Looking after our teeth is an extremely important part of our daily lives. Keeping our teeth looking and feeling great can have effects on our confidence levels which, in turn, has an effect on our social lives, love lives and even our careers.
Having a warm and welcoming smile can make all the difference in that important business meeting.
The daily upkeep of our teeth is up to us, but we do also need the help of a dentist to lend an experienced eye to our oral health. Here at Harley Street Dental Clinic, we provide a complete dental service, from providing regular check-ups to cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening.
Our regular check-ups
Our routine check-ups are carried out by experienced dentists who can spot any irregularities of problems before they develop into more serious issues. Check-ups are usually carried out every six months, but some patients may need to visit more regularly to keep on top of their oral health.
The frequency of visits depends on a few different factors like if you smoke and your dental history. Your dentist at our W1 dental clinic can advise you on exactly how often you should visit.
Check-ups involve a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth. Sometimes you may need x-rays to be taken to assess your oral health. Advice will also be given on looking after your teeth and gums. If any problems are found, we can book you in for treatments like fillings or root canals before the problems get any worse.
White fillings
Many people who need to have a filling might not want the metallic appearance of traditional amalgam fillings.
Here at the dental clinic in W1, we offer tooth-coloured fillings that can protect you from tooth decay but don’t have the same metallic appearance. You can also have old metal fillings replaced by white ones to restore the natural look to your filled teeth.
There are many other treatments available that serve to improve the appearance of your natural teeth including a range of teeth straightening treatments and even solutions to tackle ‘gummy smiles’. These treatments can you the confidence you deserve.
