Clear braces, modern technology for a sparkling smile

In Buckinghamshire, clear braces are doing away with the need to feel self-conscious about having your teeth straightened even though you are no longer a teenager. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, clear braces are the only braces we offer because we know that they are not only as effective as metal braces, but that they are almost invisible.

clear-braces-in-Buckinghamshire Many people associate wearing braces with being a teenager, and when they think of braces they imagine a mouth full of metal for two or three years. But’s let’s be clear, braces technology has moved on a lot in the last decades. Now braces do not have to be made of unsightly metal, they can be transparent or even made of tooth-coloured ceramic materials. This means that clear braces blend in with your mouth, and that braces are no longer a badge of the secondary school student.

At Garden View in Buckinghamshire, clear braces are fitted using a system called Six Month Smiles. We use this particular system of clear braces for several reasons. Firstly, because these clear braces need only be attached to your teeth for about six months, instead of the year or two (or more) other braces systems require. Because let’s honest, no one wants to wear clear braces, even if they are almost invisible, for any longer than necessary. We also offer this system of clear braces in Buckinghamshire because it is typically less expensive than other systems of clear braces available.

What makes the perfect smile?

What does make the perfect smile? The truth is that the answer is different for everyone but there are often commonalities. Ultimately, a perfect smile is one that you are willing to flash at every appropriate occasion and a willingness to connect with people. These things are made much more likely when you are happy with, and proud of, your smile.

cosmetic-dentistry-in-Buckinghamshire For most people, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire, this means something that is natural and authentic looking with a little enhancement. Teeth that are gap free are often considered more attractive as well as those that are well aligned.

If you are considering cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire, talk to us at Garden View Dental because we understand these things and can work with you to achieve a look that suits you.

How can you get the most out of cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire?

We can replace missing teeth, straighten up crooked ones, close gaps and many more treatments. These can be combined to have a huge impact both on your smile and on your life.

Of course, oral hygiene is also important for confidence and everyone knows how important a diligent routine is. But, did you know that many cosmetic procedures can also help with oral hygiene? Your teeth can be easier to look after and less like to trap food or build up plaque. This also means your mouth is fresher and healthier.

We hope this is enough information to get you started and encourage you to get in touch soon and start the journey. Making the choice is not easy for some people but we believe that the better informed you are about the challenges as well as the life benefits of any treatment, the more likely you are to feel in control and able to take the leap.

Half-price initial consultation for new patients

You can start your Buckinghamshire cosmetic dentistry journey with our latest offer of a50% saving at Garden View Dental Care.

cosmetic-dentistry At Garden View Dental Care, we normally charge £65.00 for an initial consultation for patients who are new to our practice. This is something that everyone who is new to the practice needs to have before they can move on to other treatments, including cosmetic dentistry. This is because it is important that any cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire is carried out on patients in good oral health.

Once we are assured that your mouth, teeth and gums are in good health, we can start to look at making sure your smile is also in tip-top shape. We have a range of treatments to improve your smile.

Maybe your teeth have become stained or discoloured over the years, in which case we can brighten them up with a teeth-whitening treatment. You can either have Power whitening treatment in the dentist’s chair, which will lighten up your teeth by several shades in just an hour. In Buckinghamshire, cosmetic dentistry treatments like this are perfect for important occasions, such as a wedding or job interview.

We also offer home whitening, which you can do yourself over a period of a couple of weeks.

Or, if you have worn, chipped, slightly misaligned or gappy teeth, then porcelain veneers also offer a quick makeover, with long-lasting effects. Veneers are tiny sheaths of porcelain that slip over the tooth. They are fixed on with dental adhesive. The tooth has to be slightly ground down so that the adhesive has something to stick to, and also to make sure that your veneer is in alignment with the surrounding teeth. You can have one veneer, or a whole set, which is known as a smile makeover.

In Buckinghamshire, cosmetic dentistry treatments can also help solve the embarrassment of a mouth full of metal fillings. We can replace your amalgam fillings with white fillings, which are made from a very hard substance that can withstand the strong forces that come with chewing.

White fillings can give you back the smile of your youth.

How to live with your braces

In Beaconsfield, braces are transforming people’s smiles. More and more adults are choosing to have braces in Beaconsfield, so that they no longer feel uncomfortable about their smile, and so that they can enjoy the health benefits such as a pain-free bite, lack of muscle strain in their jaws and even reduction in headaches.

People can wear braces in Beaconsfield, for as short a time as six months, using the latest braces technology system called Six Month Smiles.

Cleaning your teeth with braces on

But during those six months, it is important to follow a good oral hygiene routine as braces, wires, springs, rubber bands, and other appliances can attract food and plaque, which can stain teeth if not brushed away. Brushing after every meal or snack with toothpaste and carefully removing any food stuck in your braces. You can also use a fluoride mouthwash to rinse around your braces. Mouthwash is good because it can get into places in the mouth that a toothbrush cannot reach. A waterpik or air flosser is also sometimes helpful to flush out stuck behind your braces.

How do I floss when wearing braces?

To floss teeth if you have braces, feed the short end of the floss through the space between the main arch wire and the upper portion of the tooth closest to the gum. Use a gentle sawing motion to work the floss on each side of the two teeth the floss is between. Be careful not to pull with too much force around the arch wire of your braces. Begin brushing teeth by using a regular soft toothbrush. Brush down from the top and then up from the bottom on each tooth with braces. Next, brush your teeth with a proxabrush or “Christmas tree” brush. This brush is specially designed for cleaning between two braces. Insert the brush down from the top and then up from the bottom between two braces. Use several strokes in each direction before moving on to the next space between two braces. Repeat the procedure until all teeth have been cleaned.

How cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire can create the smile of your dreams in time for Christmas

If you think cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire involves lengthy treatment that takes months to complete, it’s time for a rethink. Garden View Dental Care offers a range of cosmetic treatments, some of which could give you the best Christmas present in the world – the smile you’ve always dreamt of.

cosmetic-dentistry-in-Buckinghamshire Cosmetic dentistry is a broad umbrella term that covers a wide range of treatments large and small. At our Buckinghamshire clinic we believe that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all treatment – your smile is just as individual as you are, and what constitutes the perfect smile to one person may be entirely different to the next.

That’s why, when you come into our Buckinghamshire clinic for a cosmetic dentistry consultation, your dentist will take the time to get to know a bit about you and what you want to achieve from any treatment, before carrying out a complete clinical examination. After discussion of their findings with you, your dentist will then draw up a customised treatment plan.

Should you be looking to boost your smile in time for the fast-approaching Christmas party season, there are a number of options available, and it’s best to book a consultation at our clinic as soon as possible, because cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire should only take place in a healthy mouth, so if you have any underlying issues such as tooth decay, your dentist will treat these first.

Among the popular, fast ways to boost your smile available from Garden View in Buckinghamshire are:

Teeth whitening

The cornerstone of cosmetic dentistry, and the most popular procedure in the world, when carried out by a qualified dentist this is a safe and reliable way to remove common stains from your teeth. You can carry out the procedure at home under your dentist’s supervision, or have power whitening here in our Buckinghamshire dental clinic.

Porcelain veneers

These thin porcelain shells are carefully crafted to fit over the surfaces of your front teeth, improving their appearance. Veneers can be used for minor spacing and alignment issues, as well as for chips and stains. You will need two to three appointments for this procedure.

The faster way to a great smile with Six Month Smiles

At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, Six Months Smiles provides a short-term orthodontic treatment with a modern twist on tried-and-tested methods to correct crooked teeth. In dentistry, braces are a widely used and effective method to give patients straight, healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. Six Month Smiles has modified certain aspects of the treatment and the materials used in braces to give adults a cosmetic solution that fits your lifestyle.

What is so innovative about Buckinghamshire’s Six Month Smiles?

For a start, Six Month Smiles offer an average treatment time of only six months (which means somewhere between four and nine months, depending on your teeth). Traditional braces treatments usually take between one year and three years or more. Along with reduced treatment times, Six Month Smiles uses Lucid-Lok® clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which are barely visible, meaning you can go about your daily business without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed, as is so often the case for adults fitted with traditional metal braces. Low forces and short overall orthodontic treatment times increase comfort, safety, and hygiene. Six Month Smiles braces have a predictable final result. And, because no one likes to spend more time than necessary at the dentist, we Six Month Smiles use Patient Tray Kits™ to ensure that your appointments are fast and comfortable. Six Month Smiles is typically less expensive than traditional braces, aligner therapy, or veneers.

What do other patients say about Six Month Smiles?

Make your smile as beautiful as it is healthy

So many people struggle with the fact that, despite having a mouth that is in great shape health-wise, their smile leaves something to be desired.

cosmetic-dentistry All it takes it one crooked, chipped or worn tooth, or a little discolouration, for someone who is in otherwise great dental and oral shape, to feel less than comfortable about smiling, eating and laughing.

Yet cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire offers various different techniques, some which can be completed in a single visit, to bring out the best in your smile.

At Garden View Dental in Buckinghamshire, cosmetic dentistry covers an entire range of treatments, from the latest and best in dentures, bridges and crowns, to the state-of-the-art techniques, such as tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, white fillings and dental implants.

Cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire can fit porcelain veneers over chipped, broken and discoloured teeth, or even slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers are durable, very thin covers of porcelain that the dentist fixes over your natural teeth. The dentist needs to remove a thin layer of enamel to prepare the right surface for the veneers to adhere to, and to ensure the veneers are in line with your other teeth, but once the veneers are in place, they look and behave just like natural teeth. You can have one, two, several or even a whole mouthful of veneers fitted.

If your teeth are crowded, crooked or misaligned, or your bite is uneven in some way, then cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire can reposition them using Invisalign invisible aligners. These do the same job as braces, without being fixed to the teeth. Instead, aligners are very snugly-fitting transparent plastic covers that slip over the teeth. Each aligner deliberately does not quite match your teeth, but instead matches the next step along the way to their desired position, and the pressure of not quite fitting moves the teeth over a matter of months. Aligners can be removed to make it easier to eat, and to brush your teeth, or if you want to appear at your very best for important events.

In Buckinghamshire, cosmetic dentistry at Garden View also offers dental implants to replace lost teeth, and professional tooth-whitening.

What injuries mean I need to see an emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire?

An emergency dentist is vital if you have suffered an accident, perhaps playing sports or doing work around the house, or maybe even in your daily work, that leads to a chipped or broken tooth, or, one or more teeth coming out entirely.

Our emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire will also do their very best to see you on the same day if you are suffering from toothache, or have developed an abscess or trauma, avulsed teeth or facial swelling.

I have lost a tooth. What do I do?

First of all, it is very important to bring that tooth with you when you come to see the emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire. This is because there is a very good chance that the emergency dentist will be able to replace that lost tooth, and the sooner you come to see the emergency dentist, the higher the chance of being able to put that lost tooth back into your mouth. Wrap it up carefully, and bring it along to your emergency dentist appointment.

What happens when I get to the emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire?

Good question. This is the procedure that we follow at the emergency dentist. Firstly, our emergency dentist will carry out a thorough examination of the injured area. This may include taking dental x-rays to determine the extent of the damage to your teeth and jaw. Of course, if you are suffering pain, we will also use a local anaesthetic to numb the area. The emergency dentist will also sterilise the area, so that the risk of infection is reduced. Then, depending on the case, the emergency dentist, will restore the damaged or lost teeth.

Rediscover your smile

In Buckinghamshire, cosmetic dentistry is helping people rediscover their lovely smile.

Cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire is not the same as general dentistry. The focus is more on the appearance of the smile, teeth and gums. A cosmetic dentist studies the alignment of the teeth, asking themselves questions such as:

cosmetic-dentistry-in-Buckinghamshire ‘Has this mouth got too many teeth?’ – a condition known as over-crowding.

‘Are these teeth leaning far in or too far out’ – misalignment is the technical term for this condition.

‘Can I see too much gum when the patient smiles?’ – a feature known as gummy smile.

These are the naturally-occurring problems that patients come into Garden View Dental to ask about treatment for.

People also develop dental problems as they go through their daily lives. These include:

Increasing numbers of amalgam fillings in the mouth that can make patients feel self-conscious when they laugh;
Teeth becoming increasingly stained and discoloured, through drinking tea, coffee, red wine and through smoking, and sometimes just through living, so that teeth no longer look pearly clean, even after a good scrub and polish from the hygienist;
Teeth have been or knocked out, or fallen out, or been extracted due to infection or too many fillings.

These are all problems that people seek help for. In Buckinghamshire, cosmetic dentistry is no longer seen as self-indulgent. Increasing numbers of people recognise the benefits of a great smile of sparkling, evenly-toned, straight, healthy-looking teeth. That feeling of well-being comes from several sources. Firstly, the smiler is no longer carrying the burden of self-consciousness, maybe even outright depression caused by the condition of their teeth and mouth. Secondly, the mouth and teeth are in a better state, and because straighter teeth help prevent oral diseases, the patient’s physical health is better. Thirdly, smiling releases natural happiness chemicals, such as serotonin and beta-endorphins, leading to levels of increased happiness. With all these benefits, how could cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire can change lives.

At Garden View Dental, cosmetic dentistry in Buckinghamshire, can help you reclaim the smile you want. Our treatments include teeth whitening,white fillings, porcelain veneers, biocompatible restorations, gum contouring. One or more treatments can be combined to create a treatment package known as the Smile Makeover.
