Teeth whitening: a guide to brightening up your smile

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the UK. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, we offer two options for those interested in teeth whitening treatment – both guaranteed to leave you with a brighter, whiter smile in a very short space of time.

teeth-whiteningThere are numerous causes of tooth discolouration. As a survey carried out for National Smile Month 2016 the Oral Health Foundation found that 64% of people who disliked some aspect of their current smile cited the colour of their teeth as their number-one bugbear.

The same survey also discovered that 66% of the adult population in the UK have visible dental plaque. Plaque adds an unsightly yellow or brown hue to the teeth and is responsible for the nation’s two biggest oral health problems: tooth decay and gum disease. Therefore, it is essential to fight it.

Dental plaque is easily avoidable, and can be removed by your dentist or hygienist if it has been allowed to build up. A hygiene appointment at our Buckinghamshire practice is all that is required to get rid of plaque staining, with a professional scale and polish. Your hygienist will also provide you with fully customised advice designed to improve your home brushing and flossing techniques, to reduce the risk of the problem happening again.

Buckinghamshire teeth whitening

At our Buckinghamshire clinic we often meet patients who, despite having good oral hygiene practices, still have stained or discoloured teeth.

Numerous lifestyle factors can cause tooth staining: drinks such as tea and coffee, habits such as smoking, some medicines and medicated mouth washes can all stain your teeth. Teeth whitening from a dentist is an effective way of removing these stains and restoring a naturally brighter, whiter appearance to the teeth.

A dentist must always be consulted for teeth whitening, to ensure that your treatment is safe, effective, and efficient.

At Garden View in Buckinghamshire, you have two choices for teeth whitening:

Home teeth whitening takes two weeks, and you carry out the treatment at home under your dentist’s direction.

Power teeth whitening involves a single, hour-long session here in our Buckinghamshire clinic.

Cosmetic dentistry and restorative treatment explored: veneers, crowns and inlays and onlays

With cosmetic dentistry, your dentist will find the ideal treatment to suit your wants needs, whatever they may be. Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire offers a large number of cosmetic treatment options, provided by highly experienced cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani.

cosmetic-dentistryMany people dislike their current smile, so if you are among the 70 plus per cent of people who are unhappy being asked to smile in photographs, why not come to our Buckinghamshire clinic for a cosmetic dentistry consultation? We will work with you to find the perfect smile solution.

Here, we look at the restorative side of cosmetic dentistry. At Garden View in Buckinghamshire we offer beautiful and realistic looking cosmetic veneers, crowns, and inlays, as well as the ability to replace old metal amalgam fillings with more aesthetically pleasing tooth-coloured alternatives.

The perfect cosmetic dentistry treatment to suit your needs will depend on your individual clinical situation, as well as your preferences.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures at our Buckinghamshire clinic. They are micro-thin shells of medical-grade porcelain that are placed over the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance.

Veneers can improve the look of slightly gappy or misaligned teeth, as well as covering permanent discolouration. Your dentist can place a single veneer to mask problems with one tooth, or can use a full set to create a smile makeover. This usually requires just two-three appointments at our Buckinghamshire practice.

Cosmetic crowns

Crowns are used to restore and reinforce weakened teeth – for example, after a root canal procedure. We offer a number of tooth-coloured, porcelain crowns at our Buckinghamshire clinic, as well as gold crowns. Thanks to our CEREC machine, your crown can often be made while you wait. Your dentist will ensure your crown matches the natural colour of your teeth.

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays are stronger than white fillings, but do not require as much preparation of your teeth as do crowns. Your dentist will match your onlay/inlay to your natural tooth colour. Our CEREC machine can be used for single-visit inlay and onlay treatments.

Teeth whitening: a guide to the UK’s most popular smile booster

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the UK. Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire offers high-quality, effective, and safe whitening treatment – the perfect way to add a quick boost of brightness to your smile.

teeth-whiteningWhy we need teeth whitening

Stained and discoloured teeth can easily get you down. They can cause you to lose confidence in your smile, which can impact on your relationships with others.

The most common cause of tooth staining is an inadequate dental hygiene routine. This enables plaque to build up on the surfaces of your teeth, leading to unpleasant brown discolouration. By visiting your dentist and hygienist, plaque stains can be removed with a professional scale and polish. Your hygienist can also help you devise a better home cleaning routine to help stop the problem from recurring.

If your teeth are improperly aligned, this can make it very difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene, no matter how hard you try. Crooked and crowded teeth often have areas that are tricky to clean properly at home, and this, too, can mean stains build up. At our Buckinghamshire dental practice we offer discreet teeth straightening using Six Month Smiles cosmetic braces, which can make it much easier to keep your teeth healthy and clean in as little as half a year.

Even those with good hygiene find their teeth can be stained by lifestyle and dietary factors, such as smoking, or drinking a lot of coffee or red wine. Delivered by a dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and reliable way to remove these common stains – as well as those caused by fluorosis and some medicines.

Buckinghamshire teeth whitening

There are two teeth whitening options at our Buckinghamshire clinic, and your cosmetic dentist will discuss both when you come to Garden View for a consultation.

Home whitening

Carried out under your dentist’s supervision at home, this option involves using custom-made mouth trays and whitening gel, and takes approximately two weeks to complete.

Power whitening

Performed by your dentist here at our Buckinghamshire clinic, power teeth whitening requires just a single, hour-long session to complete.

Using cosmetic dentistry to create beautiful smiles

With cosmetic dentistry, your dream smile could be a matter of a few appointments away. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, we have an extensive menu of cosmetic treatments, many of them taking less time than you might think. If you have long dreamt of making over your smile, read on to discover how we can help. . .

Cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire

cosmetic-dentistry-BuckinghamshireThe secret to effective cosmetic dentistry is to create results that look as natural as they do beautiful. The techniques used at our Buckinghamshire dental practice are designed to be noticeable, yet subtle – creating an entirely natural-looking appearance.

Your journey to a new smile begins with a consultation with a cosmetic dentist here at Garden View Buckinghamshire. Your dentist will find out what your dream smile would look like and will perform a clinical examination, before talking through all the appropriate treatment options to achieve your goal.

Sometimes one treatment is all that is needed – a quick course of teeth whitening, perhaps – whilst in other cases a combination of two or more works best. Among the popular cosmetic dentistry options at our Buckinghamshire dental practice are:

Teeth whitening

A fast and effective smile booster, teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry, and should only be carried out by a dentist (or hygienist on a dentist’s prescription). It involves the use of special dental bleaching gel to remove common stains from the teeth, and can be carried out over a fortnight at home, or in a single session here in our Buckinghamshire clinic.

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed over the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance – for example, closing small gaps, covering a permanently discoloured tooth, or simultaneously masking and improving the appearance of a chipped tooth.

White fillings, inlays and onlays

Metal amalgam fillings can be very obvious. Your dentist can safely replace them with either white composite fillings or, for added strength, porcelain inlays or onlays. Thanks to the CEREC machine at our Buckinghamshire practice, we are able to create inlays and onlays in a single visit.

Ask your cosmetic dentist for a summer smile makeover

A good cosmetic dentist will never offer you a “quick-fix” solution, but there are some fast and effective ways to boost the appearance of your smile. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire we have a skilled cosmetic team who will tailor-make your treatment plan to suit your needs – be they large or small.

cosmetic-dentistryEverybody wants to look good in their holiday photos, but a recent survey showed that some 70% of people disliked their current smile so much that they didn’t enjoy being asked to smile for a picture. At our Buckinghamshire dental practice, we think that everyone deserves a beautiful smile that they want to show off. So if you are unhappy with your current smile, why not come into Garden View Dental Care for a consultation with a cosmetic dentist to see how we can help you?

Many people believe that if they choose treatment from a cosmetic dentist, it will be many months before they have the smile they’ve always dreamt of. Of course, every person’s needs will be different, but many of the treatments available at our Buckinghamshire dental practice only take a few appointments to complete.

Your dream smile really could be a matter of weeks away; the first thing you need to do is to come in for a consultation with a cosmetic dentist at Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire.

Options from your Buckinghamshire cosmetic dentist

Among the treatments your cosmetic dentist may prescribe are:

Teeth whitening

One of the fastest ways to boost the brightness of your smile, teeth whitening should only be carried out by a dentist. We offer both home teeth whitening (which takes two weeks) and power whitening (which takes just one hour) at our Buckinghamshire clinic.

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are like false fingernails for the teeth. Micro-thin shells of porcelain, they are placed over the front surfaces of the teeth to improve their appearance. A single veneer can cover a permanently stained, chipped, or cracked tooth, whilst a full set can create a smile makeover.

White fillings

Your dentist can replace metal fillings with tooth-coloured alternatives, giving an aesthetically pleasing result.

Teeth whitening: who you gonna call? (Your dentist, of course)

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to quickly brighten up the appearance of your smile. Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire offers two options for whitening treatment: you can either carry it out yourself at home under your dentist’s guidance, or you can have a power whitening session here in the practice – the choice is yours.

teeth-whiteningThe ideal summer pick-me-up

If you are gazing out of the office window dreaming of your summer holidays, it could be the perfect time to book a teeth whitening consultation at our Buckinghamshire dental practice. Whitening is one of the fastest cosmetic procedures available, and can give your smile a whole new, brighter look in just a couple of appointments.

There are two important things to remember if you are considering teeth whitening treatment:

Number 1: ALWAYS consult a dentist.

There may be numerous products on eBay, in high street stores, and even in some beauty parlours that claim to whiten teeth. These must be avoided at all costs.

Teeth whitening is a skilled procedure that can, by law, only be carried out by a dentist or by a hygienist/hygiene therapist on a dentist’s prescription. Unqualified practitioners are likely to do more harm than good, and with over-the-counter or online products the very best you can hope for is that they won’t work. They often contain illegal levels of hydrogen peroxide that can seriously damage your mouth.

The whitening products at Garden View Buckinghamshire are tried, tested, and safe, and your dentist will be on hand at all times whichever option you choose.

Number 2: You need to have a healthy mouth

As with any cosmetic dental procedure, teeth whitening should only be carried out on a healthy mouth. If you have undiagnosed tooth decay or enamel erosion, for example, you are at an increased risk of developing sensitivity as a side-effect.

At our Buckinghamshire clinic, your clinician will ensure you are in good oral health and will treat any underlying conditions prior to whitening treatment beginning.

In the unlikely situation you are not suitable for whitening, another treatment such as veneers may be recommended.

Get ready for summer with teeth whitening treatment

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment, a way of brightening up your smile which is both fast and reliable. At Buckinghamshire dental practice Garden View, we offer two options for whitening treatment, and your dentist will help you to decide which is the best one for you.

teeth-whitening-buckinghamshireSummer is – almost – here and many people’s thoughts are turning to summer holidays. You may be surprised to discover that the vast majority of adults in the UK feel uncomfortable about smiling in photographs because they are ashamed or embarrassed about their teeth.

At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire we believe that everybody deserves a smile to be proud of. When it is carried out by a qualified dentist, teeth whitening provide a reliable, effective, and – most importantly – safe way to boost your smile’s appearance. Depending on which treatment option you choose, teeth whitening takes between two weeks and just one hour to complete – the perfect preparation to ensure that all your smiles are genuine in your holiday snaps.

The importance of consulting a dentist

A dentist must always be consulted for teeth whitening treatment. At our Buckinghamshire practice we are aware that there are many products on the market that claim to give you whiter teeth, but without consulting with a qualified professional you have no way of knowing if these products are effective, let alone safe.

In the best case scenario these treatments simply won’t work, whilst in the worst cases they can actually damage your mouth. The products used at Garden View in Buckinghamshire are tried, tested, and safe, and have proven to be highly effective.

As with any cosmetic procedure, teeth whitening should be carried out on a healthy mouth. When you come into our Buckinghamshire practice for a consultation, your clinician will assess your oral health and provide any treatment required before carrying out whitening.

teeth-whiteningThe need for teeth whitening

Cosmetic dentistry is increasingly popular, and teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, because it is both quick and effective.

Teeth are easily stained in day-to-day life. Drinks including red wine, tea, and coffee all contribute to surface staining of the teeth, as do lifestyle choices such as smoking. Some medicines and medicated mouthwashes can cause temporary staining of the teeth, whilst deeper stains can be caused as a side-effect of natural mineralisation and of certain medical conditions such as fluorosis.

When carried out by a dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and predictable method of getting rid of these stains. It is also designed to be gentle, with special steps taken to minimise sensitivity.
