Celebrate New Year’s Eve with a perfect smile from City of London dentists

December 25th, 2011

New Year’s Eve usually involves glamorous partying and just a bit of glitz. A perfect accompaniment to a dazzlingly evening is a dazzlingly smile, so why not add some razz-a-ma-tazz to your smile for this New Year’s with a smile makeover.

A smile makeover may involve dental, cosmetic and facial rejuvenation procedures and will vary from person to person depending upon their needs and expectations. While some might want their smile to match Hollywood standards using pearly white porcelain veneers, others may just want little improvements using teeth whitening and braces.

Following are a few ways to improve your smile with a smile makeover:

Crooked teeth

There are many who are dissatisfied with their smile due to crooked teeth. This can be easily fixed using conventional orthodontics or clear braces. If you are looking for a faster solution, then you can also use porcelain veneers.

Broken or chipped teeth

Some people have their teeth broken or chipped due to accidents. This can be fixed with porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding, depending on the extent of damage.

Missing teeth

Many have their smile spoiled due to missing teeth and, in some cases, due to gaps between the teeth, which could also cause functional problems. Dental implants, dentures or dental bridges can be used to make your smile glamorous again.  The gaps can be filled with the help of porcelain veneers, including da Vinci veneers or Lumineers. Orthodontics can also be used to close tooth gaps. Other options that can be used are the Inman aligner, Invisalign invisible braces, lingual braces, fixed orthodontics and Damon braces.

Gummy Smile

A smile that reveals too much of the gums can severely spoil your facial looks. There are many who hide their smile due to this reason. This can be easily fixed by laser gum contouring or surgical procedures.

Stained teeth

Teeth can be stained due to regular use of tobacco. Cola, tea and coffee can also cause stained teeth, which can severely damage the look of your smile. Laser teeth whitening and other professional teeth whitening techniques can be used to remove the stains from your teeth. A smile with perfect white teeth can surely add to your confidence and make you very attractive.

What can you do to straighten crooked teeth With the help of City of London dentists?

November 20th, 2011

Have you ever visited your dentist to find out that you need corrective surgery for the proper alignment of your teeth and the contour of your face? Did you know that these features are some of the first things that people recognize and remember about you when they meet you? Your face can show expression, your personality, as well as your genetic traits, so when you suffer from crooked teeth, or if you have an overbite or underbite, you may need to see your dentist to have them corrected.

People who suffer from crooked teeth may also acquire difficulties with eating, including sensitivity and discomfort when chewing or biting their food. Depending on the severity of the condition, some may even struggle with speech difficulties, including a lisp and the inability to speak certain words. After your dentist X-rays your teeth, they can tell you what your options are. The use of braces and veneers are also highly recommended to correct these orthodontic conditions.

Braces are the most common technique for correcting teeth, which can include overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth. There are many types of braces that can be measured and applied to the mouth. Some are clear, while others are metallic and the style you choose will depend on your preferences, your needs and your budget or insurance plans.

Veneers are one of the quickest ways to fix your teeth, which makes the procedure one of the most desirable cosmetic dental treatments. After your dentist X-rays your mouth and creates a plan for you, they can then apply the porcelain or resin veneers for swift, effective orthodontic correction. As for choosing which is best for you, this will depend on the facts of your dental condition and what options your Dentist has given you. Nevertheless, whatever you choose can greatly impact your orthodontic health and cosmetic appearance.

Smile with porcelain veneers at London City dentists

February 11th, 2011

Transform your teeth with the dentists of London City today

Having straight teeth isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, it’s also pleasingly healthy.  Crooked teeth can be more difficult to keep clean, as well as be a key factor for tooth decay and other dental problems; but with straight teeth it is more difficult for food particles to get caught – meaning that gum and teeth problems are easily prevented.  Other advantages to a straight smile include better speech – enabling many to speak clearer as opposed to those with crooked teeth.

One of the most popular and effective ways to achieving straight teeth comes in the form of porcelain veneers.  Designed to suit the shape of your teeth as well as being tailored to your preferred shade of whiteness, the ease of this treatment couldn’t be simpler.  The veneers are thinly moulded sheets of porcelain applied along the front of the teeth, covering up any gaps or crookedness to give the impression of perfectly straight teeth.  The procedure usually involves at least three sessions including preparation for the moulding, but some dentists may carry out a “no-preparation” technique, where the teeth won’t be filed prior to moulding.  When having the consultation your dentist will talk to you throughout the whole process, giving you the chance to explore alternative options or additional treatment as well as advice you on aftercare.

Porcelain veneers can last for several years, and have been known to last even twenty years and more.  As long as proper care is maintained your veneers will maintain a healthy and durable existence, and always remember to visit your dentist every six months so they can check for any problems as well as monitor how well the veneers are keeping.

Bishopsgate London dentists correct multiple teeth issues with braces

December 3rd, 2010

Braces available from Bishopsgate London dentists correct problems with teeth

Feeling confident about your appearance is vital if you want to thrive in social occasions.  The first thing that most people will see when they meet you for the first time is your smile so it is really important that you feel able to smile with confidence in such situations.  Having crooked or misaligned teeth can stop you from feeling this confidence which so many people take for granted.  You needn’t despair about these problems, instead ask your Bishopsgate London dentist about how braces can work with your mouth to solve them.

Braces can be fitted at any age, not just during childhood.  Of course childhood is an especially good time for braces because the teeth are still developing but adults should not believe that the option of braces is not open to them.  Braces are incredibly versatile and the length of treatment will depend on what problem you are solving.  Sometimes braces need to be worn for as long as three years but treatment might only last six weeks.

It will be necessary for your dentist to take moulds and impressions of your teeth so that a brace can be constructed to fit your unique mouth.  Using dental etchant will guarantee extra strength to the bond between the metal bracket and your teeth.  A wire is threaded through the brackets and it is this that will be tightened by your dentist in order to move your teeth into the positions required.

Once your dentist is satisfied that the treatment has been successful, the braces can be removed and retainers will be worn to ensure that there is no relapse and your teeth and jaw remain in the desired positions.  Modern braces are diverse and the options available to patients include invisible braces and gold plated ones.

November 15th, 2010

Liverpool Street London dentists achieve straightened teeth with invisible braces from Invisalign

Particularly young people have found that traditional metal braces can severely hamper their confidence during years which are already socially awkward.  They can be difficult to clean, are non-removable and can affect the speech of the wearer.  Invisalign braces are different and offer patients with crooked teeth the chance to have a perfect smile by wearing a product that is virtually invisible.

Invisalign braces are made from clear material which has led to them being dubbed ‘the invisible brace’ or ‘the see through brace’.  Dentists use cutting edge computer technology and 3D images from digital x-rays to quickly and efficiently construct Invisalign braces which are tailored to the exact shape of your mouth.

You will need to wear your Invisalign brace for twenty two hours every day so that your teeth can be adequately adjusted but Invisalign braces are completely removable.  No longer will you have to struggle to clean your metal brace with its wires and brackets.  There is no tightening of wires involved, your dentist will simply provide you with new Invisalign braces as and when your need them to continue the adjustment of your teeth.

All of which means that Invisalign braces are much more comfortable than traditional braces, an added bonus to compliment that fact that they are all but invisible.  If your Liverpool Street London dentist is certified with Invisalign, you will be able to receive a free consultation to ascertain if the treatment is right for you.

Straighten your teeth quickly and effectively with Inman aligners from London dentists

November 12th, 2010

London dentists straighten teeth accurately with Inman aligners

You can now have your teeth straightened in a matter of weeks.  No longer do you need to wait many months or even years to have straight teeth, all the while wearing an unsightly set of metal braces.  The Inman aligner corrects crooked teeth quickly and has only a small bar across the front teeth that is visible.  Contact your London dentist to see how Inman can give you a perfect smile quickly and discreetly.

The average time you will have to wear an Inman aligner is less than six months and treatment can be completed in only six weeks.  It is totally removable, which makes eating and drinking so much easier.  Traditional metal braces can be difficult to clean and make social occasions difficult, especially if you are a young person.  Inman aligners are extremely discreet but can be taken for a special social occasion if it will benefit your confidence to do so.

Inman aligners are unable to rotate teeth but they are ideal for small alignment issues.  Inman aligners use the power of a coiled spring on the inside of your teeth.  The spring pushes out the lateral teeth against the straightening bar at the front of the mouth, the only visible part of the Inman when you smile.

Despite the incredible speed offered by Inman aligners, they cost roughly the same as other orthodontic treatments.  They represent a huge improvement on the traditional brace with their metal brackets and wires which had to be worn sometimes for years.

Liverpool Street London dentists achieve stunning results with braces

October 1st, 2010

Teeth straightened by braces from Liverpool Street London dentists

Having crooked or misaligned teeth can be damaging to your confidence and stop you from showing off your smile.  Your teeth might have been misaligned or crooked from birth or because of thumb-sucking or an accident.  These problems are easily solved by using braces which work with your teeth to correct misalignments with your bite and give you the perfect smile.

A common misconception is that braces must be fitted during childhood.  It is the optimum time for braces as children’s teeth are still developing and can be shaped easily but braces are fine for adults too.  The length of treatment time with braces varies.  You might only need to wear them for six weeks but some people require them for as much as three years.  This is because braces can solve different problems such as widening your palate or jaw or giving you more space between your teeth.

Your dentist will take moulds and x-rays of your teeth in order for the brace to fit perfectly with your mouth and correct whichever problem you have.  Brackets are attached to the teeth, using an etchant for adhesive strength.  A wire is threaded through the brackets and it is this that is used to adjust your teeth’s position at regular dental appointments.  Retainers are worn after the treatment is complete to make sure that your teeth and jaw don’t relapse into their former problematic positions.

Contact your Liverpool Street London dentist today to ask about the wide array of braces which are on offer such as invisible braces and even gold plated ones.  Whatever your braces look like, it is important to treat crooked teeth or a misaligned bite as it lessens the chances of having oral hygiene problems and will improve the look of your smile.
