Cosmetic dentistry may require modifications to your natural teeth. It is important that you understand what is involved and the results of any procedure before you continue. It is recommended that you arrange a 30 minute consultation with a Striking Smile dentist, to discuss the options available to you.
Chipped and damaged teeth can look unattractive and cause damage to adjacent teeth if they are not treated immediately. There are many natural-looking options available, including crowns and veneers, which Striking Smile can attach to the tooth to retain the original colour, size and shape.
Permanent dentistry implants are a popular modern solution to replacing missing singular or multiple teeth. The procedure involves inserting a titanium screw into the jaw bone, which then becomes the foundation for a replica crown. Because the screw is attached to the bone structure, the result is strong and can withstand regular eating and functioning. Most importantly, because the crown stems from the gums, it appears in the mouth as a normal tooth.
Similarly, dental bridges are an alternate solution to dental implants but are not permanent or likely to withstand impact or pressure. Dental bridges use adjacent teeth to bridge a prosthetic tooth in the gap. Missing teeth create a pocket in your mouth and can cause your cheeks and gums to sag, adding years to your face. It is recommended that you consult your dentist if you are aware of missing teeth and ask them about available options.
Crooked and crowded teeth occur early in life, so it is important that you book your child in for a dentistry examination no later than seven years of age. Striking Smile can determine whether your child is likely to suffer from dental conditions such as crowded or crooked teeth, and discuss the options which you have available, to minimise or even neutralise the problem before it occurs.
In some cases, your dentist may recommend you take your child to an orthodontic specialist. An orthodontic specialist can determine whether braces or other straightening appliances may be required.
Accidents can cause extreme pain and damage to your teeth, lips and gums. If you are injured or suffer from a cracked or broken tooth, it is important that you call Striking Smile immediately to advise you and arrange an appointment. Striking Smile offer special consideration to patients suffering from extreme pain or damage and are available extended hours and some weekends for specific cases. In some instances, root canal therapy may be essential, in order to save the teeth or prevent infection.
Most emergency dental cases are caused by accidents which happen during sports. Striking Smile recommends all adults and children wear protective mouths guards whenever they are involved in physical activities. Striking Smile can mould protective mouthguards that will fit comfortably and minimise the impact on your teeth and gums. You can save yourself damage to your teeth and your finances.
Everybody wants a whiter smile, but it is important that you choose the right whitening procedure to suit your teeth. Here are some of the more popular methods of dentistry whitening:
In-chair procedures are quick and easy. You can have a white, natural-looking smile in as little as one hour. Dentists fill a custom mouthpiece with strong bleach. The process is much more effective than at-home whitening because the mouthpiece is moulded to your mouth, ensuring that the entire teeth surface is covered and the bleach is ten times stronger, ensuring a whiter and longer lasting result.
With every at-home bleaching kit, you will be supplied with a mouthpiece and a tube of bleach. It is important that you mould the mouthpiece comfortably to your teeth, to ensure that bleach does not get on your gums, lips and tongue.
You should consult your dentist before applying bleach. Striking Smile can provide you with a custom-made mouthpiece which will ensure consistent application and better results.
Striking Smile can recommend the best products to enhance the brightness of your smile. Toothpaste whitening solutions are less dramatic and cheaper alternatives, but will fade quickly and do not provide the same natural-looking results.
If you have had crowns, bridges or fillings on the surface of your teeth, then whitening products such as bleach and toothpastes will have little to no effect on those areas. If you have had dental work on your teeth, consult your dentist on an alternate whitening solution for you.
In many cases, cosmetic dentistry may be required to permanently enhance your smile. Porcelain veneers may be used to cover the surface of the teeth and create a whiter smile.
Gums are an essential part of a healthy smile, so it is important that you apply the same care and oral hygiene as your teeth. Gum disease can be triggered by a number of things, including smoking, over-brushing, eating disorders and certain medical conditions. The symptoms of gum disease include irritation, swelling, redness, bleeding and bad breath. If you are suffering from any gum disease symptoms, it is important that you consult a dentist. Striking Smile can recommend ways to neutralise the problem before it affects the teeth and causes pain and discomfort.
Correct oral hygiene should be a priority in any lifestyle. Brushing twice a day and regularly flossing will reduce decay, but other changes are encouraged to ensure a healthy smile. You and your children should monitor the levels of sugar which are consumed and regular dentistry check-ups and cleanings are required. Consult your dentist on how frequently you and your children should schedule appointments. Appointments may be recommended between 3 and 12 months, depending on the health of the patient and that of their teeth and gums.
