We are proud to announce the opening of our second dental office in Playa Del Carmen.
The first people to use a toothbrush were the Hindus of India in 4000 B.C. The end of a fresh twig was frayed into fibers. It wasn't until 1938 that nylon brushes with plastic handles were invented. The nylon bristles were less abrasive to the teeth and gums than the hog bristles used in ancient China.
What's the hardest substance in the human body?
Answer: Tooth enamel (the outside covering of a tooth)
Great dentistry, I was very happy with my crowns, and the price savings more than paid for my vacation in Cancun. A nice way to relax and recover after all my dental procedures.

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.
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.
