The term cosmetic tends to conjure up the idea that these procedures are for aesthetic purposes only. This could not be further from the truth, cosmetic treatments Harley Street are far more important than merely to enhance your looks. A number of different procedures are undertaken to correct various dental problems. Teeth that are crooked, chipped, gapped and have become discoloured are some such problems. An overbite or underbite can inhibit your ability to chew your food correctly which can result in gastric problems developing.
Our teeth affect our physical and mental wellbeing
Harley Street Dental Clinic has invested in providing our patients with the best treatments available, through our regular staff training to keep up to date with procedures and with the latest equipment. Our mouths allow us to eat and drink, and our teeth, gums and jaw ensure that we masticate our food in such a way that our body can digest that food. Harmful bacteria caused by teeth and gums that have not been properly maintained can lead to serious lung and heart problems. Cosmetic treatments Harley Street aim to correct any dental problems and also enhance your smile and consequently your self-confidence and mental wellness.
What treatments are available?
We believe that our cosmetic treatments Harley Street offer a very wide range of dental procedures, some more complex than others. There has been such amazing progress in dental implant procedures that we believe that it is the better alternative to replace missing teeth. The whole concept of implanting a post into the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root allows for a stable tooth replacement. This procedure can now be done to replace one tooth or a number of teeth utilising just one implant. By using just four implants we can now replace an entire mouthful of teeth.
For misaligned teeth, technology has provided us with more modern and comfortable appliances. The traditional dental brace has been remodelled and is now a more effective and comfortable way to straighten teeth. In addition the introduction of dental aligners which fit over the teeth like a gumshield and are made from a clear dental material have attracted adults who previously would not wear a traditional brace. These aligners are produced in a series, each with a slightly different orientation, which very gradually moves your teeth into alignment. The procedure takes around ten to twelve months, but we are able to show you how your teeth will look even before we commence the treatment. Full mouth rehabilitation, crowns and bridges are also treatments that can benefit both your dental and cosmetic requirements.
A healthy smile
Teeth whitening is undertaken by many patients using over-the-counter solutions, but we believe that having your teeth whitened at our dental practice is far safer and more effective. Teeth discolouration comes in a variety of forms and can be an indication of something more serious. Our dentists and hygienists are trained to identify problems that may manifest at a later stage and one of the signs of possible problems is the type of tooth discolouration you want removed. Certain spots can indicate coeliac disease, fluorosis is identified by the lacy markings left on the enamel. We would like to help you stay healthy by attending regular six monthly check-ups and by allowing us to do your teeth whitening, we are confident that we can fulfil this responsibility.
