Professional Teeth Whitening for a whiter smile

A whiter smile gives that extra confidence and boosts self-esteem. Professional Teeth Whitening is an effective and safe way of lightening the natural colour of teeth.

Therefore by choosing Philips Zoom Professional Teeth Whitening by our dentist, you can be assured of powerful yet safe results.

How does professional teeth whitening work?

The whitening gel penetrates the porous enamel layer of teeth. Internal stain molecules break down through oxidation. This results in a whiter tooth colour.

What is the teeth whitening process?

• Our dentist will assess your mouth so we can advise if teeth whitening is suitable for you. We will discuss the different options.
• Philips Zoom NiteWhite professional take-home tray system, under the supervision of a dentist, is the preferred system. It has many advantages, including more stable long-term results.
• We take impressions of your teeth and make custom mouth trays.
• The custom mouth trays are fitted, ensuring they are comfortable. You are provided with the whitening gel with instructions and shown how to use. You will leave the clinic with all you need to start achieving a whiter smile.
• Visible results are usually seen within a few days.
• You are reviewed by our dentist 2 to 3 weeks after the start of treatment.

However, a simple top-up procedure can help to maintain the initial results. Usually, application of whitening gel for 1 or 2 days is sufficient. Whitening gel syringes are purchased from the clinic. Good homecare allows results to be maintained for longer. Avoid smoking and reduce the consumption of certain foods and drinks. Limit the intake of red wine, turmeric, coffee and tea. Regular dental hygiene professional cleanings will help avoid stain build up and maintain your white smile.

Teeth whitening for sensitive teeth: Is it safe?

Yes. Professional teeth whitening is a safe procedure when provided by our dentist. Patients who have sensitive teeth prior to teeth whitening are more likely to have sensitivity during the process. This can be managed by the use of certain toothpastes and other simple procedures we recommend before the whitening process. Philips Zoom NiteWhite also has the advantage of containing special ingredients. These help reduce sensitivity and protect the enamel. Your initial consultation and exam allow us to assess if you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening.

Adhesive Bridge Front Tooth

Replace missing tooth with a dental adhesive bridge …

Missing a tooth, especially a front tooth, can affect appearance. It can also affect our ability to talk and eat properly. There are a number of tooth replacement options to replace a missing tooth. Often a single front missing tooth may be replaced with a denture, adhesive bridge or dental implant.

These options are discussed during a consultation with our experienced, friendly dentist. Each option has it’s advantages and disadvantages, and we help patients understand them. Many patients prefer to avoid the denture option because they want a tooth fixed into the mouth instead of removing a denture. Many patients also want to avoid the surgery, time and costs involved with a fixed dental implant. For these patients, an adhesive bridge may be an excellent solution for fixing a single false tooth to replace a missing front tooth.

What is an Adhesive Bridge?

An adhesive bridge is a false tooth that is fixed to the neighbouring natural tooth, to fill the gap of the missing tooth. The false tooth is usually made of porcelain bonded to metal. There is a metal wing that is bonded to the inside of the natural tooth. Adhesive bridges are also known as resin-bonded bridges or Maryland bridges. They are conservative and a minimally invasive treatment option to replace a missing tooth.

Before and After Photos of Adhesive Bridge

Dental Cantilever Bridges

What is the procedure for placing an Adhesive Bridge?

It is first assessed and confirmed with a consultation and x-rays, that an adhesive bridge is suitable. Following this, the treatment usually takes 2 visits, about 2 weeks apart.

Firstly a mould impression is taken of the teeth. This is sent to the dental laboratory, where the custom adhesive bridge is made. A dental shade is also taken so the adhesive bridge can match the colour of the natural teeth as close as possible.

In the second visit, the bridge is fitted by bonding it in place.

How long does an Adhesive Bridge last?

They can last a few years depending on how well they are looked after. The better they are looked after, the longer they will last. Sometimes they last over well over 5 years.

What are the advantages of an Adhesive Bridge vs Dental Implant?

A dental implant requires invasive surgery. It also is time consuming and can take months to up to a year to complete treatment. Dental implants are known to be expensive, with average prices ranging between £2000 and £2500. Hence a dental implant is far more costly than an adhesive bridge.

An adhesive bridge does not involve invasive surgery. It is conservative and also does not involve extensive drilling of the tooth like conventional bridges. Treatment is completed within a matter of weeks at a lot lower price. Therefore they are a much more affordable, simpler and quicker option to replace a missing tooth than a dental implant.

How much does an Adhesive Bridge cost?

For majority of patients the price for an adhesive bridge is between £650 to £750.

Before and After images of dental bonding to repair damaged teeth

Benefits of Dental Bonding instead of metal amalgam fillings …

Metal fillings can be unsightly and visible when smiling. Silver amalgam fillings also contain mercury. Parts of the tooth around the filling may break in future. 

With dental bonding, the bonded composite material can strengthen the remaining tooth structure. Therefore reducing the chances of further breakage. Composite materials used in dental bonding are tooth coloured and therefore are not so visible. Often they blend into the surrounding tooth so well that it’s difficult to tell that the tooth has been repaired. 

Benefits of Dental Bonding instead of Crowns and Veneers …

Teeth are prepared prior to placing crowns or veneers. This involves drilling and cutting the tooth to shape it for the veneer or crown to fit.  After the tooth is drilled and cut, a mould impression is taken of the tooth. This is then sent to the dental laboratory for the crown or veneer to be made. 

A second visit is required, usually a couple of weeks later, to fit the crown or veneer. The crown or veneer is cemented in place. Veneers are thin pieces of material so are fragile. They can break over time or come off. If they are damaged, they may have to be replaced, resulting in more costs and time. Teeth that have been drilled for crowns or veneers are at risk of dying over time due to pulp damage. This means the tooth may have to be root filled or worse still may not be restorable and will require extraction.

Dental bonding of composites usually avoids drilling and cutting teeth. It is a conservative way to repair a tooth without causing damage to the tooth. 

The Dental Bonding procedure …

The tooth is cleaned and conditioned. A bonding agent is applied and light cured.White composite filling material is placed within the cavity hole or added to the tooth to build it back up, and light cured. We try to restore the tooth back to it’s original form. Often the repair is not visible.

It is a conservative and comfortable treatment option because the composite is bonded to the tooth thereby avoiding any cutting of the tooth whenever possible. It normally does not require any local anaesthetic, so no injections in the mouth, unless there is tooth decay.

How much is Dental Bonding? 

Prices range from £110 to £280.

Composite bonding to close gaps without braces

Close a gap between teeth …

Do you have gaps between your front teeth and wish they were gone? 

Would you like to improve your smile but either don’t want or can’t afford braces or veneers? 

If yes, then composite bonding may be the solution. Direct composite restorations are a simple, affordable alternative to braces and veneers to close a gap between teeth. This modern technique of dental bonding adds composite to the teeth, without drilling or cutting the teeth.

Before and After images of composite bonding to close a gap between teeth

Benefits of Composite Bonding instead of braces or Invisalign …

Many people avoid having braces or Invisalign because they’re expensive. Also the treatment can take a long time. Often it can take months or years to complete the treatment. Braces can also be visible when smiling, even Invisalign or other clear retainers. They can also be uncomfortable to wear.

After brace treatment, relapse can occur. This is when the teeth move back. Hence to avoid this, retention is required. This can be in the form of a permanent wire stuck to the inside of the teeth or having to wear retainers for years.

Composite dental bonding can avoid a lot of the problems with braces, and they give same day results at a much lower cost. Therefore making them an affordable way to close a gap between teeth.

Composite dental bonding avoids drilling and cutting teeth. It is a conservative way to close a gap between teeth without causing damage to the teeth. It is also far more affordable than veneers, and a lot easier to repair if need be.

The Composite Bonding procedure to close a gap between teeth …

White composite filling material is bonded directly to the tooth side. The same is done to the next tooth. This  changes the shape of both teeth and results in the closure of a gap between the teeth. 

It is a conservative and comfortable treatment option because the composite is bonded to the tooth thereby avoiding any cutting of the tooth. It normally does not require any local anaesthetic, so no injections in the mouth.

How much is Composite Bonding to close a gap between teeth?

Prices usually range from £450 to £490 to close the gap between the top front two teeth. Thereby a cost effective treatment choice instead of higher costing braces or veneers.

What Makes a Child-Friendly Dentist?

Caring for baby teeth …

When to bring your child to the dentist?

You should bring your child to the dentist from a young age. That way they get used to the environment and are relaxed when attending future visits.

When do baby teeth grow?

Baby teeth usually start breaking through the gums at around 6 months of age. The teething process may continue on until about 2-3 years by which time they will usually have 20 baby teeth.

Growing teeth can often cause discomfort. Chilled teething rings may help soothe the sore gums. DO NOT place anything sweet on the teething ring.Dummies should also be avoided as they can become a habit that can affect the alignment of teeth.

Adult teeth start growing from around the age of 6 to 7 years. Baby teeth begin falling out and are replaced by adult teeth. This process is usually complete by the early teens.

How to clean baby teeth?

• Parents/carers should brush or supervise toothbrushing.
• As soon as teeth grow into the mouth, brush them twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste. If it’s difficult to use a toothbrush, consider using a guaze or flannel to at least wipe teeth rather than not cleaning them at all.
• Brush morning and last thing at night.
• Use a soft toothbrush designed for young children and brush for about 2 minutes gently in small circular motions.
• Use age specific fluoridated toothpaste. Only apply a smear of toothpaste, as it’s unlikely your child will be able to spit out properly.

How to avoid tooth decay in baby teeth?

• Breast feeding provides the best nutrition for babies.
• Introduce infants from the age of six months to drinking from a free-flow cup. Once your child is one year’s old try to discourage feeding from a bottle.
• Sugar should not be added to weaning foods or drinks.
• Reduce the frequency and amount of sugary food and drinks. Try to get your little one into good habits from a young age. Milk or water between meals are better options.
• If your child needs to take medication, try to give them sugar-free medicines.

How to prevent Bad Breath

Ways to avoid Bad Breath

Bad breath, also known as Halitosis, is a common problem, with many people being affected. Sometimes a person may not even be aware they have bad breath until they’re told, which can be embarrassing. However there are ways to help prevent bad breath.

What are the symptoms of bad breath ?

A consistent bad smell from the mouth. Usually noticed when speaking, eating or breathing through the mouth. There can also be an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Some people experience a dry mouth or can see a white coating on the tongue.

What causes bad breath ?

There are a number of causes of bad breath. The most common cause is bacteria in plaque and around the mouth. The bacteria release odours that cause the bad breath. Plaque containing bacteria is often seen coating teeth and around the gums. It may also coat the tongue. Inadequate oral hygiene allows plaque bacteria to sit in the mouth for some time, resulting in bad breath. There may also be food lodged between teeth due to poor dental hygiene. Bad breath can also indicate gum disease or tooth decay, as plaque bacteria cause gum disease as well as tooth decay. If gum disease is not treated, it may lead to tooth loss. If tooth decay progresses, the tooth may not be able to be repaired and will require extraction.

Smoking is also a common cause of bad breath. Tar and nicotine is deposited in the mouth. Smoking has the effect of frying the mouth and reducing saliva, resulting in bad breath.

Certain foods can cause bad breath. Onions and garlic are well known foods that leave an odour in the mouth after eating them.

Dry mouth due to smoking or medical health conditions. Problems with tonsils may also be a cause of bad breath.

Bad breath treatment ?

When you attend the dentist, we check the inside of your mouth including your teeth and gums. If you suffer from bad breath, we can help work out the cause of it and treat it appropriately. We check for gum disease and tooth decay.

A professional teeth cleaning is an effective treatment for bad breath, since plaque and tartar build up is the most common cause of bad breath. During a dental hygiene appointment, plaque and tartar is removed. Stains can also be removed. Bespoke homecare advice, tailored to each specific patient is given, so the mouth can be maintained.

Having your teeth professionally cleaned on a regular basis will help to prevent gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath.

Daily effective plaque removal can eliminate and prevent bad breath. We will let you know areas where you’re missing when cleaning your teeth. We show you the correct techniques for toothbrushing and cleaning in between your teeth and recommend oral hygiene products that will help you to remove the plaque.

What can I do to avoid bad breath?

Broken front tooth repair with composite

Broken front tooth repair …

Don’t panic if you have a broken front tooth, it can be repaired. Dental bonding is a modern technique for tooth repair. It involves building a tooth up with composite material.

At Dentael, we offer modern adhesive dentistry. So if you need a broken front tooth repair with composite dental bonding, give us a call. We are here to help.

Why repair broken front tooth with dental bonding?

Dental bonding involves building a tooth back up to the original form using a composite material that is bonded to the broken tooth. In many cases we can avoid drilling and cutting the tooth. The more a tooth is drilled or cut, the more likely there may be nerve damage. This can result in the tooth dying or tooth pain. The tooth would then require root canal treatment . If root canal treatment is unsuccessful the tooth may require extraction.

Crowns and veneers require the tooth to be drilled so that it can be shaped for the crown or veneer to fit. This increases the chances of the tooth needing root canal treatment in future. Since dental bonding involves no, or only very little drilling of the tooth, it is less likely of the tooth requiring root canal treatment at a later date. Hence a composite dental bonding repair is a much better option than a crown or veneer.
