Porcelain Dental Crowns For Patients In The Heart Of London

May 25th, 2013

Harley Street Dental Studio provides the finest quality porcelain crowns for patients with damaged or weakened teeth. We have a commitment to amalgam-free dentistry and we use the finest materials to ensure the best aesthetics and durability.

What is a crown?

A crown, sometimes known as a cap, is a type of restoration, which is used to strengthen a damaged or decayed tooth. The crown is placed over the top of the tooth. Porcelain crowns are very popular because they match the natural colour of the teeth and are therefore indistinguishable from the rest of the tooth; they are also completely safe and very durable. Your dentist may advise you to consider having a crown if you have broken your tooth, suffered a dental injury or you have a tooth that has a large cavity or severe decay; most people also have new crowns placed following root canal treatment.

What does the procedure involve?

In most cases, placing a crown involves two appointments; this is because crowns are custom-made for the individual patient. During the first appointment, the tooth is cleaned and the damaged or decayed tissue is removed; a mould of the tooth is then created and this is used as a template for the new crown to ensure that it will fit the tooth perfectly. Once the new crown has been manufactured, it will be fitted and secured into position.

How long do crowns last?

Porcelain crowns should last for several years provided that they are well looked-after; you should care for your crown in the same way as your natural teeth. It is not possible for the crown to become decayed, but the tissue that joins the crown can become decayed so good oral hygiene is very important. If you need any advice about caring for your crown, one of our friendly dentists or hygienists will be happy to help at Harley Street Dental Studio in the city of London.

Transform Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers In The Heart Of London

May 21st, 2013

Veneers are a very popular cosmetic dental treatment and it is no surprise when you see the amazing results they can produce. At Harley Street Dental Studio we offer the finest veneer treatments around and we have created hundreds of beautiful, natural and healthy looking smile.

Why would I need veneers?

You may wish to consider having porcelain veneers if you dislike the look of your smile and you would love a brighter, healthier looking smile. Veneers are an ideal treatment for chipped, broken and worn teeth, stained and discoloured teeth and gaps between the teeth. Veneers transform even the most unsightly teeth into radiant pearly whites and they are a favourite treatment of celebrities.

About veneers

Veneers are very fine tooth-shaped sheets of laminated porcelain, which are applied to the teeth. They are positioned over the top of the natural teeth in a similar way to false nails and they hide problems such as staining and discolouration to create a flawless finish. You can choose from our impressive range of treatments, including MAC veneers, Cerinate and da Vinci veneers.

Veneers are often associated with ultra-glamorous Hollywood-style smiles, but we often prefer a more natural look and we actively encourage patients to share their expectations and preferences so that we can achieve the perfect outcome.

We can guide you through the different treatment options and help you to design your perfect smile; call us today at Harley Street Dental Studio in London to arrange a consultation!

What To Do In The Case Of A Dental Emergency For Patients In The City Of London

May 18th, 2013

Your teeth are made of strong stuff, but dental injuries are fairly common and accidents can happen at any time. If you do experience a dental injury, it is a good idea to try and see your dentist as quickly as possible.

Types of dental injury

There are many different types of dental injury and some cases require emergency treatment. Examples of dental injuries include severe dental pain, dental fractures, jaw fracture and facial injuries and dislodged teeth.

Dislodged teeth

If you lose a tooth and it comes out completely, it may be possible to save the tooth if you can get to a dentist very quickly. Pick the tooth up (holding the crown, not the root) and store it in a glass of milk; if you do not have a glass or milk to hand, clean the tooth using water and then hold it between your cheek and your gum. If a child has lost a tooth, do not advise them to do this as there is a risk of choking. Your dentist will try to re-implant the tooth and it may be possible to save the tooth.

Dental fractures

If you fracture your tooth, you may need urgent attention; arrange to see your dentist as quickly as possible. Your dentist will X-ray your mouth to check the severity of the fracture and then they will decide on an appropriate course of action. If you have sustained a facial injury and you suspect that your jaw may be broken, visit your nearest Accident and Emergency department.

Dental pain

If you have very severe dental pain, contact our reception at Harley Street Dental studio in London. Abscesses can cause sudden and serious pain and your dentist will try to ease your discomfort as soon as possible. If you experience toothache on a regular basis, this can indicate that you have tooth decay and it is a good idea to arrange to see your dentist so that treatment can be arranged before the situation gets any worse.

Chipped teeth

Chipped teeth are not usually an emergency, but you may wish to see your dentist, as chips can affect the aesthetic of your smile, as well as weakening the teeth and making them more susceptible to damage.

The Benefits Of Removable Braces For Patients In London

May 18th, 2013

The Inman Aligner is a simple, swift orthodontic appliance, which produces amazing results in a matter of weeks. The aligner is one of the most exciting and innovative treatments on the market and it is an ideal solution for patients with mild and moderate orthodontic needs.

About the Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance, which is made up of two important parts: a metal bar and a coiled spring. The two parts generate forces, which push and pull the teeth into position. The Inman Aligner is a very popular choice because it produces results so quickly. In minor cases, treatment may be complete within just 8 weeks, while almost all cases are complete within 20 weeks. This is also a great option for people who have had previous treatment and started to suffer from relapse.

What are the benefits of removable braces?

One of the major benefits of the Inman Aligner is that the appliance is removable; this means that patients have more flexibility and the ability to remove their braces to eat, drink and clean their teeth. Removable braces make it easier to keep the teeth clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease and there is no need to worry about getting food stuck between the teeth when you eat or damaging your brace on hard sweets. With the Inman Aligner, you can eat what you like and have peace of mind that you won’t get bits of food trapped in your teeth when you’re out with friends or on a date.

Are there any disadvantages?

The Inman Aligner is an incredible treatment, but it is not suitable for everyone; treatment time is very short because cases are minor or moderate. If you have more complex needs, you will be advised to consider other options and we can help you to find a more suitable solution. The Inman Aligner is not as discreet as other treatment options, such as Invisalign, but most people are willing to sacrifice this in exchange for shorter treatment time. For more information why not contact the team at Harley Street Dental Studio in the central London.

Anti-Ageing Treatments For Patients In London

May 16th, 2013

Anti-ageing treatments have become very popular over the last few years, as more and more people seek to roll back the years and give their complexion a radiant, youthful glow. At Harley Street Dental Studio we understand how important is to look and feel your best and we offer the latest facial treatments to help you to look a million dollars. Our treatments include:

Restylane

Restylane is a highly effective anti-ageing treatment, which was developed in Sweden. Restylane is injected into the skin to target specific areas of ageing skin; Restylane is a transparent gel, which is derived from natural ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, which is found in the body. The treatment process is quick and easy; a very fine needle is used to inject Restylane into problem areas and you are then free to leave. There is no need for recovery time and the treatment does not cause any pain or discomfort. Restylane is ideal for people who want a fresher, younger look; it addresses common problems including crow’s feet, laughter and frown lines, sunken skin and wrinkles around the nose.

Botox

Botox is a very popular treatment; it helps to smooth lines and wrinkles by reducing muscle contraction in the facial muscles. Botox is injected into the skin using a very thin needle; it can be used to tackle crow’s feet and lines around the eyes, nose and mouth. Botox is a safe treatment, which produces temporary results and it is up to patients whether or not they choose to top-up the treatment to prolong the results. If you are longing for a fresher, younger and smoother complexion and you have started to worry about lines and wrinkles, Botox could be the ideal solution.

If you would like to find out more about our amazing facial treatments, contact Harley Street Dental Studio in the heart of London today!

Patients In London Can Now Have Clear And Discreet Invisalign Braces

May 14th, 2013

If you are looking for a discreet orthodontic treatment, look no further than Invisalign, one of the world’s most popular “invisible” brace systems.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system, which uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move the teeth and address orthodontic issues. Each aligner is custom-made for the individual and treatment is planned in advance using sophisticated computer software. Invisalign is a very popular treatment because it enables patients to get a beautiful, straight smile without having to worry about wearing visible braces. As the aligners are clear, the braces are virtually invisible to others, so you can smile with confidence without having to worry about what other people think.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of aligners, which are manufactured according to the individual patient’s orthodontic prescription. Each aligner is slightly different and the treatment is planned from start to finish before the first aligner is even fitted. This is beneficial for patients because they can see the expected outcome before they start treatment. Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and then replaced with the next one in the series until treatment is complete and you have a beautifully straight smile. The aligners are removable, but they should be worn for at least 21 hours per day in order to ensure a successful outcome. The aligners should be taken out when you eat, drink and clean your teeth.

Who can benefit from Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign treatment is an ideal option for patients who are eager to get the results they want without the hassle or inconvenience of wearing bulky, unsightly braces. Invisalign aligners are suitable for most patients with moderate orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, spaces between the teeth, crowding and problems with the bite. If for some reason you are not a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment, we will be happy to discuss other options and recommend treatments that will be more suitable for your needs at Harley Street Dental Studio in London.

Dental Implants For Missing Teeth Treatment For Patients In London

May 14th, 2013

Dental implants are a modern and innovative tooth replacement treatment; they are designed to replace the root section of a missing tooth and they can replace any number of missing teeth. Dental implants are a long-term treatment which should last for several years and they can be attached to a single crown, a dental bridge or a denture.

Why should I choose dental implants?

Dental implants are the best long-term treatment for missing teeth and there are numerous reasons why it is important to replace missing teeth. Gaps in your smile will not just have aesthetic implications, they also increase your risk of oral health problems, affect tooth positioning and make it difficult to eat and speak properly.

Dental implants are versatile, durable and they provide optimum aesthetics and functionality; once the implant has integrated and the restoration has been attached, the tooth will look like and function in exactly the same as a natural tooth.

The dental implant treatment process

Before dental implants are fitted, we invite patients to attend a consultation so that we can check that implants are a suitable treatment. Before the implants can be fitted, we drill a small socket (or sockets, depending on the number of implants required) in the jaw bone. The implant is then fitted into the socket and left to integrate into the bone; this process, which is known as osseointegration, takes between 3 and 9 months and is followed by another appointment to attach the new restoration.

All-on-4 at Harley Street Dental Studio

At Harley Street Dental Studio in London we are delighted to offer our clients same day implant treatment using the amazing All-on4 implant system. This system uses just four implants to support an entire arch of new teeth; All-on-4 implants are positioned at specific angles to make the most of the strongest bone tissue and patients are able to show off their brand new smile after just a few hours at the practice.

Patients In The City Of London Can Achieve A Healthy Sparkling Smile

May 9th, 2013

Nothing makes you look healthier than a shiny, bright smile, so why not visit the Harley Street Dental Studio and have your teeth professionally whitened? We are proud to use the best treatments on the market and we highly recommend Enlighten whitening, one the most popular professional whitening treatments in the world.

What is Enlighten?

Enlighten is a professional whitening system, which combines at-home and in-chair treatment. To begin with, the patient wears a custom-made whitening tray, which contains whitening agent, for 14 days at home (most people wear their tray during the night so that it does not interfere with their daily routine) and on the 15th day, we invite clients to come into the surgery for a one-hour power whitening session to give the teeth a radiant glow. The in-chair session is completely painless and we encourage patients to sit back and relax; after one hour, the teeth will look visibly lighter and brighter and you can start showing off your brand new smile.

Is whitening safe?

Whitening is a very safe and simple treatment when administered by a trained professional. We take health and safety very seriously and hold a consultation with all patients prior to treatment. If you have existing oral health problems, these will be addressed before treatment is recommended.

Some patients experience very mild sensitivity after whitening treatment, but this should subside very quickly.

What are the benefits of whitening treatment?

The benefits of whitening treatment are not just aesthetic; your smile will look great, but this will also make you feel great and boost your confidence. When you smile with confidence, this enables you to create really positive first impressions and build new relationships. Call us today at Harley Street Dental Studio in London to find out more about our whitening services!
