General Dentistry in London

General dentistry is the routine care that keeps teeth and gums healthy and repairs them when they are damaged: examinations, cleaning, x-rays, fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures. Our practice in Primrose Hill is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, a GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), and every treatment plan starts with a clinical examination rather than a standard package.

Why choose our Primrose Hill practice

Every plan is built from your own examination findings, so you are only offered treatment there is a clinical reason for. You can see what happens at your new patient consultation and how to book.

We are a CQC-registered dental practice, which means we are inspected against the national standards for safety and quality in England.

If you are anxious about treatment, sedation options are available. We also work at an unhurried pace and explain each step before we do it.

Fees and payment options

A dental consultation is £195 and the fee goes towards your treatment. It includes a clinical examination and in-mouth x-rays; CT scans and OPGs are charged separately. You leave with a written plan and an itemised quote, so you know the full cost before committing to anything.

We offer payment options to spread the cost of treatment. Our staff can go through the particulars with you.

Who looks after you

Our clinical lead is Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071). He is supported by Dr Neha Patel, specialist in endodontics (GDC No. 150517), Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487), and Dr Nicky Dehbonei and Dr Lydia Dzhukha, dentists with special interests. Routine care is delivered by the general dentists; where a case needs a specialist, the referral happens within the same practice.

Common questions about general dentistry

What does general dentistry involve?

Routine check-ups, professional cleaning, x-rays and the treatment of decay and damage with fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures. We also treat dental abscesses and jaw joint pain and provide sleep apnoea devices.

How much does general dentistry cost in London?

It depends on what the examination finds. The consultation is £195 and goes towards treatment, and you receive an itemised quote for anything further before it begins.

Am I suitable for treatment?

Almost everyone is. It does not matter how long it has been since your last visit; we assess your mouth as it is now and plan from there.

How long does treatment take?

A routine check-up takes one short visit. Restorative work such as a crown or a denture may need several appointments, and we tell you the likely number at the assessment.

Patient evidence

Patient experiences in Primrose Hill

Many of our patients arrive nervous, some after years away from the dentist. We take our time, explain the options honestly and do not press you into a decision on the day.

Ope was incredibly skilled and made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived.

Arrange your clinical review

The examination tells us which treatment is appropriate for you and how many visits it will take. You can arrange your assessment with Dr Sodeinde or call us on 020 7589 7792.

Preventive and restorative dental care

Preventive care means examinations, professional teeth cleaning, dental x-rays, fluoride treatments and sealants: the routine work that catches decay and gum disease early, when it is simplest to treat. Restorative care repairs teeth that are already damaged. We fill cavities, repair chipped teeth, and fit crowns, bridges and dentures where a tooth has lost too much structure or is missing altogether.

For patients who need a crown, we use CEREC technology: the tooth is scanned digitally, the crown is designed on screen and milled in the practice, and it can be fitted in a single visit for suitable cases.

We chart your teeth and gums carefully at each examination and keep a record of your medical history, so each plan is based on your own mouth. Infection control follows the standards set for CQC-registered practices.

Whether these treatments suit you, and how long they take, is decided at the consultation. Request your assessment.

Our general dentistry treatments

Not sure which treatment you need? Read our guide to general dental treatments and which option fits your situation.

Oral health starts with dental examinations and professional teeth cleaning. Together they let us spot problems early and keep gums healthy between visits.

When a tooth is decayed or chipped, we restore it with dental fillings in a tooth-coloured composite resin.

For more extensive damage, we fit ceramic dental crowns, including same-day CEREC crowns where appropriate, and custom-made dentures.

How treatment works

Clinical examination

We examine your teeth, gums and jaw, take any x-rays we need and agree a plan with you, including the number of visits.

Treatment delivery

We carry out the agreed work, from a single filling to fitting dentures. If anything changes during treatment, we tell you before continuing.

Complex care coordination

Some problems need more than general care. We refer within the practice for specialist gum disease treatment or specialist dental implant care when needed.

Ongoing health reviews

Regular check-ups let us monitor your restorations and catch new problems early.

Choosing between restorations

A filling repairs a small area of decay. A crown covers a tooth that is cracked or too weak for a filling. A bridge or a denture replaces a tooth that is missing. Which is right for you depends on how much healthy tooth remains and on the condition of your gums and bone, and we decide that at the examination. Where the answer lies outside general dentistry, we refer you to orthodontics or prosthodontics. Book an assessment.

Looking after your teeth afterwards

Good home care and regular cleaning visits are what make fillings, crowns and dentures last. Our general dentistry aftercare guide sets out what to do after each type of treatment.

Diagnosis first

We use dental x-rays to see decay, bone loss and infection that are not visible in the mouth. From there we explain your options and let you decide.
