Put an end to dull or stained teeth with teeth whitening from Chepstow dentists

If you find that your teeth have become dull or stained you may want to ask your Chepstow dentist about the various teeth whitening procedures which are available. Teeth can lose their natural sparkle for a number of reasons. Smoking tobacco and drinking red wine and cola can stain your teeth and having a generally poor diet can have the same effect. The aging process itself will probably lead to your teeth becoming increasingly dull in colour just as your hair loses its sheen over time. There are a number of ways to correct this and restore the whiteness of your smile, usually involving a bleaching process. Your dentist might recommend a simple scale and polish which removes the staining from your teeth but if your teeth have become dull in shade you may wish to go further. Laser teeth whitening carried out by your dentist involves the application of whitening gel which is activated by a special light shone on your teeth. This is a potentially powerful process that can have side effects such as increased sensitivity but the results can be an incredibly white smile where before your teeth were stained and lacking in shine. Home whitening kits mean that you can carry out the procedure yourself by wearing trays filled with whitening gel while you sleep or during the day. The results gained are often not as dramatic as laser teeth whitening but they are more affordable and you won’t have to make as many appointments with your dentist. Talk to your dentist for more information about tooth whitening as some of the more powerful procedures are not suitable for those with gum diseases or particularly sensitive teeth.

Dental veneers from Chepstow dentists create stunning smiles

Feeling ashamed or embarrassed about any aspect of your personal appearance can knock your self-esteem and make social situations awkward. Given that your smile is often the first thing that people see, it is important that you get a long lasting solution to any issues you have with the appearance of your teeth. The veneers which Chepstow dentists now offer can restore the natural look of your teeth in a simple procedure and, once fixed, can be cared for like normal teeth. They can be made from ceramics, composite bonding materials or porcelain for the best results and fit neatly over your stained, crooked or damaged teeth. If you opt for porcelain veneers they can be designed and fitted in just one afternoon. They are often described as contact lenses for teeth because they are so incredibly thin. This means that hardly any work is required to attach them. In fact, the advent of CEREC technology means that your new dental veneer can be fabricated in just over five minutes. Your dentist will take a digital image of your affected teeth which is sent to an online milling factory which will craft the veneer while you wait. Once the area has been thoroughly cleaned by your dentist, an etching agent is applied to ensure that the dental bonding has maximum grip to the existing teeth. Once the veneer is attached, you will be amazed at how natural it looks. Your dentist is able to match the veneer to your existing teeth in terms of colour, texture and even translucence. Ask your Chepstow dentist today about how veneers can put an end to your embarrassing crooked, stained or damaged teeth.

Experience the power of Lumineer veneers at Chepstow dentist

There are a number of companies that manufacture dental veneers. One of the biggest and most popular is Cerinate. Their most recent addition to the market is Lumineer veneers. Lumineers are a special type of incredibly thin veneer that can be used to reshape your smile and enhance the colour of stained teeth. They are also perfect for unevenly spaced and worn down teeth. What is it that makes Lumineers different from any other dental veneer available? Well, firstly they are made of very thin yet tough porcelain that is about the same width as a contact lens. This means that little preparation work is needed before application. In fact there is very seldom a need to remove any of the teeth’s natural enamel, which can happen with some other laboratory-manufactured veneers. This also means that the whole process is completely reversible should you at any point need to remove the veneers without damaging the teeth. Lumineers are so thin they can be placed directly over the top of existing dental restorations such as porcelain crowns and other veneers. This comes in very handy when the veneers themselves begin to develop stains after about fifteen years. Whereas some other veneers would need to be ground down or forcibly removed before the application of fresh veneers, Lumineers can simply be placed over the top. Not all dentists offer Lumineer veneers because they have to be registered as an official representative of Lumineers. However, dentists in Chepstow offer Lumineers to restore the appearance of your teeth to give you the bright, even and healthy smile you have always wanted.

Swindon dentist restores smile and confidence with cosmetic dentistry

There are many types of cosmetic dentistry available for patients of all budgets and with all conditions of teeth. Over the last twenty years technology has allowed an amazing improvement in the nature of cosmetic dental treatments to the point that there are now very few patients who could not benefit greatly from a cosmetic treatment. This improvement in treatment has been echoed by a reduction in price. As many treatments are now more easily performed, they are also more cost-effective. This has opened up the world of cosmetic dentistry to many more patients. Cosmetic dentistry has also benefited from increased exposure on the many and multifarious television makeover shows, which advertise just exactly what kind of level of improvement is possible. One of the most popular and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments is tooth whitening. This involves placing a special whitening gel in contact with the enamel, to bleach any patches of discolouration or staining. This can yield stunning results with teeth being made up to ten shades whiter. With treatments starting from as little as sixty pounds, there is now every reason to ask your Swindon dentist about teeth whitening. Other cosmetic dental procedures include ceramic restoration such as veneers and crowns. These can improve the appearance of stained, misaligned and worn teeth helping to improve the appearance of your smile. Although slightly more expensive than some other treatments, they are also capable of transforming the appearance of teeth in as little as one appointment. Ask your dentist at your next check up about which of the cosmetic treatments would be most suitable for your teeth. They will also be able to give you a clearer indication of the price for each individual procedure.
