Love is in the air this month in the run-up to Valentine’s Day, and our question for you is, how much do you love your smile? A lot of people are embarrassed about their smiles, for a wide variety of reasons. Missing teeth, crooked teeth, teeth that are chipped, stained or discoloured; there are all kinds of reasons why our patients say they hide their smile away.

At Wimbledon Dental Care we believe everyone deserves a smile to be proud of. That’s why we offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments to help give you confidence back in your smile. Why not show your teeth some love and book a cosmetic dentistry consultation with one of our experienced dentists?

Cosmetic dentistry covers a wide range of treatments, from quick and simple procedures such as teeth whitening and stain removal to orthodontics and restorations for damaged or missing teeth, such as crowns or bridges.

Here are a selection of cosmetic dental treatments on offer at Wimbledon Dental Care (visit our Cosmetic Dental section on the website for a full list of treatments):

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening uses special bleaching agents to remove stains from on and in teeth. It should only be carried out by a qualified dental professional. We use the Zoom system, which is gentle, safe and has had 100% success rate at our practice.

White fillings

More accurately called tooth-coloured fillings, these are made of a strong composite material that is closely matched to the natural shade of your tooth, meaning they will blend in and be unnoticeable, as well as durable.

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can disguise mild cracks and chips, staining and slightly gappy or crooked teeth. Treatment is minimally invasive and produces a gorgeous smile to be proud of.

Are you slightly dissatisfied with your smile? If so you might have wondered how cosmetic dentistry in Wimbledon could help. In fact Wimbledon Dental Care offers a range of cosmetic dental treatments to help improve the appearance of your teeth. Treatments that might be useful include white fillings, porcelain inlays and onlays, beautiful porcelain veneers and teeth whitening.

If your teeth are slightly crooked then we may suggest teeth straightening, as this is often a quick and straightforward process using Six Months Smiles in Wimbledon, a cosmetic braces system that concentrates on only moving teeth that are visible. The beauty of having cosmetic dentistry is that often it only requires small changes to make a big difference.

Finding out More about Our Cosmetic Dentistry

If you are interested in finding out more about cosmetic dentistry and it’s best to book an appointment with our principal dentist, Dr Kultej Sihra in Wimbledon as he can gently examine your teeth and gums before recommending the most suitable treatments. It could be all that’s required is a simple hygiene appointment to professionally clean your teeth, followed by perhaps tooth whitening and renewing any old or stained fillings with white fillings. We use the very latest tooth coloured composite resins to mend teeth; this material is very hard wearing and creates beautiful results. Our inlays and onlays are made from porcelain and are ideal for repairing larger areas of decay in your back teeth. You’d be amazed at the difference a few nice white fillings can make, particularly when they are used to replace older style silver amalgams.

Porcelain veneers are ideal for covering up teeth that are too badly stained to respond to tooth whitening, or which might be chipped. They can also be used to close up or minimise spaces in between your teeth.

Wimbledon Dental Care uses Zoom whitening to lift stains from your teeth, creating results that can lost an average of two years. This treatment includes custom-fitting whitening trays that can be used to top up the results. Zoom whitening is one of the best known and safest whitening systems on the market and treatment should be very comfortable with few, if any side effects.

Using a Combination of Treatments to Get a Perfect Smile

Quite often a combination of different treatments will work best and may well be the most conservative option. For example, we might suggest using Six Months Smiles to straighten your teeth before perfecting the results with perhaps teeth whitening, dental bonding or porcelain veneers in Wimbledon.

Using braces to straighten your teeth first is far more advantageous than cutting down your teeth to crown or veneer them in order to change their position and will help preserve the maximum amount of healthy tooth structure. Once your teeth are straightened, it’s usually a simple matter of perhaps veneering or crowning one or two teeth that might be a less than perfect shape or which are perhaps damaged due to trauma or decay. As dental professionals, we will always recommend more conservative choices that we feel will help your natural teeth last as long as possible. This may also be the option that is cheaper in the longer term.

An appointment with our dentist will soon determine the best way to enhance your smile, so why not call us on 020 8946 6546 today.
