Cosmetic Dentistry for the Perfect Smile

If you are looking to improve your smile you will need cosmetic dentistry in Holborn. The good news is that there are plenty of solutions to the problem of creating the perfect smile and that includes things like teeth straightening, veneers, replacing missing teeth with dental implants, tooth re-shaping and bonding, and so on.

Cosmetic dentistry in Holborn includes using either veneers or braces to achieve that perfectly aligned look when you smile. Dental veneers are a type of cosmetic dentistry and they work by covering up crooked teeth with porcelain facades, or overlays. They will give you the perfect smile, but there is one disadvantage in that your cosmetic dentist will need to remove some of your tooth to ensure that the veneers look natural and fit well, and the process cannot be reversed. It is also likely that at some point you will need replacement veneers, as they probably won't last forever, and also over the years your gums will recede which creates a gap between your veneer and your gum line. 


You could also use braces to straighten your teeth, and it is true that this can take several months, but there is less damage to your teeth, and the results are lasting. If you are worried about wearing braces, there are now lots of discreet types such as Invisalign which, as the name suggests, are virtually invisible. 

Teeth whitening is another form of cosmetic dentistry in Holborn and there are two ways to do this. You can either visit your dentist and he or she can apply a whitening gel to your teeth while you just sit back in the chair and relax. He may also use a LED light to speed up the process.

Alternatively, you can have a whitening kit to use at home overnight. This consists of specially formulated trays to fit your teeth, and some whitening gel. Your dentist will give you instructions, but basically you just put the gel in the trays and wear them overnight until you reach a shade with which you are happy. You should know that it is now illegal for anyone other than a qualified dentist to provide teeth whitening.

When It Comes To Oral Health, Prevention Is Better Then Cure

Image
The old saying "prevention is better than cure" applies very much to dentistry, and most dentists prefer to prevent problems occurring rather than have to treat them at a later date.  Ideally, you should get your children to the dentist early in their lives and make a regular visit every six months. This way, children will become used to going to the dentist and not be afraid of it. The dentist will be able to check for any signs of decay early on and can also provide applications of fluoride and tooth coloured fissure sealants to the biting surfaces of children's teeth in order to prevent decay. Dental hygiene is, of course, vital for everyone and everyone should brush and floss their teeth twice a day. However, preventive dentistry in Shoreditch is also assisted by a regular visit to the dental hygienist. The hygienist will check your oral health and give your teeth a professional scale and polish which will go a long way to preventing gum dise...

Some of the Severe Risks Associated With Poor Dental Hygiene

Image
Dental hygiene is critical, and not just for the purpose that many people believe, which is solely to avoid gum disease, tooth decay, cavities, and the loss of a bright smile. There is actually some evidence that poor dental hygiene could lead to life-threatening disease. This is why you should regularly have a check-up with a dentist in Bristol . The mouth is full of many different types of bacteria and micro-organisms, some of which are actually beneficial, but if you don't keep your teeth and gums healthy with regular cleaning and flossing, the unwanted bacteria could multiply. This could cause some serious problems, as these bacteria build-ups release toxins into the body which can get carried around through the blood stream. There are some significant links between gum disease, and heart disease, diabetes, low birth-weight of babies, and even Alzheimer's.    Certainly, there is a proven link between gum disease and diabetes. If you are suffering...

Preventative dentistry starts with regular check-ups

Image
Healthy mouths chew more easily, are less prone to sensitivity and are less likely to need fillings in the future. Good oral hygiene always starts at home, but preventative dentistry at the clinic is just as important. Regular check-ups with your dentist are necessary for good oral health. We recommend you visit your dentist every 6 to 12 months. Regular check-ups help spot the earliest signs of tooth decay and gum disease, allowing these problems to be sorted before they escalate into anything serious. Your dentist can also help you understand how to take care of your teeth. This can differ between patients, making personalised advice invaluable. Patients who don’t attend regular check-ups only tend to visit their dentist when they experience dental pain or sensitivity. It’s important to say that while some dental problems can’t be prevented, many can (such as gum disease and tooth decay). Read More Visit - preventative dentistry
