Should You Ask Your Dentist about Cosmetic Dentistry?

We all have that one part of our smile that we’re not quite happy about. Whether that be staining, discolouration, chips, misaligned teeth or just a gap, there are many ways this dentist in Handsworth, Birmingham can help you improve your smile.

There are plenty of different types of cosmetic treatments available, we’ve listed a few that might catch your interest if there’s a particular procedure that you just might have in mind.

Teeth Whitening

In our Sohal Dental Practice, one of the simplest and easiest treatments on offer is teeth whitening. This is perfect for getting rid of any staining or discolouration that might have accumulated from things like coffee, wine, tea or smoking.

There are various methods of teeth whitening and you can even do it in your home with a kit from your dentist in Handsworth, Birmingham since it’s a completely painless procedure. Which is great for anyone that might get anxious when they visit the practice.

Invisalign

Another recommendation from your favourite dentist in Handsworth, Birmingham is to try Invisalign. Similar to braces, Invisalign uses custom fitted see-through moulds that slowly adjust any misaligned or crooked teeth over a set period of time.

A unique benefit of this treatment is that you will get to see how your finished smile will look before you begin since we use a 3D image of your teeth to map out your progress. The braces can also be removed and are simple to clean, just use a little light brushing with a solution from your dentist and water to get it sparkling clean in no time at all.

Veneers

Another option to remedy stains and misshapen teeth are veneers. This treatment is popular with celebrities and involves a thin layer of porcelain being fitted over the surface of the teeth that you would like to fix giving you that perfect smile.

Also, thanks to how easy it is to fit, the whole process is relatively quick and depending on the type of tooth being fitted they can sometimes be performed at short notice. Perfect for fixing any sudden accidental chips that might occur.

Bonding

Bonding, or composite resin bonding, as it’s sometimes called is rapidly becoming one of the top procedures for fixing flaws. Similar to Veneers, a composite resin is shaped and then moulded to the area to create the appearance of smoother and whiter teeth. Also, you only need one bonding treatment to enjoy the finished results. Although we recommend still attending regular check-ups to keep an eye on the bonded area to make sure nothing is coming loose or there’s been no damage to the resin cast from general wear and tear.

These are just a few of the various cosmetic dentistry treatments we have available to our patients. If there’s anything about your smile you would like to change then don’t hesitate to book your next appointment and see what we can do for you to help you improve that winning smile.
