Overview
Most dental care is provided by general dentists, and most problems never need anything more. Some do: teeth that are wearing away, a mouth with several failing crowns, missing teeth, or gum disease that has not settled. That is when seeing a dentist on a General Dental Council (GDC) specialist list can help.
In the UK, a dentist may only call themselves a specialist if they are on one of the GDC's specialist lists, one for each recognised specialty. Joining a list means completing recognised specialist training, usually several years of full-time study and supervised clinical work after qualifying. Anyone can check a dentist's registration and specialist lists on the GDC's online register.
Restorative dentistry is the specialty concerned with keeping teeth healthy, repairing them, and replacing them when they are lost. It brings together gum care (periodontics), root canal treatment (endodontics), and the replacement of teeth with crowns, bridges, implants and dentures (prosthodontics). That breadth is the point: when several problems affect one mouth, they can be planned together, in the right order, rather than one tooth at a time.
Dr Ahmed Jebril is on the GDC's Restorative Dentistry specialist list (GDC 258951) and leads care at Eastdale. Where teeth need moving before they are restored, Dr Amal Abu Maizar, a specialist orthodontist (GDC 100610), plans that stage alongside Dr Jebril.
Process
Book online, request a callback, or ask your dentist to refer you. Tell us what worries you, and send any recent X-rays or treatment plans you already have.
Dr Jebril listens to what you would like to change, examines your teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations, and explains the findings in plain language.
Photographs, digital scans and any X-rays needed, so your plan rests on a full picture of your mouth rather than a single tooth.
The options, including doing nothing, what each involves, the likely number of visits and the fee for each stage, before you commit to anything.
Pain, decay and gum disease are treated before longer-lasting work, so crowns, bridges or implants are built on a stable mouth.
Carried out in the agreed order by the specialist who planned it, with reviews where healing or your bite needs time to settle.
Routine care returns to your dentist with a summary of what was done, and you come back to Eastdale for the reviews your plan sets.
Suitability
After your consultation, each stage of treatment is costed in a written plan, so you know the fees before you decide anything.
