Cosmetic Dentistry For Enhanced Smiles

Cosmetic dentistry is any treatment or combination of treatments provided to enhance the way your teeth look. Of course, it may sometimes be that a dental treatment enhances both the function and the aesthetic of the smile too.

Cosmetic dentistry is something that patients choose to have with us at our NW8 clinic for many different reasons. Sometimes, it is to complete a smile restoration plan which has included lots of different treatments. Sometimes it is simply as a pick me up for a boost in confidence. This is especially common before a big event like a wedding or a big holiday where you expect to have lots of photos taken and you want to look your best. Many people also tend to naturally want to slim down, start skin maintenance and generally look their best for summer, usually because of the showing of more skin and lots of happy selfies out in the sunshine.

Here at Abbey Road Dental, we offer a range of cosmetic treatments that could help perfect your special day, or enhance your smile for summer and beyond. Here are our current cosmetic dentistry treatments on offer in St John’s Wood:

Smile Makeovers

Our skilled teams offer a smile makeover treatment which often involves the use of high-quality veneers to change the shape, size and shade of your most visible teeth. Veneers are relatively quick and require minimal preparation, so they’re a great choice if you want a breathtaking transformation with minimal time in the dentist’s chair. As a complete smile makeover we may to compliment the treatment with whitening and cosmetic bonding as well, just to ensure the entire look is complete.

Veneers

We also offer veneer as a treatment to change the way the teeth look incredibly quickly. It’s like a smile makeover, but includes veneers only, which can enhance the smile easily and quickly. If you have gappy teeth, stained teeth, small teeth or misaligned teeth, veneers can help.

SmileFast Composite Veneers

SmileFast Composite Veneers is an incredibly popular treatment plan that works with the social six front teeth only. It incorporates a range of techniques with composites to quickly transform the smile. It works with an initial consultation to check suitability and to take information to design your perfect smile. We will then give you lots of information and create a treatment plan to begin your smile transformation journey. Aside from plenty of preparation, the transformation procedure itself actually only takes around two hours to complete and we’re sure you’ll be pleased with the results!

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a quick and convenient way to enhance your smile, removing the staining and fading associated with a less aesthetically pleasing smile. For your convenience, we offer at-home whitening, in-surgery whitening or a combination of both. This ensures that you get excellent results, which can mean your teeth are lifted by several shades or more.

Icon White Spot Removal

White spots on the teeth are caused by a few different reasons, but tend to be harmless in terms of the health of the teeth overall. Visually, though, it’s natural for these kinds of blemishes to feel like they detract from the aesthetic appeal of your smile. The good news is that Icon White Spot Removal is a treatment we offer at Abbey Road Dental to blend the white spot in with the rest of the tooth. Whereas composite was previously used to cover the spots up and whitening simply makes the spot lighter than the surrounding tooth, this method is much gentler and generally more effective.

Hygienist Treatment

Hygienist treatment is an essential part of keeping your teeth clean, and managing or avoiding gum disease. It can also make your teeth look cleaner because the scale and polish process removes recent stains and gives the teeth a really natural boost. It’s a great idea to have a hygienist clean just before a summer holiday for that beautiful, clean and attractive smile you want.

Long-Term Treatments

Some treatments are designed to address more deep-seated dental issues and take longer to prepare and complete. These kinds of treatments may relate to a combination of benefits, both restoring the smile and enhancing how it looks too. If you’re looking for a long-term enhancement to your smile, the following treatments could be worth considering:

Dental Implants

If you have missing teeth and want the very best in missing teeth replacement, implants are certainly worth considering. Bridges and dentures can replace the teeth above the gum line, but implants replace the tooth root, which means that the bridge, implant or crown supported by the implant is secure and strong. It can take months to complete the treatment but when it is finished, it means a complete and beautiful smile to enjoy for a very long time – much longer than just the summer ahead!

Dental Treatment

Are you struggling with the health of your smile but you don’t know how to get help? If this is you, it may be that you have tried using non-dentist supplied whitening and even internet veneers to cover the problem and make the smile look better? In our opinion these DIY solutions are never a good idea and can actually be quite dangerous.

We want you to know that we are not here to judge, we are here to support you. The health of your smile should always come first and long-term, it will help preserve your natural teeth and keep you comfortable much longer than illegitimate cosmetic treatments.
