Improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry in St John’s Wood

As we grow older, our teeth experience normal wear and tear. However they can also become chipped, misshapen or discoloured. Lifestyle factors can affect your smile as well. For example, smoking and drinking tea and coffee regularly can stain your teeth, while playing contact sports may damage or break your teeth. Sometimes, even genetics are against us, since not many people are born with perfectly straight teeth.

Not having your ideal smile can be a serious blow to your self-esteem. More importantly, it may also lead to dental health issues. Misaligned and damaged teeth can cause you to chew irregularly and put unnecessary pressure on your jaw.

With cosmetic dental treatments, our experienced cosmetic dentists at Aura Dental in St John’s Wood can help you overcome some of these problems and achieve the smile of your dreams. Two particularly popular options are teeth whitening and veneers. Here’s a quick run through of what they involve and how they can help enhance your smile.

Teeth whitening

Many people aren’t happy with the look of their teeth because they are stained or yellowed. You can now restore the brilliance back to your teeth with cosmetic dentistry in St John’s Wood.

Smoking is a major factor contributor to staining.Likewise, coffee, tea, red wine and dark-coloured foods can leave behind stains. Certain medications can also darken your teeth. We offer professional teeth whitening treatment with our in-clinic and at-home teeth whitening systems. Both treatments are safe and effective with promising results. When you come to see one of our experienced dentists, your teeth will be examined to find out if teeth whitening is right for you.

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain attached to the fronts of your teeth. They are used to recreate the natural look of your teeth and are just as strong. Porcelain veneers are commonly used to change the shape, colour and size of your teeth. They can also be used to disguise slightly misaligned or crooked teeth.
