Dental practice Paragon
Dental is located in the heart of
Radlett on Watling Street and is a short
walk away from the train station. The dental practice offers a warm and
friendly yet professional atmosphere. The moment you walk through the door, you feel like you are in safe hands.
The two main General Dental Practitioners are Elkhan L Kohn
and Andrew Flatters. They offer both general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry
treatments. Karen Ryan is the Dental Hygienist. She offers hygiene
appointments, which are designed to not only clean, scale and polish your teeth
but educate the patient in to how to look after their teeth at home to continue
practicing good oral hygiene habits in between dental appointments.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is on the rise as more and more people realise that if they don’t like their smile,
they don’t have to just put up with it. There are
so many more cosmetic dentistry treatments on the market these days, and more
adults are undertaking teeth whitening and teeth straightening to achieve the
smile they want. Below we explore these practices a bit further.
Orthodontics (teeth
straightening)
If you have crooked or crowded teeth, then you may wish to look at teeth straightening options.
Not only can orthodontic treatments improve the aesthetic appeal of the teeth, but it can also improve your bite and make
them easier to clean. You will need to go and see a dentist and have a full
examination, often including x-rays and making models of your teeth, before
treatment starts.
Most teeth straightening is completed using a brace. This could be with a fixed brace, but these could feature clear or tooth-coloured
wires and brackets, which are more discreet than traditional braces. There are
other options, such as CFast, which
are also very discreet and focus on the front teeth alone.
Invisible braces, such as Invisalign, are heavy duty but
thin, transparent plastic aligners, which are usually changed every two weeks
and gently move the teeth into the desired position. These aligners need to be worn for approximately 22 hours a day for best
results. They can be removed for eating, drinking and cleaning teeth, which has
made their popularity rise over recent years.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is very popular these days, and many celebrities are leading the way donning perfectly white teeth on our screens. This white teeth trend seems to be trickling
down into public society, and many dentists
now offer at least some form of teeth whitening in their practices.
Professional teeth whitening can be a very effective way of
sprucing up your smile. It is safe to do but should be completed by a
professional dentist and is no longer legal to perform in beauty salons or
anywhere else.
Professional bleaching is the most popular method of teeth
whitening. Your dentist will use specially tailored trays, like a mouth guard, which
contain the whitening product to apply this to your teeth. You may then be given trays to take home to carry on your
treatment.
The other main popular method of teeth whitening is lasers or
power whitening. The whitening bleach product is
still used, but a light or laser is shone directly onto the
teeth to enhance and activate the product, which makes the teeth lightening
process speed up. These treatments usually take around one hour.
