Complete Your Smile With Teeth Implants Essex

Smiling is an outward sign of self confidence. People tend to react more favourably if you smile at them. However if you have a gap in your teeth or they are chipped then you may feel nervous. This in turn can make it harder to socially interact as you deal with feeling self conscious. One option you may not have considered are teeth implants Essex.

What are teeth implants?

These are posts made of titanium that are placed where the tooth was originally set. If you have recently lost a tooth then you should get an implant as soon as possible because it then makes it easier for the implant to be placed where it used to be and have it set in more naturally. The implants can be installed in either the upper or lower arches as required.

Why would I want implants?

People often use implants as an alternative to dentures. If you have a tooth missing over time the muscles in your face starts to sag and this creates an older looking appearance.

Are they secure?

Implants are solid and designed to stay in place. So much so in fact that with proper care they should last at least fifteen to twenty years! Furthermore unlike dentures there is no slipping so they can be more convenient.

Will I need to change my daily routine?

Not at all! You can clean the implant in exactly the same way as you would when normally brushing your teeth. Because it is solidly installed in the mouth there are also no restrictions in terms of diet either so you do not have to worry when chewing a steak or munching on corn on the cob!

How can I be sure dental implants are right for me?

Cosmetic dentistry is not about getting people to buy a service because it is there or making someone look a bit prettier (although cosmetic dentistry does help with that) What a good cosmetic dental treatment should do is make people feel more confident while at the same time maintaining effective oral health.

Everyone is different and everyone has different needs when it comes to getting the right treatment. Talking with a cosmetic dentist will allow you to find out what options are available and decide what is best suited to you. Equally it is a good opportunity to talk about their qualifications, experience and any concerns regarding the treatment.

How Tooth Veneers Essex Can Benefit You

There are certain things people feel they wish they could change about their body, things that make them feel self conscious. One area where this is often happens is the teeth. Even if you are careful about how you clean your teeth it can be difficult to get them to a brilliant shine. One way of achieving this without using teeth whitening is tooth veneers Essex.

Why would I want tooth veneers?

As a cosmetic procedure tooth veneers can make teeth look more attractive by adding brighter colouring. This is achieved by placing wafer thin laminates over your teeth.

Other benefits include-

  • Covering chipped or broken teeth for a more complete look
  • Hiding gaps between teeth
  • Cover up misshapen teeth
  • Durable and long lasting treatment that usually does not require any additional procedures in order to be effective
  • Held in place by a very strong bonding agent so you don’t have to worry about them slipping off mid latte!

However looks are not the only aspect of how procedures like this can be beneficial. We associate people who smile with people who are positive and people are more likely to want to smile if they are confident with how their teeth look.

This has a knock on effect as people are more likely to smile and be positive around you if you are confident around them.

How does the procedure work?

The procedure is relatively quick, usually only requiring two visits to complete after the first consultation. The first visit is when the tooth is prepared with a tiny amount of enamel removed in order to get an appropriate veneer.

The second visit is when the veneer gets bonded to the teeth. In case you are worried about it looking fake or overly bright don’t! Your dentist will look at your teeth and choose a shade that is close to your natural shade but will make it look a bit brighter in order to get a good effect without making them excessively bright so that the only people who will know if you have had “work done” will be the people who look close up at your face!

How do I know if tooth veneers are right for me?

Talking with a cosmetic dentist during an initial consultation will help you decide if tooth veneers are appropriate for you. The cosmetic dentist will do scans to check your oral health and to ensure that the treatment is best suited to your needs. Furthermore it is a good opportunity for you to find out more about them and learn more about their skills and experience.

How You Can Benefit From Dental Implants Essex

The term cosmetic dentistry often suggests something that is an added luxury. However in a lot of cases these procedures can also be beneficial to your oral health and can be effective in combating a lot of long term problems. A good example of an effective long term treatment is dental implants Essex.

Give me an example of why I might need a dental implant.

If you are someone who is very active then there is always the risk of injury at some point. A good example is if you play a team sport such as football. You may be running alongside someone and when you both go for the ball and jump their elbow knocks against your cheek, causing you to chip or lose a tooth.

The sooner you get the implant instead of leaving a gap the easier it will be to have a complete mouth again without feeling self conscious. And because it is titanium it is not going to come loose easily!

How can I benefit from dental implants?

  • Get better support for dentures, bridges and crowns
  • Fix chipped, broken or missing teeth
  • Can be used as an alternative to dentures
  • Help to prevent the muscles in the face from sagging and maintain a healthy jaw line.
  • Once installed they can be cleaned and looked after in the same way as a regular tooth.

 

 

How does the process work?

Before any procedure starts the cosmetic dentist should have an initial consultation with you. This gives them the chance to assess your oral health and decide if dental implants are an appropriate option for you, usually after some scans have been done.

The procedure itself takes around three to six months. The dentist fuses the implant to the jawbone, using a temporary tooth to ensure that the roots will fuse with the implant. After the procedure is complete the implant is then inserted.

How long does an implant last?

As with any form of dental procedure the length of time depends on how well you look after your teeth after the procedure is done. Provided you keep cleaning your teeth and the implant in the right way the implant should stay in for at least 15 to 20 years!

A cosmetic dentist specialise in smile makeovers. Over time people can feel nervous about smiling, whether their teeth have been discoloured, chipped and so forth. A massive problem people have is misaligned teeth. With Six Month Smiles in Essex it is possible to correct this.

What are Six Month Smiles?

Six month smiles are braces that you wear over a six month period. Whereas “normal” braces can take between two to three years to be effective this is a lot quicker.

I don’t want to have a cattle grid on my face for six months!

Don’t worry! People often think of the exaggerated braces in cartoons and television series that are often deliberately exaggerated for comic effect. In reality the technology has advanced so that most braces do not look that noticeable.

Furthermore Six Month Smiles are even more discreet. The reason for this is that they are clear. While they are indeed metal like other braces the colour means you can only really see they are on your face if people look closely.

How do they work?

There are two reasons why six month braces are effective. One is the nickel titanium wire used in the braces. The other reason is the system shifts prominent teeth, allowing the alignment process to work a lot quicker than other braces.

Aside from quickness what are the other advantages of Six Month Smiles?

The main advantages as well as speed are the fact that they are very discreet and hard to detect. However speed and discretion should not be you sole consideration. Safety and quality is also something you need to think about. More importantly the process is very safe and has had proven results!

Some people may also be concerned about the cost. With this kind of procedure time is money and the less time spent on treatment the less it costs!

You can talk about what you want from the treatment, your budget and any other concerns or issues. With the right treatment you can enjoy a smile makeover in Essex!

Cosmetic Treatments Available In Essex

People often dream about being able to afford makeovers, plastic surgery and so forth.

Below are a few examples of the treatments available to you.

Tooth whitening

Yes there are toothpastes and home kits that offer whitening. However the toothpastes offer a limited amount of whitening and you need to be very careful with home based kits, both in terms of making sure they are genuine and (more importantly) safe.

Professional teeth whitening will be done with your oral health in mind so can be both safer and more effective. They can also offer advice on how to improve your oral health so that you can ensure stains do not undo their good work!

Non Surgical Face Lifts

Yes you did read that correctly! You do not need surgery in order to get a facelift. With professionally administered injections of botox you can smooth out wrinkles on the face. While often thought of as something that works on the forehead, it equally works on smoothing out lines and wrinkles around the eyes and the midsection of the face too.

Dermal fillers

These are used to restore plumpness in the skin. This is often especially useful for older people as the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin fall, creating dryness and increasing the appearances of lines and wrinkles. The process is very safe and painless, so you can be assured you will get gain without pain!

 

 

Juvederm

Skin tends to dry out as it gets older. One way of restoring it is by using a gel filler called Juvederm. This product is particularly effective at smoothing out wrinkles and last for up to a year!

Getting The Best Tooth Whitening In Essex

Teeth whitening sounds like something only celebrities can get. It sounds like a luxury treatment. However now you can get tooth whitening in Essex so you can enjoy the full benefit of a brighter smile!

Healthy teeth

The first thing to say is that if your teeth are not perfectly white this does not mean you have unhealthy teeth. The appearance is not necessarily a reflection of oral health. Likewise someone with naturally white teeth should still make sure they are properly looked after.

Better appearance

However if your teeth are discoloured it can have an impact. We associate smiling with being positive and if you are worried about the look of your teeth you may be less inclined too. This can make it harder to talk to people and can have a very real impact on your self confidence.

With whiter teeth people tend to feel more relaxed and more willing to smile. It can make a massive difference!

 

 

Choose a professional

It may be tempting to read this and think “but you can get tooth whitening kits on the high street.” While this is true and some are effective you do need to be careful while using them.

You can get more effective results using the services of a professional. Furthermore some whitening kits can only be used by professional cosmetic dentists due to restrictions on the ingredients used in them that need to be handled carefully.

No fakeness

One potential concern people can have is an overly slick looking set of pearly whites, the oral equivalent of a neon orange fake tan! In practise this does not happen because a cosmetic dentist can gradually improve the shades of your teeth to create a brighter but also a more natural and healthy look to your teeth.

Learn more

The effectiveness of your teeth whitening will depend on your oral health. Therefore before whitening you may want to consider stopping smoking and cutting down on coffee, red wine and other things that can stain teeth (as well as other additional health benefits!)

This can all be discussed during a free consultation with the cosmetic dentist. Everyone is different and a good practitioner will look at your personal situation and decide what treatment is appropriate. It is also a good time to talk to them about the procedure and any questions and concerns you may have.

The Benefits Of A Cosmetic Dentist In Essex

There are numerous reasons why you may want to use the services of a cosmetic dentist. For example think of any of these situations have ever applied to you:-

  • Do you ever avoid having your picture taken because you feel self conscious?
  • You have tried whitening toothpaste and home whitening kits but still want whiter teeth.
  • You accidentally chipped or lost a tooth in an accident and now have a gap.
  • You are looking for alternatives to dentures.

 

All of these situations and more can be dealt with by a cosmetic dentist in Essex. Let’s look at each one and see what can be done with cosmetic dental treatments.

Dealing with self consciousness

The way you deal with this depends on why you feel self conscious. For example if teeth are discoloured you may want to consider a laminate like the Snap On Smile placed over the teeth. This often helps people to relax.

If you have teeth that point out a bit then you may want to smooth them over with tooth contouring. This is often done in conjunction with teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening

This process is often misunderstood. There is the fear of an overly fake look. In reality a cosmetic dentist will look at the natural shading of your teeth and improve it. Tooth whitening often improves teeth by a couple of shades, something that the dentist can show you during an initial consultation.

Chipped or lost teeth

If you have lost a tooth it is important to get treatment as soon as possible. The reason is that the nerve endings where the tooth used to be can close up, making it harder to put an implant in there later on.

The good news is if you can get an implant in there you can often use them in exactly the same way as a regular tooth and should not impair what you eat, how you brush your teeth and so forth.

Alternatives to dentures

There are a number of alternatives if you do not want to use adhesives. Implants and Invisalign detachable trays can be used to straighten the teeth without having to worry about anything coming loose while eating food, jogging and so forth!

 

 

The right treatment for you

How do you know what cosmetic dental treatment is right for you? It’s simple- go to a professional and talk to them. They can go over the options so you can find something appropriate for your needs.
