Two missing front teeth beautifully restored
After smashing my two front teeth out when i was seven i had experienced nothing but pain and embarrassment. I had very dodgy crowns during my teenage years and 2 surgical operations to remove infection that was now in the upper palette of my mouth. I visited many dentists all of which found my case out of their depth. When one of my crowns began to fail my current local dentist who was an oral surgeon suggested an implant. I obviously had to agree but here is where I should have got a second opinion. I trusted in somebody I shouldn’t have. After very inadequate, incompetent and outrageously expensive treatment both my front teeth were missing. I had now totally lost all confidence in myself and dentists.
However my luck began to change after a search engine lead me to White. Here was a website with Testimonials’ and a free initial consultation! I was very apprehensive but had watched 10 years younger before so was aware that there were very talented and capable dentists out there! My experience from then on has been life changing and reinstalled my faith in professionalism. The whole team is consistent, approachable and incredibly friendly. I had a treatment plan (which didn’t change) and opted for the interest free finance. My dental work has been very extensive including a bone graft but it’s been worth it!
Dr Ben White is a true Genius!
Look at my smile,

What is a Dental Implant?
What is a dental implant?
Dental Implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They look and feel just like the originals. Not only are they used to help people who wish to improve the appearance of their teeth they also help people who have problems with tooth functionality. Recently a man came to White for a free consultation. He had lost the majority of his teeth through gum disease. He rarely smiled but more importantly he could not eat every day foods without pain and some foods he could not eat at all. After having implants placed he is a changed man. He smiles with confidence and is now able to eat any food he chooses, even an apple.
So what are dental implants? An implant is a small titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of missing tooth or teeth. A crown is put onto the implant. There are many advantages to having implants. Unlike dentures there is no slippage or movement plus there is no need to touch any of the surrounding teeth to secure the implant into the mouth unlike bridgework or partial dentures. Also dental implants will help to maintain the shape and structure of the jawbone because when teeth are missing the bone begins to shrink. They are durable, strong and look great.

Groom to be needs a new tooth.
Congratulations to my lovely sister in law (named “Auntie Ju Ju” by our gorgeous children) who has recently been proposed to by her equally lovely boyfriend, Craig (”Caig”). We have been waiting such a long time for these two to get engaged and now they are set to marry in April. Yippee! A fabulous spring wedding, except there is one slight problem (most of the concern coming from the bride!). Her dashing fiance is missing a front tooth. Ahhhhhh…….. Luckily, for both the bride and groom they are surrounded by DENTISTS, one of which specialises cosmetic dentistry and dental implants. Before they can say “i do” Craig will have a dental implant fitted which looks and feels just like the tooth that he lost and all will be well in the Parsons/White household.
At White we have lots of people who make cosmetic enquiries (Invisalign, tooth whitening, veneers, implants) just before a special occasion, such as getting married. If you are getting married, or simply would like to change your smile, my advice to you is don’t leave it too late. There are lots of things that we can do to help you but there are many more treatments available if we have more time in which to transform a smile.
I will keep you posted on Craig’s treatment as the wedding comes nearer. For now, we need to put a temporary tooth in place for all those engagement photos.

Something to smile about……..
I went into the practice today and was told that a lady had come in for a free consultation. She wanted some cosmetic dentistry as she really did not like the appearance of her teeth. After a long chat, over a cup of tea, in the consultation room she was given a treatment plan which comprised of a number of options, Invisalign, implants, veneers, crowns and tooth whitening. She recognised that this was what she needs to have to achieve the look that she is after but other obstacles were preventing this from happening. So she decided to think about the treatment plan given to her as she needed to mull over the options.
The interesting thing is that she decided to have treatment elsewhere even though she said that “she will have to compromise on the treatment” and go to a practice within her budget and closer proximity to home. Obviously, we felt disappointed as we really wanted to give her a smile that she was proud of but we could not compromise on her treatment. It would have been great to say “don’t worry, we can forget about this, and use a cheaper lab and cheaper materials” to make it within her budget, but sadly we cannot. The reason being is that we are extremely proud of the high level of dental work that we do. Invariably, if you cut corners, use cheaper laboratories and materials…… then the end result will not be the same. We use an excellent laboratory that hand-crafts porcelain crowns, we use the best materials, plus we have a highly skilled dentist who has vast experience in placing implants and performs complex procedures such a sinus and bone grafts. After three years of additional training, on top of two previous intensive implant courses, he has almost completed an MSC in implantology. We could not compromise on our integrity.
Although, we did not get to see this lady smile with confidence she gave us something to smile about and we are very grateful to her. The thing that touched us was that she said that having been in our practice she had “seen the best” and knows what it looks like. After worrying that we had done wrong in some way just a few kind words from this lady reassured us that she could not find fault with the service and treatment that we offer to potential patients. That we are providing a service to be proud of, it just was not right for her at this moment in her life.
So, if our kind of dentistry is the kind that you are interested in, feel free to come and meet us. Come and have a cup of tea and a chat to see if White is right for you as we would like to give you something to smile about.

A white smile for Emsworth lady after having Zoom tooth whitening and new crowns
A lady from Emsworth needed crowns replacing on her front teeth and has always wanted a whiter smile. We suggested having Zoom tooth whitening treatment first so that we could match her new crowns to her new white smile. After showing her some pictures of other patients who have had similar treatment she agreed this would be an ideal treatment option for her. She now has a whiter smile and new crowns.

Lady from Bassett smiles confidently after having dental implants
A lady from Bassett came to White 2 years ago for a Free Consultation to discuss replacing her dentures and a couple of bridges. She was very self conscious about her smile and was very keen to focus on sorting her top teeth first. As she was very nervous we carried out her treatment under sedation, Dr White placed several implants on the upper and then fitted a bridge, she could finally lose her denture. She was so pleased with the results she very quickly wanted to start similar treatment on the lower to complete her new smile.

A new smile for a Bishop’s Waltham lady after having braces, dental implants, tooth whitening and new crowns.
A lady from Bishop’s Waltham came to White as she was tired of getting problems from her old fillings and also wanted to discuss the option of replacing her missing teeth. We made a suggestion of having orthodontic treatment first to correct her bite, followed by tooth whitening, crowns and implants. Initially she was concerned that 57 was too old to have braces, however once we started treatment her toothache resolved, which she had suffered with for sometime. Feeling completely confident with Dr White she allowed him to fit her braces. After 2 years she now has natural looking teeth and is able to bite, chew and smile with confidence, which she has said “is worth every penny!”

Lady from West End smiles with confidence after having dental implants
A lady from West End contacted White as she was unhappy with two missing teeth on the lower left. Cosmetically it had bothered her for some time but her main concern was that if she lost more teeth eating may become difficult. She didn’t want a denture and was unable to have a bridge. After having a Free Consultation with Dr White she decided to have two implants placed, as this is the most natural way to replace missing teeth. She attended recently for her final appointment and was absolutely ecstatic with the end result. She is able to eat what she likes and smile with confidence, safe in the knowledge that nobody will ever know there was once a gap.

White helps Locksheath local with sedation dentistry for dental implants and crowns.
At White we have recently seen a patient from Locksheath who has lost her self confidence due to her smile. She only has 6 top front teeth which have had crowns on for several years. When we saw her for a Free Consultation she began to tell us how she avoids going places as she cannot smile. Dr White spent time dicussing the option of placing implants and replacing her front crowns to improve her smile and also discussed the optionof having sedation as she is a very nervous patient. This lady has seen another dentist prior to visiting White but felt that she wasn’t getting the dentists full attention or time to explain her concerns and how it affects her day to day life. We discussed budgets with her and have written a comprehensive treatment plan to suit her needs and met her budget. We look forward to helping this lady smile again and have the confidence to go out in public.
