Did you know? Apart from straightening your teeth, our Invisalign specialists (Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon) are also adept at correcting bite function and jaw misalignment with Invisalign too. While Invisalign is known for straightening teeth, our specialists (who are officially among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the world) can also plan your smile journey here at Dental on the Banks to correct these functional issues and give you a full and wide smile.
Correcting Bite Function with Invisalign
You may have heard of terms such as ‘overbite’, ‘underbite’ and ‘crossbite’. These refer to when a patient does not have even distribution and when they bite down aeither the upper or lower jaw is misaligned with the opposite jaw – resulting in either the top or bottom set of teeth protruding over the opposite set. For many, this can be very uncomfortable and present problems when eating. In some cases it can also result in a visual protrusion that can be seen when the mouth is closed as one of the jaws juts out slightly more. When you come in for the first step of your Invisalign journey at Dental on the Banks, Dr. Ramtin or Dr. Damon will take a full 3-D scan of your teeth and mouth and can plan ahead to rectify this with Invisalign should your case need it.
Correcting Jaw Misalignment with Invisalign
Similar to the above, jaw alignment is also something that can be corrected in some cases with Invisalign. With their expert knowledge and experience with the clear aligners, our Invisalign specialists can once again account for and plan this aspect into your Dental on the Banks Invisalign journey. This results in a widening of your smile – meaning that you gain a full smile of straight teeth when your treatment is finished. Known as the smile corridor or buccal corridor, it means that you will have a fuller smile and less ‘black space’ in the corners of your mouth when you smile (as can be seen at one of our before and after cases above).
With a specialist team who are highly trained and experienced in many areas of dentistry, there are some treatments that are our most popular dental treatments. In fact these are the most popular dental treatments in order to get a perfectly straight smile of bright white teeth. They are usually completed in the following order (all by the respective specialists here at Dental on the Banks).
Step 1 – Invisalign (Teeth Straightening)
If you have any misalignment or ‘crooked’ teeth etc., we start with orthodontic treatment (i.e. braces) to straighten your smile. As Invisalign specialists (Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon are officially recognised as among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the entire world); we create custom Invisalign plans to help our patients to discreetly straighten their smiles with the clear Invisalign aligners. While Invisalign is our most popular orthodontic treatment, we also offer more traditional orthodontic options such as fixed metal and clear braces.
Step 2 – Teeth Whitening
After your teeth have been straightened, teeth whitening is the next step to bring your teeth to a brighter, lighter and whiter colour. Teeth whitening at Dental on the Banks takes only two weeks to complete (you wear custom made teeth trays with the whitening gels at night time) and the results can be maintained for life! The reason teeth whitening is usually completed after teeth straightening is to make sure every side and aspect of your teeth are whitened after they have been straightened into the correct position.
Step 3 – Composite Bonding
The final finishing touch then is called composite bonding (also known as composite veneers or cosmetic bonding). This is an optional step and can be used if your teeth have uneven surfaces or edges (such as jagged edges) or are not uniform in size. This aesthetic treatment works by applying layers of white composite material (the same material used in fillings) to your natural teeth – meaning that there is no anaesthetic or drilling involved. This step is usually completed last so that the composite material can be made to match the shade of your teeth after they have been whitened in Step 2.

Invisalign works using a series of clear aligners / trays that you comfortably and securely snap onto your teeth. The very name combines the words ‘invisible’ and ‘align’ as they work to discreetly straighten your teeth. Some of our patients work in TV and the media for example and still are able to wear their Invisalign! They are so discreet that many of our patients (including many footballers, influencers and famous faces) even take selfies and make appearances with them as they are this invisible!

I know this may sound silly but when I first started my business, a lot of self-criticism made it’s way into my world and I believed people didn’t want to work with me because of my smile, I used to be so nervous meeting a new client because of how ‘goofy’ my teeth were. That takes me back, ‘goofy’ was a reference I would answer to back in school days. I’d lived with this insecurity my whole life. If I knew the person I wanted to be, the business I wanted to run, I had to do one thing. GET MY TEETH DONE!”
I approached Dental On The Banks shortly after they opened and I was stunned. Not just at the beautiful appearance but how the price was really no different to the average dental practice in Bournemouth and Poole, yet at Dental On The Banks – you’re not waiting half an hour later than you’re appointment time and there aren’t any creeks when you walk to the waiting room.
The service at Dental On The Banks is, in its best description, having afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason. Let me talk this through. At the bottom we have the most perfectly homemade scones, still warm. You walk into DOTB and you’re greeted with the warmest smiles and service – your coffee is served quite literally but DOTB go a step further than Fortnum & Mason in this case and print your gorgeous face on the coffee. I know, crazy!
Let’s move up a level, those perfectly cut sandwiches – have you ever seen anything like it? I have. Dental On The Banks are pure perfectionists at what they do, they finely tune every tiny detail of your treatment, probably even details you didn’t notice yourself. Now we have the cutest little cakes, ok so you may have to cut out cake on your treatment plan; just kidding. With Invisalign you can remove your tray, eat, clean your teeth and pop your tray back in, nothing is coming between you and those cakes! Lastly, the endless sandwiches your waiter / waitress continuously comes around with, unlimited – THAT is the aftercare you get at Dental On The Banks. You aren’t a number, you are a name, a name that they remember and a name that they want to be in contact with and truly care about. Your teeth are like diamonds to DOTB.
That’s why I will never go to another dentist again. I‘ve met my match and you cannot begin to understand how amazing I feel when I smile now. No fear or self-criticism holding me back, your wellbeing is much more than you possibly think and it deserves more attention and investment than you possibly give it. Do not let anything hold you back from smiling and being your best version. After lockdown, please locate me at Fortnum & Mason showing off my Dental On The Banks smile.”

Testimonial
From my first meeting with Dr Damon and Dr Junaid, I knew that I was in the very best hands to have my dental treatment and the smile that I had dreamed about for a long time. It did not disappoint! The first class service, attention to detail and professionalism at DOTB was outstanding, so much so that my daughter is also about to embark upon her dental journey with the superb team
Farah’s Story
Testimonial
After having composite bonding on my front teeth at a different dentist abroad, I really wasn’t impressed by the results. I was so glad to discover Dental on the Banks and their work! They were able to completely re-do my composite bonding to get my teeth looking exactly as I had wanted them to! I went in disappointed with the look of my teeth and after just one appointment I was leaving with a smile I couldn’t wait to show off! With such a beautiful clinic and amazing and friendly team of staff, I now want to go here for anything to do with my teeth going forward. Thank you!
