Choosing Cosmetic Dental Treatments In Essex

You can find a number of cosmetic dental treatments in Essex. However different people have different needs. What you want largely depends on your current oral health and the areas you would like to improve. This quick overview will look at possible problems and possible solutions.

I have a missing tooth and want something in place that is easy to look after.

In this situation a titanium implant is ideal. Titanium implants are often useful because they allow you to carry on eating, playing sports and so forth without fear of anything coming loose. Furthermore there is no need for any adhesive.

I have stains on my teeth.

There are a couple of options for this. One option is tooth whitening. While there are kits you can use at home the danger is that you may not apply it properly. A trained professional can ensure that any bleaching agent used is safe and applied properly with minimal risk.

If you do not want teeth whitening then another alternative is the Snap On Smile. This is a thin resin that can be placed over the teeth. It is also a good way of covering up missing teeth or any gaps.

I have pointy teeth that stick out from the others.

A good way to deal with this is tooth contouring. This is where teeth are smoothed over to create a more consistent look. This can often be done in combination with teeth whitening for the most effective results.

I need to wear braces but I don’t like the thought of people knowing I’m wearing them!

If this applies to you Invisalign may be your best option. These are clear trays that are placed on the mouth in order to straighten them. They are removable so you can also eat or play sports as you normally would without the fear they will suddenly slip off and cause you embarrassment!

How do I know what treatment is right for me?

The simplest way to find out if a treatment is right for you is to talk to the expert directly. You can ask them any questions regarding how the treatment will work and equally an expert can look at your oral health and offer recommendations appropriate to your personal needs.

Cosmetic Dental Treatments in Essex

The word cosmetic indicates something being made to look better. While some may associate the word with vanity it is often something that helps people feel more self confident. With the right cosmetic dental treatments in Essex you can improve your smile and get the self confidence that comes with it!

What types of treatments are available?

Below are a few examples of cosmetic dental treatments available-

Cosmetic braces- Often associated with children and teenagers it is easy to forget that these are not designed to be tools of social awkwardness! Braces are useful in that they realign the teeth, creating a more even looking smile.
Teeth whitening- People are sometimes nervous about this kind of treatment as they believe it will look fake. However experienced cosmetic dentists can gradually improve the shading of teeth to make them look brighter and at the same time create a look that is subtle and natural.
Dental implants- If you have a tooth missing this can fill the gap. Titanium implants can be cleaned in pretty much the same way as normal teeth.
Tooth contouring- This is used to smooth over overly pointy teeth in order to create a more consistent looking mouth shape.
Snap On Smile- This is a thin resin placed over the teeth, ideal for stained, chipped or missing teeth. It is ideal for people nervous about going to the dentist as it does not require any drilling!

Can I still get a regular dental checkup at a cosmetic dentist?

Yes you can! A cosmetic dentist often uses X-rays and scans to check your oral health. This then makes it easier while doing a deep clean to pinpoint what areas require the most cleaning to ensure the best possible job. They can also offer advice on preventative health measures to ensure you keep your teeth clean between appointments!

Can anyone get cosmetic dental treatments?

There are some restrictions for example some adult braces may not be suitable for children under the age of 9. You may also be unable to get some treatments if you are a persistent smoker or you have particularly poor oral health.

All of these issues can be discussed during an initial consultation with the cosmetic dentist. If you have any questions or concerns it is worth getting in contact now.

You can get Same Day Dentistry in Essex

There are a number of things that put people off going to the dentist. Some people are nervous of drills, others just find the waiting before treatment worrying. One of the biggest concerns is the amount of time it takes to get a treatment. With Same Day Dentistry in Essex you can enjoy the benefit of cosmetic dental treatment while still being able to carry on with your day.

What treatments can be done in one day?

You would be surprised what can be done in the space of a day. Technology has advanced to such an extent that some treatments that would previously have taken several operations now only require one. Below are a few examples of treatments that can be done on the same day.

Tooth contouring- If you have uneven teeth this is a good way of smoothing them out. The good thing about this process is that you can clear out the chips or overly pointy teeth that may stick out. In most cases this can be done in a single visit!
Implants- It is possible to get some same day implants. The reason this can be done quicker is due to more advanced techniques.
Professional cleaning- It is important to visit the dentist at least once every six months. As well as cosmetic treatments we can also offer advice on dental hygiene and deep cleaning to ensure optimum oral health.

Surely doing it quicker results in loss of quality?

It is easy to be cynical and suggest that being able to do treatments quickly is as a result of cutting corners. With improved technology and more advanced techniques you can be sure that you are getting the treatment you need in the quickest possible time!

Will it be more expensive?

In simple terms no. With a lot of cosmetic dental treatments the major expense comes from having to return for numerous checkups and appointments. A lot of same day treatments are guaranteed to not require this so you can leave the dentist confident that you will not have to come back until your next checkup!

I get nervous before I go to the dentist. Is there anything you can do to help?

For a lot of people the fear before going to the dentist is often a lot worse than the procedure itself. Dentists are often happy to discuss their work with you and will work hard to demystify the process and keep you informed. This is why it is often a good idea to book a consultation before you even consider a treatment so you can prepare yourself mentally and get over any nervousness.

Invisalign Braces Essex

Invisalign Braces Essex

A lot of people dread having their photo done. In the old days this would mean the occasional school photo or holiday snap. Unfortunately in the days of camera phones digital pictures can be taken at any time, increasing the fear that someone will see a crooked smile or a gap in the teeth. But there is no need to hide behind a scowl with Invisalign braces Essex!

What are Invisalign braces?

There are two parts to this. The first part is that Invisalign braces do the work of normal braces, straightening teeth and improving the quality of a smile.

The other side of this is that as the name suggests Invisalign braces are basically invisible. This is because they are made of a clear plastic that you can only really see if you are looking up very closely!

OK so people may not be able to tell I’m wearing braces. But surely with those things clamped on I won’t be able to eat or sleep comfortably?

This is indeed a concern with a lot of people when they were braces that have to be fixed on. It is indeed true that with older models (especially fixed ones) it can restrict what you can eat.

However this is not the case with Invisalign for the very simple fact that you do not need to wear them all the time! If you want to eat, sleep or go for a run you can simply take them out!

Aren’t braces for kids?

Quite simply no! Adult braces have been used for a long time to help people correct problems such as gaps between their teeth and misaligned teeth.

How does the process work? I don’t want someone hard selling me a treatment I don’t want or need.

A professional cosmetic dentist like Dr J Basrai will look at your oral health and decide if Invisalign braces are suitable. It is difficult to say whether or not they will be suitable for you as everyone is different. However a large number of people have benefited from using them, including a number of high profile celebrities!

The process usually takes around 12 months but may take longer depending on the alignment process, with some cases proving more complex than others. After a consultation, scans and impressions can be made to produce tailored aligners to suit your teeth (these will usually need to be changed every two or weeks or so during the treatment process).

The best thing to do is to discuss this during an initial consultation so you can get the full information on this. Get in contact today to find out more and see if Invisalign braces Essex can give you a clearer smile!
