Introducing A Faster Fixed Braces System To The City Of London

March 11th, 2014

Many people assume that you need to wear braces for years on end if you have complex orthodontic issues; however, thanks to amazing advances in technology and science, treatments work faster than ever before and we are delighted to introduce you to Damon Braces, a fixed brace system, which caters for all orthodontic patients and provides a faster and more comfortable alternative to traditional fixed braces.

What are Damon Braces?

Damon Braces are possibly the best example of how far orthodontic treatment has come. These braces use the latest technology and design to move the teeth quickly, while also focusing on comfort and aesthetics.

Damon Braces boast self-ligating wires and a sliding bracket system, which reduces friction, speeds up the movement of the teeth and makes teeth cleaning easier.

Who can benefit from Damon Braces?

The Damon system is very versatile and the braces are suitable for most patients, including those who have more complex needs. Often, this system is offered as a more modern alternative to traditional fixed braces.

What are the advantages of Damon Braces?

Damon Braces work faster than traditional fixed braces and they are also lighter, smaller and more aesthetically pleasing. Treatment times are between 4 and 6 months shorter than conventional braces and treatment is also more comfortable, thanks to the self-ligating wires.

This treatment is also really versatile and the braces are easy to keep clean, which improves oral hygiene and helps to lower the risk of oral diseases, such as gum disease and decay.

The treatment process

Before your braces are fitted, you will have a consultation to find out more about the treatment and chat with your dentist. Your dentist will also carry out a couple of tests to make sure that this treatment is suitable for you. If you decide to go ahead with Damon Braces, impressions of your teeth will be created and your dentist will take photographs of your teeth; these will be used to make your new braces.

Once the braces are ready, they can be fitted in a single procedure, which is simple and painless and your treatment can begin. It is normal for the braces to feel a little odd and uncomfortable at first; however, you will soon get used to them and any pain will subside very quickly.

One Of Our Most Popular Treatments Is Teeth Whitening In London

March 8th, 2014

One of our most popular cosmetic dental treatments is tooth whitening. Whitening treatment gives the teeth a healthy glow and makes your smile look radiant and bright.

Our whitening treatments

We offer premium whitening products, as well as the world’s leading professional whitening treatment, Enlighten. Enlighten is an extremely effective whitening treatment, which combines the power of in-chair and at-home whitening and is the only treatment currently on the market to guarantee the lightest shade, B1.

How does Enlighten work?

Enlighten uses premium whitening agent to lighten the shade of the teeth during a 15 day period. For the first 14 days, treatment takes place at home and patients wear a custom-made tray containing whitening agent. The trays are manufactured according to moulds of the patient’s teeth so they fit perfectly.

On the 15th day, patients attend the studio for a one-hour whitening session. Your dentist will apply whitening agent to your teeth and this is activated using a light beam; during the session, we encourage to sit back, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

How could whitening treatment benefit me?

Whitening treatment has obvious benefits for the aesthetic of the teeth, but it can also have hugely positive implications for confidence and self-esteem. If your smile looks bright and healthy, this will ensure that you feel more confident when you smile or you meet new people.

How long do the results last?

With Enlighten you can expect your teeth to be lightened by up to ten shades and the results of your treatment should last for several years.

If you would like to find out more about our whitening treatments or learn more about our amazing special offers, please call our friendly reception team today! A brighter, whiter smile could be just around the corner!

About veneers

Porcelain veneers are among our most common cosmetic dental treatments and it’s no surprise, as they create absolutely amazing smiles! Veneers are tooth-shaped pieces of ultra-thin porcelain, which are placed over the natural teeth to produce a flawless smile; they are commonly used to treat problems including chipped and worn teeth.

Our treatments

We offer a range of veneer treatments to cater for all our patient’s needs and preferences. We are proud to offer the world’s best veneer treatments, which use the finest materials and produce consistently amazing results. Our treatments include:

Da Vinci veneers

Da Vinci veneers hit the big time following appearances on popular US television makeover shows and they are also a popular choice for celebrities. These veneers are made in California and they look incredibly similar to natural teeth, with a healthy looking sheen and radiant whiteness. Da Vinci veneers are light and thin and they are an excellent choice for those looking to address issues including discoloured and worn teeth.

MACveneers

MACveneers are ultra-thin veneers, which require minimal tooth preparation before they are fitted. These veneers are incredibly light and they are coloured from within using several different shades to create a natural look; they also have a lovely gloss finish, which mimics healthy, natural teeth. MACveneers are among the strongest and most durable veneers and they represent an excellent long-term investment for those looking for a stunning, natural looking smile.

Lumineers by Cerinate

Lumineers are strong, aesthetically pleasing veneers, which are made from high quality patented Cerinate material. These veneers are very thin and they can be bonded directly onto the teeth, which shortens treatment time. These veneers are also incredibly hard-wearing and they should last for around 20 years if they are well cared for.

Is It Possible To Have Fixed Braces That Are Discreet In The City Of London?

March 4th, 2014

Fixed braces often conjure images of old-school train-track braces, but times have changed, and just because braces are fixed, this doesn’t mean that they have to be unsightly and unattractive. New versions of traditional fixed braces have been released, so now you can enjoy all the benefits of fixed braces with the added bonus of enjoying discreet and comfortable treatment.

One of our most impressive fixed brace systems is 6 Month Smiles.

What is 6 Month Smiles?

6 Month Smiles is an advanced and innovative discreet fixed brace treatment, which offers the simplicity and convenience of a fixed brace, with the advantage of amazing aesthetics. These braces are made from clear wires and brackets, which are designed to blend in with the teeth for increased discretion and greater confidence during the treatment process.

At Harley Street Dental Studio in London, we understand the importance of confidence and we know that many patients have reservations about undergoing orthodontic treatment because they don’t want to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed during the treatment process. With modern treatments, such as 6 Month Smiles, your image doesn’t have to be a concern and you don’t have to worry about what other people think.

The advantages of 6 Month Smiles

The most obvious advantage of 6 Month Smiles, as the name suggests, is that it works much faster than traditional fixed braces. In the past, patients were faced with treatments times of over a year, but this system straightens the teeth in just 6 months, making it the perfect option for those who have limited time to get their smile looking just right. This is a popular treatment for couples who are planning to get married and those who are preparing for other special occasions, such as a graduation ceremony.

Six Month Smiles also offers greater discretion than traditional fixed braces, and the wires are self-ligating, which helps to increase comfort. The treatment process is very simple and straightforward and as treatment works so fast, only a few dental appointments are needed during the process.

If you’re looking for a discreet fixed brace treatment, which really works, why not consider 6 Month Smiles?

Dental Emergencies And Injuries In Central London

February 27th, 2014

Sadly, accidents can happen when you least expect them and dental injuries are fairly common. If you suffer an accident, you injure your tooth or you experience tooth pain, it is always advisable to seek attention from a dentist and to check that there are no serious issues, which need addressing.

Types of dental injury

There are many different types of dental injury, from a dislodged tooth to severe toothache. Other examples include a fractured tooth, dental abscesses and jaw problems.

In the case of a fractured or dislodged tooth, it is best to see a dentist as quickly as possible; if you have lost a tooth, it may be possible for a dentist to save it if you are able to get to the practice very quickly. In situations where a tooth is dislodged, try to clean the tooth, holding the crown section at all times and then place the tooth between the inner cheek and the gums. If you can see a dentist within 30 minutes there may be a chance of saving the tooth.

In cases where you suspect a tooth may be broken, it is best to see a dentist so that they can check the extent of the injury and act to prevent any further damage or pain.

Dental abscesses

Dental abscesses occur when the tooth or gums are infected; they are pus-filled sacs, which contain harmful bacteria. If you have a dental abscess, this must be treated by a dentist; unlike other abscesses, these abscesses are not usually treated with antibiotics and should be drained to release all the bacteria from the mouth. Abscesses are very painful and it is always best to get them treated as quickly as possible.

Dental pain

If you have a sudden onset of toothache or you suffer throbbing pain, which odes not improve when you take over the counter pain relief, see your dentist. It is likely that the pain will have an underlying cause, which needs treating quickly.

If you have any emergency dental queries or you would like advice about dental injuries, do not hesitate to contact our friendly reception team.

What To Do If You Suffer From Toothache In The Heart Of London

February 25th, 2014

Toothache is a problem, which affects most of us to some degree at some point in our lives; however, most cases of toothache are completely preventable. If you have toothache, don’t suffer in silence; come and see us and we will endeavour to make you feel comfortable and eliminate any pain as quickly as possible.

Toothache is pain, which is experienced in and around the teeth and jaw; it can be mild or severe and it is often the sign of an underlying dental problem.

What causes toothache?

The most common cause of toothache is tooth decay; decay occurs when the tooth becomes infected by bacteria, which penetrate the hard enamel surface of the tooth, causing holes to develop. Decay is caused by harmful bacteria in the mouth. Other symptoms of decay, aside from tooth pain, include tooth sensitivity, tenderness in the gums around the affected tooth and weakness when you use the tooth.

Toothache may also be caused by injury or trauma and may be symptomatic of a fracture.

What can I do if I have toothache?

If you have toothache, you can take over the counter painkillers to ease the pain; however, it is always a good idea to see your dentist so that they can check if there are any problems, such as a broken tooth, an abscess or signs of tooth decay. Treating these issues will eliminate the pain and also help to reduce the risk of problems in the future.

If you have very severe toothache and you need urgent treatment, contact Harley Street Dental Studio and we will do our best to arrange an appointment for you as quickly as possible.

Preventing toothache

The best ways to prevent toothache are to maintain good oral hygiene, see your dentist for regular check-ups and avoid eating a lot of sugary and acidic foods; it is also beneficial to wear a protective mouth guard to lower the risk of injuries if you are playing sports, such as rugby or hockey.

What Are All-On-Four Dental Implants In The City Of London?

February 20th, 2014

All-on-4 is an innovative dental implant system, that allows patients to enjoy all the benefits of dental implant treatment in a single day. Normally, implant treatment takes  months, but this impressive system provides a new smile straight away!

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a dental implant treatment, which uses four dental implants to bear an entire arch of new teeth. This treatment is also a same-day treatment; usually, implant treatment takes between 4 and 9 months and a minimum of six implants are required to anchor an entire arch of teeth.

How does All-on-4 work?

All-on-4 works by taking advantage of the strongest bone tissue in the mouth; two implants are placed at the front of the mouth, with the other two located at the back. The front implants are placed at 90 degrees and the back two implants are placed at 45 degree angles.

Once the implants are in place, the new teeth are attached and you can start reaping the rewards of treatment straightaway.

What are the benefits of All-on-4 implant treatment?

All-on-4 treatment is hugely beneficial for patients who have a large number of missing teeth and those who have experienced issues with dentures in the past; this system helps to eliminate many of the problems commonly highlighted by denture-wearers and implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. All-on-4 eliminates the problem of dentures slipping or becoming loose, which reduces the risk of irritation and enables patients to enjoy complete peace of mind when they are eating or speaking to others. Implants also help to improve the function of the mouth and they can also lower the risk of bone loss.

To find out if you are a suitable candidate for All-on-4 treatment, contact our friendly reception team to organise a consultation!

Problems With Wisdom Teeth In The City Of London

February 18th, 2014

The wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop; they are often synonymous with trouble because many people experience pain when their teeth start ti erupt. In many cases, the wisdom teeth push through without any problems, but if you do experience pain or your teeth become impacted, we are here to help.

About the wisdom teeth

The wisdom teeth are also known as the third molars; they are located at the very back of the mouth with one in each corner. The wisdom teeth are so-called because they erupt during adulthood, while the rest of the teeth develop during the childhood years. Most people start to get their wisdom teeth between the ages of 16 and 25 years old; however, this varies hugely and some people get their final teeth much later.

Problems with the wisdom teeth

The wisdom teeth are often associated with pain because some people find it very painful when their teeth finally start to erupt; in the vast majority of cases, this is due to the fact that there is a lack of room available in the jaw. If there is not enough space for the teeth to develop normally, they will become impacted; this means that the tooth starts to grow at an angle against the neighbouring tooth.

The wisdom teeth can also be painful if a tooth is decayed or infected; often, the wisdom teeth can be hard to clean because they are right at the back of the mouth and they are hard to reach with a toothbrush; this means that there is a higher risk of plaque developing on the teeth.

What can be done to relieve wisdom tooth pain?

If the wisdom teeth cause temporary problems while they are developing, but there is enough space and the pain dies down after the teeth have pushed through, no course of action is required. However, if the teeth are very painful, they are infected or they have become impacted, the best thing to do is usually to remove the tooth. Humans do not need wisdom teeth and if they are causing a lot of trouble the easiest solution is to take them out.

Wisdom tooth removal is similar to any other tooth extraction; however, in some cases, it may be more complex as a result of the position and angle of the tooth. In complex cases, patients are usually treated by a specialist oral surgeon.
