With the days getting longer and the weather slowly starting to improve, it is the time of year that our calendars start to fill with a range of events.

To ensure that your smile is looking picture perfect and ready for whatever the summer may bring, a smile makeover may be the treatment for you. The dentist will complete a detailed assessment of your mouth and will come up with a treatment plan. This may involve replacing old restorations with new crowns, dental implants, bridges, veneers, teeth straightening and teeth whitening to help younger and brighter smile.

Oral Hygiene

Prior to undergoing extensive dental treatment, it is necessary to ensure that you have a good oral hygiene routine in place to ensure that your teeth remain in tip top condition following treatment.

It is important that you brush your teeth twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste and use interdental cleaning aids daily. This could be floss, tape, interdental brushes or woodsticks.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten the natural colour of your teeth. Teeth whitening can help to improve staining caused by food, drink, smoking, medications and the general ageing process.

The dentist will take an impression of your teeth to allow custom made whitening trays to be created. You will then be given gel to put into the trays whilst you are at home. This allows you to tailor treatment to fit your lifestyle. The dentist will also be able to offer different gel strengths depending on your lifestyle and the timescale available.

Dental Implants

Dental implants can be used to help improve your smile, filling one or more gaps caused by missing teeth. Dental implants are currently the closest possible restoration to your natural teeth and if cared for properly they should last for at least 10 years.

Crowns, bridges and veneers

It is possible for the dentist to use crowns, bridges and veneers to fill gaps and improve the appearance of your teeth. This can be very effective in cases where teeth straightening would be ineffective. Crowns, bridges and veneers are also resistant to discolouration and staining, meaning they can help you to maintain your white smile for years to come.

Teeth Straightening

Teeth straightening treatments can improve the appearance and health of your teeth and with an increase in the treatments available it is possible to get great results fast, tailored to fit your lifestyle with a large range of removable and invisible appliances.

Facial Aesthetics

Facial aesthetics can be used to give you a more useful and younger looking smile. Wrinkle reduction techniques and facial fillers can be used to smooth facial lines, improving the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, neck lines and other sins of ageing. The treatment is completely safe and can knock years off your smile.
