Being the first uk dentists to offer the six month smiles treatment, we have great experience in this field. We have many patients coming in every day wanting a beautiful straight smile in just a few months.
I have achieved great results with six month smiles and am glad that having braces has become so acceptable amongst adults. Is a great way to improve a smile and is also very conservative approach.
Come and see us if you want to find out whether 6 month smiles can work for you too!

I really enjoy reading fashion magazines and gossip magazines when am having a break and am relaxing at weekends. They are also a great way of learning about celebrity smile makeovers.
This week I saw before and after pictures of Cheryl Cole, Kate Beckinsale and Celine Dion.
Cheryl Cole used to have prominent canines and small lateral incisors, which are now more symmetrical and proportional to each other. From the photos, it looks like she may have had veneers.
Kate Beckinsale had very yellow teeth prior to becoming a Hollywood star, and know she has a beautiful pearly white smile
Celine Dion used to have very crowded and yellow teeth, indicating she may have had braces and veneers to improve her smiles.
Getting a beautiful smile improves one’s confidence and can be lifechanging. I used to have crooked teeth and after having six month braces treatment I have now straight teeth and am proud of them and am more confident when smiling and speaking.

BBC radio Leicester asked Kal to come in for an interview on Wednesday 5th November to talk about cosmetic dentistry.
The radio presenter Rupal asked Kal questions on different types of cosmetic dentistry such as:
- what happens during a cosmetic consultation?
- what are veneers etc
Kal highlighted the importance of having a healthy mouth prior to undergoing any form of cosmetic dentistry. Once the mouth is healthy, then cosmetic work can be started. He stressed that a good cosmetic dentist not only will have great skills himself but will be using an excellent dental lab and the best dental materials on the market.
Kal also highlighted that we treat a lot of very nervous patients and that they do have neglected mouths due to their fear of dentists. He explained how we have been able to treat successfully all the anxious patients we see and we have given them great smiles to be proud of and show off.

We get lot of emails from people asking us what is the best treatment for chipped teeth following trauma. We just recently had a patient who had chipped two of her front teeth after falling over whilst shopping in Leicester city centre.
First of all, the most important thing is to inform your dentist of the exact circumstances of the trauma received. If the broken tooth was caused by being hit or by falling over, it is very important that the dentist assesses the tooth and takes an xray if necessary to exclude root fracture and that there is no infection in the root.
once the health of the tooth has been ascertained, we can start thinking about how to restore it.
The options are:
- composite white fillings
- porcelain veneers
-porcelain crowns
We can tell our patients what the most suitable form of treatment is after carrying out the above assessments and the choice of restoration also depends on the extent of the tooth fracture.

Dental Implants are a fantastic way of replacing missing teeth. Success rates are high when carried out by an experienced surgeon, but to ensure that the long term success of dental implants stays high, it is imperative to maintain a high standard of oral hygiene.
We advise all our patients to regularly see the hygienist and to brush, floss their teeth and use moutwash. This same advice is given to our implant patients as well.
Once implant treatment has been completed, Kal and Rebecca will show our patients how to maintain their oral health and how to look after their implants. Implants need looking after just as much as natural teeth. We also advice patients to use Waterpik, a fantastic tool to clean under the implant crowns and bridges.

Here at the Dental Suite we have been offering our patients acrylic mouthguards (Occlusal Splins) for many years. Kal has trained extensively worldwide in this subject under the supervision of the top dentists in the field .
When are mouthguards necessary?
- if you have a habit of grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw muscles
- if you are having extensive restorative dentistry, to protect crowns and veneers
- if you have jaw joint problems
- if you suffer from headaches
- in some cases, after orthodontic treatment
Mouthguards (known as Occlusal Splints) have been proved to be very effective in treating all of the above
What does treatment involve. At the first appointment, we will be studying your bite very carefully and will take accurate moulds of your top and bottom teeth and record the way you bite together. The lab will then construct a hard mouthguard (splint) which will be adjusted at the second appointment when the splint is fitted. Further review appointments will be required to monitor progress and to carry out any necessary adjustments.

I have just got back from the Six Month Smiles/ 6 Month Smiles Course I have organised for UK dentists.
I had a great time and it was great to meet a nice bunch of dentist.

At our practice, we focus a lot on gum health. This is because gums are the foundation of our teeth and therefore. Without healthy gums, there would be no beautiful straight teeth!
We therefore advise all our patients to see our fantastic Hygienist Rebecca Muir. She is gentle but yet very thorough. She is also great at educating our patients and teaching them how to maintain their gum health when at home and between hygienist visit.
At the Dental Suite in Loughborrough, we know that professional cleans are very important, but this would not be as effective without meticulous home maintenance.
Come and see our excellent hygienist for your gum treatment!
