Enlighten and Philips Zoom whitening systems.

Professional teeth whitening can safely and effectively improve the brightness of your smile while being carefully supervised by qualified dental professionals. Suitability for whitening treatment will always be assessed during your consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your oral health needs.

Please visit our teeth whitening page for further information about the whitening systems available at our practice.

Comprehensive Preventive Dentistry in North West London

We are proud to provide advanced preventive and periodontal care for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London.

Whether you require routine hygiene maintenance, gum disease treatment, periodontal care, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants or teeth whitening, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based dentistry in a calm and personalised environment focused on your long-term oral health.

Fillings

Fillings

What are Fillings?

Tooth decay is one of the most widespread dental conditions, affecting both adults and children. In many cases, it begins gradually and without obvious symptoms, meaning it can progress unnoticed until it reaches deeper layers of the tooth. At that stage, patients may start to notice sensitivity, discomfort, or pain when eating and drinking.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we focus strongly on early detection and preventive care, aiming to identify decay at its earliest stage and reduce the need for more complex restorative treatment. Routine dental check-ups play an important role in spotting small areas of decay before they develop into larger problems.

For over 30 years, we have been providing dental care to patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our long-standing presence in the community reflects a consistent commitment to quality care, trust, and continuity of treatment.

Preventive and restorative care is led by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with more than 25 years of experience in practice and a strong academic background in dentistry. In relation to tooth decay and restorative treatment, his clinical approach centres on early intervention, minimally invasive care where possible, and preserving natural tooth structure through evidence-based techniques.

Our clinic has also been recognised nationally at the Dentistry Awards, receiving accolades for both practice excellence and team performance, highlighting our continued dedication to high clinical standards and patient-focused dentistry.

Understanding Tooth Decay

Tooth decay develops when bacteria naturally present within the mouth break down dietary sugars and produce acids that gradually damage the tooth surface. Over time, this acid attack weakens the enamel and can eventually create cavities within the tooth.

Preventing dental decay involves a combination of:

Good oral hygiene practices
Effective brushing and interdental cleaning
Sensible dietary habits and sugar reduction
Regular dental examinations and hygiene visits
Preventive fluoride advice and care

Our goal is not only to treat dental problems, but also to educate and support patients in maintaining long-term oral health through preventive and minimally invasive dentistry.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

When tooth decay or tooth wear has caused damage to the structure of a tooth, fillings are used to restore strength, function and appearance.

Modern tooth fillings are available in a variety of materials and can be used to repair teeth affected by decay, fractures or general wear. Some fillings may be temporary, particularly during staged treatments such as root canal therapy, where the tooth requires protection between appointments.

Permanent restorations may either be placed directly during your appointment or custom-made by a dental laboratory, depending on the size and complexity of the restoration.

Inlays & Onlays

For larger restorations, laboratory-made fillings known as inlays and onlays may be recommended.

Inlays fit within the cusps of the tooth
Onlays extend over the biting surface to provide additional protection and reinforcement

Compared with traditional dental crowns, inlays and onlays are often considered a more conservative treatment option because they preserve more healthy natural tooth structure.

These restorations may be fabricated from advanced dental materials including porcelain, zirconia or gold, depending on the clinical requirements and aesthetic preferences of the patient.

White Composite Fillings

At our North West London dental practice, we use modern white tooth-coloured composite fillings as part of our minimally invasive and aesthetic approach to restorative dentistry.

Composite resin materials are carefully matched to the natural shade of the teeth, providing a highly aesthetic restoration while also offering excellent strength and durability for many clinical situations.

Tooth-coloured fillings have become increasingly popular because they:

Blend naturally with the surrounding teeth
Allow conservative preparation of the tooth
Are durable and versatile
Avoid the metallic appearance associated with amalgam fillings

Treatment recommendations are always based on the individual tooth, the extent of damage and long-term functional considerations.

The Tooth Filling Procedure

Your comfort is an important priority throughout treatment. Local anaesthetic is normally used to numb the area and ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

The treatment process typically involves:

Careful removal of tooth decay or damaged tooth structure
Cleaning and preparation of the tooth surface
Conditioning of the tooth using specialised bonding materials to improve adhesion
Placement and shaping of the tooth-coloured composite material
Hardening of the filling material using a curing light
Final adjustments, polishing and bite assessment to ensure comfortable function

Once completed, the restored tooth is designed to function comfortably while maintaining a natural appearance.

Comprehensive Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry in West Hampstead

We are proud to provide advanced restorative and preventive dentistry for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London.

Whether you require routine dental examinations, tooth-coloured fillings, inlays and onlays, gum disease treatment, dental implants, Invisalign or cosmetic dentistry, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based care in a calm and personalised environment focused on long-term oral health and aesthetic excellence.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth Extraction

In most cases, preserving natural teeth is always the preferred outcome. However, there are situations where a tooth becomes too damaged to restore and removal may be the most appropriate option for protecting overall oral health. This can happen due to extensive decay, advanced gum disease, severe infection, or trauma.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, every effort is made to avoid extraction by using preventive and restorative techniques wherever possible. When removal is necessary, it is only recommended after careful assessment and when the tooth is no longer suitable for predictable long-term restoration, or when retaining it could negatively affect surrounding teeth and gums.

For over three decades, we have been providing dental care to patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our approach has always been centred on trust, continuity, and delivering consistent, high-quality treatment within the local community.

Decisions around tooth removal and complex restorative care are overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both clinical practice and academic dentistry. In the context of extractions, his focus is on careful diagnosis, conservative decision-making, and exploring all viable options to preserve natural teeth before considering removal.

Our practice has also been recognised nationally at the Dentistry Awards, receiving awards for both clinical excellence and team performance, reflecting our ongoing commitment to high standards of care and patient-focused dentistry.

When Might a Tooth Need to Be Extracted?

A tooth may require extraction if it has:

Extensive tooth decay that cannot be predictably restored
Advanced gum disease affecting the supporting bone and tissues
Severe infection or abscess formation
Significant fracture or traumatic injury
Poor long-term prognosis despite treatment
Impaction, commonly seen with wisdom teeth

Before recommending extraction, we carefully assess whether there is sufficient healthy tooth structure, bone and gum support to restore and maintain the tooth successfully.

Replacing Missing Teeth

We understand that losing a tooth can feel concerning both functionally and aesthetically. Before any extraction is carried out, we will always discuss the available options for replacing missing teeth so that you are fully informed about your treatment choices and long-term oral health.

Replacement options may include:

Monitoring the space where appropriate
Removable dentures
Dental bridges
Dental implants

Where suitable, we may also be able to provide a temporary denture or temporary bridge in advance of the extraction so that there is no visible gap immediately following treatment.

Our team provides comprehensive restorative and cosmetic dentistry solutions tailored to your individual needs, helping restore comfort, appearance and confidence following tooth loss.

Comfortable & Gentle Tooth Removal

Modern dental extractions should not be painful. Local anaesthetic is carefully administered to numb the area fully before treatment begins, ensuring the procedure is carried out as comfortably as possible.

Your comfort and wellbeing remain our priority throughout treatment, and we will never proceed if you are experiencing pain.

For anxious or nervous patients, we take additional time to explain each stage of the procedure and provide reassurance in a calm and supportive environment.

Wisdom Teeth & Surgical Extractions

Some teeth, particularly wisdom teeth, may become impacted or trapped beneath the gums or against neighbouring teeth. Impacted teeth can sometimes require more advanced surgical techniques for safe removal.

Our practice uses modern diagnostic imaging, advanced surgical equipment and evidence-based techniques to carefully plan and carry out surgical extractions where required.

Sedation for Nervous Patients

We understand that dental treatment — particularly tooth extraction — can feel daunting for some patients. For individuals who experience significant dental anxiety or nervousness, we offer conscious sedation to help make treatment more relaxed and comfortable.

Sedation typically involves administering medication through a small cannula placed in the hand or arm, helping patients feel calm, relaxed and less aware of the procedure while remaining responsive throughout treatment.

Suitability for sedation will always be carefully assessed in advance to ensure it is appropriate and safe for each individual patient.

Aftercare Following Tooth Extraction

Following your extraction, we will provide detailed post-operative instructions and personalised aftercare advice to support healing and minimise the risk of complications.

Our team remains available to answer questions and provide ongoing support throughout your recovery process.

Experienced Restorative & Surgical Dentistry in North West London

Whether you require a routine extraction, wisdom tooth assessment, sedation dentistry, gum disease treatment, dental implants or cosmetic dentistry, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs and long-term oral health.

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Inside every tooth is a delicate system of nerves and blood vessels located within the pulp chamber and root canals. This living tissue allows the tooth to respond to sensations such as temperature, pressure, and pain. When this area becomes inflamed or infected—often due to deep decay, trauma, cracks in the tooth, or advanced gum disease—it can result in persistent discomfort and may require root canal treatment.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we focus on preserving natural teeth wherever possible using conservative and evidence-based approaches. Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a predictable and effective way of treating infection within the tooth while maintaining its structure and avoiding extraction in many cases.

For over 30 years, we have been providing dental care to patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our long-standing presence reflects a commitment to continuity of care, clinical consistency, and strong patient relationships within the local community.

Endodontic and restorative care is overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both academic dentistry and more than 25 years in clinical practice. In root canal treatment cases, his approach is centred on accurate diagnosis, careful preservation of tooth structure, and delivering predictable, long-term outcomes using evidence-based techniques.

Our practice has also received national recognition at the Dentistry Awards, where it has been awarded for both clinical excellence and team performance, reflecting our ongoing commitment to high standards of care and patient-focused dentistry.

Root canal treatment involves carefully cleaning and disinfecting the internal canal system of the tooth in order to remove inflamed or infected nerve tissue and bacteria.

Using delicate endodontic instruments and modern techniques, the root canals are gently cleaned, shaped and disinfected before being sealed with a specialised biocompatible filling material designed to prevent bacteria from re-entering the tooth.

Once treatment is completed, the tooth can usually be restored with a filling or crown to strengthen and protect it for long-term function.

Root canal treatment has a high success rate and, in many cases, allows patients to retain their natural teeth comfortably for many years.

Saving Natural Teeth Wherever Possible

Whenever clinically appropriate, preserving natural teeth is generally considered preferable to extraction. Although dental implants, bridges and dentures can all be highly successful tooth replacement options, they do not fully replicate the structure and function of a natural tooth.

Root canal treatment often provides an opportunity to relieve pain, eliminate infection and maintain the natural tooth in a predictable and conservative manner.

If a tooth cannot be saved, we will always discuss all available replacement options with you, including dental implants, bridges and removable dentures, so that you can make a fully informed decision about your care.

Comfortable Care for Nervous Patients

We understand that many patients feel anxious about root canal treatment, often because they are already in pain or may have had previous difficult dental experiences.

Our team regularly treats patients with dental anxiety and phobias and takes time to ensure treatment is carried out as gently and comfortably as possible. Modern root canal procedures are typically performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring the tooth is fully numb throughout treatment.

For patients who feel particularly nervous or anxious, we also offer conscious sedation. Sedation involves administering medication through a small cannula placed in the hand or arm, helping patients feel calm, relaxed and more comfortable during the procedure while remaining responsive throughout treatment.

Suitability for sedation is always carefully assessed beforehand to ensure safe and appropriate care.

Advanced Restorative Dentistry in North West London

We are proud to provide advanced restorative and endodontic care for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London.

Whether you require root canal treatment, emergency dental care, gum disease treatment, dental implants, Invisalign or cosmetic dentistry, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based dentistry tailored to your individual needs in a calm, supportive and professional environment.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom Teeth

What is Root Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom tooth problems are a common issue, particularly among young adults. These teeth are the last to erupt, typically appearing in the late teenage years or early twenties. As they begin to come through, they can sometimes cause discomfort similar to teething, especially when there is insufficient space in the mouth for them to emerge properly.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we routinely assess wisdom teeth to determine whether they are developing normally or causing potential problems. Our approach is focused on prevention and early management, helping patients avoid pain, infection, and recurring inflammation associated with impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth.

For over three decades, we have been providing dental care to patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our practice has developed strong, long-term relationships within the community, built on trust, consistency, and a commitment to high-quality clinical care.

Wisdom tooth assessment and management are overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both academic dentistry and over 25 years of clinical practice. In cases involving third molars, his focus is on careful clinical evaluation, conservative decision-making, and ensuring that any intervention is only carried out when clinically necessary and in the patient’s best long-term interest.

Our clinic has also received national recognition at the Dentistry Awards, where it has been awarded for both clinical excellence and team performance, reflecting our continued dedication to high standards of patient care.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Cause Problems?

Wisdom teeth are unique because their size, shape, root formation and eruption position can vary considerably from person to person. In many cases, there may not be enough room within the jaw for the wisdom teeth to emerge properly.

As a result, wisdom teeth can sometimes become:

Partially erupted
Trapped beneath the gums
Positioned at an angle
Pressed against neighbouring teeth

This is commonly referred to as an impacted wisdom tooth, meaning the tooth is unable to erupt normally due to obstruction from the surrounding bone, gum tissue or adjacent teeth.

Symptoms of Wisdom Tooth Infection

When wisdom teeth partially erupt, the gum tissue surrounding the tooth can become inflamed and difficult to clean effectively. Food debris and bacteria may collect beneath the gum flap around the tooth, increasing the risk of irritation and infection.

Common symptoms may include:

Pain or tenderness around the wisdom tooth
Swollen or inflamed gums
Difficulty cleaning the area
Bad taste or bad breath
Pain when biting
Jaw discomfort or stiffness
Facial swelling
Difficulty opening the mouth fully
Fever or feeling unwell in more severe cases

The opposing wisdom tooth may also bite onto the swollen gum tissue, worsening irritation and contributing to repeated cycles of inflammation and infection.

Managing Wisdom Tooth Problems

Many mild wisdom tooth problems can often be managed conservatively with improved oral hygiene and careful cleaning around the affected area.

Treatment may include:

Detailed oral hygiene advice
Professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist
Antibacterial mouth rinses where appropriate
Monitoring of the tooth position and symptoms
Management of infection and inflammation

However, if symptoms become recurrent, severe or difficult to manage, wisdom tooth removal may be recommended to prevent ongoing pain and infection.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Where extraction is required, careful assessment and planning are essential. Some wisdom teeth can be removed relatively simply, while impacted wisdom teeth may require more advanced surgical techniques.

Our practice uses modern diagnostic imaging and advanced surgical equipment to assess wisdom teeth accurately and plan treatment carefully. We always aim to ensure treatment is carried out as comfortably and safely as possible.

Local anaesthetic is used to fully numb the area during treatment, and for nervous or anxious patients we also offer conscious sedation to help make the experience more relaxed and comfortable.

Experienced Wisdom Tooth Care in North West London

We are proud to provide comprehensive wisdom tooth assessment and oral surgery care for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London.

Whether you require wisdom tooth assessment, emergency dental care, gum disease treatment, dental implants, Invisalign or cosmetic dentistry, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs in a calm and supportive environment.

Crowns

Crowns

What are Crowns?

A dental crown is often recommended when a tooth has been significantly weakened by decay, large or failing fillings, fractures, or previous dental work. By fully covering the affected tooth, a crown helps restore its strength, function, and natural appearance while protecting it from further damage.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, crowns are used as part of a conservative restorative approach that prioritises preserving natural teeth wherever possible. Each restoration is carefully designed to blend with surrounding teeth, aiming to achieve both durability and a natural-looking aesthetic result.

For over 30 years, we have been providing dental care to patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our long-standing presence in the community reflects a consistent focus on trust, continuity of care, and high-quality clinical dentistry.

Restorative treatments such as dental crowns are planned and delivered under the care of Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both academic dentistry and more than 25 years of clinical practice. In crown and restorative cases, his focus is on precise preparation, long-term tooth preservation, and achieving predictable functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Our practice has also received national recognition at the Dentistry Awards, where it has been awarded for both clinical excellence and team performance, highlighting our ongoing commitment to high standards of care and patient-focused dentistry.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration designed to cover and protect the entire visible surface of a tooth. Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have become structurally compromised while also restoring their appearance and function.

Dental crowns may be recommended in situations where:

A tooth has extensive decay
Existing fillings are large or deteriorating
A tooth has fractured or become weakened
Root canal treatment has reduced tooth strength
Additional protection is needed against biting forces
Front teeth require aesthetic improvement following extensive treatment

By covering and reinforcing the tooth, crowns help distribute biting forces more evenly and can significantly improve the longevity of weakened teeth.

Crowns After Root Canal Treatment

Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can sometimes become more brittle over time because the internal nerve tissue has been removed and the tooth may already have sustained significant structural damage.

In these cases, a crown or onlay may be recommended to strengthen and protect the tooth from fracture during normal chewing function.

Treatment recommendations are always tailored to the individual tooth, considering factors such as remaining tooth structure, bite forces and long-term prognosis.

Aesthetic Porcelain Crowns

Modern dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials. At our North West London dental practice, we predominantly use advanced porcelain and ceramic-based crowns due to their excellent aesthetics, strength and natural appearance.

Porcelain crowns are carefully designed to:

Match the natural colour and shade of surrounding teeth
Restore the shape and symmetry of the smile
Provide durability and strength
Improve both function and appearance

For front teeth in particular, ceramic crowns can offer highly aesthetic results while maintaining a natural-looking smile.

Crowns vs Veneers

Dental crowns and veneers can both improve the appearance of teeth, but they serve different purposes.

Veneers typically cover only the front surface of the tooth and are generally more conservative
Crowns cover the entire tooth and are often recommended when greater structural reinforcement is required

Because crowns involve more extensive tooth preparation, they are generally reserved for teeth requiring significant restoration or protection. However, they can also provide excellent long-term durability and function.

The Dental Crown Process

The dental crown procedure is carefully planned to ensure comfort, precision and a natural-looking result.

Treatment typically involves:

Administration of local anaesthetic to ensure the area is fully numb and comfortable
Preparation of the tooth to create space for the crown
Creation of a temporary crown to protect the tooth between appointments
Taking highly accurate impressions or scans of the prepared tooth
Fabrication of the custom crown by a dental laboratory
Fitting and bonding of the final crown once completed

Throughout the process, careful attention is given to the fit, bite, appearance and comfort of the restoration.

Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges

What are Dental Bridges?

When replacing missing teeth, there are several treatment options available depending on your individual needs, oral health, and long-term goals. These may include dentures, dental implants, or fixed solutions such as dental bridges. The most suitable option is determined after a careful clinical assessment.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This type of treatment helps restore normal chewing function, improve appearance, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position over time.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we take a tailored approach to tooth replacement, focusing on long-term stability, preservation of healthy tooth structure, and natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with the surrounding smile.

For over 30 years, we have provided dental care to patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our practice has built a reputation based on continuity, trust, and a consistent commitment to high standards of clinical care within the local community.

Bridge and restorative treatments are planned under the care of Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both academic dentistry and more than 25 years of clinical practice. In cases involving dental bridges, his focus is on precise treatment planning, maintaining healthy supporting teeth, and ensuring long-term functional and aesthetic success.

Our clinic has also been recognised nationally at the Dentistry Awards, receiving awards for both clinical excellence and team performance, reflecting our ongoing dedication to patient-focused and high-quality dentistry.

Dental Bridges as an Alternative to Implants

Dental implants are often considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they replace the tooth root independently without relying on adjacent teeth. However, implants may not always be suitable for every patient.

Dental bridges can provide an effective alternative where:

There is insufficient bone volume for implant placement
Certain medical conditions make implant treatment unsuitable
A patient prefers a less invasive option
A more cost-effective treatment solution is desired
A temporary replacement is needed before future implant treatment

Each treatment option is carefully assessed and discussed to help patients make informed decisions based on their oral health, goals and long-term prognosis.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are two main categories of dental bridges commonly used in modern dentistry.

Resin-Retained Bridges

Resin-retained bridges, sometimes referred to as adhesive bridges, are often the preferred option where clinically appropriate because they are generally more conservative and require minimal alteration to neighbouring teeth.

These bridges consist of:

A prosthetic replacement tooth
A thin metal or ceramic wing bonded to the adjacent tooth

The supporting wing is specially treated to improve bonding strength and stability while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Resin-retained bridges are commonly used to replace smaller missing teeth, particularly in the front of the mouth, where biting forces may be lower.

Conventional Dental Bridges

Conventional bridges are a more traditional form of bridgework and may still be appropriate in selected situations.

This type of bridge involves preparing the teeth on either side of the missing space so that crowns can be placed over them to support the replacement tooth between.

Although conventional bridges can provide excellent strength and aesthetics, they generally require more significant adjustment of healthy neighbouring teeth compared with resin-retained bridges or dental implants.

With the development of modern implant dentistry, conventional bridges are now often used selectively depending on the patient’s clinical situation and treatment goals.

Restoring Function & Appearance

Dental bridges can help:

Restore chewing and speaking function
Improve smile aesthetics
Prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting
Support facial structure and bite stability
Restore confidence following tooth loss

Modern bridgework is carefully designed to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth using advanced ceramic and aesthetic restorative materials.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays

What are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are precision-made restorative treatments used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, fracture, or general wear. They are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling, but does not yet require a full crown, allowing for a more conservative approach that preserves healthy tooth structure.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we use modern restorative techniques and durable materials to rebuild damaged teeth in a way that restores both strength and natural appearance. Each restoration is carefully designed to fit accurately and function comfortably within your bite.

For over three decades, we have been caring for patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our long-standing presence in the area reflects a consistent focus on trust, continuity of care, and high standards of clinical dentistry.

Restorative treatments such as inlays and onlays are planned and delivered under the care of Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive experience in both academic dentistry and more than 25 years of clinical practice. In these cases, his approach prioritises conservative tooth preservation, precise restoration design, and long-term functional stability.

Our clinic has also been nationally recognised at the Dentistry Awards, receiving awards for both clinical excellence and team performance, highlighting our continued commitment to quality care and modern restorative dentistry.

What Are Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations fabricated outside the mouth by a dental laboratory before being bonded securely to the tooth.

They are commonly made from materials such as:

Porcelain or ceramic
Composite resin
Gold

Unlike traditional direct composite fillings, which are shaped directly within the tooth during a single appointment, inlays and onlays are individually designed based on detailed impressions or scans of your teeth to provide a precise and durable fit.

What Is the Difference Between an Inlay and an Onlay?

Inlays fit within the grooves and inner surfaces of the tooth, effectively restoring the damaged area after decay or old filling material has been removed.
Onlays restore the internal part of the tooth while also covering one or more cusps or biting surfaces, providing additional reinforcement and protection where damage is more extensive.

Onlays are often considered a more conservative alternative to full dental crowns because they preserve more healthy natural tooth structure.

Inlays & Onlays vs Composite Fillings

Both direct composite fillings and laboratory-made inlays/onlays can provide highly successful restorations, and the most appropriate option depends on the extent of tooth damage, bite forces and long-term treatment goals.

Potential advantages of inlays and onlays include:

Greater strength and durability in larger restorations
Highly precise fit and contouring
Reduced risk of material shrinkage during placement
Excellent aesthetics with porcelain and ceramic materials
Conservative preservation of healthy tooth structure compared with crowns

Traditional direct composite fillings are placed directly into the tooth and hardened using a special curing light. During this process, a small amount of shrinkage can occur as the material sets, which may create microscopic gaps over time.

Because inlays and onlays are fabricated outside the mouth before being bonded into place, they are generally less affected by this process and may offer improved structural stability in certain clinical situations.

However, inlays and onlays do require two appointments and laboratory fabrication, making them more time-intensive and typically more costly than direct fillings. Current evidence also suggests that both treatment options can achieve excellent long-term success when appropriately planned and maintained.

The Inlay & Onlay Procedure

Treatment is carefully planned to ensure comfort, precision and long-term function.

The process typically involves:

Administration of local anaesthetic to numb the area comfortably
Removal of decay, damaged tooth structure or old restorations
Careful preparation of the tooth
Taking detailed impressions or digital scans for the dental laboratory
Placement of a temporary restoration to protect the tooth between appointments
Fitting and bonding of the final inlay or onlay using specialised dental adhesive
Final adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance

Mouthguards

Mouthguards

What are Mouthguards?

Everyday chewing places natural pressure on the teeth, but in some individuals this force becomes significantly higher due to habits such as clenching or grinding, known as bruxism. Over time, this excessive pressure can contribute to tooth wear, fractures, increased sensitivity, and discomfort in the jaw muscles or joints.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we provide custom-made mouthguards designed to protect the teeth and support the jaw by reducing the impact of grinding forces. These appliances are also commonly used for patients involved in contact sports, helping to prevent injury and long-term dental damage.

For over 30 years, we have been caring for patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our approach is built on continuity, trust, and a consistent commitment to maintaining long-term oral health for the local community.

Management of grinding-related conditions is overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive academic involvement and more than 25 years of clinical experience. In cases involving bruxism and protective appliances, his focus is on preventing long-term structural damage, reducing functional strain, and delivering individually tailored protective solutions.

Our practice has also been recognised nationally at the Dentistry Awards, receiving awards for both clinical excellence and team performance, reflecting our ongoing dedication to high standards of patient care and preventive dentistry.

Mouthguards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Bruxism is a common condition where patients unconsciously clench or grind their teeth, often during sleep. This can place excessive pressure on the teeth and jaw muscles, leading to a range of symptoms, including:

Tooth wear or flattening of teeth
Increased tooth sensitivity
Jaw pain or stiffness
Headaches, particularly in the morning
Cracked or chipped teeth
Disrupted sleep

A custom-made night guard can help protect the teeth by creating a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing excessive force and helping to relieve strain on the jaw joints.

Custom-Fitted Mouthguards

We provide bespoke mouthguards that are individually designed to fit the exact shape of your teeth and bite.

Unlike over-the-counter alternatives, custom mouthguards:

Offer superior comfort and fit
Provide more effective protection
Are less bulky and easier to wear consistently
Help reduce long-term wear and damage to teeth

Each mouthguard is carefully designed to ensure optimal protection while maintaining comfort during sleep or activity.

Sports Mouthguards

Sports mouthguards are essential for protecting teeth during contact and high-impact sports. Dental injuries are common in sports such as rugby, hockey, boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA), where accidental collisions or impacts can lead to chipped, fractured or knocked-out teeth.

We provide fully customised sports mouthguards tailored to your mouth and sporting requirements. These are designed to:

Absorb and distribute impact forces
Protect teeth from trauma and fractures
Reduce risk of soft tissue injuries
Improve confidence during sport

Custom sports guards offer significantly better protection and comfort compared with generic, boil-and-bite alternatives, making them ideal for regular training and competitive play.

Preventive & Protective Dentistry in North West London

We are proud to provide preventive and protective dental care for patients throughout West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London.

Whether you require a night guard for teeth grinding, a custom sports mouthguard, gum disease treatment, dental implants, Invisalign or cosmetic dentistry, our aim is always to provide ethical, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs in a calm and supportive environment.

Dentures

Dentures

What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable restorations used to replace missing teeth and the surrounding soft tissues. They may be designed to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth, or a full set of teeth, depending on individual clinical needs. When carefully designed, modern dentures can restore chewing function, improve speech, and enhance the overall appearance of the smile.

At our West Hampstead dental practice, we provide customised denture solutions that are individually planned to achieve a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and reliable day-to-day function. Each case is assessed carefully to ensure the most suitable design and materials are used for long-term comfort and stability.

For over three decades, we have been caring for patients across West Hampstead, Hampstead, St John’s Wood and North West London. Our practice is built on continuity of care, patient trust, and a consistent commitment to maintaining high clinical standards within the local community.

Denture treatment and full-mouth restorative planning are overseen by Dr Anoushiravan Ariakish, a London-based clinician with extensive academic involvement and more than 25 years of clinical experience. In prosthetic and restorative cases, his approach focuses on restoring function, improving comfort, and achieving a natural-looking result that supports long-term oral health.

Our clinic has also received national recognition at the Dentistry Awards, where it has been awarded for both clinical excellence and team performance, reflecting our ongoing dedication to high-quality, patient-centred dentistry.

What Are Dentures Made From?

Dentures can be constructed from a range of modern dental materials, depending on the design and clinical requirements. These may include:

High-impact acrylic
Cobalt-chrome metal frameworks
Combination materials for strength and comfort

Each denture is custom-made to ensure an accurate fit, natural appearance and comfortable function.

The Function of Dentures

Dentures are designed to replicate the function of natural teeth, allowing patients to:

Chew and eat a wider variety of foods
Improve speech clarity
Restore bite function and facial support
Maintain oral function after tooth loss

Without teeth, eating certain foods can become difficult or uncomfortable. Well-fitting dentures can significantly improve comfort and dietary choice, supporting better overall quality of life.

Versatility & Adaptability

One of the key advantages of dentures is their versatility. They are:

Removable and non-invasive
Do not require alteration of adjacent teeth
Easily adjustable over time
Repairable if damaged or worn
Suitable as temporary or long-term solutions

Dentures are also commonly used as interim restorations during healing phases, such as after tooth extractions or while preparing for dental implant treatment. They can often be produced relatively quickly and adjusted as needed during the healing process.

Aesthetic Benefits

Modern dentures are carefully designed not only to restore function but also to improve appearance. Replacing missing teeth can:

Restore a natural-looking smile
Support facial muscles and soft tissue structure
Improve lip and cheek support
Create a more youthful facial profile
Enhance confidence and self-esteem

A well-designed denture can have a significant positive impact on both personal and professional confidence.

Dentures Supported by Dental Implants

For patients seeking improved stability, dentures can also be combined with dental implants. This approach is often used when conventional dentures lack sufficient retention or movement becomes an issue.

Implant-retained dentures use small connectors attached to dental implants placed in the jawbone. The denture can then securely “clip” into place, providing:

Improved stability and comfort
Reduced movement while speaking or eating
Better chewing efficiency
Easy removal for cleaning and maintenance

This hybrid approach combines the affordability and simplicity of dentures with the enhanced stability provided by implants.
