Professional teeth whitening in Winchester uses a dentist-grade gel and custom-fitted trays to lighten your teeth safely and evenly, under the eye of a registered dentist. At Solutions Dental Clinic, cosmetic treatments start from £44.44 per month, and whitening is overseen by Dr Nayma Taher. As of June 2026, here’s what to expect, and why supermarket kits so often disappoint.
There’s also a legal point most people don’t know, and it’s worth getting straight before you buy anything off a shelf.
Whitening works by using a peroxide-based gel to break down stains that have built up in the tooth, from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and simply getting older. Done properly, it lifts the colour of your natural teeth by several shades without harming them.
The key word is properly. A dentist controls the strength of the gel, protects your gums, and tailors the treatment to your teeth. That’s how you get an even result rather than a patchy one, and why the change looks natural instead of startling.
Your own teeth, several shades brighter, with nothing fake about it.
Here’s the part the adverts skip. Many over-the-counter whitening kits contain very weak active ingredients, or none of the effective ones at all, because the strong stuff is restricted for safety. So results are often slow, patchy, or barely there.
There’s also a legal point. In the UK, only a registered dental professional can legally whiten teeth. Beauty salons, kiosks and online “specialists” offering whitening without a dentist involved are breaking the law, and a poorly applied gel can burn gums or damage enamel.
So the cheap option can cost more in the long run, in money and in risk.
At Solutions Dental Clinic, whitening starts with custom-fitted trays made to the shape of your own teeth. That fit matters more than people realise: it holds the gel evenly against every tooth and keeps it off your gums, which is what gives a smooth, comfortable result.
Dr Nayma Taher, whose focus is aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, oversees the process from start to finish. You’re not guessing with a one-size-fits-all mouthpiece. You’re following a plan built around your teeth, with professional-grade gel and someone qualified checking your progress.
That combination is exactly what a shelf kit can’t offer.
There’s usually a choice of how you whiten, and neither is wrong. It comes down to your routine and your goals:
Many people combine the two, getting a head start at the clinic and topping up at home. Dr Nayma Taher will help you pick the approach that fits your timeline and your teeth.
Whitening is safe when a dentist is involved, and the first step is always a check. Before any gel goes near your teeth, Dr Nayma Taher looks at your gums, checks for decay, and notes any fillings, crowns or veneers, because those don’t whiten the way natural teeth do.
This matters. Whitening over an undiagnosed problem, or expecting a crown to lighten, leads to disappointment or harm. A proper assessment means your result is even, your existing dental work is accounted for, and your mouth is healthy enough to whiten in the first place.
That check is part of why professional whitening is worth it.
Whitening isn’t permanent, but it lasts well with a little care, often a year or more before a top-up. Your custom trays make those top-ups easy and cheap, because you already have them.
The things that stain teeth in the first place will gradually do so again, so cutting back on coffee, red wine and smoking helps. Good brushing and regular hygienist visits keep your smile bright between treatments. If you’re considering other changes too, it’s worth looking at other cosmetic treatments that pair well with whitening.
Cosmetic treatments at Solutions, including whitening, start from £44.44 per month based on an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit. Your exact cost depends on the option you choose, and you’ll get a clear written breakdown at your consultation.

How much does teeth whitening cost in the UK?
Professional whitening costs vary by clinic and by whether you choose take-home, in-practice, or both. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, cosmetic treatments including whitening start from £44.44 per month on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. Dr Nayma Taher confirms your exact cost at your consultation, after checking which approach suits your teeth.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when carried out by a registered dental professional. Before treatment, Dr Nayma Taher at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester checks your gums, looks for decay, and accounts for any existing fillings or crowns. Custom trays keep the gel off your gums for an even, comfortable result. That oversight is what makes professional whitening both safe and effective.
Do over-the-counter whitening kits work?
Often poorly. Many shop-bought kits contain very weak active ingredients, so results are slow, patchy or minimal, and ill-fitting trays can irritate your gums. Professional whitening at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester uses dentist-grade gel and custom trays under Dr Nayma Taher’s supervision, giving a stronger, more even and longer-lasting result.
How long does teeth whitening last?
With good care, professional whitening often lasts a year or more before you’d want a top-up. Because you keep your custom trays, top-ups are simple and affordable. Cutting back on coffee, red wine and smoking, plus regular hygienist visits, helps the brightness last. Dr Nayma Taher will explain how to maintain your results at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.
Is it legal to whiten teeth without a dentist?
No. In the UK, only a registered dental professional can legally whiten teeth. Whitening offered by beauty salons or non-dentists is illegal and can be unsafe, risking burnt gums or damaged enamel. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, whitening is overseen by Dr Nayma Taher, so you know it’s both legal and properly supervised.
If you want whiter teeth without the guesswork of a kit, professional whitening gives you a safer, more even result. Book with Dr Nayma Taher at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

Same Day Teeth means walking into Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester with failing or missing teeth and leaving the same day with a fixed, full set supported by implants. It suits people facing extensive tooth loss who want a permanent result without months of gaps. As of June 2026, treatment starts from £178.50 per month.
That sounds almost too good to be true, so let’s slow down and look at what’s actually involved, who it genuinely helps, and why the team you choose makes such a difference.
The name is literal, but it needs a little unpacking. On the day of treatment, your remaining failing teeth are removed if needed, dental implants are placed into the jaw, and a fixed set of teeth is secured onto those implants before you go home. You don’t leave with gaps, and you don’t wear a loose plate while you heal.
It’s sometimes called teeth in a day or full-arch implant treatment. The fixed teeth you receive on the day let you eat and smile straight away. A final set is fitted later once everything has settled, giving you the long-term result.
So it isn’t a quick cosmetic trick. It’s proper implant surgery, planned carefully, delivered in a single visit.
This treatment tends to suit people who’ve reached the end of the road with their natural teeth or with traditional dentures. You might recognise yourself here if:
Bone loss doesn’t automatically rule you out. Full-arch techniques are often designed to make the most of the bone you still have, which is one reason this approach helps people who were told elsewhere that implants weren’t possible.
The honest part: not everyone is suitable, and a good clinic will tell you so. That’s what the consultation is for.
Most patients are surprised by how calm the day feels once they know the plan. Before anything happens, your case is mapped using CBCT scanning, a 3D X-ray that shows the bone, nerves and sinuses in detail. That planning is what lets the surgery be precise rather than guesswork.
On the day, Dr Sami Shubber places the implants under local anaesthetic, with sedation available if you’d prefer to drift through it. Once the implants are in, your fixed teeth are attached. You rest, you’re checked over, and you go home with a smile that works.
There’s healing to follow, and you’ll be guided through soft foods and aftercare. But the gap-free transformation happens that day.
Here’s where Solutions Dental Clinic differs from most places offering this treatment.
At a lot of clinics, the surgeon places the implants and the actual teeth are made by an outside laboratory the patient never meets. At Solutions, the clinic was founded by Lee Butler, a Clinical Dental Technician, so the person crafting your teeth works in the same building as the surgeon placing your implants.
Dr Sami Shubber is a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon, and he’s also completed an MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry at King’s College London. So the surgery is handled by a specialist, and the look of your teeth is handled by one of the people who literally make them for a living. Those two skills rarely sit in the same room.
For you, that means fewer messages lost between a clinic and a distant lab, and a result judged by eyes that care about both function and appearance.
Same Day Teeth at Solutions starts from £178.50 per month, based on an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit. Spreading the cost this way keeps a life-changing treatment within reach rather than asking for one daunting lump sum.
Your exact figure depends on how many implants your case needs and the materials chosen for your final teeth. You’ll get a clear, written breakdown at your consultation before you commit to anything.
With good care, implant-supported teeth can last many years, and the implants themselves can last decades. The fixed teeth on top will get wear over time, much like any teeth, and may eventually need refreshing.
Looking after them is mostly straightforward: clean well, keep your reviews, and don’t skip the hygienist. Dr Sami Shubber and the team will show you exactly how to care for your new teeth so they stay solid and natural-looking for as long as possible.
Your first visit is a conversation, not a commitment. You’ll talk through what’s bothering you, have a CBCT scan if appropriate, and hear honestly whether Same Day Teeth is right for you or whether something simpler would do.
You’ll leave knowing your options, your likely plan, and your costs. If you’d like to compare routes, ask about how dental implants work for single or multiple gaps, or about implant-retained dentures if a removable option suits you better.
What is same day teeth?
Same Day Teeth is full-arch implant treatment where failing teeth are removed, implants are placed, and a fixed set of teeth is fitted, all in one visit. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, you leave the same day with teeth you can eat and smile with, rather than waiting months with gaps or a loose plate.
How long do same day teeth last?
The implants can last for decades with good care, while the fixed teeth attached to them wear gradually and may eventually need refreshing. Cleaning well, attending hygienist appointments and keeping your reviews with Dr Sami Shubber all help your Same Day Teeth stay strong and natural-looking for the long term.
Am I suitable for same day teeth?
Many people with failing teeth, multiple gaps, or unstable dentures are suitable, and some bone loss doesn’t rule you out. The only way to know is an assessment, which includes a CBCT scan. At your consultation in Winchester, Dr Sami Shubber will tell you honestly whether this treatment fits or whether another option suits you better.
How much do same day teeth cost?
At Solutions Dental Clinic, Same Day Teeth starts from £178.50 per month based on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. Your exact cost depends on the number of implants and the materials for your final teeth. You’ll receive a clear written breakdown at your consultation before deciding anything.
Does it hurt to have same day teeth?
The treatment is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during it, and sedation is available if you feel anxious. Some swelling and tenderness afterwards is normal and manageable with the aftercare Dr Sami Shubber provides. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the recovery is.
If you’re tired of hiding your smile or struggling with loose teeth, a single honest conversation can tell you whether Same Day Teeth is right for you. Book a consultation at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

If you’ve lost a tooth, you’ve got three main ways to replace it in Winchester: a dental implant, a bridge, or a denture. Each suits different mouths, budgets and timelines, and there’s no single right answer. At Solutions Dental Clinic, implants start from £25.20 a month and dentures from £10.92 a month. As of June 2026, here’s how to weigh them up honestly.
The best choice depends on your teeth, not on a sales pitch. So let’s walk through it.
It’s tempting to live with a gap, especially if it’s towards the back and nobody sees it. But a missing tooth rarely stays a simple gap for long.
The teeth either side gradually tilt into the space, and the tooth above or below can start to drift down or up. That shifts your bite, makes cleaning harder, and can pile pressure onto teeth that were doing fine. The jawbone where the tooth used to be also tends to shrink over time without a root to stimulate it.
So replacing a tooth isn’t only about looks. It protects the teeth you’ve still got.
Here’s the short version before we dig into each one.
None of these is simply “best.” The right one depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of the teeth around the gap, your jawbone, and your budget.
An implant replaces the root of the tooth with a small titanium post, topped with a crown. Because it’s anchored in the bone, it feels and works much like a natural tooth, and it leaves the teeth either side completely untouched.
At Solutions Dental Clinic, implants are placed by Dr Sami Shubber, a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon, who plans each case using a CBCT 3D scan before any surgery. That planning is what makes the placement precise, even where there’s been some bone loss.
Implants are the longest-lasting option, often a lifetime with good care, and they stop the bone shrinkage that follows tooth loss. The trade-off is a higher upfront cost and a healing period while the implant fuses. You can read more about dental implants at Solutions Dental Clinic and whether your jaw is suitable.
A bridge literally bridges the gap by anchoring a false tooth to the teeth on either side, which are crowned to hold it. It’s fixed, so it doesn’t come out, and it’s usually quicker and cheaper than an implant.
The catch is in how it works. To fit a bridge, the neighbouring teeth have to be shaped down to take the crowns, even if they’re perfectly healthy. That’s an irreversible step. So a bridge often makes most sense when those neighbouring teeth are already crowned or heavily filled, because then you’re not sacrificing healthy tooth.
A bridge typically lasts around 10 to 15 years before it needs replacing. It’s a solid middle option for the right mouth.
Dentures have a reputation problem, usually based on ill-fitting ones from years ago. A well-made modern denture is a different thing entirely.
This is where Solutions Dental Clinic does something unusual. The practice was founded by Lee Butler, a Clinical Dental Technician, which means the person who makes your denture is the person who fits it. He can match the shape and shade to your face while you’re in the chair, rather than posting an impression to a lab you never deal with. Patients are often surprised how natural the result looks.
Dentures are the most flexible option on cost, starting from £10.92 a month, and they can replace one tooth or many. They’re removable for cleaning. If movement is your worry, they can also be steadied with a few implants. There’s more on natural-looking dentures and how they’re made.
If you’re missing several teeth, or facing the loss of a whole arch, the options shift. You’re then choosing between a larger bridge, a partial or full denture, or implant-supported teeth.
For a full arch, Solutions offers Same Day Teeth for a full arch, where implants and a fixed set of teeth are placed in a single visit. It pairs Dr Sami Shubber’s surgical work with Lee Butler’s technical craft, so the function and the look are handled under one roof.
The more teeth involved, the more it’s worth a proper assessment rather than guessing from a price list.
The honest truth is that the right option is different for everyone, and a good consultation should feel like advice, not a sale. At your assessment in Winchester, the team looks at how many teeth are missing, the condition of the teeth around the gap, your jawbone, and what matters most to you, whether that’s longevity, cost, or avoiding surgery.
Sometimes an implant is clearly the right long-term answer. Sometimes a denture does the job beautifully for a fraction of the cost. Often there’s a sensible middle path. Dr Sami Shubber and Lee Butler will lay out what each route means for your mouth specifically, with clear written costs, so you can decide without pressure.
What are my options for replacing missing teeth?
The three main options are dental implants, bridges and dentures. Implants replace the tooth root and last longest; bridges anchor a false tooth to the neighbours; dentures are removable and most flexible on cost. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Sami Shubber and Lee Butler will help you choose the one that suits your mouth and budget.
Are implants better than a bridge?
Implants last longer and don’t involve shaping the neighbouring teeth, which a bridge requires. But a bridge can be the sensible choice if those neighbours are already crowned or heavily filled. It depends on your specific teeth. Dr Sami Shubber at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester will explain which protects your mouth better in the long run.
How much does it cost to replace a missing tooth?
It varies by option. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, dentures start from £10.92 a month and implants from £25.20 a month, both on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. Bridges sit in between. You’ll get a clear written breakdown at your consultation once the team has assessed which option suits you.
What happens if you don’t replace a missing tooth?
The teeth either side can tilt into the gap, the opposing tooth may drift, and your bite can change over time. The jawbone where the tooth was tends to shrink too. Replacing the tooth protects the teeth you still have. The team at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester can advise how urgent it is in your case.
Can you replace several missing teeth at once?
Yes. Several missing teeth can be replaced with a larger bridge, a partial or full denture, or implant-supported teeth. For a full arch, Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester offers Same Day Teeth, fitting implants and a fixed set of teeth in one visit, combining Dr Sami Shubber’s surgery with Lee Butler’s technical work.
The quickest way to know is a proper look and an honest conversation. Book an assessment at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester and the team will talk you through implants, bridges and dentures for your specific case.

Natural-looking dentures come down to one thing more than any other: the skill of the person who makes them. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, that person is Lee Butler, a Clinical Dental Technician, and he’s also the person who fits them. As of June 2026, dentures here start from £10.92 per month, and the difference shows in the result.
If you’ve ever winced at the thought of dentures that look false, this is the part of the story most clinics never explain.
We’ve all seen dentures that announce themselves: too white, too even, too obviously not real teeth. That look usually comes from rushed work, generic moulds, and teeth set in a row like piano keys rather than the way nature actually arranges them.
Real teeth aren’t perfectly uniform. They have slight character, a little irregularity, shades that vary subtly from one tooth to the next. Gums have shape and tone. Recreating all of that takes an eye for detail and time at the workbench.
Get those details right and a denture quietly disappears into your face. Get them wrong and it sits there for everyone to notice.
Most people have never heard of a Clinical Dental Technician, so here’s the plain version. A CDT is a registered dental professional trained and qualified to design, make and fit dentures directly with patients. They’re the craftsperson behind the teeth.
Lee Butler holds the Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology from the Royal College of Surgeons of England and is registered with the General Dental Council. At most practices, the dentist takes an impression and posts it off to a lab where a technician you’ll never meet makes your denture. The technician’s questions about your face, your bite and your preferences get filtered through a third party, if they’re asked at all.
At Solutions, that gap simply doesn’t exist.
This is the clinic’s founding idea, and it’s genuinely unusual. Solutions Dental Clinic was built by a technician so that patients deal directly with the person who makes their teeth.
Why does that matter so much for how natural your dentures look? Because the person shaping your teeth can see your face, hear what you want, watch how you smile and talk, and adjust on the spot. Nothing is lost in translation between a clinic and a distant laboratory.
Lee can match the shape of a tooth to the shape of your face, pick shades against your own skin tone, and fine-tune the fit while you’re sitting there. Patients often say the same thing afterwards: they never thought a denture could look like that. One described leaving with “a smile I never thought I could have.”
That’s not marketing. It’s what happens when craftsmanship and care sit in the same room.
If your worry is movement rather than looks, there’s a sturdier route. Implant-retained dentures use a small number of dental implants placed in the jaw, with attachments that let your denture click firmly into place.
No more avoiding apples or worrying mid-conversation. The denture stays put, yet you can still remove it to clean. You can read more about dental implants to stabilise a denture and discuss whether this suits your jaw and budget.
For many people, this is the middle ground between a traditional denture and full implant treatment.
Dentures at Solutions start from £10.92 per month, based on an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit. There’s a range of styles, shades and materials to suit different budgets and looks, all discussed openly before any work begins.
Implant-retained options cost more because of the implant surgery involved, and you’ll get a clear written breakdown at your consultation. No surprises, no pressure.
If you’re already wearing dentures and quietly putting up with them, a few signs suggest you could do better:
A denture should feel like part of you, not a daily compromise. If yours doesn’t, it’s worth a conversation. You can also meet the team behind your treatment before you book, so you know exactly who’ll be looking after you.
What are the most natural-looking dentures?
The most natural dentures are individually designed to match your face, smile and skin tone, with teeth set the way nature arranges them rather than in a perfect row. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Clinical Dental Technician Lee Butler makes and fits dentures himself, which is why patients describe results that genuinely look like their own teeth.
How much do dentures cost in the UK?
Private denture costs vary widely depending on materials, design and whether implants are involved. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, dentures start from £10.92 per month based on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. You’ll receive a clear written quote at your consultation, with options to suit different budgets explained openly.
What is a clinical dental technician?
A Clinical Dental Technician, or CDT, is a registered dental professional qualified to design, make and fit dentures directly with patients. Lee Butler, who founded Solutions Dental Clinic, holds the Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology from the Royal College of Surgeons and is GDC registered, so the person making your denture is the person fitting it.
Can dentures look real?
Yes. With careful design, the right shades and teeth arranged naturally, a well-made denture can be very hard to spot. The key is the skill of the maker. Because Lee Butler makes and fits dentures himself at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, he can match every detail to your face while you’re in the chair.
Are implant-retained dentures better?
They’re better for stability. Implant-retained dentures clip onto a few dental implants, so they don’t move when you eat or talk, yet you can still remove them to clean. They cost more than standard dentures because of the implant surgery. Dr Sami Shubber and Lee Butler can advise whether they suit your jaw at your consultation.
If you want dentures that look natural and fit properly, talk to the person who’ll actually make them. Book a consultation at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

If the thought of the dentist makes your stomach drop, you’re in the right place. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, we help anxious patients with a calm, unhurried approach, sedation when it’s wanted, and a dentist trained in managing fear. As of June 2026, you can book a first visit that’s just a chat, with no treatment at all.
So take a breath. Let’s talk about why this is so common, and how it gets easier.
Dental fear is one of the most common anxieties there is. Plenty of people put off going for years, then feel embarrassed about the wait, which only makes the next step harder.
Here’s the thing: that fear is real and understandable, and nobody at Solutions will judge you for it. Many of our patients arrive having avoided dentists for a long time, often after a bad experience somewhere else. They’re not unusual. They’re the people we’re set up to help.
You don’t have to apologise for being nervous. You just have to walk through the door.
Fear of the dentist usually starts somewhere specific: a painful appointment as a child, a clinician who rushed you, a feeling of having no control in the chair. Over time, avoidance feeds the fear. The longer you stay away, the more you worry about what might be found.
It becomes a loop. Anxiety leads to avoidance, avoidance leads to problems, problems lead to more anxiety. Breaking that loop gently is the whole point of how we work.
And it can be broken. Often more easily than people expect.
Your first appointment can be exactly as small as you need it to be. For many nervous patients, that means no instruments and no treatment, just a conversation about what worries you and what you’d like to change.
We go at your pace. You can ask to stop at any point, agree a signal to pause, and take breaks. The clinic is calm and welcoming by design, and patients regularly mention the patience and time taken as the thing that finally made the difference. There are weekend and out-of-hours appointments too, with emergency cover available every day of the year through The247Dentist, so help is there when you need it.
No lectures about flossing. Just a plan you feel in control of.
Sometimes reassurance is enough. Sometimes a little extra help makes everything calmer, and that’s completely fine. Sedation uses safe, carefully monitored medication to help you feel relaxed and detached during treatment, while staying conscious.
It’s particularly useful if you need a longer procedure, or if past experiences have left you very tense. You’ll be talked through what it feels like beforehand, and what to expect afterwards, so nothing comes as a surprise. Dr Sami Shubber, who is sedation-trained, will only ever suggest what genuinely suits you.
This is where Solutions Dental Clinic offers something unusual in Winchester. Dr Sami Shubber is a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon, and he has also completed training in cognitive behavioural therapy, the same kind of approach used to help people manage anxiety more broadly.
Why does that matter? Because numbing the moment is one thing, but understanding the fear itself is another. CBT training means he can help address the thoughts that drive the anxiety, not only the sensation in the chair. That’s a rarer skill than you might think, and it’s exactly what nervous patients benefit from.
He also served as Vice-chair of the BDA Young Dentists Committee, so he’s a clinician engaged with how dentistry treats people, not just teeth.
The promise is simple. We won’t rush you, we won’t make you feel guilty about the state of your teeth or how long it’s been, and we won’t start anything you haven’t agreed to.
Some people come for a chat, then a clean, then build up slowly to the treatment they’ve been avoiding. Others feel ready sooner. Both are fine. If you’d like to put a face to the team before you visit, you can meet Dr Sami Shubber and the team first. When you’re ready, even simpler treatments like professional teeth whitening can be a gentle way to rebuild your confidence in the chair.
How can I overcome my fear of the dentist?
Start small. A first visit that’s just a conversation, with no treatment, helps you build trust at your own pace. Choosing a clinic that understands anxiety matters too. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Sami Shubber is trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, so he can help with the fear itself, not only the dental work.
What sedation options are there at the dentist?
Sedation helps you feel calm and relaxed during treatment while staying conscious, and it’s monitored carefully throughout. It’s useful for longer procedures or for very anxious patients. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Sami Shubber is sedation-trained and will explain what it feels like beforehand, recommending it only when it genuinely suits you and your treatment.
Is dental sedation safe?
When carried out and monitored by trained professionals, sedation is considered very safe. You’ll be assessed first, talked through the process, and watched closely throughout. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Sami Shubber, who is sedation-trained, will check it’s suitable for you and answer every question before anything begins, so you feel fully informed.
Can a dentist help with anxiety?
Yes, and some are better equipped than others. Beyond a calm environment and an unhurried approach, Dr Sami Shubber at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester is trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps address the anxious thoughts behind dental fear. That, combined with sedation when wanted, gives nervous patients real support rather than just sympathy.
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
That’s far more common than you’d think, and nobody will judge you for it. The team at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester is used to welcoming people back after long gaps. Your first visit can simply be a chat about your worries, with no treatment and no lectures, so you can rebuild trust gently and at your own pace.
You don’t have to book a treatment. You can just book a conversation. That’s often all it takes to start feeling better about the dentist again. Reach out to Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

Invisalign in Winchester is a set of clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth gradually, and at Solutions Dental Clinic your treatment is overseen by Dr Nayma Taher, an official Invisalign provider since 2020. The cost is confirmed at your assessment and spread over an 18-month plan. As of June 2026, that’s how pricing works here, and this guide explains the value behind it.
Across Hampshire, adult clear-aligner treatment typically falls somewhere between £1,800 and £3,649, which gives you a sense of the market. Your own figure depends on your teeth.
Let’s be straight about this, because vague “from” prices help no one. The exact cost of Invisalign at Solutions Dental Clinic is confirmed after Dr Nayma Taher assesses your teeth, then spread across an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit.
Why isn’t there a single sticker price? Because Invisalign isn’t one product. A small front-teeth correction and a full-arch realignment are very different amounts of work, and quoting one number for both would be misleading.
What you get instead is an honest, personal figure once someone has actually looked in your mouth.
A few things move the cost up or down, and knowing them helps you understand any quote:
Mild crowding on the front teeth sits at the lower end. A bigger bite correction needs more aligners and more appointments, so it costs more. The assessment is what pins down your number.
People often assume braces are the cheap option and Invisalign the luxury one. The reality is more even than that.
Fixed braces can handle very complex cases and are sometimes a little cheaper for the most involved work. But they’re visible, they can irritate the inside of your mouth, and cleaning around them is fiddly. Invisalign aligners are clear, removable for meals and brushing, and most adults barely notice wearing them.
The catch with Invisalign is discipline. They only work if you wear them 20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out and leave them out, and progress stalls. For motivated adults, that trade is usually well worth it.
This is where the clinic you choose makes a real difference. Clear aligners are planned digitally, and the quality of that planning decides your result.
At Solutions Dental Clinic, Dr Nayma Taher has been an official Invisalign provider since 2020 and completed a year-long smile makeover training programme. Her colleague Dr Abraham Loubser is studying a Master’s in Clear Aligner Therapy, so aligners are taken seriously here as a craft, not a sideline.
An experienced provider spots the cases that need careful sequencing, plans the movements predictably, and knows when a refinement will sharpen the finish. That judgement is exactly what you’re paying for.
Invisalign isn’t the only route, and the right system depends on your teeth and timeline. Solutions also offers:
If you’re not sure which suits you, that’s a normal question to bring to your assessment. You can browse teeth straightening at Solutions Dental Clinic for an overview first.
Treatment is spread over an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit, which turns a larger figure into a manageable monthly amount. The full terms and your exact monthly cost are confirmed at your consultation.
It’s worth thinking of straightening as the groundwork for a healthier mouth, not only a cosmetic boost. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, and many patients go on to finish with whitening or other cosmetic treatments to finish your smile.
Your assessment with Dr Nayma Taher is relaxed and no-obligation. She’ll examine your teeth, talk through what’s realistic, and explain whether Invisalign or another system fits your goals and your bite.
You’ll leave knowing your options, a likely timeline, and your cost, with no pressure to decide on the spot. If you’d like to meet the team first, you can meet the clinicians before booking.
How much does Invisalign cost in the UK?
UK Invisalign prices generally run from around £1,800 for short cases to over £3,600 for complex treatment, and Hampshire sits within that range. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, your exact cost is confirmed by Dr Nayma Taher at your assessment and spread over an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit, so you get a personal figure rather than a guess.
Is Invisalign worth it?
For many adults, yes. The aligners are clear and removable, so you can eat and clean normally, and most people find them comfortable. The result lasts when you wear them as directed and use your retainers afterwards. With an experienced provider like Dr Nayma Taher at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, the planning behind your treatment is in capable hands.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most cases take between six and eighteen months. Minor front-teeth corrections can finish faster, while bigger bite changes take longer. You’ll get a projected timeline at your assessment with Dr Nayma Taher, based on how far your teeth need to move. Wearing the aligners 20 to 22 hours a day keeps treatment on schedule.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
It depends on your case. Invisalign is discreet and removable, which most adults prefer, while fixed braces can tackle the most complex movements and are sometimes cheaper for heavy work. The trade-off with Invisalign is wearing them consistently. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Nayma Taher will advise honestly which suits your teeth.
Can I pay for Invisalign monthly?
Yes. Solutions Dental Clinic spreads treatment over an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit, turning the total into a manageable monthly amount. Your exact monthly figure and the full terms are confirmed at your assessment in Winchester, once Dr Nayma Taher has worked out the treatment your teeth actually need.
A short, no-obligation assessment with an experienced Invisalign provider will tell you your options, timeline and cost. Book at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

Dental implants in Winchester start from £25.20 per month at Solutions Dental Clinic, and they’re placed by Dr Sami Shubber, a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon. The process replaces a missing tooth root with a small titanium post, topped with a natural-looking crown. As of June 2026, that’s the real starting figure, and the rest of this guide explains what your money actually buys.
Because with implants, who does the surgery matters just as much as what you pay.
An implant is a small titanium post placed into your jawbone where a tooth root used to be. Once it has fused with the bone, it acts as a sturdy foundation for a crown, a bridge, or even a full set of teeth.
The clever part is that it replaces the root, not just the visible tooth. That’s why an implant feels and behaves so much like a natural tooth: it’s anchored in bone, so it won’t slip, click, or come loose the way a denture can. You eat what you like and brush it like the rest of your teeth.
One post, one crown, and a gap that finally feels solved.
This is the part too many price comparisons skip. Implant surgery is still surgery, and the experience of the person doing it shapes your result.
At Solutions Dental Clinic, your implants are placed by Dr Sami Shubber, who is a Registered Specialist in Oral Surgery on the GDC’s specialist list. He also holds an MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry from King’s College London, so he’s thinking about how the finished tooth looks, not only how the implant sits.
What does that mean for you? Tricky cases, including ones involving bone loss, are handled by someone whose registered field is surgery rather than a general dentist working at the edge of their training. If you’ve been turned away elsewhere, it’s worth a second opinion here.
People often imagine implants as one long ordeal. In reality it’s a series of short, well-spaced steps:
The CBCT scan is what makes the surgery precise. Dr Sami Shubber plans the exact position before he ever picks up an instrument, which reduces surprises and protects the structures around the site.
Most single-implant placements are quicker and gentler than patients expect.
Implants aren’t the only way to fill a gap, so here’s an honest comparison.
| Option | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant | One missing tooth, healthy neighbours | Higher upfront cost, surgery involved |
| Bridge | A gap where neighbouring teeth are already crowned | Involves shaping nearby teeth |
| Denture | Several missing teeth, lower budget | Can move; less like a natural tooth |
A bridge uses the teeth either side as anchors, which means cutting into otherwise healthy teeth. An implant leaves your neighbouring teeth untouched. For multiple gaps, ask about Same Day Teeth for multiple missing teeth or implant-retained dentures, which combine implants with a removable plate.
Implants at Solutions start from £25.20 per month, based on an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit. The total depends on how many implants you need and what goes on top, whether that’s a single crown, a bridge, or a full arch.
You’ll get a clear written breakdown at your consultation, so you know the full picture before committing. Spreading the cost monthly is what keeps treatment realistic for most people rather than a one-off shock.
A well-placed, well-cared-for implant can last decades, and many last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing eventually through normal wear, but the implant itself is built to stay.
The biggest factor in longevity is you: good cleaning, no smoking, and regular reviews with the hygienist. Look after an implant and it’ll quietly do its job for years without fuss.
Honest answer: the procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain while it happens, and sedation is there if you’re nervous. Afterwards, expect some tenderness and perhaps mild swelling for a few days, easily managed with ordinary pain relief.
Most patients are back to normal routines quickly and are surprised it was far less dramatic than they feared. Dr Sami Shubber gives you clear aftercare so you know exactly what’s normal and what to watch for.
How much do dental implants cost in the UK?
UK implant prices vary a lot by location, the number of implants and what’s fitted on top. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, implants start from £25.20 per month on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. Your exact cost is confirmed at a consultation with a clear written breakdown, once Dr Sami Shubber has assessed your case.
Are dental implants worth it?
For many people, yes. Implants replace the tooth root, so they feel stable and let you eat normally, unlike a denture that can move. They also protect neighbouring teeth, which a bridge does not. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, they’re placed by Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon Dr Sami Shubber, which adds real reassurance for the investment.
How long do dental implants last?
A well-placed implant cared for properly can last decades, and often a lifetime. The crown attached to it may need replacing over the years through normal wear. Good cleaning, not smoking, and regular hygienist visits make the biggest difference. Dr Sami Shubber will show you exactly how to care for your implant at Solutions Dental Clinic.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during it, and sedation is available if you’re anxious. Afterwards, mild tenderness or swelling for a few days is normal and manageable with standard pain relief. Most patients at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester find recovery far easier than they expected.
Should I get a single implant or a bridge?
It depends on your teeth. An implant leaves neighbouring teeth untouched, while a bridge needs them shaped to act as anchors. If the teeth either side are healthy, an implant often protects your mouth better long term. Dr Sami Shubber will talk you through both at your Winchester consultation, with no pressure either way.
If you’re weighing up implants, a single consultation with a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon will tell you what’s possible and what it costs. Book at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

Composite bonding and veneers both improve chipped, gapped or discoloured front teeth, but they suit different people. Bonding is quicker, cheaper and preserves more of your own tooth; veneers last longer and resist stains better. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Kate Carnall helps you choose, with cosmetic treatments from £44.44 per month. As of June 2026, here’s how to weigh them up.
The right answer isn’t the same for everyone, so let’s look at what each one really offers.
If you want a faster, lower-cost change that keeps your natural tooth largely intact, composite bonding is often the better starting point. If you want maximum durability and stain resistance, and you’re happy with a bigger commitment, veneers tend to win.
Bonding builds up tooth-coloured resin directly onto your tooth in a single visit. Veneers are thin custom shells, usually porcelain, made in a lab and bonded over the front of the tooth across two or more visits.
Neither is simply “better.” They’re tools for different jobs.
Composite bonding is the gentle, flexible option. Dr Kate Carnall shapes a tooth-coloured resin onto your tooth and sculpts it to close a gap, rebuild a chip, or smooth an uneven edge, often in one appointment.
Because it usually needs little or no drilling, most of your natural tooth stays exactly as it is. That matters, because once enamel is removed it doesn’t grow back. Bonding is also repairable: if you chip it years later, it can often be patched rather than redone entirely.
For younger patients, or anyone who wants to start conservatively, it’s a sensible first step.
Veneers are the long-haul choice. As thin porcelain shells made to fit your teeth precisely, they resist staining well and tend to last longer than bonding before needing replacement.
They’re well suited to bigger transformations, where several teeth need reshaping or significant colour change. The trade-off is that the tooth usually needs some preparation, often a little enamel removed, to make room for the shell. That’s an irreversible step, which is exactly why it deserves careful thought first.
Done well, veneers can give a striking, durable result. They’re simply a larger commitment than bonding.
Here’s a straightforward comparison to keep things clear.
| Factor | Composite bonding | Veneers |
|---|---|---|
| Visits | Often one | Usually two or more |
| Tooth preparation | Little or none | Some enamel often removed |
| Longevity | Several years, repairable | Longer, but replaced when worn |
| Stain resistance | Can pick up stain over time | Very stain resistant |
| Reversibility | More conservative | Less reversible |
Both need the same basics to last: good brushing, regular check-ups, and easing off habits like biting nails or chewing pen lids. The hygienist is your friend either way.
If protecting natural tooth structure is your priority, composite bonding usually comes out ahead. Solutions Dental Clinic states that its techniques are developed to preserve your natural tooth structure, and bonding fits that thinking closely because it adds material rather than removing much.
Veneers can still be done conservatively, and modern approaches remove less than they once did, but there’s typically more preparation involved than with bonding. Dr Kate Carnall will be honest with you about how much of your own tooth each option keeps.
This is a conversation, not a sales pitch. Dr Kate Carnall qualified at the University of Bristol in 1995 and has a particular interest in anterior aesthetics and smile design, which is exactly the front-tooth work bonding and veneers involve.
She’ll look at the shape of your teeth, your bite, the colour you’re hoping for and how much change you actually want. Sometimes bonding alone does the job beautifully. Sometimes veneers are the better long-term fit. And sometimes a quick course of professional teeth whitening first changes the plan entirely.
The point is matching the treatment to you, not the other way round.
Cosmetic treatments at Solutions start from £44.44 per month, based on an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit. Your exact figure depends on how many teeth are treated and whether you choose bonding or veneers.
You’ll get a clear written breakdown at your consultation. Explore the full range of cosmetic dentistry at Solutions Dental Clinic before you book, so you arrive with the right questions.
How much does composite bonding cost in the UK?
Composite bonding is generally charged per tooth and costs less than veneers because it’s usually done in one visit with little preparation. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, cosmetic treatments start from £44.44 per month on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. Dr Kate Carnall confirms your exact cost at your consultation, based on how many teeth you want treated.
Is composite bonding better than veneers?
Neither is simply better; they suit different needs. Bonding is faster, cheaper and preserves more natural tooth, while veneers last longer and resist stains. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, Dr Kate Carnall will look at your teeth and goals and recommend whichever genuinely fits, rather than pushing the more expensive option.
Does composite bonding damage your teeth?
No. Composite bonding usually needs little or no drilling, so most of your natural tooth stays intact, and the resin is added to the surface. That’s one of its main advantages over veneers, which often require some enamel removal. Dr Kate Carnall at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester favours treatments that preserve your natural tooth structure.
How long does composite bonding last?
With good care, composite bonding lasts several years, and a real benefit is that it can be repaired rather than fully replaced if it chips. Avoiding habits like biting nails, plus regular check-ups and hygienist visits, helps it last. Dr Kate Carnall will explain how to look after your bonding at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.
Can bonding fix gaps and chips?
Yes. Composite bonding is well suited to closing small gaps, rebuilding chipped edges and smoothing uneven teeth, often in a single appointment. Dr Kate Carnall sculpts the tooth-coloured resin directly onto the tooth and shapes it to match your smile. For larger changes, she may suggest veneers instead at your Winchester consultation.
The best way to decide between bonding and veneers is an honest conversation with someone who does this work every day. Book with Dr Kate Carnall at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

Hello, Winchester! Let’s have a chat about something that might not be at the top of your to-do list, but really should be – your regular dental check-ups. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Do I really need to see the dentist if nothing hurts?” Well, grab a cuppa, and let’s dive into why popping into Solutions Dental Clinic for your check-ups is so important.
You’ve heard it before, right? This old saying is spot on when it comes to your teeth. Think of it this way – you wouldn’t wait for your car to break down before getting it serviced, would you? Your mouth deserves the same TLC.
Here’s the thing – many dental issues don’t cause pain until they’re quite advanced. By coming in for regular check-ups, we can spot potential problems before they turn into real headaches (or should I say, toothaches?). It’s like having a secret weapon against cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer.
Now, you might be wondering what we actually do during these check-ups. Let me give you the lowdown:
1. We’ll Have a Good Natter: First things first, we’ll catch up on any changes in your health or any concerns you might have.
2. The All-Important Clean: Our hygienist will give your teeth a proper clean, getting rid of any built-up plaque and tartar. Trust me, your teeth will feel amazing afterwards!
3. A Thorough Once-Over: We’ll check every nook and cranny of your mouth. We’re not just looking at your teeth, but your gums, tongue, and the inside of your cheeks too.
4. X-rays (If Needed): Sometimes, we might need to take a quick X-ray to check what’s happening beneath the surface.
5. Chat About Your Oral Hygiene: We’ll give you personalised advice on how to keep your teeth in tip-top shape between visits.
Living in our beautiful city of Winchester, we’ve got a lot to smile about. But did you know that your oral health is connected to your overall health? It’s true! Regular dental check-ups can help prevent or detect:
– Heart Disease: Some studies suggest a link between gum disease and heart problems.
– Diabetes: Gum disease can make it harder to control blood sugar levels.
– Oral Cancer: Early detection is key, and we always screen for signs during check-ups.
Now, here’s a question we get asked a lot. The answer? It depends. For most people, a check-up every six months does the trick. But if you’ve got specific concerns or conditions, we might recommend more frequent visits. It’s all about what’s best for your individual needs.
We know that for some people, a trip to the dentist can be a bit nerve-wracking. That’s why at Solutions Dental Clinic, we go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable. From our friendly receptionist Niamh greeting you with a smile, to our experienced team of dentists like Dr. Kate and Dr. Riz, we’re all about making your visit as pleasant as possible.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – cost. Some folks put off check-ups thinking they’re saving a few quid. But here’s the reality: preventing problems is almost always cheaper than fixing them. A small filling today could prevent a root canal tomorrow. It’s an investment in your future smile (and wallet!).
Winchester’s a town with history, and we want your teeth to have a long, happy history too! Here are some tips to keep your smile in check between visits:
1. Brush Up on Your Brushing: Twice a day, two minutes each time. It’s a small commitment for a big payoff.
2. Floss Like a Boss: Once a day keeps the plaque away.
3. Watch What You Eat: A balanced diet is good for your body and your teeth.
4. Stay Hydrated: Winchester’s tap water is great for keeping your mouth healthy.
So, there you have it – the lowdown on why those regular check-ups at Solutions Dental Clinic are so important. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and we want to help you keep it in top form.
Why not ring us on 01962 864 655 to book your next check-up? Whether it’s been 6 months or 6 years, we’d love to see you. Let’s work together to keep Winchester smiling!
Remember, a stitch in time saves nine, and a check-up saves your smile. We can’t wait to see you soon at Solutions Dental Clinic in the heart of Winchester.
Hello there, Winchester! Today, we’re going to have a chin-wag about something that affects nearly half of all adults in the UK – gum disease. Now, before you start thinking, “Oh, that’s not me,” let’s dive into what gum disease really is, how to spot it, and most importantly, how we at Solutions Dental Clinic can help you prevent and treat it.
Alright, let’s start with the basics. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It’s caused by plaque, that sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If you don’t remove this plaque regularly (and properly), it can lead to inflammation of your gums.
There are two main stages of gum disease:
1. Gingivitis: This is the early stage. Your gums might be red, swollen, and bleed easily when you brush or floss. The good news? It’s reversible!
2. Periodontitis: If gingivitis isn’t treated, it can progress to periodontitis. This is where things get serious – the gums pull away from the teeth, bone can be lost, and your teeth might even become loose.
Here’s the tricky bit – gum disease often develops without any pain. You might not even realise you have it until it’s quite advanced. That’s why those regular check-ups at Solutions Dental Clinic are so crucial. We can spot the early signs before you even notice them.
While anyone can develop gum disease, some factors can increase your risk:
– Poor oral hygiene (we’ll chat about how to improve this later)
– Smoking (another reason to quit, eh?)
– Diabetes
– Certain medications
– Genetics (thanks, Mum and Dad!)
– Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
– Stress (we know life in Winchester can be busy!)
Prevention is always better than cure, and when it comes to gum disease, it’s easier too! Here are some top tips to keep your gums healthy:
1. Brush Like You Mean It: Twice a day, for two minutes each time. Use a soft-bristled brush and don’t forget to brush your tongue!
2. Floss, Floss, Floss: Once a day, get between those teeth. It’s where a lot of plaque likes to hide.
3. Quit Smoking: We know it’s tough, but your gums (and the rest of your body) will thank you.
4. Eat a Balanced Diet: Plenty of vitamins and minerals help keep your gums healthy. Winchester’s local markets are great for fresh fruits and veggies!
5. Regular Check-ups: Pop in to see us at Solutions Dental Clinic every six months. We’ll keep an eye on your gum health and catch any issues early.
If you do develop gum disease, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Depending on the severity, treatment might include:
– Professional Cleaning: Our hygienist, Gauri, is a whiz at removing plaque and tartar.
– Scaling and Root Planing: A deep clean under the gum line to remove bacteria and smooth the tooth root.
– Medication: In some cases, we might prescribe antibiotic gels or tablets.
– Advanced Treatments: For severe cases, we might recommend more advanced treatments. Dr. Riz Syed, with his extensive experience, can guide you through these options.
Here’s something that might surprise you – gum disease isn’t just about your mouth. Research has shown links between gum disease and other health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. By taking care of your gums, you’re taking care of your whole body.
At Solutions Dental Clinic, we understand that everyone’s mouth is different. That’s why we tailor our approach to your individual needs. Whether you’re dealing with early-stage gingivitis or more advanced periodontitis, we’re here to help.
Our team, including Dr. Kate and Lee Butler, are passionate about helping Winchester residents achieve optimal oral health. We use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure you get the best possible care.
Remember, while we’re here to guide and treat you, the day-to-day care of your gums is in your hands. Think of it as a partnership – you do your bit at home, and we’ll support you with professional care and advice.
Whether you’re concerned about gum disease or just want to ensure you’re doing all you can to prevent it, we’re here for you. Why not book an appointment with us? Give us a ring on 01962 864 655, and let’s work together to keep your gums healthy and your smile bright.
Remember, healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. And a healthy mouth contributes to a healthier, happier you. So, Winchester, let’s show those gums some love!
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your great work, I really never thought I could have a smile like the one you have given me, unless of course I spent a lot more money than I have.
Having reached the end of my major implant treatment I must compliment you both, and your staff, on the excellent standards of patient care that you have provided.
Thank you for my new dentures, made and fitted with a minimum of appointments,
excellent service and attention, highly recommended, money and time well spent.
Firstly thank you so very much for my new dentures which will completely transform my life going forward. Having completely given up on dentist after many a bad experience it came to the point where I needed to find a solution as my teeth became loose and we're falling out, this coupled with being very very nervous led me on my search.
