Our new Smile Gallery is up and running on the website. It shows patients’ remarkable transformations before and then after receiving dental treatment from Dr. Sanjay Narda in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire.
Sanjay says “It’s extremely satisfying to be able to transform patients’ smiles and most of the time we can do it without any drilling of their teeth. Patients can now see what expert dental treatment at the Bank House Dental Centre can do for their smiles by viewing the new gallery on our website.”

Carrying out life-changing dental treatments, such as replacing dentures with implants so a patient is not restricted in what they can eat or straightening very crooked teeth that have stopped someone from smiling properly for years, is hugely satisifying. We pride ourselves in being one of Buckinghamshire’s leading dental practices for such treatments but that does not mean we are not interested in doing the routine things like fillings and cleaning.The care we take in treating our patient’s shows in the generations of the same families that have been coming here for many years. Parents, that in some cases came here themselves as children are happy in the knowledge that their children are going to be well cared for.
Making sure we look after the little things helps ensure our patients can keep their teeth for as long as possible and avoid the dreaded D-word – dentures!
We are Buckinghamshire’s leading provider of the Inman Aligner, a removable orthodontic appliance that can quickly and easily straighten teeth. The cost of Inman Aligner treatment varies on complexity and starts from £1000, a small price to pay for straight teeth for the rest of your life. Don’t just take our word for it, here is a patient who has just finished straightening both his upper and lower teeth with Inman Aligners.
This patient wanted to say thank you to us for restoring her smile.
She had a loose front tooth, unsightly gaps between her teeth and suffering from gum disease but she was nervous of dental treatment. We reassured her and were able to treat her gum disease, place an implant to replace her loose tooth and carry out some cosmetic dentistry over a six month period. She can now smile with confidence!
With the economy and finances at the forefront of everyone’s mind, unexpected dental bills are the last thing that people want to face. At our dental centre in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, we are able to offer low-cost monthly dental plans from as little as £8.99 per month. Our comprehensive dental plans that cover ALL routine dental treatment including visits to the hygienist, white fillings and root canal treatment, starts at less than £20 per month. Unlike regular dental insurances that only pay a percentage and have limits, our plans cover the entire cost and have no limits, thereby allowing you to receive high quality dentistry at an affordable price.
Many people thank that having dental implants is going to be too expensive as they are so high tech. This, however, is not the case at our dental centre. We have been placing implants for over a decade and as we buy our implants in bulk, we are able to pass on significant savings to our patients. In fact, the cost of dental implant treatment at our practice is not that different to what you would pay for a conventional bridge elsewhere. When you then consider that bridges usually last for between 7-15 years and involve the drilling down of teeth whereas implants usually last for a lifetime and do not require drilling of teeth, implants are far more cost-effective and less destructive than bridges.
Implant treament is available at Bank House Dental Centre from £750.

Taking good care of your children’s teeth from an early age is vital if you want to make sure they don’t end up with toothache. Just because they will lose their milk teeth and grow adult ones, doesn’t mean they don’t need to be taught oral care.
From the moment they start to appear, your children’s teeth are just as susceptible to decay and other problems as your own teeth are.
For babies the key steps to avoiding problems in the future are to offer only milk and water when using a bottle, never juice or squash, and to start cleaning your child’s teeth twice a day as soon as they start to come through.
Initially, you should use a child’s toothbrush with a small amount of children’s toothpaste. It is easier to stand or sit behind your child so that you can clean their teeth more effectively. Brush gently in small circular movements and remember to brush along the gumline as well as the teeth. Even when your child can clean their own teeth, you should continue to supervise them.
Seeing a dentist regularly is important for your child. You should start to bring your child with you to appointments even before their own teeth appear, so they can get used to the sights, smells and sounds of the practice. These will be fairly informal, but enable us to keep a close eye on how your child’s teeth are developing. We offer free examinations on all children under 5 years if a parent is registered with us.
Last but certainly not least, discouraging your child from eating sugary snacks and drinking sweet and/or fizzy drinks in between meals will help keep the teeth healthier. Frequent consumption of these is the main cause of tooth decay and acid erosion.
We have our first video testimonial from one of our patients. Written testimonials from other dental implant, cosmetic and orthodontic treatments is visible on our Patient Testimonial page.
After your dentist has extracted a tooth, you have three options to replace the missing tooth:
- A denture
- A dental bridge
- A dental implant
Nobody would like to wear a denture, especially for just a single missing tooth. That leaves either a bridge or a dental implant. The treatment time needed for a bridge is much shorter than that for a dental implant and as it doesn’t involve surgery, you may feel more confident with this option. It is important to realise that a bridge has a major disadvantage. It uses your adjacent natural teeth for support and this exerts extra pressure on these teeth which eventually can cause major problems. This short animation shows what happens to the teeth supporting the bridge over time.
When people think about cosmetic dentistry, they think it will cost thousands of pounds to improve their smile. The constant barrage of make-over programmes on T.V. where people are given new smiles with the use of veneers doesn’t help. Veneers are a great way to improve your smile but a simpler and cheaper option is also available that can give your smile a boost – tooth whitening.
Tooth whitening is one of the easiest dental treatments as it requires no drilling or injections. It can improve your smile quickly and can make you look younger. As we age the enamel covering our teeth starts to discolour, looking more yellow than pearly white. Several studies have been carried out showing that there is a difference in perceived age when before and after teeth whitening pictures of the same person are shown to an unbiased panel.
There are two types of whitening:
- Home whitening – impressions are taken and special whitening trays are made. Whitening gel is placed inside these trays and they are worn for several hours, usually while you sleep.
- Power whitening – also known as laser whitening, the teeth are whitened while sitting in the dental chair, usually in less than one hour.
The home whitening system is the cheaper one of the two but both will result in giving your smile a whiter and more youthful appearance.
