Whether you require general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry or restorative treatments, we have a wide range to suit all requirements – you shouldn’t need to go anywhere else. As such, we hope to get to know you well over the years, but our focus is on preventive treatments, so if there is a way that we can help you to look after your teeth and gums to prevent issues from occurring, then that is what we will happily do.

For our younger patients, we particularly focus on advising how to take care of the teeth and gums as good habits built in the younger years will pay dividends in the future years of adulthood. Our team is friendly, caring and professional. We understand that not everyone relishes the thought of visiting the dentist, and for some, it can cause genuine anxiety, and may even be a phobia. We will always take treatments at your own pace and aim to make your experience as relaxing as possible.

One of our treatments that can improve the appearance of your smile and reduce anxiety is Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

For patients who have mild to moderate alignment issues such as underbites or overbites, crossed teeth, gapped teeth or crowded teeth, we can offer a discreet treatment with Invisalign aligners. These are made of plastic and may be removed. They must be worn over the teeth and gently apply pressure to the teeth to move them into the desired position. Treatment can take around 6 to 18 months and consists of the aligners being changed on a weekly basis. You will only have to come and see your dentist St John’s Wood here at Aura Dental every 6 weeks for a checkup and receive the next batch of aligners.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign offers flexibility for the patient because the aligners may be removed for up to 2 hours a day. This means that you can remove them when you are eating and drinking, so you won’t need to worry about cleaning masticated food off them! Also, you can remove them when you are playing sports, attending a social event or just feeling like having a break – the choice is all yours!

The aligners can also be custom-made for your mouth using iTero technology, which is what we use to scan your mouth to get the measurements for your aligners to be made. The scan can also be used to generate a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after treatment, which can be a really motivating experience at the start of your Invisalign journey (cue X-Factor music!). Joking aside, your smile will certainly be improved with Invisalign, and this can improve your self-esteem once you have completed your treatment.
