Personal Smile Check List

1	If you think that your teeth are too dark or discoloured, we can lighten them by bleaching. This is a simple treatment that is carried out at home, pain free and can produce amazing results.

2	Unsightly or misshapen teeth can be disguised to make them blend in with your other teeth using veneers.

3	Do you have old crowns on your front teeth that do not match your other teeth? We can replace them with natural looking metal-free cosmetic porcelain crowns.

4	If you have old or stained fillings that are visible when you smile, we can make them almost invisible with tooth coloured composite restorations.

5	Large old silver fillings often become unsightly. We can replace them with tooth coloured restorations – white fillings or porcelain inlay/onlays.

6	If you have missing teeth, the spaces can be filled with bridges or implant supported crowns

7	Do you have a denture which looks or feels false? We can, in the majority of cases, produce natural looking cosmetic dentures for an improved appearance and better bite.

8	Are your teeth stained or gums red and swollen? We can improve the appearance of both with periodontal treatment and polishing.

9	Are the tips of your teeth uneven? Often we can quickly, painlessly and, without the need of an anaesthetic, recontour or level the tips of your teeth to improve your smile.

10	If your teeth are crowded or out of line. We can refer you to the appropriate specialist who can provide orthodontic treatment to improve your smile.

1	Do your gums bleed when brushing? Do you get a bad taste in your mouth or around some teeth? Do your gums look red and swollen? Modern periodontal treatment will ensure trouble free, healthy gums.

2	Are you apprehensive about your treatment? We can arrange for your treatment to be undertaken with sedation.

3	Do your teeth keep breaking? We can strengthen them with crowns.

4	If you have missing teeth, certain problems can occur (other than the obvious one of spoiling your smile). There may be movement of teeth nearby which will affect your bite and then possibly the gum health. We can replace missing teeth with bridges or implant supported crowns.

5	Are you unhappy with your old plastic partial denture? We can replace it with a metal-based denture which will be stronger, tighter, less damaging to your gums and more comfortable to wear.

6	Tooth decay is painful and it can be expensive to repair the damage. Decrease your chance of decay with preventative treatment.

7	Are your teeth sensitive to cold? Consider desensitising treatment

8	If you play contact sports regularly, we can supply a custom-made mouthguard (gum shield) to protect your teeth.

9	If you feel that your teeth do not meet together very well, we can improve the effectiveness of your bite with occlusal equilibration.

10	We all suffer symptoms of stress. We can reduce headaches and tension pains around the jaws with splints.
