Cosmetic dentistry offers a number of solutions to people who are unhappy with the spacing of their teeth. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, our skilled cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani welcomes new patients for cosmetic dental consultations.
Patients with gappy smiles can choose from a range of cosmetic dentistry options at our Buckinghamshire dental practice. The ideal treatment in your case will depend on a number of factors, including the nature and amount of correction needed, and your personal preference.
Diastema closure
Open gingival embrasures, also known as black triangles, are a common complaint in adult patients. These gaps and dark spaces between the teeth can be caused by gum recession, bone loss, and movement of the teeth, and can make the teeth look old. They are also prime breeding grounds for plaque bacteria because food particles can easily become trapped in these spaces.
At our Buckinghamshire practice we use the ClarkMatrix system to close these gaps with composite bonding material – the same material used for white fillings. This treatment uses clear forms that are filled with composite material closely matched to your natural tooth colour to close the gaps and improve your gum line.
Veneers
Veneers are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry. These thin pieces of porcelain are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance, and can be used to close gaps. A minimally-invasive procedure, this typically involves two visits to the dental practice.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces designed to quickly improve the position of your front six to eight teeth. These braces comprise clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, and have an average treatment time of just six months. We also provide an extra smile boost with teeth whitening – the best-known procedure in cosmetic dentistry – free of charge at the end of treatment.
