After seeing lots of great results on our patients with Invisalign brace treatments I’ve decided to take the plunge and try the treatment for myself. After 2 weeks I’m onto my second aligner and all’s going well after a few days of getting used to wearing the aligners!

More updates in the next few weeks to follow.

Today we finished a lovely case on a young lady who was very conscious of her smile. the teeth were very worn chipped and stained. With a combination of 7 porcelain veneers and an implant retained crown we managed to transform her smile and confidence. See the pictures on our case of the month page on the website. The treatment was provided using our low cost finance facility so costs are spread over a longer period making treatment more affordable.

We are now starting to complete many of our Inman Aligner patients started a few months ago. The treatment is great for mild crowding cases like the one on the case of the month page.

This treatment was completed in a much shorter time than normal braces and has created a great smile for the patient.

Many people suffer from facial pain or migraines. Most doctors try to treat these problem with painkilling drugs without looking at the underlying cause. we often have patients coming to us with these symptoms thinking nothing can be done.

We often find the cause of these problems to be tooth grinding at night (bruxism) or clenching of the jaws. However, many of these patients can be treated using bite raising appliances to relieve the stress on the muscles of the face. These simple appliances are worn at night and can sometimes improve symptoms in days.

If you suffer with facial pain please speak to one of our dentists and they will be happy to help.

One of the many rpoblems with growing old, (as I should know being 44 this week) is the drift of teeth making the teeth look overcrowded. With our various techniques to correct this crowding using Invisalign or the Inman aligner we can quickly make the teeth look good again. Often used in conjunction with tooth whitening we can make a dramatic improvement to the smile with a minimum of treatment.

A common problem we are presented with is the replacement of loose lower incisor teeth. These teeth are often the 1st to show the affects of advanced gum disease and can look unsightly and feel uncomfortable.

At Advance Dental Clinic we can use implants to replace these loose teeth. The 4 lower front teeth are carefully removed and 2 implants placed. these are then restored with 4 fixed temporary teeth left inplace for 2-3 months before the new porcelain teeth are fitted permanently to the implants.

At the start of this year we introduced the Inman Aligner into our clinic after Andrew attended the accreditation course in London. We are now finishing our first few cases, with great results coming through. Most cases are taking only 2-3 months to complete, with the patient feedback being very positive on both the wearing of the aligners and the final results achieved. The aligner works really well for mild crowding on the upper or lower front teeth, is removable and the treatment can be completed very quickly.

This week at Advance Dental Clinic one of our patients used our low cost finance facility recently arranged with Medenta Finance. This has helped her afford the extensive treatment she required to improve her smile using a combination of dental implants and porcelain veneers. The application process was very straightforward and completed and accepted in a mattr of minutes.

At Advance Dental Clinic we have definitely noticed an increased demand for tooth whitening despite the economic doom and gloom affecting the country at the moment.

One reason for this might be the cheering up factor, a nice white smile gives you a great feel good factor at an affordable price especially compared to more radical treatments such as porcelain veneers and orthodontics.

We offer 2 main types of whitening; In surgery whitening is useful for people with heavily stained teeth and those who don’t want to use home trays. Custom home tooth whitening uses specially designed custom fitted trays, worn at night, using a whitening gel placed in the tray. This generally gives us the best result possible as the trays can be worn until the patient his happy with the final colour. After that the trays can be used 1 night per month just to keep the colour looking great.
