Cosmetic dentistry in achieving the perfect smile
We all know the importance of clean and healthy teeth and a good daily dental hygiene routine is vital in maintaining this. Your teeth may be clean and healthy, but we at Kirby Dental understand that
everyone wants their teeth to look beautiful too because after all, a beautiful smile is the first thing we notice when we look at a person or meet them for the first time and a beautiful smile is what attracts us to each other and helps boost our self-confidence whether in a social setting or in a professional environment. Speak to your dentist in Teddington to find out about the different types of cosmetic dentistry that we can offer to help improve the way you feel about your smile.
Yellow teeth can affect how you feel about your smile. Staining and discolouration can occur as a result of poor dental care, smoking, some food or drinks such as tea, wine and coffee, some medications and illnesses. There are many different methods of teeth whitening and here at Kirby Dental, we have found Enlighten to be a popular choice of treatment. Enlighten involves an initial professional clean at your dentist in Teddington followed by a home treatment kit. Your dentist will examine your teeth and carry out a full professional clean of your mouth, then an impression will be taken of your teeth using x-rays and scans. These reports will be sent to the technician to create individually tailored whitening trays that will hold the Enlighten gel, which you will use at home and wear overnight. The gel works by increasing your tooth’s permeability to oxygen, which breaks down the stain molecules that are responsible for the yellowing or discolouration of your teeth. It is a simple yet effective method of teeth whitening so speak to your dentist in Teddington to find out more about how Enlighten can help whiten your teeth today.
Veneers for a whiter & brighter smile
Veneers have been used since the 1930s to help protect your teeth and improve the aesthetics of your smile. Veneers are thin but strong individually tailored shells, which are attached to the front of your teeth and either coloured to match your natural teeth or you can choose shades that are lighter to help whiten your teeth. Veneers are designed to mask chips and cracks, fill gaps between your teeth, disguise damaged enamel, improve the look of misalignment of your teeth and also as a permanent solution to stained or discoloured teeth. Speak to your dentist in Teddington to find out how veneers can help improve the look of your smile today.
Fillings are commonly used in the treatment of issues such as tooth decay and cavities. There are many different types of fillings available for the treatment of tooth decay and white fillings are becoming increasingly the more popular choice of filling amongst adults. They are designed to be almost invisible in comparison to conventional amalgam or gold fillings and provide a more natural look. They also provide more support and help strengthen the tooth as they are chemically bonded to the tooth and they can be moulded to support and repair any other existing damage in your teeth. Speak to us at Kirby dental to find out more about white fillings and other types of cosmetic dentistry to suit your requirements today.
