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.

The effects of smoking on your health and well-being

March 25th, 2011

The negative effects (to put it lightly!) of smoking are common knowledge nowadays and recently passed laws, such as the smoking ban in public buildings, has attempted to reduce the risk of secondary smoke to non smokers. But what are the most common effects of smoking, and how many of them are permanent?

Cancer

Cancer is one of the first things most people think of on the subject of diseases caused by smoking. The list of cancers that smokers put themselves at risk of may be scarily longer than one would first thin, including lung, throat, stomach, bladder, kidney, mouth, cervix and pancreas cancer. Smokers are also much more likely to get cancer compared to non smokers too, up to seven times more likely according to some studies.

Secondary are also largely at risk from contracting some form of cancer from inhaling other people’s smoke and it is reported that 4,000 people were diagnosed with lung cancer caused by secondary smoking in the US alone.

Heart diseases

Multiple heart diseases are risked by smokers, and the chances of falling prey to a heart attack or a stroke are greatly increased by smoking. Heightened blood pressure and the hardening and thickening of artery walls – which decreases blood flow and can even cause blood clots, which are primary causes of heart attacks – are also problems linked to smoking.

The thickening of artery walls can wear off with time once you have given up smoking, and the likelihood of having a heart attack can be reduced with it. For the effects to fully wear off, it can however take a prolonged period of time, in some cases a number of years.

Lung diseases

The primary problem for the lungs to do with smoking is issues with breathing, shortness of breath and long coughing attacks which can be caused by the carbon monoxide in cigarettes. Luckily, the lungs are much more proficient at cleaning themselves than the heart and you may begin to feel a difference in breathing patterns and stamina within just a few days of your last cigarette.

Available help

With public awareness on the health issues of smoking so high, there are many places to turn for help with quitting including the NHS who do free Quit Smoking packs.

Let London City Dentists put the sparkle in your smile with teeth whitening

March 18th, 2011

Here’s a bright idea – learn more about teeth whitening at London City dentists.

Beige, cream, ivory…whilst all aesthetically pleasing shades, nothing beats the
colour of pearly white – especially when it comes to your teeth. But with so
many different treatment options available, it’s hard to know which method of
whitening is worth your money and your time.

Let’s face it, whilst you might have a perfect straight set of teeth there’s no nicer
appearance than that of an added sparkle. And with several celebrities opting
for instant whitening, it’s no wonder many of us are seeking out whiter smiles.

From do-it-yourself home kits to professional whitening treatment, the outcome
will vary dependant on their prices – so the more you pay, the more noticeable
the results. Before you make any impulse purchases, compare different products
and cosmetic dentists. Search out the most positive and recent reviews, get
as much information as possible and then you can deduce which treatment is
suitable for you. Factors such as comfort, time, professionalism, reputation
and whitening results are a must; as well as any other issues you feel would be
relevant when whitening.

The best thing about having professional treatment is that it can be custom made
to suit your preferences. Whether you want an ultra bright smile or maybe
a hint of whitening; it’s always good to speak to a professional regarding any
questions you may have in order to get the best possible treatment.

Dry socket treatment at your London City dentist

February 16th, 2011

When you sit down and really think about it, our teeth play a very important part in our lives.

Not only are they one of the first things people notice about us but they also determine a national stereotype in many people’s eyes. Take the Americans, for example. They are often quoted as being obsessed by an image that those living in Britain have an unsightly grin, with each and every tooth about as straight as a circle.

The amount of people receiving dental treatment not just in the UK is phenomenal but there are some occasions when the health of some people’s teeth is not quite up to scratch and is in fact very poor. This could be down to a number of dental problems which could include gingivitis, yellow teeth or even dry socket; the latter of which can prove to be incredibly painful.

Dry socket can occur after a tooth extraction. When a blood clot is removed from the area which has received surgery, this can expose the gum and many problems can materialise. When a socket causes pain due to the loss of blood which then exposes the open wound to the air, fluids among many things can cause a distasteful smell coming from the wound which is not pleasant for neither the person themselves or the people around them.

So what factors contribute towards this? Those who do not follow the professional medical advice given to them are prime examples of thus; those who smoke before they were meant to or applying pressure via the tongue are such instances of what can go wrong after what is already a painful and uncomfortable experience

If you are suffering from dry socket, you might be wondering to yourselves what is it that I can do to prevent dry socket happening to me? Staying away from cigarettes or other forms of smoking is a start, as is rinsing your mouth excessively but if you are seeking a form of treatment there are methods for this. By rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash and eating soft foods are just some of the ideas for treating dry socket but there is always your trusty dentist for further tips.

Bishopsgate London dentists produce amazing results using Enlighten tooth whitening

November 8th, 2010

Enlighten tooth whitening from Bishopsgate London dentists make incredible smiles

Over time teeth are likely to become dull or even stained.  This is as natural as the way the youthful sheen of your hair fades as you get older.  But you don’t have to put up with dull or stained teeth as whitening procedures can reverse the process and give you the brilliant smile that is so important in social occasions.  Enlighten tooth whitening is one of these methods to whiten your teeth and it produces stunning results

Most tooth whitening procedures cannot achieve the level of whitening that Enlighten can.  Dentists refer to the whitest possible shade of teeth as B1 and Enlighten can restore even the dullest, most stained teeth to that level.  It has recently been imported from the United States where the personalised whitening trays which allow maximum contact between whitening gel and teeth have ensured that it is very popular indeed.

As if a brace is being fitted, your dentist will take moulds of your teeth so that the trays can be fabricated with your unique mouth in mind.  The trays will have special Enlighten tooth whitening gel applied to them and then they are to be worn every night for the next fourteen.  After just two weeks the main treatment is concluded by a forty minute session at your dentist.  The makers of Enlighten recommend that the trays and gel are worn for one night out of every forty to maximise the effect and retain your newly sparkling teeth.

You don’t need to put up with discoloured teeth any longer.  Ask your Bishopsgate London dentist about how Enlighten tooth whitening can give you a long lasting and brilliant, white smile.
