Cosmetic Dentistry
Did you know that one in four of us in the UK are unhappy with our smile? With advances in modern dentistry, its no longer just a case of filling and taking out teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry', is used as a means of improving the appearance of teeth. Used to straighten, reshape, lighten and repair teeth, cosmetic dentistry should always aim to produce natural-looking results for patients. Our wide range of effective cosmetic treatments can help you with your discoloured, worn, chipped or crooked teeth.
A perfect smile could help land you that new job, or make the right impression when it counts. After all, one of the first things people notice about you is your smile. That's why at Bearsted Dental Studio we understand how important it is to smile with confidence.
Teeth Whitening
A simple and effective way to lighten your teeth, teeth whitening treatment will give your smile a renewed sparkle and will improve your self-confidence. Tooth colour is a very individual thing: it can darken as we get older and is affected by staining substances such as coffee, tea, fizzy drinks and smoking. Whitening lifts off these stains from the enamel and works by allowing a very small amount of bleaching gel to come in to contact with the teeth. The gel then reacts with the surface of the tooth, gently removing stains and creating a beautiful, pearly white smile to be proud of.
WHITE FILLINGS
Also called composite fillings, white fillings are made from tooth-coloured materials that restore the natural appearance of a decayed or previously filled tooth. As our preferred filling material of choice, we can use white fillings to replace your old metal fillings. This is a safe procedure in which the metal filling in the tooth is removed (including any decay detected) and a tooth-coloured filling is placed instead. This cosmetic dental treatment will give your teeth a more natural overall appearance.
DENTAL BONDING
This is a simple and minimally invasive way to improve the aesthetics of your smile if you have any small gaps, chips or worn teeth. By 'bonding' tooth-coloured composite material to your existing teeth the shape, size and profile of your teeth can be positively transformed. It is a pain-free procedure as in most cases the teeth themselves do not need to be drilled in order to bond the material.
SMILE MAKEOVER
Want a complete smile transformation? Typically consisting of a blend of different dental treatments and techniques, the goal of a smile makeover is to dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth.
Following a discussion and thorough examination, we'll create you an bespoke treatment plan that's tailored to your unique needs.
We can offer a comprehensive range of smile enhancing treatments: your dentist may recommend regular dental hygiene services; the placement of natural-looking porcelain veneers; teeth whitening or teeth straightening with Invisalign.
Dental Veneers
Is your smile discoloured? Do you have some chipped or cracked teeth? We understand that such aesthetic concerns may cause you to feel embarrassed when you smile. Fortunately, Bearsted Dental Studio can transform the appearance of your teeth through dental veneers.
With beautiful, natural-looking results, dental veneers are shaped to perfectly mask and disguise imperfections. The minimally invasive procedure has short treatment times and is used to restore the colour, surface, shape and alignment of the teeth.
Implantology
Missing teeth affect a person’s appearance, their ability to speak and chew, and their general dental health. We may recommend that a missing tooth be replaced. Many options exist for the replacement of lost teeth. One that has gained considerable acceptance is the dental implant.
A dental implant is a small but strong metal screw placed into the jaw in the space of one or more missing teeth so that crowns, bridges and dentures can be fixed onto them.
