It used to be that cosmetic treatments were only for the rich and famous, but now it’s become more common for someone to walk in off the street for a little touch up. In the field of dentistry there are plenty of treatments at your disposal now to help give your teeth that Hollywood look.
We’ve highlighted a few things you can try to give your smile a boost.
Invisalign braces
Crooked teeth can become a thing of the past thanks to these high-tech see through braces. Created using sophisticated imaging technology that maps out the topography of your teeth to produce a customised brace, this will then place a small amount of pressure on your teeth to straighten them up.
The mouthguards can be easily cleaned with aligner cleaning solution and you can remove them whenever you want to. Although, try to wear them for at least 22 hours a day otherwise you could negatively impact the realignment process. If you do plan on removing them then try to keep them in a hard bodied container, this will keep them sterile and safe from accidental damage.
Dental implants
Another treatment worth a mention to our cosmetic dentist in Harley Street is dental implantation. This involves the insertion of a fake tooth, usually comprised of porcelain, into your gum line to fill out your smile and give you a more natural looking set of teeth. The prosthetic is fitted with a sterile titanium screw to your jawbone and over time the bone heals over the screw again to create a stable and permanent fixture for the tooth to bond to.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, our team will ensure your implant is fitted securely, quickly and with the least amount of discomfort possible to give you that winning smile you deserve.
Gum lift
When we say we can fix up your entire mouth we mean it, as even your gums can get a little lift. This treatment involves re-sculpting your gums to give a better proportioned smile and reduce the appearance of a ‘gummy smile’ that can plague some patients.
Our cosmetic dentist in Harley Street will usually use a laser to painlessly reshape your gum line, although depending on the circumstances, there may be a small amount of bone removal through dental surgery involved. But your dentist will usually explain what’s going to happen first beforehand.
White spot removal
A minimally invasive treatment, this helps to reduce white spot lesions that can appear on your teeth. These are normally formed when there’s an imbalance in the protective enamel layer of your teeth which then causes the white spots to appear. This tends to be brought on from poor hygiene, plaque, bacterial build-up and from general damage caused by acids in the mouth.
This is just a highlight of some of the cosmetic options we have available for you. If you’re looking to improve your smile or are curious about what we can do to give your mouth a makeover then check with your dentist on your next appointment.
