Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry is a form of professional dental and oral care that focuses on improving the look of your teeth and your dental health. Most Cosmetic Dentistry procedures are optional. However, some can be essential. For Cosmetic Dentistry in Selsdon, visit Selsdon Smiles.

Smile Makeovers

Selsdon Smiles have invested interest in Cosmetic Dentistry procedures giving you a ‘Smile Makeover’. So if you’re someone who is always trying to hide your smile, or you don’t feel confident in your smile due to tooth discoloration, a chip or crack, or even misalignment, we are here to help you feel beautiful again! Smile Makeovers can dramatically change the way someone looks as well as how they feel within. When creating your new smile, we consider many elements such as your facial features, age and characteristics. Meaning we have the most experienced and talented dental nurses here with an artistic eye to help construct your dream smile. Here at Selsdon Smiles, we are devoted to using our time to plan your smile before beginning any procedure, and we understand that dentistry isn’t just about improving the overall appearance, but sometimes it’s about functionality.

You may be thinking, what can a Smile Makeover do for me? Well, this procedure can repair worn, broken, chipped teeth, replace missing teeth, whiten yellow, stained and discoloured teeth, straighten overlapping and crooked teeth, and so much more!

Teeth Whitening

Another form of Cosmetic Dentistry in Selsdon is Teeth Whitening. This procedure involves lighting the colour of your teeth. As we know, teeth can become yellow over time for several reasons. Many people end up wanting to get their teeth whitened, and this can be done by changing the colour of the tooth’s enamel. Our dental nurses here at Selsdon Smiles can assist in reversing the discolouration of your teeth. Teeth Whitening can not only improve your overall confidence, but it is known to change people’s lives.

You might be wondering why your teeth have discoloured in the first place, and like mentioned previously, it can be because of many reasons. Many lifestyle habits can contribute, such as foods and drinks like tea, coffee, wine and even starchy foods. Tobacco can also have a significant impact on your teeth.

Here at Selsdon Smiles, we offer two types of Teeth Whitening procedures. Boutique Whitening, where we take impressions of your teeth and send them to the laboratory where custom trays will be made for you. We will give you those trays during your next appointment, where you will be given some chemicals to place in them and be worn overnight. Another procedure is called Airflow Cleaning; this is completed by a jet of compressed air, water, and bicarbonate particles, polishing the teeth gently and wiping away stains, leaving behind a bright, white smile! This procedure costs £75.

Veneers

Subtle changes significantly impact your appearance, such as Porcelain Veneers. The Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured Porcelain shells that are custom made to bond to the front surface of your teeth whilst also protecting the tooth’s surface from any damage, giving you a new look. Porcelain Veneers can improve the colour of your teeth, close spaces, enhance the shape of your teeth, and so much more!

Porcelain Veneers are also known as Dental Facelifts. Although they can enhance the appearance of your teeth, they can also be used to eliminate gaps between the teeth, making sure you no longer have a ‘gummy smile’.

We advise that your teeth are relatively intact and minimally restored or filled to be able to recieve the best. Porcelain Veneers are solid and resist most forces placed upon them by a regular diet.

Invisalign

For Cosmetic Dentistry in Selsdon, Invisalign is another very popular treatment. By using clear plastic trays or aligners, instead of metal brackets, your teeth can become straight in a much more realistic time scale.

Our Invisalign specialists will provide the best programme for you and will inform you of the duration of your case as well as the pricing options. With Invisalign, you could start seeing results in as little as a few weeks, depending on how complex your case is. However, the procedure usually takes around six months to be fully completed.

White Fillings

White Fillings are the best way to resolve Cavities, and Cavities occur if you don’t brush your teeth regularly. Additionally, if you already have Amalgam or Silver Fillings, or even old, worn-out fillings, we can replace them with a modern and tooth-coloured filling to achieve a better result. 

Cosmetic Dentistry in Selsdon offers White Fillings which are pretty much invisible to the naked eye, and the best part is that it can also make your teeth appear whiter and brighter. They prevent further decay of the surrounding tooth structure as the joins are sealed and restorations bonded to the tooth. We don’t just offer Porcelain Fillings; you can choose from any filling material.

Gum Line Correction

Gum Line Correction is a procedure for those who feel they have a ‘gummy smile’. This treatment helps enhance the appearance of your gums whilst creating a beautiful smile. Another treatment you may never have heard of is called ‘Gum Lifts’. This can also be used in conjunction with Veneers and Crowns. 

All-On-4

All-On-4 is a procedure that has earned the nickname of ‘Same Day, Same Teeth’. It’s a conventional implant that takes around six months with additional recovery time. This procedure is a fixed Bridge that is attached to the Dental Implant. Any remaining teeth you may have are extracted on the day of surgery, where 4-6 Implants will be placed, upper arch and lower. Before you go ahead with the procedure, our dental nurses will discuss all alternative treatment options with you.

This procedure is a more in-depth treatment, so if you feel like you will become nervous and anxious, we can arrange for you to have sedation on the day of surgery to help you feel more relaxed and at ease. The Implants will be placed; an Implant-retained Bridge will also be fitted, meaning you will leave the dentist with your ‘new smile’. Likewise, the aftercare of this treatment is detailed, and our dentists will provide you with complete care and advice.
