Our Canterbury based dental team can help you to achieve your aims.
It is not only the start of a new year, but the start of a new decade too, and what better way to go into this new era with a smile that you are proud to show off to the world. You may think that your current smile is a long way off this at the moment, but cosmetic dentistry can really change it for the better and often boost your confidence too!
Everybody is different, and some patients may require a relatively varied course of treatments to achieve their aims, whilst others may only need a single treatment. The best way to assess your options is to arrange a no obligation consultation with one of the cosmetic dentists at Bradley and Partners Dental and Implant Clinic.
Let’s start by taking a look at some of the treatments that we currently have available to help you.
Dental implants
With our own laboratory, and a wealth of experience in our team, we are well placed to be able to offer dental implants to any of our Canterbury patients who have missing teeth or are unhappy with their current replacements. Dental implants are now a well established and highly effective way of replacing missing teeth and have a number of advantages over other methods.
Teeth implants are not only long lasting, with a typical lifespan of 20 years or more with good care, but they are also straightforward to look after. No more messy cleaning rituals as with dentures; you can simply treat them as though they are natural teeth. In addition to this, implants not only replace the crown part of a tooth, but the root too, helping to prevent bone loss from occurring in that area of the jaw.
Orthodontics
Christmas is just around the corner and it’s a great time of year when we can get together with family and friends. Many of us will probably let our hair down a little more than usual and perhaps suffer the consequences the next morning!
A lot gets written about Invisalign braces, and for good reason. They are discreet, comfortable and removable for eating and cleaning. They are useful for a range of treatments, including more complex straightening; for example involving the teeth towards the rear of the mouth that you don’t generally see.
For most people, a trip to the dentist twice a year for a checkup, combined with brushing their teeth at home, is the extent of their oral health care regime.
You may not have given too much thought to Christmas yet, or perhaps just started to get ready, buying in food and maybe a few Christmas presents as well.
As you would probably expect from the name of our practice, we are firm believers that dental implants generally offer the best way to replace any lost or missing teeth.
Good oral health care should, of course, be ongoing and requires us to be diligent in our teeth cleaning and general oral health habits. For most patients this is probably carried out because they want to avoid having to have a tooth filled or even extracted because of tooth decay.
We would all like to keep our teeth for as long as we possibly can. Sometimes though, we are faced with a gap in our teeth, whether through needing an extraction, or even when a tooth gets knocked out accidentally.
