Creating the Perfect Smile
Bloom & Gonsai Dental
We are a long established family practice with origins dating back to Portland Place over seventy years ago. The practice moved to Cavendish Square, being acquired by Barry Bloom in 1973 and was run according to his philosophy of conservative care using state of the art techniques. In 2007 Raj Gonsai joined the practice at the invitation of Mr Bloom to provide a more advanced approach toward modern treatment planning. In 2010 Raj succeeded Barry as Principal dentist at the practice and continues to work alongside Barry taking the practice forward.
Today the practice consists of a team of five leading dental practitioners, two well experienced hygienists and assisted by a set of support staff second to none. We are proud to offer a comprehensive set of treatments ranging from routine family care to full mouth rehabilitation using same day implant treatments.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sedation and why is it used in dentistry?
Sedation involves the use of a variety of drugs that relax the patient during a medical or dental procedure. It can vary in depth from very light sedation where the patient is tranquillised but fully aware of what is going on, right through to almost a general anaesthetic there the patient is unconscious.
In dentistry, CONSCIOUS SEDATION is used whereby the patient may be relaxed enough to drop off, but can easily be roused. Sedation does not control pain, but can alter the patient’s perception of it, and can often raise the pain threshold in those patients who find that local anaesthetics don’t always work.
A variety of drugs may be used singly or in combination, delivered either by mouth, nose or by injection. Pain control is carried out by local anaesthesia.
Some dentists use RELATIVE ANALGESIA, commonly known as gas and air, which has the advantage of being suitable for all ages and does not depend on the patient being in good health and wears off very quickly.
Is Sedation is safe?
Sedation is a very safe technique, provided it is carried out by a qualified and experienced person and all the necessary monitoring and resuscitation equipment is on hand.
Some patients experience amnesia for a few hours or sleepiness for a day or so afterwards. However all patients who have been sedated are advised not to drive for the rest of the day or to take any major life decisions, and should be given a number to contact for the first 24 hours afterwards in case of concerns.
For safety reasons full general anaesthesia may not now be carried out in the dental surgery.
Why Flossing of my teeth is so important?
Your teeth vary in shape and size depending on their position within your mouth. These differences allow the teeth to do many different jobs. Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They help us to talk, and to pronounce different sounds clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our face its shape. A healthy smile can be a great asset and because this is so important, it makes sense to give your teeth the best care possible.
What Cause Bad Breath?
Bad breath is a very common problem and there are many different causes. Persistent bad breath is usually caused by the smelly gases released by bacteria that coat your teeth and gums. However, strong foods like garlic and onions can add to the problem. Smoking is also one of the main causes of bad breath, along with certain illnesses such as nasal and stomach conditions. Bits of food that get caught between the teeth and on the tongue will rot and can sometimes cause an unpleasant smell. So correct and regular brushing is very important to keep your breath smelling fresh.
The bacteria on our teeth and gums (plaque) also cause gum disease and dental decay. If you see your dentist regularly this will not only help prevent bad breath but will also let the dentist look for and treat these problems.
What are Sealants?
Sealants are a safe and painless way or protecting your children’s teeth from decay. A sealant is a protective plastic coating, which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.
