Quick and Easy Ways to Get a Brighter Smile

Who doesn’t want an attractive smile, but you might have thought cosmetic dentistry in Southend is out of your reach, or would be too lengthy and time consuming. This isn’t necessarily the case and here at Southend Dental Care we can offer you lots of high quality treatments that will help improve your smile, often within just a very short time. It’s up to you whether you wish to just subtly improve the appearance of your teeth or if you’re looking to make more substantial changes. When you visit our Southend dentist, we can personalise your treatment plan to fit with your budget.

Typical treatments that can help improve your smile include teeth whitening, renewing old and stained fillings, and replacing broken down and ageing restorations such as crowns and bridges. Even something as simple as a hygiene appointment to scale and polish your teeth can make a difference to their appearance.

Teeth Whitening Is Highly Affordable and Very Safe

Teeth whitening is hugely popular but is always best carried out by a dental professional. Our dentist in Southend is able to use professional strength whitening gels which will be far more effective than anything you can legally buy over-the-counter or online. At the same time, we take extensive care to ensure your teeth whitening treatment is safe. Your teeth and gums will be thoroughly examined before treatment can proceed and we can customise teeth whitening to take into account any tooth sensitivity.

Renewing Old Fillings

This is another easy way to improve your smile while protecting your dental health. Fillings do need renewing every few years and it’s essential to do this as they can begin to leak and crumble, letting in disease-causing bacteria. By renewing old and stained fillings, you’ll be protecting and improving your smile. We use the very latest tooth coloured composite resin fillings that are strong and durable and which are highly biocompatible with your natural teeth. Often our dentist in Southend will use several different shades to get an exact match with your natural teeth, creating a restoration that will blend in beautifully.

Renewing Old Crowns and Bridges

It’s the same story with older restorations and although these can last for 10 years or more with proper care, they will need renewing eventually. If you have any older crowns or bridges then replacing them can make a considerable difference to your appearance. This is because of the improvements in dental porcelains over the past few years. Nowadays we can use high quality porcelains that replicate the natural liveliness and translucency of a real tooth. It’s even possible for your new crown or bridge to be entirely metal free. The results can look amazing.

Of course if you are looking for a more comprehensive smile makeover then we are here to help and it’s something our dentist in Southend can definitely advise you about.
