Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium screws surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They fuse with the bone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This solution preserves bone structure and facial contours while offering natural functionality and aesthetics. At Wigan Dental Centre, we ensure long-term success through meticulous planning and follow-up care.
Teeth Whitening
Our teeth whitening options include home kits with custom trays, in-clinic light-activated treatments, and combined approaches. These methods safely lighten stained or discoloured teeth without altering enamel. Results last 1-3 years depending on lifestyle factors. We prioritise patient education to manage sensitivity and maintain outcomes, ensuring a confident, radiant smile.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer intravenous sedation for nervous patients, inducing relaxation while remaining conscious. This technique benefits those with dental phobia or undergoing complex procedures. Pre-treatment health assessments and continuous monitoring ensure safety. Post-operative instructions include arranging transport, as effects may linger after appointments.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Patients enjoy unrestricted eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment duration varies based on complexity, with shorter appointments compared to traditional braces. We provide custom plans for crowding, spacing, and bite issues, enhancing both aesthetics and function.
Gum Disease Treatment
Our hygienists address gum disease through plaque removal, patient education, and tailored hygiene plans. Advanced cases receive deep cleaning and monitoring to prevent bone loss. We highlight systemic links between oral health and conditions like heart disease, reinforcing preventive care to protect overall well-being.

Report
I was a dental phobic person,who had let his teeth decay over the years.I recently got in touch with Waris as one of my front teeth snapped and looked terrible.He gave me a full dental examination along with multiple x rays.At this appointment it was discovered that i had many issues which needed sorting,so we discussed and decided a plan of action.To cut a long story short i had 4 roots removed and numerous fillings.He did a brilliant job of building the front tooth and also started the process of fitting me with a chrome denture,which now fits beautifully.The reason i am telling all this is because of my fear of dentists.He put me at ease from the word go,and has built my confidence immensely.I am over the moon with care i received from Waris and his team and would not hesitate in recommending him.Many thanks Waris.

Wouldn't dream of going to another dentist now. Thankyou Waris

Great experience as I have always been scared of going to the dentist - I felt relaxed and my teeth have improved and look much better. Dr Patel works with great integrity and transparency by explaining the procedure which is an excellent quality. I have been treated by dentists all over the world and Dr Patel is one of the Best!
