Enlighten Laser Tooth Whitening

 

Often the difference between a good smile and a great smile is the whiteness of the teeth. The great news is that we have a professional 'laser' tooth whitening system that can bring back that bright white smile in an hour.

 

Stain removal

 

Teeth which are stained from food colourant or fom tea/ coffee/ wine or smoking look vey unattractive. These can be simply and easily cleaned by our hygienist and an appointment can be made to do this.

If the stain build up is very severe and has taken place over several years it may be necessary for 2 visits to the hygienist to get all the stain off the teeth.

If the stain is due to tooth discolouration built into the enamel then different procedures will be necessary to accomplish the removal or the cover up of the marks. These can be the result of antibiotics at the age when the tooth was developing or can be due to the disruption of tooth formation by a childhood illness. Whatever the cause we can solve the problem and make sure it looks at its best.

 

Modern Treatments

 

Keeping ahead with modern technology we can provide the latest in flexible dentures. These can be more comfortable, natural and are thinner and lightweight. As a result patients often have increased confidence when eating and smiling. If this is not enough, the denture is also guaranteed for 5 years against breakage!

 

Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene used to be thought of as quick brush round the teeth to remove life's stains.

Modern science has changed the way we perceive this and has altered the way hygiene is carried out.

It is now recognised as the most effective method of keeping a mouth healthy and retaining teeth for the longest time possible. For many of our younger patients this can mean keeping their teeth for life.

Regular hygiene visits are very important.   Book Today.

 

 

White Fillings

 

White Fillings have become so commonplace in modern dentistry that it they need little introduction as they have been in use on both front and back teeth for several years. They look so much better than silver amalgam which is the traditional filling material and we now know that they last for years.

There are some restrictions when used in back teeth which depend on the size and location of the filling. Ask the dentist about them when you need a filling.

 

Cosmetic Dentures

Cosmetic Dentures

 

Carefully made dentures can re-establish the facial contours which are lost when teeth are lost.

The lips and cheeks which tend to fall in leading to premature aging but with modern techniques this can be reversed leading to the restoration of youthful looks. With a photograph which shows the way your original teeth looked we can make dentures which will be similar so that you won't feel that it's a stranger looking back at you in the mirror.

 

American Flexi Dentures

 

In recent years the development of flexible unbreakable dentures has really improved the simplicity and comfort of Partial Dentures which replace a few missing teeth. The appearance is greatly enhanced because the detures are made much thinner and lighter than 'normal' acrylic dentures.

Ask your dentist about them when you arrange your appointment.

 

Facial Rejuvenation

 

Botox is here at Smiles By Design. We are pleased to offer new and exciting facial treatments. If you are looking to enhance your looks with a completely natural substance which achieves a visible, long lasting aesthetic result for fine lines and wrinkles- we have the treatments for you. Of course all our Dentists, Hygienists and Nurses are fully Qualified and registered at the General Dental Council.

 

 

Teeth Whitening

 

The modern technique of whitening teeth can now be carried out in about an hour. Get it done during your lunch hour break – return to the office with a really great smile.

 

Metal Free Crowns and Bridges

 

Modern all ceramic crowns and bridges remove the necessity for a precious metal understructure to your crown or bridge whch improves the tranlucency of the restoration and brings it very close the that of natural tooth. This gives superior aesthetics which removes that slightly 'dead' look which crowns and bridges sometime suffer from. Ask about them when you need a crown or bridge.

 

 

Bridges

 

A small denture replacing a missing tooth can be quite embarrassing especially if it moves. But a missing tooth can ruin a lovely smile. Now a permanently fixed alternative in the form of a bridge can be fitted which is secure and indistinguishable from the natural thing.

 

 

Veneers

 

Thin layers of porcelain covering your teeth can improve the shape, colour and alignment of your teeth.  Make your smile into a winning smile.

 

 

Invisible Braces to Straighten your Teeth

 

Your teeth can be straightened with an ‘Invisible’ Brace whatever your age. Invisible braces are the most modern, proven orthodontic treatments that allow you to achieve the smile you always wanted.

 

Smile Makeovers

 

Smile makeovers have been shown on TV but they are not the preserve of Footballers' Wives or film stars they are now available to all. There is quite a lot of careful analysis and planning needed to ensure that you get the result you want but once the treatment is done the changes in your smile should make you want to smile all day. Speak to our reception staff to get a consultation.

 

 

Dental implants

 

Dental Implants provide the modern, proven solution to replacing missing teeth in order to provide fixed teeth with either crowns or bridges. Afterwards the teeth should look and behave like natural teeth.
