“I don’t want braces, can I still have a straight beautiful smile?”
Friday, December 11th, 2009“My teeth are all crooked and I really want to improve their appearance but I really don’t want braces; can I still have a beautiful smile?”
We get this question asked a lot. More than likely, yes. There are times where we have no choice but to resort to both options. If teeth are so misaligned we must first move them gently into position before veneering them. Only with careful analysis of tooth proportions and jaw dimensions are we able to determine that for certain. We have been able to help so many people who had absolutely refused braces without compromising the end result. Braces are not for everyone either. For various reasons sometimes braces would not even be the right choice to make a smile beautiful.
“How can I prevent my teeth from becoming discoloured?”
Monday, November 16th, 2009“I’ve had whitening done and I’m really happy with the results but I’m scared of them going back to how they were before. How can I prevent discoloration?”
- See your hygienist for professional cleaning at the recommended time intercal (usually every 3-6mths)
- If drinks have a high stain potential, use a straw
- Remember to brush shortly after you have foods or drinks that are highly staining. If you can’t, try to rinse with lots of water.
- Avoid abrasive toothpastes which may wear the enamel, exposing more of the darker substructure in your tooth (the dentine)
- Don’t smoke!
Finally, use your home whitening kit to give you a little boost occasionally!

“What are porcelain veneers?”
Friday, October 16th, 2009“Everytime I read a magazine, a celebrity is said to have had veneers. Ican see their teeth look nice, but what actually are porcelain veneers?”
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded over the front surface of the teeth. They are long lasting, stain-resistant and can be a very natural looking restoration. Porcelain is very versatile; it can be used to lengthen, widen and whiten. We customise them personally to you, choosing the exact shape, colour etc.
There’s a whole host of reasons patients may have porcelain veneers. Placed on misaligned crooked teeth they can give the appearance of perfectly straight teeth, they can cover stained, discolored teeth or be applied to whiten and brighten the entire smile. We can bond longer porcelain veneers to worn or chipped teeth to make them look younger and stronger. Or they can be made to match the surrounding existing teeth, too. We would need to see you for a consultation to determine exactly what it was you needed and whether veneers were a suitable option. Book today!
