A Smile Makeover Reminder

2021 April 15
by admin

You don’t have to settle for a smile you aren’t happy with!

As we gradually ease out of lockdown (hopefully for the final time), it seems like a good time to remind you of some of the cosmetic dental procedures that we have available for our Ashby, Swadlincote and Burton patients. With the warmer weather in the coming months and the ability to socialise more, now could be a good time to consider ways of boosting your smile.

This especially applies, although not exclusively, to those of you seeking to meet a new partner. Many studies have shown that the first thing that most people notice and are attracted to on the initial meeting is your smile. The chances are then, that you are more likely to find love if you have an attractive and white smile than one that is dull and discoloured and possibly crooked too.

Below, we offer a brief description of the benefits of some of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that we have available at Alexandra Dental Care.

Teeth whitening – This is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments that we offer. It is fast acting and affordable and can make a significant difference to how your teeth look when you smile. Our straightforward treatment means that you can whiten your teeth by several shades in just a short period of time.

Teeth straightening – Some instances of crooked teeth require lengthy treatment of a year or more to correct them. This isn’t always the case though where minor corrections are needed. With modern orthodontics such as Invisalign, Six Month Smiles or Inman Aligner, your crooked teeth can be straightened in a relatively short time.

White fillings – Our local patients who have fillings made from amalgam, the dark material that is widely used to fill a tooth, can now take advantage of modern white fillings instead. These are made to match the natural colour of your teeth and can replace the amalgam fillings that you already have through the amalgam removal service that we provide.

Dental veneers – A more permanent treatment than basic whitening that is growing in popularity. The veneers usually replace the surface enamel of teeth and are largely used where staining or discolouration is very significant or where cracks and chips are present. Whilst, with teeth whitening, this has to be repeated at intervals to maintain the whiteness, veneers should maintain a consistent colour for around ten years providing that you look after them as instructed.

Dental implants – Although these don’t ‘improve’ teeth but instead replace them, they are an excellent option for anyone who currently has a denture or even a gap in their teeth. Teeth implants offer a long term solution and, once placed, both look and feel like a natural tooth does.

Facial aesthetics – At Alexandra Dental Care, we also offer a facial aesthetics service to help to reduce any ageing lines and wrinkles that you may have developed. This is a straightforward procedure and you will be in excellent hands with our skilled and experienced team.

These are just a few of the treatments that we can offer our patients in addition to more routine, but important, dental care. Maintaining good oral health is very important but it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t want to have nice looking teeth as well as healthy ones. These cosmetic enhancements will help you to do just that and help you feel more confident when pubs, clubs and restaurants are finally fully open again.

If you would like to know more about any of these treatments or have a general oral health question for us, we can be contacted either via the contact form (on our contact page) or simply calling the practice on 01283 216347.
