You no longer need to live your life with uncomfortable dental conditions or unattractive teeth and bad breath. Striking Smile dentists are dedicated to relieving you of pain and creating a healthy and natural-looking smile which you can share with your family and friends.
A healthy, white smile can dramatically change your personal appearance, giving you the confidence to smile and laugh with family and friends. There are many reasons why an attractive and healthy-looking smile is desired, including:
An underqualified or inadequate dentist can leave you with discoloured or bulky teeth. At Striking Smile, our experienced and professional cosmetic dentists strive to create a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile. Striking Smile use modern material and state-of the art procedures to ensure you remain comfortable during the entire process. Sedation methods are incorporated wherever necessary to ensure that anxious adults and children are comfortable at all times; however it is important that you understand the procedure involved with any treatment.
Striking Smile has a range of dental treatments available, which can rehabilitate and repair your teeth to a healthy and natural state. Contact Striking Smile to arrange a 30 minute dental consultation, a qualified cosmetic dentist can explain the options which most suitable for you.
Chipped and damaged teeth are prone to developing disease and infection which can spread throughout the mouth, causing discomfort and sensitive reactions. Fillings, crowns and veneers can be used to restore damaged teeth, and tooth coloured composite and porcelain can be used to provide a natural or whiter looking smile.
Improvements in dental procedures have meant that more permanent alternatives are available for patients who wear dentures. False teeth are uncomfortable and have a tendency to change the jaw and facial structure to accommodate the plastic mould.
Dental implants are a safe, strong and permanent alternative that cause no damage to adjacent teeth. During the procedure, a metal screw (usually made of titanium) is implanted in the jaw bone, to create the foundation for a prosthetic tooth (crown). The crown is designed to suit the size, shape and colour of the adjacent teeth, ensuring a natural- looking tooth which appears to protrude from the gums. Dental bridges are an alternate option available for patients missing single or multiple teeth, which uses the support of natural and healthy teeth, to hold a false tooth in place.
It is important that you discuss all the options available to you with your dentist. They can provide a detailed explanation of the process involved and the end result.
Crooked or crowded teeth will become evident at a young age, so it is important that you bring your child in for a full dental examination between 6 and 8 years of age. A Striking Smile professional can determine whether a problem is evolving and what treatment can be applied to prevent the condition. In some cases, a referral to an orthodontic specialist may be suggested, to discuss the use of braces and other orthodontic appliances.
In adults, veneers can also be used to create symmetry, length, uniform of colour and shape and fill gaps.
Teeth are sometimes exposed to pressure and force which they cannot withstand, resulting in cracked of broken teeth. Cracked and broken teeth can cause extreme pain and prolonged damage if they are not treated immediately and professionally.
Striking Smile provide emergency dental care to patients who have suffered severe damage to their teeth or gums. In many cases, root canal therapy will be necessary, to remove the exposed tissue from inside the tooth and minimise the chance of infection in the future.
Accidents which occur during sport are a common reason for dental harm, so it is important that protective tooth-wear, such as a mouth guard, is worn when you are involved in any physical activity.
White and healthy looking teeth are no longer exclusive to the rich and famous. There are whitening alternatives to suit any budget and enhance any smile. There are many options available, so you should consult your dentist before applying any treatment.
Whiter teeth are only one phone call away! Contact Striking Smile and you can have whiter teeth in as little as one hour. We apply a high quality and powerful bleach that can provide you with natural-looking white teeth, which can last up to ten times longer than retail brands.
With an at-home kit, you will receive a mouth-piece which you will need to mould to fit your teeth and a tube of gel-like bleach. The bleach provided in at-home kits is not as strong as professional bleach, which means that it will not create the same natural-appearance or last as long.
It is important that your mouth-piece is fitted comfortably to your teeth, to ensure that bleach does not get on your lips, gums and tongue. To avoid damage, it is recommended that you consult your dentist before applying at-home bleach.
Striking Smile can provide you with a custom-fit mould, which will ensure an even application and better results.
Gum disease, much like tooth decay, is caused by bad oral care and hygiene. Brushing and flossing can prevent gum disease, which is why it is important that you teach your children correct oral care and healthy eating habits from an early age.
Incorrect brushing, reflux, eating disorders, smoking and some medical conditions effect the condition of your gums, so it is important that you consult your dentist regularly for examination. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, you have constant bad breath or if they are red and swollen, then it is likely that you have a mild form of gum disease. Contact Striking Smile to receive information on the treatment of gum disease.
It is a common belief that check-ups only need to be made every 6 months but this depends entirely on the structure, strength and health of your teeth. Striking Smile recommend that you ask your dentist how frequently you should return for inspections. If you suffer from weak or deteriorating teeth or gums, 3 to 6 month check-ups may be necessary. Between every consultation, it is important that you maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, particularly after a major dental procedure.
