Dental Veneers with Chelsea Dental Spa

Dental veneers - http://chelseadentalspa.co.uk/dental-treatments/cosmetic-dentistry/dental-veneers.php

At Chelsea Dental Spa, we know that veneers are a popular and cosmetically pleasing way to get that perfect smile you’ve always wanted. Veneers are great for restoring chipped teeth, discoloured teeth and misshapen teeth. Our cosmetic dentists are also able to use veneers to repair irregular spacing, minor crowding and replace worn down enamel.

Veneers are made of a thin, tooth coloured porcelain or composite shell that are custom-made to bond to the front surface of your teeth to improve or restore the aesthetics of the tooth. Veneers can best be described as being like false fingernails for your smile.

Tooth preparation before the veneer treatment is minimal and the veneers are bonded to the tooth structure with special resin cement. Generally, veneers are fitted in two separate appointments.

The first appointment will be for the tooth or teeth to be prepared for the veneers. This will involve numbing the teeth with a local anaesthetic so there is no discomfort during treatment. A small amount of the front surface of the tooth is removed and impressions taken so the final custom-made veneers can be prepared. The veneers are then fitted at the second appointment to create a uniform, natural and healthy looking smile.

Damon Clear Braces - Chelsea Dental Spa

Clear braces - http://chelseadentalspa.co.uk/dental-treatments/orthodontic-dentistry/damon-clear-braces.php

Damon clear braces are a clinically proven treatment method that straightens your teeth as well as enhances your facial aesthetics usually without having to extract teeth.

Using the Damon system braces will mean fewer visits to the clinic and a shortened treatment time. 

Damon braces use a slide mechanism that reduces pressure on your teeth and lets them move comfortably to their correct positions. This unique system eliminates the need for traditional elastic and metal ties, which means dental hygiene is easier to maintain during the treatment as they don’t attract or collect plaque.

The braces are almost transparent and can adapt to the tooth’s natural colour to further disguise them. 

The brackets we use are low profile and do not stain, which give you a comfortable and efficient treatment system. These braces are used mainly with upper teeth and regular metal Damon braces are used on the lower teeth depending on the patient’s needs.

Braces are definitely worth the investment, but everyone’s orthodontic needs are different. That is why we always carry out a thorough initial consultation to discuss your needs and advise on all the possible options available to gain the desired results.

Do you want straighter teeth without having to wear unsightly metal braces? Why not give us a call on 0800 368 8448 and book your first Damon Clear Braces consultation appointment today!

Dental implants - http://chelseadentalspa.co.uk/dental-treatments/implant-dentistry/all-on-four-dental-implants.php

If you are fed up with ill-fitting dentures or missing teeth and feel it’s about time that you smiled and ate again with confidence? A lot of people nowadays lead busy lives and merely can’t wait for months to have standard dental implant treatments. If this sounds like you then same day dental implants London could be the perfect solution.

All-on-four is a technique we use at Chelsea Dental Spa that allows a fixed bridge to be fitted onto 4 dental implants in one day. Generally, a patient would need to have six to ten dental implants in order to replace all missing teeth on one row and sometimes we would even need to add artificial bone. However, in this procedure only 4 implants are placed at specific angles to provide greater stability. An immediate temporary bridge is then screwed onto the implants so patients can leave the dental clinic with a new set of fixed teeth!

Benefits of All-on-Four Dental Implants

There are several benefits to All- on-Four dental implants. These include, being a minimal invasive procedure, less pain and swelling, elimination of ill-fitting dentures and denture adhesives, secure natural looking and feeling teeth, fewer dental visits, immediate results, and cost effective compared to traditional implants.

After the procedure, you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.

Do all-on-four implants seem like the perfect option for your missing teeth? Why not give us a call on 0800 368 8448 and book your first all-on-4 implant consultation appointment today!

Dental Phobia Explained By London dentist

Fear can be a very powerful thing. It can make us avoid situations, cause panic and nausea and in some cases cause a complete paralysis. Anyone who has experienced severe fear, or phobia, will tell you how distressing it can be and how much you try to avoid any situation that could cause an adverse reaction. In many cases of phobia, the object in question is easily avoided. Looking after your teeth is important and will hopefully help you avoid any nasty dental complications. But what if you are afraid of the dentist to the point you can’t ever bring yourself to visit for a check up or even more importantly, for treatment?

Dental phobia is a very real and damaging fear that prevents many thousands of people receiving the treatment they need to keep their teeth healthy. But there are ways to successfully overcome dental phobia without resorting to extreme measures. Many dental phobias are caused by past traumatic experiences. In many cases this occurred when the patient was child. It is important to realise that dentistry in the modern world is very different to how it was forty, thirty of even twenty years ago. Modern dentists are more attuned to the fear of many patients. They are specially trained to help patients overcome anxiety and will employ certain methods to help you obtain the treatment you need.

One of the simplest ways to overcome dental phobia is simply to talk to a dentist. This will often help to alleviate certain fears caused by not knowing what treatment involves. Other successful methods include teaching self-relaxation methods such as breathing exercises and also using calming aromatherapy. Ask your London dentist about how you can overcome your fears.You can rest assured that you wont be the first nervous patient they have seen and they will be trained to help you relax and talk you through exactly what might happen during your appointment. Removing the element of the unexpected and knowing what to expect can be very useful to help you assuage your anxieties.

Sedation dentistry can be used on any patient who is anxious about receiving any kind of dental treatment, be it cosmetic or restorative. In some cases this can help the patient to overcome their fears once they realize that there is little or no extended pain involved in the dental procedures. Sedation dentistry can also be used on patients who suffer from very sensitive teeth and find normal treatment very painful. It can also be used for patients who have medical conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Cerebral Palsy.

The three main types of sedation are oral conscious sedation, inhalation sedation and intravenous sedation. Each will be used depending on the conditions and the needs of the patient. The dentist may also use local or general anaesthetic to numb specific areas of the body or mouth.

Dentists also offer relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and self-hypnosis to help patients conquer their fears. It has also recently been found that aromatherapy, particularly lavender oil, is very good at relaxing people before appointments. Whatever the reason or level of anxiety, there is a way to overcome it and receive the dental treatment that you require.

Replacement with dental implants

As a substitute for a missing or lost tooth it is hard to beat a dental implant for realism and authenticity. Dental implants are the only dental replacement that restores the whole tooth from crown to root and as a result is the sturdiest restoration available.

There are many reasons for losing a tooth ranging from accidental damage to gum disease but whatever the cause it can be a very painful and upsetting experience at any age. If a tooth has been knocked out or extracted due to decay it can be the cause of further dental complications causing pain and anxiety so it is always recommended by dentists to replace teeth as soon as possible. If a gap is left in the dental arc then it can cause the other teeth to move or rotate. This can lead to complications with bite and also increases the likelihood of further dental infection.

The implant procedure usually takes place in three steps. Firstly, a screw is secured to the patient’s jawbone, with the top protruding just above the surface of the gum. This is then left to heal so that the bone and gum tissue can fuse to the implant in a process called osseointergration. In the second procedure a abutment is attached to the screw which will eventually allow the crown to be attached.Patients who have jawbones and gums which are strong, will particularly benefit from a dental implant. A good standard of oral hygiene is needed to maintain the implant but the permanency it provides really sets it apart from other dental substitutes.

Unlike other restorations, a dental implant will last a whole lifetime if properly cared for. Although the initial cost may be slightly more than other treatments, you need to bear in mind that once you have had implant surgery you are unlikely to need to spend any further money on future replacements.

If you are suffering from a missing tooth, see a dentist and ask about having a dental implant fitted to bring the smile back to your face.
