Opening hours
You'll be smiling with preventive dental care from BUPA Wellness.
You may be surprised that, according to the Adult Dental Health Survey (UK) of 1998, about three-quarters of the population has
some form of gum disease and more teeth are lost through gum disease than decay. Hence the BUPA Wellness approach to dental
health - prevention is better than cure.
At our BUPA Dental Centres in London, we provide specialists to help you get the preventive dental care and treatment you need,
when you need it.
What's more, you don't have to be a BUPA member to benefit from our dental service - it's open to everyone.
Working closely with you
We realise that some people are anxious about a visit to the dentist, so we do our best to make you feel comfortable, in a relaxed informal atmosphere.
From the smallest filling to solving complex dental problems, you'll always find a sympathetic ear. We start by getting to know you and helping you overcome any worries you may have about dental care. Our aim is to discover your own particular dental needs and to help you keep all your teeth, all your life.

BUPA Oral Health Assessment
The Oral Heath Assessment lasts for up to one hour and involves a thorough evaluation of your gums, teeth and all visible
oral tissues and structures. The purpose is to identify existing and potential problems, develop a treatment plan (if needed),
and show you how to maintain excellent oral health.
Extra-oral examination
This external examination can help detect conditions of the face and neck, sometimes before the occurrence of any visible
symptoms.
Intra-oral examination
This examination of the inside of your mouth not only helps detect problems with your teeth, but also your gums, the lining
of your mouth and other oral soft tissues such as the tongue. It also examines relevant facial and oral glands, including the
salivary glands.
Both the extra-and intra-oral examinations also help detect condition of the jaw and neck, soft tissues of the mouth and the
bone supporting the teeth.
Gum assessment
This periodontal assessment is used to help prevent, detect and control gum disease. Combined with dental health education, oral
hygiene and dietary advice, it encourages continuing care for teeth and gums.
Examination of teeth
This examination can help detect early signs of tooth decay and other dental conditions, such as wear which can reduce the need
for more extensive treatment.
If your teeth require further work, your dentist will be able to provide you with options on all the most up-to-date restorative
and cosmetic techniques available, including crowns, bridges, veneers and implants.
X-ray examination
In order to complete the comprehensive clinical examination, you may require X-rays. The X-rays enable your dentist to see areas
of the teeth and jawbone which are not visible - for instance, below the gum line where decay can start.
Traditional care
All of our dentists are able to provide comprehensive care. However, if a specific problem requires specialist treatment, the
services are available within our practice to ensure you receive seamless treatment.
Great care is taken in selecting our dentists and specialists to ensure that as well as having the clinical expertise and the
empathetic qualities you'd expect, they are committed to providing you with the highest standards of treatment and care.
All our practitioners work within industry recognised protocols, including clinical governance and undergo regular internal
clinical audits and assessments. They also participate in ongoing dental and hygienist clinical education and professional
development courses, all of which meet the mandatory requirements of the General Dental Council.
Cosmetic dentistry
We offer the latest types of cosmetic dentistry treatments and care, including teeth whitening and tooth-coloured restorations.
To book please call 020 7200 5800.
Hygiene
Hygienist visits are an important part of the ongoing and routine care of all patients. We recommend that you visit your hygienist
at least every six months.
It is essential that your gums are maintained in good condition, so part of your preventive dental care is time spent with one of
our dental hygienists. As well as scaling and cleaning your teeth and giving dietary advice, your hygienist will encourage you to
look after your teeth and gums in the correct manner at home.
Specialist treatment
One of the advantages of our service at our Centre of Excellence at Bank in the City of London is that both the specialists and
dentists are available on the same site and can provide comprehensive patient care.
Endodontists (for root treatment), oral surgeons, periodontists (for gum treatment) and implant specialists are in-house resources that our dentists can refer to when certain treatments require specialist care.
On-site dental laboratory
Having our own advanced laboratory at our Bank Dental Centre allows us to perform certain lab procedures - making crowns, bridges
and dentures, for example - on the premises. So you can benefit from significantly reduced waiting times for this type of work.
It also means that laboratory technicians are available to work directly with you to make sure your tooth has the colour match or
shade you want.
Opening hours
Appointments are generally available on weekdays from 8am to 5.30pm except for Thursdays when the last appointment is at 6.30pm.
Please check specific opening hours with your centre.
