Four ways your dentist can help you improve your smile

Even people who visit our dental practice regularly during the year for check-ups are sometimes unaware of the treatments that are available to them when it comes to improving their smile, or the general appearance of their teeth. Your dentist in W1 can listen to the problems and insecurities that you have about your smile at a consultation appointment, and from here they will be able to create a treatment plan that addresses your individual needs.

If you have an uneven smile and wish to straighten your teeth then there are several options available that your dentist in W1 can talk you through. It is important to find the right type of brace to suit your lifestyle as well as your teeth, to leave you feeling confident throughout your treatment. At Harley Street Dental Practice we have discreet treatments available such as Invisalign aligners and lingual braces. Discreet straightening treatments are becoming increasingly popular amongst adults who feel too old for braces, as they enable them to straighten their teeth subtly without others being able to notice their appliance easily.

Restore missing teeth

Sometimes teeth can fall out due to tooth decay, whilst at other times it can be a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and being involved in an accident that results in the loss of one or more teeth. Either way, here at Harley Street Dental Clinic we are never happy until a patient leaves our practice smiling proudly, with a full set of teeth.

There is more than one way to replace your missing teeth. To find out which option is the most suitable for you it is recommended that you book a consultation appointment, so that one of our dental professionals can assess the condition of your mouth. At our practice you can benefit from bridges and dentures, as well as dental implants.

Repair or mask damaged teeth

Adult teeth often become chipped or damaged over time and can make people feel insecure about smiling in front of other people or joining in with things like group photographs. At Harley Street Dental Clinic we have an array of treatments to help rebuild your confidence as well as your smile.

Porcelain veneers are an effective and popular way of hiding any chips that you have in your smile. Whilst they do not get rid of the chips themselves, they completely disguise them from view and can make your other teeth appear more even by lengthening or widening the appearance of the surfaces of your teeth. Veneers attach to your teeth and are tooth coloured, so they look completely natural.

Stay on top of stains

It is common to develop stains on the surfaces of your teeth as you get older. Your dentist in W1 can help you whiten your smile by several shades, but results may vary between patients as no two sets of teeth are the same shade. Discolouration can occur for all sorts of reasons, including lifestyle habits such as drinking alcohol and tea, smoking or having a bad brushing routine.

When you have your teeth whitened you will have a choice as to whether you have the process carried out in our practice by one of our professionals, or at home where you are in charge of your treatment. For the most impressive results it is recommended that you have a combination of both types of treatments.
