Visiting our dentist in Birmingham is easy as ABC!

At Sohal Dental Practice, we want all of our patients to have healthy and beautiful smiles, which is why we follow ABC dentistry. ABC stands for align, brighten, and contour. It is a handy little acronym that we like to use to sum up the treatments that our dentist in Birmingham can offer. We know that alongside the general dentistry that we provide, many patients will also want their teeth realigned, brightened using teeth whitening treatments, as well as contouring to make their smile uniform and attractive. With the latest technology and techniques at our disposal, our experienced team is ready to help you achieve the smile of your daydreams as well.

Align

For realigning your smile, you may be able to have a discreet treatment such as Invisalign. This is a system of aligners that are virtually invisible to other people. The aligners push the teeth gradually into the correct position and they are able to achieve the results in around 6 to 18 months. They are made bespoke for you, so they should also be comfortable to wear. Once your mouth has been scanned for the measurements, we can also show you an animation of how wonderful your smile will look once the treatment has been completed, before we even get started! The great thing about Invisalign is the fact that you are able to take the aligners out for eating and cleaning your teeth. You have up to 2 hours, so there is plenty of time each day to also have them out for other things like playing sports. There is a special range for teenagers, Invisalign Teen, and Invisalign is ideal for anyone who has mild or moderate alignment issues, such as crossbite, over and underbites, crowded, or gapped teeth.

Brighten

For brightening your teeth, we offer two treatments. The first is Enlighten Smiles Whitening. This is a treatment that can lighten teeth by up to 16 shades, and it guarantees a Vita B1 Shade. This involves having custom made trays for your mouth. You will be provided with whitening gel to put into the trays, after using a special toothpaste to reduce sensitivity in your teeth. You will then need to wear the trays for two weeks, while you are sleeping. You will be required to come in to see us for a final 1 hour treatment with us for a final boost.

The other treatment we offer is a more gentle one called Boutique Whitening. This again involves the whitening trays being worn for a fortnight at home. You can then keep the trays to use for any top-up, maintenance sessions that you need to have and our dentist in Birmingham will be able to advise on this.

Contour

There are different ways that you can change the shape of your teeth. One of them is to have composite bonding. This is a type of veneer that uses composite bonding resin to repair small chips or cracks in your teeth, as well as making teeth appear a different size or shape. It is a quick solution and only requires one appointment. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, require a couple of appointments, but they do typically last longer. They involve having a porcelain shaped shell, like a false nail, being manufactured for you. This will need to be sent away for, after impressions have been taken. The size and shade of the veneer can be chosen to suit your smile and often these are used for all of the front teeth for a beautiful finish.

Consultation

Whatever treatment you require, come and see our dentist in Birmingham to discuss your concerns. We can’t wait to get started on treating your teeth to ensure you have a healthy, beautiful, and most importantly, happy smile!
