What can cosmetic dentistry do for me?

Cosmetic dentistry, put simply, can create your dream smile. The term encompasses a huge number of treatments, from discreet orthodontics using tooth-coloured braces or clear aligners to teeth whitening treatment, replacement of old metal crowns with strong, aesthetically appealing alternatives to crown lengthening to treat a gummy smile. The choice is yours, and the team at Aura DentalNorth London will be there to assist you every step of the way.

The first thing your cosmetic dentist will do when you come in for a consultation is to ascertain what you like or dislike about your current smile, and what you want to achieve from treatment. They will then undertake a detailed clinical examination, before recommending the best way to achieve your smile goals. A personalised treatment plan will be drawn up for you at the end of your consultation.

Cosmetic dentistry offers a huge number of ways for a dentist to make over your smile. At North Londondental practice Aura, our skilled cosmetic team provides treatments large and small, every one tailor-made to suit your personal needs.

Once upon a time, cosmetic dentistry was only available to celebrities and the super-rich. Now, things are different and thanks to advances in techniques and materials, as well as an increase in demand, aesthetic treatments are available to more people than ever before.

If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry in North London, we invite you to join us at Aura Dental for a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist. They will listen to what your aspirations for your smile are, and will conduct a thorough clinical examination, before talking you through the relevant treatment options to achieve your smile goals. In many cases treatment takes far less time than you might imagine; depending on your requirements, your dream smile could be just a few appointments away.

North Londoncosmetic dentistry

The cosmetic dentistry menu at our North London dental practice is extensive. You may require one treatment, or a combination of two or more – your cosmetic dentist will discuss all possible treatment combinations when you come in for your first consultation.

Among the most popular items on our cosmetic dentistry menu are:

Teeth whitening

A safe and effective way to remove common stains from your teeth, when carried out by a dentist this is a fast way to boost the appearance of your smile – perfect before a graduation, wedding, or other special occasion.

Invisible orthodontics

Teeth straightening isn’t just for kids; our North London clinic offers discreet braces and aligners for adults.

Veneers

These micro-thin shells of porcelain are one of the fastest ways to create a natural-looking, beautiful white smile.

Fear of the dentist is very common, and ranges from mild anxiety to full-blown dental phobia. At Aura Dental in North London, we understand and empathise with nervous patients, but do not believe that in the 21st Century it should be a barrier to getting the treatment you need, and the smile you deserve.

Dental phobia and fear has many causes. It may be that you had a negative experience of the dentist in the past, or you may have specific triggers such as the sound of the drill. Other people fear being out of control, whilst others still are ashamed at the condition of their teeth because fear has prevented them getting dental treatment for years or even decades.

Whatever the reason for your fear of the dentist, the team at Aura Dental in North London can help. We have designed our practice to be a soothing, peaceful and calm environment, with relaxation and patient comfort in mind. We will never judge you if your teeth are less than perfect; our only concern is to help you back to full oral health.

At our North London clinic you have the option of listening to your favourite music during treatment to help you relax. If you need a little more help, we offer the services of fully-qualified hypnotist, who will provide you with techniques designed to overcome your fears.

We also offer treatment under conscious sedation. Oral sedation involves the use of tablets, and is an excellent option for those who find needles a trigger for their fear. The other option is intravenous or IV sedation, which is stronger.

Whilst you will not be asleep, so will be able to cooperate with your dentist, you will be highly relaxed and will remember little to nothing about treatment afterwards. Most importantly, you will not experience any pain.

Almost every dental practice provides root canal treatments for incisor teeth. But, there are some that refer their patients to other practitioners when it comes to the molar teeth. The usual reason they say is that it is easier to perform an endodontic surgery on the ‘biting’ teeth than on the ‘chewing’ ones.

But, is it really easier for dentists to do root canal treatments on incisor teeth? According to different dental accounts, there is no such thing as ‘easy teeth’. The difficulty level of this procedure is relative to the ability of the practitioner, much like the success rate of solving root canal problems.

Understand How Treatments Work

Many practitioners probably consider molar root canal treatment difficult; however, there is not one dental procedure that is easy. Given the location of the molars compared to the incisors, practitioners will really have a harder time treating the chewing teeth because they are at the far end of the mouth.

In addition, an endodontic surgery on the molars requires longer time and higher precision because the teeth contain more than one root. This compels practitioners to undertake a separate training and study in performing root canal treatment that is particular to the molars.

The common misconception that this procedure is difficult is clearly vague. Yes, it has its difficulties. But, at some point, people still have to consider several factors, including the efficiency of a practitioner.

Deal with the Problem Immediately

It is important to address molar root canal issues soon. Regardless of the level of anxiety people have, they need to treat the problem immediately. This helps prevent the pain from worsening and the need to extract the molars, which can substantially affect how they will chew solid foods.

There are no easy treatments when it comes to dental procedures. Each one has its particular difficulty that makes it different from the others. Visiting a well-rounded and competent dentist is essential when undertaking root canal treatment because they are efficient in carrying out the procedure safely.

Here at Aura Dental, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry treatments, including root canal treatment. We use advanced dental technology and techniques and specialise in the latest treatments, making sure our patients keep smiling inside and out. Through our advanced aesthetic dental treatments and hygiene therapy, we achieve better smiles. Schedule an appointment today.

Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t necessarily involve extensive, time-consuming work – at Aura Dental Centre in North London, our team of cosmetic dentists have several quick and minimally-invasive ways to improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Here we look at how you can quickly and easily boost your smile.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening treatment is one of the cornerstones of cosmetic dentistry. It’s a fast way to remove the stains that build up on our teeth through habits such as smoking, drinks including tea and coffee, and certain medicines.

When carried out by a trained cosmetic dentist, teeth whitening treatment is a fast and entirely safe way to improve your smile.

At Aura Dental in North London we offer several options for patients interested in teeth whitening. Call in to see us for a cosmetic dentistry consultation and your dentist will discuss all the options with you in detail, so that you can make an informed choice about your treatment.

We offer two options for in-practice teeth whitening – LED teeth whitening and whitening with the popular Zoom teeth whitening system. There’s also the option for home teeth whitening, which uses custom-made, lightweight whitening trays and gel and take about two weeks to complete.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain that are placed over the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are one of the quickest procedures in cosmetic dentistry and can either improve the look of a single, discoloured tooth or can give you a full smile makeover.

You will need two appointments at our North London dental practice to have your veneers fitted. At the first, your dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and will take impressions of your teeth. At the second appointment your veneers will be attached with strong dental adhesive.

Cosmetic dentistry is the specialist area that deals with the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. At Aura Dental in North London, our skilled cosmetic dentists offer a wide range of aesthetic treatments that can boost the appearance of your smile – and your confidence, too.

Many treatments fall under the umbrella of cosmetic dentistry. Treatments range from quick sessions of teeth whitening to full smile makeovers, involving discreet orthodontics, full-mouth restorations with dental implants, and porcelain veneers to correct a multitude of aesthetic issues.

If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry, you should book a consultation with a cosmetic dentist here at our North London dental practice. They will listen to your concerns about your smile and will carefully examine your teeth and gums before recommending the best course of treatment. In some cases you will require just one treatment, while in others a combination of two or more treatments will be best.

Among the treatments on the cosmetic dentistry menu at Aura Dental in North London are:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is the most popular treatment in cosmetic dentistry. It involves using special dental bleaching products to remove the stains that build up on our teeth from drinks such as tea and coffee, habits such as smoking, and certain medications.

Discreet orthodontics

Discreet orthodontics uses braces or aligners to move your teeth into a better position. The aligners are clear and removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink and to clean. Discreet braces comprise clear or tooth-coloured wires and brackets, meaning few people will notice you are having treatment.

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain placed over the front surfaces of the front teeth to improve their appearance. They are an excellent treatment for permanently discoloured, slightly crooked or gappy teeth when orthodontic treatment is not appropriate.

Cosmetic dentistry is the specialism that deals with the aesthetic appearance of the teeth. At Aura Dental in North London we are seeing an increasing number of adult patients who want to use discreet braces to improve the aesthetic appearance of their teeth.

Many adults want straighter teeth but don’t want to wear traditional metal braces, which are very obvious in the mouth. Discreet orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas of cosmetic dentistry. It involves the use of clear or tooth-coloured braces or aligners to straighten your teeth, without anybody knowing about it.

At our North London dental practice we offer orthodontic consultations to anybody thinking about having tooth-straightening treatment. During this consultation your dentist will carefully examine your mouth and will recommend the best course of orthodontic treatment, going through the pros and cons of all options to enable you to make an informed choice.

Orthodontic options

Aura Dental in North London offer several discreet orthodontic options as part of our cosmetic dentistry options. Depending on your individual needs, we may recommend braces or aligners. Here are some of the treatment options available:

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are tooth-coloured braces used to correct the mild to moderate alignment issues with the front teeth. Because treatment is focussed on the front six to eight teeth – those that show when you smile – the average treatment time is just six months. Your dentist will advise you of your projected treatment times at your initial consultation.

Inman Aligner

This removable aligner quickly and safely moves your teeth into a more desirable position. Treatment typically takes just six-18 weeks.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the most popular options in cosmetic dentistry for patients who want straighter teeth. These clear aligners are removable and gently move your teeth into a new position.

At Aura Dental in North London, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of treatments under the banner of cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic treatment focuses on the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Our skilled dentists have helped many patients of all ages to achieve the smile of their dreams.

Picking the perfect treatment

Some patients come to our North London practice with a clear idea of which treatment they would like. Others know what they would like to achieve – straighter teeth, for example – but are unsure of how best to do it. Still others know they are unhappy with their smile, but are unsure what they would like to change.

That’s why at Aura Dental we offer consultations for any patient interested in cosmetic dentistry. You will have the chance to discuss your wants, needs and concerns with your skilled cosmetic dentist, who will listen to you and will carefully examine your teeth, gums and surrounding structures before presenting all the relevant treatment options to help you attain your smile goal.

At the end of your consultation, your dentist will go through the pros and cons of any treatment option, enabling you to make an informed choice about cosmetic dentistry before starting treatment.

Cosmetic dentistry – common treatments

Among the aesthetic dental treatments we offer are. . .

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that can be used to cover a single discoloured or permanently stained tooth, or can give you a full smile makeover. They can correct minor misalignment, issues with the height or shape of your teeth, and can close small gaps.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening uses special whitening gel to remove stains from your teeth. When carried out by a dentist it is a fast, effective and safe way to boost the appearance of your smile.

If you are unhappy with any aspect of your smile, cosmetic dentistry could offer the perfect solution. At Aura Dental in North London our skilled cosmetic dentists have a wealth of treatments and techniques at their disposal to help you get the smile you’ve always dreamt of.

At our North London dental practice we offer a huge selection of cosmetic dental treatments. Whether you are looking for a quick smile boost or a complete smile makeover, we are confident we can help. Here are some of our most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. . .

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments in the field of cosmetic dentistry. It’s also one of the fastest ways to boost your smile. Our teeth become stained by food and drink, certain medicines and by smoking. Teeth whitening uses special bleaching gel to remove these stains.

At Aura Dental we offer both home teeth whitening and whitening here in our North London practice.

Cosmetic braces

Braces are the ideal way to straighten crooked or crowded teeth. For adults who do not wish to wear conventional metal braces, we have a number of discreet orthodontics options available, including the clear, removable Inman Aligner and Six Month Smiles discreet cosmetic braces, which can straighten your teeth in just six months.

Veneers

Cosmetic dentistry is all about changing the aesthetic appearance of your teeth, and veneers can do just that. They are thin porcelain shells attached to the front of your teeth using strong dental adhesive. Veneers can change the colour, shape, size or length of your teeth.

These are just some of the cosmetic options available from our North London dental practice. At Aura dental we also welcome patients for consultations and examinations to help you find the perfect cosmetic treatment for your smile.

At Aura Dental we understand that many people are nervous about visiting the dentist. At our North London practice we believe in holistic dentistry for the whole family, treating the patient rather than just treating their teeth. That’s why we recommend bringing children in to the surgery from a young age.

Going to the dentist doesn’t have to be scary. We treat many nervous patients whose fear has been caused by a bad experience in childhood. At our North London dental practice we treat all patients with respect and compassion, and provide gentle, caring treatment for nervous patients of all ages.

Our dentists believe that by bringing children to the practice from a young age, perhaps at the same time as parents or older siblings, they soon learn it is nothing to be afraid of. The dentist becomes a friendly face they look forward to seeing for a check-up, and they get used to sitting in the chair and opening their mouth to let the clinician look inside.

Early visits to the practice – from when the first teeth start to appear – also reduces the risk of your child needing more extensive, invasive treatment later on. We believe in preventative dentistry, stopping problems before they start. Children in the UK still have very high levels of tooth decay and although this has started to improve, there is still much progress to be made.

Aura Dental in North London offers children’s consultation for just £35. Our practice is relaxed and welcoming and has been designed to be a place of calm tranquillity.

Our dentists use the latest technology and advanced techniques and materials to deliver the highest standards of care to all patients, at every visit.
