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,

It was a glorious summer’s day in Hamble, near Southampton when we went down to the water’s edge, to the yachts and the infamous Hamble Pink Ferry, and had our photos taken to celebrate our lovely White Smiles.

We have all had an variety of dental treatments: implants,”train tracks” (fixed orthodontics) invisalign,crowns, veneers, tooth whitening……. but have one thing in common. We have all received dental treatment, at White, from Dr Ben White and we are delighted with our great teeth and smiles.

Beautiful White Smiles

Two Minutes, Twice a day

Not only does 

brushing your teeth correctly keep smiles looking great, it can also help in the fight against serious conditions like heart disease, strokes and diabetes. 

A good brushing routine will not only help fight problems like tooth decay, bad breath and stained teeth it will also reduce the chances of developing gum disease – which has been linked to heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and low birth weight babies.

Clinical research shows that, on average, people only brush for about  forty five seconds which is simply not enough to combat gum disease and tooth decay.

So go on, please brush for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. floss daily, cut down on sugary foods and drinks and visit your dentist on a regular basis.

I had orthodontics when I was in my twenties, which could be seen as unusual as surely it is children and teenagers who have their teeth straightened?  However, this lady had chosen improve her smile later in life. We are seeing more patients who are in their forties, fifties and sixties who are choosing to have their teeth straightened for many reasons.

Find out what White can do to to help if you are unhappy with your smile. It is never too late to make changes in your life.

Simply, book a free cosmetic consultation with us (we are based not far from Southampton) and we can “envision” your perfect smile to help you to decide if cosmetic dentistry is for you.

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.

This procedure has been carried out many times before. The founders of this technique have performed it over 900 times, with a success rate of 98%. Which are really positive statistics.

I you would like to find out more information about this technique then please arrange to have a free consultation with Dr Ben White and hopefully we will be able to answer your questions http://www.white.co.uk/implants.html.

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.

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.

I had orthodontics when I was younger. The dentist removed two of my healthy adult teeth and put “train tracks” on. It was terrible. I had so many problems. Not only did my teeth look horrible, they sloped backwards and I was left with pounding headaches. Today, I have people telling me that I have lovely teeth, they have been straightened, my occlusion sorted out (this means that my bite has improved), no more headaches and two dental implants to replace my missing teeth. To finish I was treated to an hour’s worth of Zoom tooth whitening. I am very lucky to be married to a dental surgeon who has restored my faith in dentistry and given me a fabulous smile. I have changed from a person who never showed my teeth when having a photo taken to someone who smiles with complete confidence. Lucky me. I am extremely grateful.  Ben may not know how many teeth a snail has but he certainly knows how to help people to look after their teeth and gums and if you wanted to change your smile then perhaps he could help you too.
