If smiling is a sign of happiness we want you to smile on!
Updated: Jul 15
Kirby Dental Clinic has a passion for helping our patients to smile confidently and radiantly so that they can express their happy emotions. We do smile makeovers Teddington if you have missing or crooked teeth, or a misaligned jaw. Perhaps you have chipped, cracked or stained teeth? Our aim is to correct these imperfections to reveal that wonderful smile that lurks inside.
Smile makeovers Teddington, not just a cosmetic procedure
Replacing missing teeth and correcting dental misalignments both have benefits that are equally as important as the resulting radiant smile. Missing teeth can mean that you have to change your diet because you are unable to chew properly. Misaligned teeth can result in harmful bacteria developing in little pockets where you are unable to brush and floss. This bacteria can cause a variety of health issues including poor digestion, heart problems, headaches and many more unpleasant health conditions. Then of course there are the benefits of smiling, releasing endorphins that alleviate stress and anxiety and boost your mood.
Straighter teeth to let you smile more often
We are all familiar with the youngsters at school who wore those metal braces to try and straighten their teeth. The results were good but the treatment looked very uncomfortable. Fortunately today those braces have undergone a massive improvement and are much smaller, more effective and far more comfortable. In addition a range of different braces have been invented, made from a variety of materials and designed to cope with many different conditions. Some of them are even tooth coloured to be less conspicuous and for certain conditions they even fit behind your teeth so that they cannot be seen. Dental aligners are the latest misalignment-correcting appliance used in our smile makeovers Teddington, offering another method allowing us to straighten your teeth. These fit over your teeth like a gumshield, referred to as a tray, and they can be removed to allow for brushing and flossing. The treatment involves a series of ‘trays’ each with a slightly different orientation, which gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Each tray needs to be worn for an average of three weeks before a new tray is fitted.
Missing teeth
Missing teeth also hinder our willingness to smile, especially if the missing tooth is a front tooth. There is however no need to be embarrassed. As part of our smile makeovers Teddington we can replace your tooth with a dental implant which provides a crown that will look, feel and perform just like your natural teeth. Now considered a routine procedure we will place a titanium post into your jawbone which will act in the same way as your root does for your natural teeth. We will create a crown that will be shaped and coloured to match your existing teeth. You will be able to eat and drink as normal in the knowledge that your new tooth is solid and stable just like all your teeth.
Your smile, our reward
For us our real reward comes after your treatment. We derive a lot of satisfaction from seeing our patients who arrived in pain or with low self-esteem due to being too embarrassed to open their mouths, leaving our surgery with a confident, beaming and radiant smile.
