Complete Dentistry Hampshire
Complete dentistry Hampshire is ideal for those who want to transform their front ‘smiling’ teeth, veneers offer the solution to a host of dental imperfections. Hiding chips and gaps, smoothing irregularities, correcting misalignment, and whitening. Often considered the go-to treatment for anyone who doesn’t require extensive dental work. Veneers are created from eggshell-thin layers of porcelain, permanently bonded over your existing teeth.
Veneers can be used on individual teeth, in tandem with other cosmetic treatments, such as dental bridges, or to create a full smile makeover. At our dental practice, our experienced team will be able to talk you through the options, including the cost of veneers and what they can do for your smile.
If you’re considering getting porcelain veneers in Surrey, the first step is to book a consultation at Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre. If your dentist agrees that veneers are the right solution for you, the procedure will typically require two or more sessions at the practice.
Firstly, the teeth are prepped: this involves removing a thin layer of enamel, under a local anaesthetic if required. Taking a dental impression, which will be used to fabricate your veneers. A process that usually takes a couple of weeks. When your veneers are ready, they will be bonded and cured using a special light-sensitive resin.
Cosmetic Restorations
Small gaps, chips and other imperfections can often be rectified with composite bonding, using a similar, mouldable material to that of white fillings. Composite bonding is completely non-invasive, so your natural tooth won’t be affected by the procedure, and the material can be colour-matched to the rest of your smile.
While bonding does not offer the same strength as porcelain restorations, such as veneers, it is ideal for minor dental problems, and typically lasts between five and 10 years. The procedure is pain-free, and can usually be carried out in a single session at Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre.
Inlays & Onlays
If your dentist discovers dental damage or tooth decay that is too advanced to be treated with a filling. But not bad enough to require a crown, inlays and onlays offer an excellent cosmetic solution that restores both strength and function. The prosthetic fittings, created either from ceramic or composite materials using your dental impressions, are laid over the top of the tooth – either inside its edges (inlays), or outside (onlays). It is a relatively minor procedure that delivers a natural-looking result.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic dental treatments and also one of our many complete dentistry Hampshire. Which is no surprise given that it’s also one of the most cost-effective ways you can transform your smile. Choosing to have your teeth whitened at the dentist is the only way you will get the results you want.
It’s safe (only a dental professional can carry out whitening – and only after a face-to-face examination). Gentle and effective, using prescription-only whitening gel that is far stronger than anything you can buy over the counter. The treatment can usually be completed in two weeks – so you can look forward to smiling with confidence again.
If you’re considering teeth whitening in Hampshire & Surrey, book an appointment at Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre so that we can confirm you’re a suitable candidate. We’ll then send your dental impressions to the lab, which will make bespoke whitening trays that fit your smile exactly. When they’re ready, we’ll give you your prescription whitening gel, pre-measured in individual syringes.
Simply syringe the gel into your trays and wear them for the prescribed amount of time. This could be during the day or overnight; your dentist will recommend the best option for your needs. Once your treatment is complete, you’ll need to stick to a great hygiene routine to maintain the results. You can use your trays in future for top-up treatments as needed.
