I recently had composite bonding, whitening and a scale and polish at Re-Ignite. I couldn’t speak more highly of my experience, my teeth look extremely natural yet perfect. Between Imran, Mia, Leah and Freya, my experience was 10/10 and I’d highly recommend.
Went to see Dr Imran for a re root canal . He was very professional and made me feel at ease. He managed to clear the infection and save my tooth. Very happy patient. Thank you would highly recommend !
Great service, super friendly and would come back again. The team managed to a schedule me in for a same day appointment as an emergency! Thanks so much would highly recommend!
Absolutely 100% recommend this dental practice, the whole team are lovely. I had root canal treatment at a reasonable cost. Dr Imran is very impressive as I felt no pain and was made to feel comfortable throughout the whole procedure. The before, during and after care from the friendly dental nurses and reception team is brilliant and authentic, they really do care about your experience as a patient. Thank you so much.
I’ve had such a great experience with all of the team from initially contacting the team to completing my treatment plan. Dr Imran is amazing at his job and I felt I was in safe hands throughout. Thank you so much! I’ll be telling all of my friends and family about this practice 🙂
Really good dentist! Whether you need general dentistry or a cosmetic procedure, you will be well looked after. The team is very friendly and make you feel comfortable. They genuinely care, and it was a great experience overall.
I recently had composite bonding done and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, I was so nervous at first but the place and atmosphere was so calming and the whole experience was professional, comfortable, and completely stress-free. The attention to detail was amazing and everything was explained clearly before starting.
I’ve had a gum graft procedure done today, and honestly, Imran has been amazing. He was very reassuring throughout all my appointments leading up to the surgery. Imran and his team have been fantastic every step of the way—whenever I felt worried during phone calls, they reassured me and gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure. I didn’t feel any pain at all, and everything was done quickly and professionally. Thank you, Imran and your team.
Your bruxism questions answered simply.
We keep everything straightforward so you always know what to expect. Here are some of the most common questions new patients ask.
What causes teeth grinding (bruxism)?
Bruxism is often linked to stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, or bite issues. Some cases happen during sleep without you realising.
How do I know if I grind my teeth at night?
Common signs include worn teeth, jaw pain, headaches, or being told by a partner that you grind your teeth while sleeping.
Can teeth grinding damage my teeth permanently?
Yes. Over time, grinding can wear down enamel, cause cracks, and lead to sensitivity or broken teeth if left untreated.
What is a night guard and how does it help?
A custom-made night guard protects your teeth by acting as a barrier while you sleep, reducing pressure and preventing damage.
Can bruxism be treated permanently?
Treatment focuses on managing the cause and protecting your teeth. In some cases, addressing stress or bite issues can significantly reduce or stop grinding.
