Dr. Cavan HoDulwich Dental Office

My aim is to provide a holistic approach to healthcare, ensuring a judgement-free and personalised experience for every patient. I believe in clear communication, often thinking out loud to keep you informed and involved in your own care. This not only helps you understand the process but also to get some laughs on the way. To enhance your understanding, I use a camera to show you what's happening inside your mouth. This way, we can work together to identify and explain problem areas as we go along. I have a particular interest in TMJD/TMD, jaw pain, headaches, and bite problems. As the first Certified UK DTR Provider (Disclusion Time Reduction Therapy), I utilise a T Scan bite computer along with electronic muscle sensors (EMGs). These tools help me objectively analyse the connection between your bite and the dysfunction in your jaw and head. The discomfort you have been feeling 'in your head' becomes visible and quantifiable in real numbers, becoming presented in a video format. By seeing and then treating the root cause—how your teeth come together—we can effectively address these issues. Additionally, I offer a comprehensive range of high-quality restorative dental services. These include full mouth reconstructions, dental implants, tooth straightening, root canal treatment, complex surgical tooth extractions, suction dentures, high-end crowns, tooth-coloured composite restorations, and smile makeovers. I particularly enjoy creating extremely well-fitting dentures (suction dentures), which help restore the smile and confidence of those who have lost their teeth. This is especially beneficial for the elderly, as it improves their ability to chew food and enhances their nutrition. My dentures never need 'glue' and do not fall out while eating/speaking. I use the BPS Denture/SEMCD Denture protocols to achieve this.
