It is said that you can tell a lot about a person from their smile.
Your smile is an incredibly important part of your daily interactions – from romantic prospects to a promising job interview, a winning smile can help change your chances across the board.
With this in mind, it is a wise investment to put some time and effort into yours.
A healthy smile isn’t always achieved overnight, but takes a variety of methods to create and maintain. Here are some ways in which to improve the health and appearance of your teeth.
1) Hygiene
Diseased and inflamed gums don’t look attractive and neither do stained teeth!
A dental hygiene treatment includes professionally cleaning your teeth as well as giving advice on the best way to keep teeth free of plaque.
Our dental hygienist Karen will be able to advise you on treating gum disease.
2) Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is an excellent solution to make your smile beautiful again.
It is safe, quick and non-invasive. Our experienced staff at Shifnal Dental Care will help you find the right method of teeth whitening to brighten your smile.
For example, our Zoom! whitening treatment is ideal for anyone who requires immediate results.
3) Replace discoloured fillings
Most of us have fillings that date back many years and some may have even been placed during childhood.
These fillings may now be old, dark and unattractive, leaving you feeling self-conscious when smiling, laughing and talking.
Old fillings may also be defective. When a filling is old, the space between the tooth and the filling may eventually open which allows bacteria and food debris to enter causing further tooth decay.
White fillings are alternatives to these harsh looking fillings and blend into the natural surrounding colour of your teeth.
Our dentists are happy to remove any decay and restore the tooth with a white coloured filling.
4) Cosmetic Dentures
Dentures are removable replacements for your teeth, designed to look and function like your own natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues.
Dentures look very realistic and natural and are comfortable to wear.
If you have several missing teeth, possibly from some time ago, then you will benefit from having a set of dentures fitted as it will provide support for your cheeks and lips, leaving you with a beautiful smile.
Alternatively, a partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments.
Get in touch with us today to discuss your options of fitting cosmetic dentures.
5) Veneers
Used primarily on the front teeth, veneers are very thin porcelain facings which are individually crafted and permanently bonded to the surface of the teeth to improve appearance.
Veneers can majorly alter a smile. In some cases it can even protect the teeth from wear and tear and can take years off your smile.
It is an attractive option for people who are not interested in orthodontic braces to straighten teeth. The whole procedure can be completed in one week and can produce a striking improvement.
