“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.

“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!

“My teeth stick out. Is there anything that can be done?”

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

“I have buck teeth that stick out. I was offered braces when I was younger but wasn’t intested at the time. Is there anything that can be done now?!”

Certainly! Sometimes the solution may be as simple as recontouring and reshaping the teeth which can be done very quickly. Other times braces may be required to correct things, these could be traditional fixed braces, lingual appliances or even Invisalign. Cases of buck teeth may also be corrected with porcelain veneers/crowns and in some instances we may to do a combination of repositioning of teeth (with brace work) and then placing some veneers. As each situation is unique, we’ll have a better idea of the answer for you after a consultation. Call or email us to arrange this today!

Implants, Veneer, Crowns & Gum Treatment

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Steve, 30 from Ainsdale in Southport

To remove the pink acrylic that was replacing some missing gum, gum treatment was performed to match the gum level of the left front tooth to the right. A bridge was being used to replace a missing front tooth, this was replaced with an implant and some veneers and crowns were then placed.

“I would like to thank you so very much for giving me the confidence to go ahead with the implants and veneers. I am delighted with the results – my teeth look fantastic!

 

My particular thanks for being so understanding, as I am sure I am one of your most nervous and enquiring patients (with all the questions!)

 

Please pass on my thanks to your lovely team who were all so kind and supportive.”
