St John’s Wood smiles for all

Our dedicated staff and highly qualified, expert dental practitioners have been devoted to providing residents of the St John’s Wood community with a bespoke, patient driven dental experience like no other. Part of what gives the area of St John’s Wood its reputation as one of London’s most esteemed areas for health and dental care, is not just through the quality of the services provided – but largely due to the longstanding relationships that are formed between the dentists and the members of the surrounding community –  founded on trust, understanding and respect. Treatment here at Aura Dental is only carried out by a practitioner of the patient’s choosing, whom they trust wholeheartedly and with whom they share a good rapport..

Hidden orthodontics

One treatment which is particularly popular here amongst young adults and teenagers is the installation of discreet dental alignment procedures such as Invisalign retainers. Popularity of such treatments being favoured over typical fused braces or orthodontics comes from the fact that they are practically undetectable when worn, and as such, allows patients to undertake essential dental alignment, without affecting their outward appearance and attracting unwanted attention from peers or colleagues as a result. The process of installing an Invisalign retainer initially consists of a custom fitted mould – constructed from a patented SmartTrack plastic, chosen for its firm yet malleable nature – being made of the patient’s teeth. After this mouthguard is created, the patient can then take it away with them and begin wearing it at a time that is convenient to them – such as when sleeping or at home. When worn, pressure points within the retainer gradually push the patient’s teeth together over the course of treatment – which varies depending on the extent of the dental alignment needed, but typically last around twelve months. Treatment of this sort has grown vastly in popularity over recent years as it is non-invasive and far more discreet than typical fused ‘train-track’ braces, which can often deter patients from seeking dental alignment as they are concerned with how their appearance will be affected for the length of treatment.

Behind the curtain

Another discreet dental alignment service we offer here at Aura Dental is the installation of Lingual braces in St John’s Wood. These are different to Invisalign as they are constructed as a fused, non-removable form of alignment similar to conventional braces – however Lingual braces are fitted to the backs of a patient’s teeth. The benefit of Lingual braces in St John’s Wood is that they are practically invisible from the front, and as such allow patients to undertake orthodontic realignment, without attracting any unwanted attention or scrutiny. It is for this reason that Lingual braces have become increasingly popular with teenagers and young adults who are self-conscious about their appearance, yet who also require dental alignment to achieve the smiles they deserve. The benefits from Lingual braces in St John’s Wood are that patients’ smiles are restored to their fullest potential, without visibly altering their appearance in the process. This can vastly boost their self-esteem and find them with not only a renewed smile, but also renewed confidence.
