Skin Clinic Manchester – How A Cosmetic Dentist Can Help

From subtle dental changes to major facial rejuvenation, cosmetic dentists such as the ones found at our skin clinic Manchester, can perform a multitude of procedures aimed at improving your smile. From treating unsightly or discoloured teeth through to skin rejuvenation after dental implants, Manchester patients can rest assured that they no longer have to go around with a less-than-perfect smile.

Despite the fact that the vast majority of cosmetic dentistry procedures aren’t classed as emergencies and therefore don’t warrant a visit to a , many cosmetic treatments can achieve outstanding results pretty quickly. In fact, in the case of procedures such as laser teeth whitening and dermal fillers, amazing results can actually be achieved in as little as a lunch hour. Even though the above are common procedures which both men and women can benefit from, many people are still confused as to the degree of treatments a cosmetic dentist can give. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look.

Bonding and veneers

Bonding and veneers are ways in which a dentist can conceal tooth blemishes, stains, and cracks. Bonding consists of tooth coloured paste which is applied to the front of the tooth, hardened and polished to mimic a perfect tooth in both colour and shape. Veneers, on the other hand, are custom made in a dental laboratory usually from porcelain, and are in effect thin shell-like covers which are glued directly to the surface of the teeth. Just like dental bonding they cover any unwanted blemishes, staining, cracks, or chips but are more resilient and last longer.

Skin treatments

Many people also visit a  for facial rejuvenation. This can consist of one or more treatments such as dermal filling, wrinkle reduction, and skin rejuvenation, which collectively come under the category of a procedure known as a Smile Makeover. Or alternatively a person may seek just one of the above as a stand alone treatment after receiving dental implants Manchester.

All treatments are designed to enhance the smile and can help to alleviate ageing problems such as crows feet, frown lines, and general facial wrinkles.

Bleaching

Having whiter brighter teeth is more popular now than ever before and as such many people visit a cosmetic dentist for teeth whitening/bleaching procedures. These can either be carried out at the practice in the form of laser teeth whitening, or alternatively patients can purchase take-home teeth whitening kits, designed to be used in the comfort of the patient’s own home. Some cosmetic dentists also offer a combination of the two as part of a package. In-home bleaching takes somewhere between 3-6 weeks to complete, whereas in-office laser teeth whitening uses a more powerful bleaching agent which can whiten teeth in as little as one hour.

Tooth reshaping and contouring

This is a procedure commonly used to alter the position, length, and shape of problem teeth. As the name suggests teeth are cosmetically reshaped using a tiny drill to remove any problem pieces of tooth enamel. The tooth is then polished to give that perfect symmetrical look. This procedure is normally only carried out on the upper and lower teeth which are visible when you smile. In addition, cosmetic dentists can also carry our gum contouring which is designed to even out the gum line, thus enhancing the teeth creating a perfect aesthetic smile.

On some occasions a Manchester emergency dentist may refer you to a cosmetic dentist to undergo teeth reconstruction after an accident, but in most cases a visit to a skin clinic Manchester is not out of medical necessity, but usually out of choice. For this reason it’s more about finding a treatment that meets the needs and achieves the look that a patient is striving for. Moreover, cosmetic dentistry procedures are becoming more the ‘norm’ rather than the ‘exception’ as people today have better access to information about them.
