Be a Beauty, not a Beast

When you watch a movie, have you ever noticed how the heroines and heroes all have wonderful white straight teeth in a harmonious smile that gleams? And the bad guys have snarly tangled yellowy-grey teeth? It’s an easy trick but it holds some truth. We are hardwired to be repulsed by anything that may harbour disease, and so it’s no wonder that most of us find dodgy teeth off-putting.

If you are back on the dating scene after some years absence, you might want to come visit your Harley Street cosmetic dentist to find out how we can make sure you’re a Beauty and not a Beast when it comes to kissability.

Cosmetic Dentist in Harley StreetAt Harley Street Dental Clinic, we have experienced cosmetic dentists. Take the wonderful Dr Abel Moreira. He graduated in Portugal in 2006 and has been with us as a cosmetic dentist in Harley Street since 2007.

Treatments tailored to your needs

When you come to see Dr Moreira as your cosmetic dentist in Harley Street, he will be able to advise you on what treatment, or combination of treatments, would be best to bring out the beauty of your smile.

Tooth whitening is often on the list. Our teeth get stained by what we eat and drink, and they lose their gleam and become yellower as years of brushing wears away the white enamel to show the yellow dentin below. Teeth whitening can be done on-site in around an hour.

If you need some work to cover up chips, cracks, worn edges and so on, and are going to have veneers or cosmetic bonding, it is best to leave the whitening until afterwards. The material used in bonding and veneers cannot be whitened, so the way to go is to colour-match to a few shades whiter than your teeth now are, and then get them whitened once the veneers or bonding are in place.

Gum contouring is used if you show too much gum when you smile. We use a laser to cut away excess gum tissue. It seals as it cuts, so there is very little blood and your gums will heal in just a few days.
