Cosmetic dentistry has boomed in recent years, thanks to the increased availability of treatment, competitive prices and a growing pressure to look good, but cosmetic treatments are not just for upcoming A-list actors, singers and models and these treatments are accessible to everyone, regardless of your age.

If you have been pouring over pictures of people flashing beautiful, healthy-looking smiles, thinking that you would love to have the same smile, but feel that you are too old, this is not the case.

Orthodontic treatment

Most people still associate braces with teenagers and envisage bulky, train-tracks when they think about orthodontic treatment. However, a lot has changed and adult orthodontic treatments are becoming increasingly popular. Gone are the days when treatment meant being lumbered with an unsightly metal brace, now you have the option of a myriad of treatments, including removable appliances, discreet fixed braces and invisible aligners.

Orthodontic problems are very common in London and they do not heal themselves, so if you often regret not having treatment during your teenage years and constantly feel that your smile is letting you down, it’s never too late to have treatment, as long as your teeth are healthy and strong.

Tooth whitening

Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments and it’s not hard to see why. The procedure takes less than an hour in most cases and the results are incredible and instantaneous. As you age, your teeth can become discoloured, especially if you smoke or are partial to a coffee in the morning and a glass of red wine in the evening. Whitening treatments are suitable for most people and they give your smile an instant healthy glow, which will make you feel great and look younger.

How do I find out more?

Having dental treatment can be a daunting prospect, especially if you suffer from dental anxiety or haven’t been to a dentist in a long time. If you want to find out more about how a cosmetic dentist could help you transform your smile, call the practice for a consultation. During the consultation, you can ask as many questions as you want and get an idea of the difference a session in the dental chair could make to your appearance and confidence.
