Are you always unhappy with your pictures? Do you avoid having your photos taken? It could be true for several people who are not happy with their teeth, which one of the most important and noticeable facial features. The two most common reasons for a person to hide their smile are:
Irrespective of the reason, our cosmetic dentist would have several different treatment options that could help improve the condition of your teeth. In fact, the earlier you consult a cosmetic dentist, the better. He or she can give you a detailed analysis of what is wrong and what treatments could be undertaken to correct the situation.
Some of the most common corrective cosmetic dentistry procedures to get a smile makeover include:
1- Porcelain Veneers or Crowns for Gaps in Teeth
A common problem with majority of the patients who are worried about their smile is ‘gaps’. At times, people are born with such gaps in their teeth – that is, the problem is genetic. A gap could sometimes indicate a requirement for orthodontia and at other times they occur as a result of teeth which have been lost or damaged.
In both kinds of situations, dental treatments can help minimise or remove the gap completely. In most cases, we would recommend porcelain crowns or porcelain veneers to fill up the space.
2- Dental Implants for Missing Teeth
Some people are shy to smile because of big and unattractive spaces, which are visible in the mouth. These are usually due to some missing teeth. Cosmetic dentists may be able to resolve this problem with dental implants, which could greatly improve your smile. A bridge may also be used to fill up an awkward space.
3- Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most common and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments. It is a fast, painless and inexpensive means of transforming your smile and making you look younger and healthier. Tooth discolouration can be caused by smoking, drinking coffee, eating some foods, or simply as a result of the natural aging process.
Bleaching, or whitening, teeth to a lighter, natural, shade can promote a more youthful look, and there are many teeth whitening products and treatments available. The most effective, long-lasting and safe methods of teeth whitening are performed by cosmetic dentists.
4- Gum Lifts
Also known as a gingivectomy, a gum lift is a cosmetic dentistry procedure where the gums are reshaped to result in a more aesthetically pleasing smile. In most cases, people will choose a gum lift if they have a ‘gummy’ smile, where the gums have not fully receded after the adult teeth erupt, or in cases where people’s lips allow a lot of gum to show when they smile.
Gum lifts are generally only needed on the front teeth – as these are more visible when smiling and speaking – and technological dentistry advancements have ensured that gum lift treatments are now far less invasive and painful than they have been in the past. Nowadays, cosmetic dentistry professionals use lasers to reshape the gums, resulting in minimal bleeding, and faster healing times.
Sensitive teeth can occur when tooth enamel is lost exposing the inner layer of the tooth called the dentine. Dentine can be exposed by gum recession, abrasion by vigorous brushing or acid erosion. Gum recession can be caused by vigorous brushing, or by poor brushing and not removing plaque deposits on teeth, which can lead to gum disease and gum recession.
When the gums recede, the sensitive dentine at the neck of the teeth can be exposed. Acid erosion can be from our everyday diet and softens the enamel of the teeth. This enamel is then susceptible to being worn away by brushing, which over time, can expose the dentine. Acidic foods and drinks include fruits, fruit juices, salad dressings, soft drinks and sports drinks, wine and alcohol.
Dentine is made up of tiny fluid filled canals which stimulate the nerves in the teeth. When the dentine comes in contact with triggers or stimuli, such as cold and hot foods and drinks, sweet foods, acidic foods and drinks, cold air and abrasion from brushing teeth; fluid within these canals moves rapidly, stimulating nerve endings and causing short, sharp pain.

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry teeth whitening treatments are as popular as ever. This is because we are constantly facing the appearance of our teeth every day when we look in the mirror. Since we’re always exposed to our teeth, we’re prone to notice imperfections, stains, or yellow teeth.
Should you decide to whiten your teeth, there are two ways to go about it: doing it yourself by purchasing one of the many whitening products available in pharmacies or having it done in a cosmetic dental practice like Lane Ends Dental Practice.
At first glance, whitening your teeth on your own is very tempting: prices are fair, and treatments are quick and simple. There’s also a whole bunch of products available, and it’s easy to find something depending on your needs. However, the safety of such products is sometimes questionable. Some tooth whitening products are filled with abrasive elements that damage teeth enamel, which can lead to long term complications. Moreover, the results of a DIY tooth whitening treatments are less efficient and resilient than teeth whitening performed by a cosmetic dentist.
For this reason, you should consult an experienced dentist prior to whitening your teeth. Do not hesitate to get in touch with Lane Ends Dental Practice for amazing teeth whitening or to get more information on teeth whitening options.We employ a team of highly-qualified cosmetic dental professionals who are always on top of the latest technology. With their teeth whitening treatments, you’ll soon be able to flash your best smile.
The first thing people often notice during a conversation is a smile. If dull or discoloured teeth are hurting your confidence, you need not fret. With teeth whitening, you can get a white and bright smile that radiates and promotes vitality and confidence. Therefore, teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures as it improves the appearance of the teeth. This procedure is an effective way of lightening the colour of your teeth without affecting the tooth surface.
Tooth enamel is porous. Staining and colouring elements in food and tobacco can penetrate the enamel far below the surface. Certain medications can also affect the enamel’s colour and clarity. Ageing itself can dull your teeth and darken them. Teeth can become yellowed, stained or darkened over time from any one of these sources, causing self-consciousness when smiling.
The outer layer of your tooth, also known as enamel is highly susceptible to stains. Some of the habits that lead to discoloration of teeth are:
Since only you can decide how white you want your teeth to become the amount that you bleach with custom trays is completely your decision. There is no reliable way to predict how light your teeth will whiten but it has been shown that the longer the whitening material is in contact with your teeth the more effect it will have.
Teeth are naturally darker along the gum-line so these areas may require more time to lighten than the rest of the tooth surfaces and usually remain slightly darker.
