Preventative care, for every generation
We recommend biannual oral health assessments for all age groups, setting a strong foundation for preventative dentistry - the best remedy for improved oral health and wellness.
Our dental team examines teeth and gums for early detection of periodontal and gum disease. These subtle signs often go unnoticed without any symptoms, yet without timely diagnosis and treatment, small changes can lead to extensive damage or even tooth loss.
Supporting oral health and wellness
Our in-house dental hygienists have specialised training and tools to effectively, safely, and gently eliminate stubborn plaque build-up. By reducing the threat of plaque, we also reduce the chances of gum inflammation and tooth erosion.
Our amiable and skilled team regards your visits as a chance to not only assess your dental health, but also to guide you in maintaining it optimally at home - including screening for oral symptoms of systemic conditions like diabetes, which can increase your risk of oral infections.

Questions
for us?
What’s the difference between a paediatric dentist and a family dentist?+
Paediatric dentists specialise in treating children from infancy through adolescence, with specialised training in children’s dental needs and behavioural management. Family dentists, on the other hand, treat patients of all ages, from toddlers to adults, providing comprehensive dental care for families and making it easier for parents to schedule appointments for everyone in one location. This can simplify your family’s dental care and help maintain consistency as your child grows.
At what age should my child transition to a family dentist?+
There’s no specific age at which all children should transition from a paediatric dentist to a family dentist, but many families choose to switch between ages 12 and 15 - often selected as children begin to have mixed dentition with both baby and permanent teeth. The decision may also depend on maturity and dental needs, so consulting your paediatric dentist about the appropriate timing can provide insights based on your child’s circumstances.
Will my child feel comfortable with a family dentist?+
Comfort is essential when transitioning to a family dentist. Our team is familiar with treating children and creates a welcoming environment that eases anxieties. It’s worth scheduling a preliminary visit so your child can meet the dentist, explore the office, and discuss any concerns - this helps establish familiarity and can make dental visits far less intimidating.
What services should I expect from a family dentist for my child?+
Family dentists offer a wide range of dental services, just as paediatric dentists do. These typically include preventive care (cleanings, check-ups, fluoride treatments), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns), orthodontics, cosmetic procedures, and emergency care. A family dentist should be well-equipped to handle your child’s evolving dental needs as they grow, ensuring a smooth continuum of care.
How do family dentists handle dental emergencies for children?+
Dental emergencies can arise at any age, and our team is trained to handle them effectively. If your child has a dental emergency, contact our office for guidance - we’ll prioritise emergency appointments and give you instructions on managing the situation until you arrive. Read more about our emergency dentist care for extra peace of mind.
Do you take dental insurance?+
We are a fully private practice, so treatment is paid for directly rather than through an NHS contract. If you have a dental insurance or cash plan, you are welcome to claim through it - we will give you a full receipt and any paperwork your provider needs. Just check with your insurer what your policy covers before your appointment.
What role can I play in making this transition smoother for my child?+
As a parent, you can play a vital role in easing your child’s transition. Start by discussing the change openly and positively, emphasising the benefits of seeing a family dentist. Encourage them to ask questions and express their feelings, and arrange a visit before their official appointment to help familiarise them with the new environment. Being supportive during appointments and celebrating positive behaviour afterwards fosters a healthier attitude toward dental visits.
How do I book my family in?+
Book online to see Dr Heydarian at our Hammersmith studio, or call us on 020 8222 8760 and we will find appointment times that work for everyone. We are at 89 Hammersmith Grove, less than ten minutes from Hammersmith station.
