Teeth Whitening can lighten your tooth colour by several shades and give your face\u00a0an instant lift and make you look younger.It’s great for achieving a quick fix\u00a0 to a brighter, whiter smile with almost immmediate results.The downside is the results don’t last forever and staining can reappear after 6-18months depending on your diet and lifestyle.There are a vast array of tooth\u00a0whitening treatments ranging from power or laser tooth whitening to tray based tooth whitening to toothpastes that claim to whiten teeth.The results and outcome vary considerably and\u00a0will depend on the products used,the active ingredients and the technique utilised.Ultimately, a\u00a0good cosmetic dentist should be able to advise and guide you on the most suitable treatment option to achieve the best results.<\/p>\n
Porcelain Veneers<\/a> are ‘fingernails’ of porcelain applied to your teeth and are widely utilised in smile makeovers.They are good for closing gaps between teeth,changing the colour , shape and size of your teeth and\u00a0straightening crooked or uneven teeth.Veneers are permanently fixed to teeth and do entail removal of a small amount of natural tooth enamel so they should only be carried out following a consultation with a good cosmetic dentist.With good aftercare, veneers should last from 10-15 years.<\/p>\n Dental Implants look like real teeth but\u00a0are a titanium substitute for\u00a0replacing a\u00a0missing tooth.They can be fitted into your jaw and once integrated, look just like a natural tooth. They are strong, durable and permanent and can last many years but it is important to maintain regular and thorough\u00a0oral hygiene.It is highly advisable to have this procedure carried out by a dentist who has been trained to fit dental implants.<\/p>\n White or Porcelain Fillings<\/a> are good for replacing old style metal or mercury fillings and give a good aesthetic and natural\u00a0result whereby it is difficult to tell your teeth have been filled.<\/p>\n Porcelain Crowns<\/a> are false teeth fitted over damaged or\u00a0broken down teeth to improve function and appearance.Porcelain crowns avoid the dark or metal line that is sometimes appears with porcelain bonded to metal crowns when gums begin to recede.<\/p>\n Dental Bridges<\/a> are a row or ‘bridge’\u00a0 of false teeth where the two teeth either side of a gap are utilised as\u00a0anchors\u00a0to create a\u00a0bridge and thereby fill the space or gap between them.They create a natural look and are good for replacing multiple missing teeth and with good aftercare, can last from 10-15 years.<\/p>\n
