Why I like white fillings.....
..actually they are not white. They are tooth coloured fillings because teeth are not white - anything but white. A pure white filling would stand out like a sore thumb if the tooth itself is not pure white, and so for this reason a properly placed filling should be invisible and not draw attention to itself. The correct name for them is 'composite restorations' and 'glass ionomer restorations'. At Haynesdental we only place white fillings.

Dental Implants
Do you have missing teeth?
Do you have difficulty eating your favourite foods?
Would you like to regain that confident smile?
...then dental implants could help you.
Dental implants can increase your chewing ability and they can improve your appearance and speech.
Implants are not new; in fact they have been around for decades. They are popular with patients and dentists because they look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Unlike traditional treatments of crowns, bridges, root canals and dentures; implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth.
A dental implant replaces the root of the missing tooth. Initially, the dentist places the implant into the jawbone leaving a post projecting through the gum. After a period of 3-6 months, depending upon certain factors, the dentist then places a permanent porcelain crown, removable denture, or bridge. And don't worry - in those 3-6 months we won't leave you with just a post sticking out - we will fit a temporary crown so that your smile will be restored!
The two implant systems favoured at Haynesdental are Bicon and Ankylos, this provides us with the versatility to treat all clinical situations predictably.
If you are considering having implants, please come and see us for a consulation. Luke and Peter are highly qualified and have placed over 700 implants between them!
'I have had the pleasure of Dr Luke Lucas and Dr Peter Haynes working in my practice as our dedicated implant team for the last two and a half years. They are professional, experienced and well appreciated by me and all my patients.'

'Hi Peter, As per my story today - the implant was strong enough to take the full force of a head butt that a rather unpleasant chap gave me in the street in Brixton (after pushing me off my bike on a cycle path!). The force of the butt was enough to cut my lip as my teeth went through it but the implant was immovable. I also would like to think that it hurt my aggressor more than a normal tooth would have! Use this story as you wish but make sure it's clear I was the innocent victim of an unprovoked attack!
