Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is becoming ever more popular with people
realising that there are so many more options to achieve the smile they have
always wanted. This often involves patients seeking out teeth straightening or
teeth whitening options or sometimes both. One such popular treatment with an
upsurge in popularity of late is the orthodontic treatment Invisalign.
Invisalign
This very discreet orthodontic technique involves the patient
wearing a series of custom-made teeth aligners, which will slowly but surely
move teeth into the desired position.
Each aligner is custom made, so it fits perfectly to your
teeth and gums. The new aligners are then introduced every 2 weeks and these
move the teeth into place. The whole treatment process is mapped out at the
beginning, with the wearer being able to see by 3d imaging how their teeth will
appear at the end of treatment.
The clear plastic aligners must be worn for approximately 22
hours per day for the treatment to take place effectively.

Another popular choice for teeth correction is dental implants.
These are great if you have any missing teeth and they provide an excellent
alternative to removable dentures. Teeth can be lost for a variety of reasons,
including trauma, tooth infection, gum disease or decay. It can cause a real
loss of confidence if you have lost any teeth. Not only that but it can cause
problems with the surrounding teeth that are left. Unfortunately, the remaining
teeth start moving into the gaps, and this can cause problems with a person’s
bite, as well as leaving small pockets susceptible to food getting stuck,
sometimes leading to infection.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are inserted
into the jawbone using a local anaesthetic. These are then left to heal for a
few months before a replacement crown or bridge can be added. The dental
implants are strong and are the next best thing you are going to get to having
your own, natural teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implants

can eat your normal foods again

They
often help with speech, which can slur or change due to missing teeth
·
They

·
They
can significantly boost your self-confidence by restoring your smile
