Helpful Dentist in Epping Explains How Dental Veneers Can Change Your Smile


December 16th, 2011

Picture perfect teeth are made accessible and affordable for you with the advanced corrective procedure of dental veneers. Dental veneers are very thin overlays that are placed by your dentist over your teeth. Dental veneers create the façade of perfectly natural looking teeth that provide you with a long lasting, dazzling white smile. Dental veneers can be used to correct many flaws with your teeth including severe stains, gaps, chipped, broken, or crooked teeth. Dental veneers can last from three to over fifteen years, depending on the type of materials used. Porcelain veneers are the highest quality of veneers because they are durable, stain resistant and look the most like natural teeth. Composite resin veneers are a more affordable option for patients on a budget, but they will not last as long as porcelain veneers. Patients with dental veneers say that they have more confidence to smile, laugh, and speak with ease in public. Dental veneers can truly improve the quality of your life by improving your smile drastically. Dental veneers can give you the picture perfect smile of your dreams with greater ease and take much less time than traditional metal braces or other invasive, time consuming procedures. Speak to your dentist in Epping to learn more about the benefits of dental veneers and how they help you give you the smile you have always wanted.

February 1st, 2011

People these days will do almost anything to turn back the clock and beat the signs of aging. They spend a lot of money on cosmetic procedures to smoothen away wrinkles skin. However, all this effort will be wasted if they do not do something about their teeth as well. Teeth are a dead giveaway of a person’s true age because they have a tendency of becoming more yellow as a person ages. As a matter of fact, lots of people who want a quick fix to look young and who are afraid of going under the knife or unwilling to do so prefer to just whiten their teeth to automatically look younger.

The simplest way of whitening teeth is to bleach them, but this method has limited effect. It will certainly not take care of deep stains although it will brighten the teeth to some extent. The most effective method of whitening teeth is to use veneers and it is increasing in popularity.

According to a Billericay dentist, veneers have become the first choice of people wanting to brighten their teeth even though the process is expensive. There are two types, composite and porcelain, with porcelain being more expensive but better looking. A skillful dentist is able to give a patient a brand new smile that is composed of bright and evenly sized and placed teeth. People do not mind spending money if they get to have a radiant smile and if they can look younger in the process. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

Basildon dentists utilise the power of digital x-rays


July 15th, 2010

Basildon dentists are currently using new technologies that are constantly being introduced into the world of dentistry. Technology is advancing at an incredible rate with tools like dental lasers making surgery more comfortable and improving recovery times. But perhaps the most significant new tool in the dentistry field is the digital x-ray. This has facilitated a number of pioneering new dental treatments and made many existing dental procedures much more efficient.

Digital x-rays possess several major advantages over conventional x-rays. The most obvious advantage is the time taken to process the image. Traditional x-rays need to be developed like photographs in a laboratory. This takes time and can cause problems with under or overexposure. It often meant that at times, the images are less than perfectly clear making diagnosis and treatment slightly tricky. New digital x-rays can be processed immediately and displayed on a computer screen right in front of the dentist. The images are very clear and very accurate and allow the dentist to use or save the image in the patients file.

Another major advantage comes in the area of safety. Digital x-rays use about 80 per cent less radiation than the old style x-ray machines which makes them less damaging to both patients and the dentists who use them every day. This has managed to alleviate one of the most common dangers of using x-rays.

Digital x-rays have also made possible the emergence of chair-side dentistry. The speed these images can be produced combined with other computer guided machinery means that dentists are now able to manufacture and fit dental restorations such as crowns and veneers in only a single appointment. This has vastly improved both the speed and accuracy of treatment. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford

A Harlow dentist gives out some good advice on teeth whitening


June 13th, 2010

Teeth whitening is a much sort out consequence of modern living advises a Harlow dentist. Just about everyone these days wants to have a Hollywood style smile, Simon Cowell has a lot to answer for, but he is also a great advert for this trend. White teeth give us a great smile and that is something that also gives us confidence, but what is involved? First off there is a cheap method of achieving white teeth and a medium and expensive way. A home whitening kit will cost less than a £100 and is easy to do; it involves mixing a bleaching agent and a reactor in a gum shield which is then fitted over the teeth and left to do its job. The results vary depending on how well you follow the instructions, the quality of the product and the amount of discolouration on the teeth. Most people will however get their teeth whitened at a salon or their dentist, at the salon you will have a technician doing the job, and their method isn’t recommended for people with badly receding gums as the root is exposed. A gel is brushed on the teeth and a rubber shield is used to expose them and protect the gums, tongue and lips. An intense light is shone on the exposed teeth to react with the gel, this breaks down the stains and encourages the enamel to smooth itself out and give the appearance of a whiter tooth. There are restrictions on what you can eat and drink, but this method has had good reviews. A visit to the dentist will be needed if you want to go a bit more expensive and have veneers fitted. Thin veneers will cover the tooth and give you an instant and lasting whiteness; they will also cover chipped and cracked teeth. They last around 3-5 years.

Incredibly thin Lumineer veneers from Billericay dentist


June 6th, 2010

Lumineers have transformed the world of dental veneers. These ultra-thin veneers can be placed over any teeth to offer a complete aesthetic overhaul as well as offering protection to damaged teeth and enabling you to live a life without limitations on what you can eat and drink because of your teeth.

Dental veneers have been used for many years to improve the appearance of teeth. Discolouration, staining and worn enamel are common problems that affect many thousands of patients across the UK. These dental concerns can make it very embarrassing to smile as well as very painful even when doing the most simple activities. Veneers, like dental crowns which are their thicker sibling, are cemented over the existing teeth to restore the cosmetic appearance and act as a protective barrier against further damage.

In the past this meant that a layer of natural tooth enamel had to be removed to allow the veneers to fit comfortably over the top without appearing too big in the mouth. This was always a drawback as dentists never like removing healthy enamel unless absolutely necessary. Now Lumineers have made this a thing of the past as they are thin enough to require no enamel removal. This also makes the process completely reversible should you have a reason for wanting to reverse it. With Lumineers you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Lumineers could be just the answer you have been looking for to get the perfect smile you have always wanted. Billericay dentists are currently using Lumineers to restore the appearance of damaged and unevenly spaced teeth in as little as two appointments. Make an appointment to see what Lumineers could do for you. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

Replace old fillings with cosmetic bonding at Colchester dentist


May 13th, 2010

There are many different dental treatments available to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. Teeth that are damaged either structurally or by staining and discolouration can be restored using veneers or whitening treatments. It is also possible to use orthodontic straightening devices to realign teeth that are crooked. However, one of the most versatile and commonly used cosmetic dental procedures is known as cosmetic bonding.

Cosmetic bonding has been used for a long time in dentistry because of its versatility and ability to transform the smile in a single visit. It is made from a composite resin that can be mixed up to closely resemble the colour of the existing teeth of the patient for an impressive cosmetic result. Cosmetic bonding is commonly used for filling dental cavities or replacing the old fashioned and controversial silver amalgam fillings. It is also used for restoring broken or chipped teeth, closing or evening up spaces between teeth and for covering areas of discolouration.

Cosmetic bonding is very popular for fillings because it has a much better cosmetic appearance than silver amalgam fillings, which can look very unattractive in the mouth. Although bonding is not ideal for use in large areas, it can be used in small cavities and also to hold a ceramic inlay in place. It is also completely safe to use unlike the silver amalgam fillings, which contain mercury vapours that can damage the body. Many patients are opting to have their old silver amalgam fillings replaced with composite bonding for these reasons.

Before cosmetic bonding takes place anywhere on the teeth, the surface of the area on question will need to be etched or roughened to allow for greater grip. The bonding is then applied and made solid using the heat of a dental laser. This makes the bonding firm offering protection and aesthetic improvement to the teeth. Find out more about composite bonding at a Colchester dentist. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford
