Latest Cosmetic Dentistry can provide you with the smile you've always wanted.

Cosmetic Dentists all over the UK are providing Smile Makeovers for people who hate their smile. Research shows that 76% of people are not confident to smile and 77% of people believe a great smile helps them psychologically.

My confidence is now sky high' says Maria Knight who had her treatment at Perfect Smile Spa. 'No more will I be afraid to attend the dentist'.

More and more people are having Cosmetic Dentistry, even though it can cost up to the price of a small car. 'I think television makeover pro grammes have increased public awareness of what Cosmetic Dentists can now do in the UK' says Dr Jas Sagoo, Principal Cosmetic Dentist of Perfect Smile Spa. 'Also many celebrities have had Cosmetic dentistry for example, Katy Price, Simon Cowell and many many others!

Another big part of the appeal is how quickly Smile Makeover treatment can be completed. "In only about 4 or 5 appointments, my old teeth were 'Zoom' whitened, my misshapen bottom teeth were filed, my top gums reshaped, even my old silver fillings were replaced with white fillings and my veneers were fitted - I had a new dazzling, but very natural smile" says Claire Thomas who also had treatment at Perfect Smile Spa. Technology has advanced immensely with Cosmetic Dentistry today in the UK that Cosmetic Dentists can really change even the worst smile. Treatments range from cosmetic contouring - which is re contouring of the teeth, to Laser Teeth Whitening - which gives whiter, brighter teeth in less than an hour. Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, cosmetic bridges or cosmetic dentures. Uneven, crowded and discolored teeth can be made perfect with porcelain veneers or Smile Makeover.

'There are minimal side effects with Cosmetic Dentistry and risks are so tiny but it is important to see a Cosmetic Dentist who is registered with the General Dental Council. As with all Cosmetic techniques, those who do it most tend to be the best at it, so ask how many people your dentist has treated'. Dr Jas Sagoo says 'A good clinic should show before and after pictures and allow you to even talk to previous patients, if requested'.

Dental Crown Treatment: A Long Term Solution

What is a Dental crown?

A Dental crown protects a heavily filled tooth from fracture by preserving the remaining tooth structure.

Advantages of Dental crowns:

• Aesthetic – improving the appearance of a tooth
• Comfort – smooth, polished surfaces
• Health – less plaque retention due to smooth and accurate shape of the crown
  

What is involved when having a dental Crown?

Normally two visits are required and the treatment is painless. The first visit involves preparation of the tooth, impression taking and fabrication of a temporary dental crown. The shade is also selected at this visit. For highly cosmetic results (e.g. a front crown) it is advisable for the patient to visit our dental laboratory for accurate colour matching. The dental crown is fitted approximately two weeks later.

What types of Dental crowns are there?

• Cosmetic All porcelain crowns.
• Porcelain bonded to metal crowns.
• Gold alloy crowns.
• Tooth coloured transitional crowns.

What affects the cost of crowns?

The clinical work by the Cosmetic dentist is always to a high standard. The cost of Dental crown treatment varies due to three main factors:

• The laboratory - A big choice for the Cosmetic dentist; ranging from busy NHS laboratories to state-of-the-art private laboratories.
• The technician - A junior, apprentice technician would make basic dental crowns; whereas a skilled, experienced technician would make better precision dental crowns finished to a high standard using a microscope.
• The materials used - The quality of the metal alloys and tooth-coloured cosmetic porcelains.
  

Summary
A high quality dental crown is like a piece of jewellery requiring meticulous clinical and dental precision. This will enable you to function in comfort and with confidence over a long period of time and also improve cosmetics

Important tips about Cosmetic Dentistry

There are two types of Teeth whitening (T W), namely Laser Teeth Whitening and Home Teeth Whitening. Both forms of (T W) are highly efficient at lightening on average 4-11 shades of the natural colour of your teeth without causing any harm.

Laser whitening involves a special high vigor teeth whitening gel placed on your teeth being activated by a laser light that speeds up the procedure. The whole procedure is performed by a Cosmetic Dentist, which usually takes about an hour.

Otherwise you can do both procedures for the best results. (T W) can last for many years but depends on how you look after the treatment. Smoking, consuming red wine, tea or coffee will make teeth discolour sooner.

Pick the right cosmetic dentist

It is very important to select an experienced cosmetic dentist who is adequately trained. If you are considering cosmetic dentistry treatment in London, Essex then make sure that the cosmetic dentist you choose is registered with the GDC - General Dental Council - Some Cosmetic Dentists are listed with the BACD that is British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. You should check whether the cosmetic dentist who will be performing your procedure is on the register. It is very important that you feel comfortable with the cosmetic dentist that you have chosen for your cosmetic dentistry.

All cosmetic dentistry procedures carry some amount of risk and limitations. Obtain as much information as you can about the risk involved in cosmetic dentistry treatment as well as the benefits of the cosmetic dentistry procedure you are considering. Make your own decision about going for the treatment because you know what is right for you. Do not be forced into having a cosmetic dentistry.
