A Beautiful White Smile Is An Asset That Everyone Desires

March 19, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Most people do not realise that their smiles are predominantly the first thing that a new person and close friends for that matter notice about them. Your smile says a lot about you when you first meet someone, and nobody wants it to be a bad first impression, they want it to make a bold statement, a positive sense, a marketing tool of who they are, and with some people this simply just can’t be done because of the way their teeth look.

Discolouring of the teeth can be caused by eating sugary foods, drinking sweet drinks, smoking, or just a general lack of hygiene when it comes to brushing and cleaning their teeth. All or even just one of these factors can leave your teeth looking tired and worn, and does not look pleasing for other people to see; now this can all be rectified through the process of teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening can either be a process undertaken in the dental practice or in the comfort of your own home, whichever you prefer you will be pleased with the final results. In surgery whitening is where you have a gel like solution placed onto your teeth and a light reacts with the gel to whiten your teeth, this process is repeated 3 times every 20 minutes, so you can see the results in just over an hour.

At home teeth whitening are where custom trays are mapped out of your mouth structure and made at a lab. You will then have to place a solution into the trays at night, which you will wear for a time period set by your dentist, and you will start to see the effects working gradually over this period of time.

A beautiful vibrant smile is an asset that everyone desires, so at your next dental appointment, why not ask how bright and white your smile could be.

What is the Procedure for Porcelain Veneers?

August 23, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Porcelain veneers are essentially the most popular type of veneer, offering a stronger and more durable alternative to their counterparts and also provide a characteristically natural and translucent appearance.

The procedure for obtaining dental porcelain veneers is simply a relatively simple one, and one which we can offer to provide you with, in the greatest degree of care and comfort.

The consultation and examination is the first step so that we can accurately assess your needs and concerns. At this stage we have the opportunity to also explain the procedure, costs of porcelain veneers and treatment.

Once initial assessment is complete, the teeth in question are prepared with the surface area reshaped to accommodate the cosmetic porcelain veneers. A tiny part of the teeth’s surface is then shaved off. During this part of the procedure your teeth and gums will be numb using a local anaesthetic so you don’t feel anything.

Next a mould of your teeth is taken, using special dental putty that is placed on a tray and positioned against your teeth to take an imprint of your existing dental structure. This mould is then sent to a dental laboratory to be used to cast an accurate model of your teeth. The mould is used as a guide to fabricate your veneers and this process can take up to three weeks.

We may fit you with some temporary veneers to protect your teeth depending on the individual need during this period.
We will then fit your new veneers to your teeth, testing the look, we may need to trim or adjust the veneers. Your teeth will then be thoroughly cleaned and the front surface will be roughened for the dental gel to cement to.

The veneers are then cemented into place. A special curing light is used to activate the dental cement to permanently bond the veneers to your teeth. Any excess cement is then trimmed away leaving a polished and beautiful smile.

Porcelain veneers cost is relative to their effect and will usually last to up to ten years and more, but to maximise the longevity of your both your veneers and teeth, regular oral hygiene should be maintained and standard dental checkups with us included in your routine.

Are the effects of tooth loss preventing you from having a perfect smile? In today’s society our confidence is held in such great esteem, though numerous people find it challenging to maintain a healthy level of confidence when they are suffering from the negative impacts of missing teeth. Not only is tooth loss the primary cause in lack of self-confidence, but it is debilitating by inhibiting the proper function of eating, drinking and talking.

 
Missing teeth can have a number of negative effects on your oral health and over all wellbeing. Most concerning is when teeth are missing from the jaw, the surrounding bone begins to shrink and eventually your jawbone will recede.

 
Luckily dental implants procedures provide a means of replacing lost or damaged teeth and combat the negative effects it can have on both your confidence and health.

 
Regardless of the nature of the problem related with tooth loss, dental implant treatment can provide a simple solution with proven results. Although there are a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functional and highly effective as dental implants.

 
Dental implants are placed on artificial tooth roots in the jawbone and take the place of your missing tooth root. Dental implants are custom made to suit the individual’s particular oral situation, offering mini dental implant and full dental implants for compatibility. They are designed to replicate and feel completely natural, whilst being fully functional and preventing further tooth decay or trauma to the mouth. Titanium dental implants and biocompatible materials offer durability and strength for long lasing functionality.

 
Dental implant treatment is a permanent solution to missing teeth, offering full restoration of a radiant smile. The durability and the strength of the dental implant will mean that you have long lasting effects and once again eat and speak with comfort.
