Don't wait any longer to have a beautiful and healthy-looking smile! A clean and natural looking smile represents a healthy and happy lifestyle and by improving your oral hygiene, you can set a good example for your family. Those who suffer from stained or crooked teeth or bad breath are generally afraid to smile or laugh in public out of embarrassment.

Cosmetic dentists can provide quick and painless solutions, giving you the confidence to share your smile with friends and family. A nice, bright smile can dramatically change your approach to life, giving you more confidence and a healthy start. Striking Smile's professional dentists use the most advanced dental procedures and materials, ensuring you remain comfortable in the knowledge that your teeth are in the safest hands. We believe that visiting the dentists should be a pleasurable experience, which is why we make sure we understand the needs and requests of patients before treatment is started. This ensures that the patient can relax during any procedure and that the results are exactly as requested.

Dental Procedures

Your physical health and that of your teeth can determine the procedures which are most suitable for you. It is important that you advise dentists of any medical condition and your dental history in the initial consultation.

Chipped or Damaged Teeth

Chipped or damaged teeth can occur for a number of reasons. Chewing hard foods and grinding can wear away the teeth, leaving them exposed to infection and decay. Teeth can be restored to their natural state or made brighter using tooth coloured fillings, crowns and veneers. These procedures can also be used to modify the shape and size of your teeth.

Missing Teeth

Due to advances in dental procedures, patients suffering from missing teeth no longer have to accept wearing false teeth or partial dentures.

Cosmetic dentists commonly use dental implants to replace single and multiple teeth, creating a more natural and strong alternative. Dentists insert a metal screw (usually made of titanium) into the patient's jawbone. A prosthetic tooth (crown) is then designed to match the size, shape and colour of the adjacent teeth and is attached to the screw. This provides a permanent and aesthetically-pleasing solution and can be completed in as little as three visits.

Alternatively, a dental bridge will be used when strong, healthy teeth are still present either side of a gap. The adjacent teeth are used to hold a prosthetic tooth in place. Dentists will advise you on the most appropriate solution for your teeth.

Crooked or Crowded Teeth

Crooked and crowded teeth are common in children and are usually treated at an early stage with braces and orthodontic appliances. But there are people who develop this condition later in life and are embarrassed to seek advice on a solution.

Correcting crooked or crowded teeth can be simple and painless - all you need to do is contact Striking Smile for a 30 minute consultation to find out how. Our dentists can provide you with a range of affordable solutions or they can refer you to a recommended orthodontic specialist.

Cracked or Broken Teeth

Accidents happen, and sometimes the consequences can leave severe damage on your teeth and gums. One of our dedicated dentists can relieve you of pain and ensure that as much of your natural structure is restored. Root canal therapy may be required in some cases, which involves removing the tissue from inside a tooth to prevent infection or tooth extraction.

A majority of broken teeth occur during sport. Striking Smile highly recommend that a protective mouth-guard be worn at all times when you or your children are participating in physical activity. A mouthguard can save you damage to your teeth and an expensive dental bill.

Stained Teeth

Anyone can have a perfect white smile. There are several alternatives to enhancing your smile, so consult Striking Smile on the most suitable solution for you.

Gum Disease

A healthy smile consists of perfect teeth, lips and gums. Your gums require the same attention as your teeth and will deteriorate if they are not cared for correctly. It is important that you brush twice a day, floss regularly and minimise consumption of sugar.

Gum disease causes bad breath, red and swollen gums and may cause bleeding when you brush. If you recognise any of these symptoms, it is important that you consult your dentist on treatment and tips for improving oral hygiene.
