But you needn’t worry, because it’s all there for you- cosmetic dentistry is big industry and those canny old dentists can offer you anything you want. Tooth whitening is ‘huge’ at the moment; from home bleaching kits, whitening toothpastes to the miracle that is laser whitening at the dentists. Such pleasure as veneers and cosmetic bonding can get your teeth into shape in no time- especially with CEREC, because you can have veneers, crowns and bridges within a couple of hours. Whilst on the subject of bridges, it’s always good to plug a hole in the smile and bridges and/or dental implants can put your teeth back in the ball-park. For those who have been unfortunate to have lost all of their teeth, if you prefer to veer away from implants and the like, modern dentures are the way to go because the technology has moved on remarkably. If you want it, you can get it but before you decide what’s best for you, it’s always best to have a chat with your dentist beforehand and they can advise how to get the best makeover that suits you.

These come under the collective heading of cosmetic dentistry.

Porcelain dental veneers and porcelain dental crowns can be attached to teeth which are cracked, chipped, stained or broken down. The same colour as teeth and highly adaptable, these clever devices make smiles look better because there are no unsightly teeth which stand out from the rest of them.

In a similar vein, dentists can administer teeth whitening treatment. This is done with gels which contain bleaching agents to remove stains. The gel is usually applied in whitening trays which are worn on the teeth either in the surgery or at home, usually during sleep. Some of these teeth whitening treatments can produce incredible results and restore teeth to the whitest shade that is possible.

Braces also come under cosmetic dentistry but having your teeth straightened out conveys health benefits on the patient too. Using metal brackets and wires, dentists can pull teeth into more appropriate positions and rotate them too. Other products are available too which perform similar functions to braces but are more discreet or work with greater speed.

These procedures can be carried out in isolation or in combination with one another in what is often termed a ‘smile makeover’. Book an appointment for a consultation with your London dentist and improve the look of your smile with cosmetic dentistry.

These two areas are of course related because a healthy mouth usually looks better too but a number of people are simply unaware of the exciting variety of procedures which are available from their local dentist that can improve the look of their mouth.

As a whole, these practices are called cosmetic dentistry and they range from teeth whitening to teeth straightening to porcelain crowns and veneers and can even encompass several different procedures in a ‘smile makeover’ package. Many Central London dentists offer interest free repayment packages so that you can spread the cost of these procedures over time. This makes cosmetic dentistry much more affordable than many believe it to be.

Teeth whitening can be achieved in just one short trip to the dentist thanks to special whitening gels and targeted curing lights which clear even the most stubborn looking stains. Teeth can be straightened out with a choice of a number of different methods from the traditional metal brace to clear plastic products and those which work in just six months to align teeth properly.

Porcelain dental veneers and porcelain dental crowns can be fitted in no time at all to conceal unsightly teeth which are stained, chipped, cracked or even broken down. It is the new technology which is becoming commonplace in so many dental surgeries in the United Kingdom that allows this to happen. The results are immensely pleasing for dentists and their patients alike.

On the one hand it is a den of iniquity, dangling carrots of everything fashionable and extreme socialising, whilst on the other, it offers ways to repair yourself after such exuberances. Such enjoyments will however catch up with you in time and take their toll on you. Such as it is with your teeth; we place a lot of stress on our fangs with such vices like fast food, smoking and drinking, and like the rest of our body, our teeth will start to suffer from wear and tear with this sustained period of fun and frolics. But with all our foibles, dentists come up with ways to solve all our dental problems- it’s almost as if they know we are going to need them at some point. Tooth replacement is a ‘doddle’ these days: dental implants, bridges and partial dentures can help plug those gaps and keep your smile complete. Cosmetically though, there are many ways to keep your teeth pearly white and looking sensational. Veneers are a great way to cover up, those horrible stains, cracks and gaps…leaving you looking fabulous. Dental bonding is there to touch-up minor problems with the simplest of ease. Teeth whitening can be done at the dentists, or at home with home bleaching kits…everything is laid on a plate for you to keep you smiling. But, where dentistry has moved into an era of Star Trek proportions is with the technology it has at hand, being able to offer all the aforementioned treatments in as little as an hour. Now that is dangling a carrot to let you carry on partying, you damage it and we’ll fix it over lunch!

From home bleaching kits through to veneers and onwards to dental implants, you are spoilt rotten these days with the amount of choice afforded to you and their easy availability. But the name ‘cosmetic’ can generally lead you to think it’s all superficial and vain, which, at some level it is. However there are many more deeper and healthier reasons why you should consider having a little bit of cosmetic dentistry done yourself. In an ever speedy world, first impressions are all important and when you are introduced to someone for the first time, one of the first things you express to them is your teeth. If you are conscious that your teeth are below par, it can inhibit the way your talk and the way you express yourself. This can start to knock you self esteem and withdraw you socially; bad teeth can also affect you speech too. That aside, there are also health issues to take into consideration. Restoring your teeth and improving them can readdress the balance in your mouth, ensuring your ‘bite’ is true, reducing the chances of infections, addressing the problems of plaque and reducing the chances of gum disease and increase the life of your teeth. Hey, what the hell, yes you’ll look beautiful too, you!

Over there, they have so many contraptions and dental procedures to make their teeth straight and white, that almost everyone has the model mouth. Yet, if you take a walk around the city of London, you may have noticed that ‘we’ are catching up with our American cousins, and thanks to an explosion of dental technology in the last 20 years, cosmetic dentistry has become available to everyone, and at a very reasonable price too. It all starts with straightening the teeth and a new age of aligners have made it easy to get your teeth into position. Gums can be perfectly shaped, gaps and cracks in the teeth hidden away and missing teeth can be easily replaced with new developments in implant technology. However, it’s in the field of creating the perfect shape and color in teeth where cosmetic dentistry has really taken off- dental bonding and veneers are high in demand for putting the smile back on your face, but the biggest fashionable techniques for teeth whitening can be found in home DIY bleaching kits that you can buy on the high street and laser whitening, the hot topic right now on TV make-over programs. But look through all the glitz of these techniques and you’ll find that they leave you teeth healthy as well.

Unfortunately if there is an aspect of your appearance that you are not happy with then it can make you want to hide away and you might find that you are just not quite acting yourself. If the problem is with the look of your smile then you should contact your London dentist because they will be able to sort out the problem and give you a new lease of self confidence.

Dentists can offer you a range of procedures which come under the label of cosmetic dentistry. They are designed to improve the look of your smile by ironing out issues large and small that you have with the look of your mouth. At the more major end of the spectrum are procedures like having braces fitted to straighten out crooked or misaligned teeth. Dentists can also effectively cover up cracked or chipped teeth using porcelain dental veneers. If the problem with a tooth is more major because the tooth has broken down then they can fit you with a porcelain dental crown which will improve the functionality of your mouth too.

Other procedures such as teeth whitening are also available and two or more of the techniques can be combined into packages known as ‘smile makeovers’ which address several issues concurrently. These practices are more affordable than ever, not to mention a great deal more convenient too. This is all thanks to improvements in technology which mean you spend less time in the surgery and have to pay less too.

Many people simply live with an imperfection in their teeth but there is no need when cosmetic dentistry procedures are so widely available and often far more affordable than one might think.

Example of cosmetic dentistry procedures include things like porcelain crowns and veneers which are used to cover up teeth which are cracked, chipped or even stained. Not just cosmetic though, these examples actually help improve the functions of the mouth too.

Teeth whitening is another type of cosmetic dentistry and can be carried out in the surgery with your dentist in charge or by using an over the counter kit purchased from a super market or a pharmacy. Some of these methods are able to restore teeth to the brightest possible level of whiteness.

Cosmetic dentistry also covers things like the wide variety of different braces and aligners which are now on the market and can be used to straighten misaligned, crooked, or over crowded teeth. Some of these products are extremely discreet, a vast improvement on the traditional metal brace.

Many of these procedures can be carried out with incredible speed these days thanks to advances in technology, such as CEREC. Digital x-rays are cutting down waiting times and reducing the need for repeat visits to the surgery. An added bonus is that this actually means that many of the costs of these treatments are actually reduced because the lab fees to develop x-rays are eliminated.

If you are not happy with a certain aspect of your smile then you should make an appointment to see your Central London dentist and discuss the various cosmetic dentistry procedures on offer.
