The simplest way to keep your smile the best it can be is to take professional advice on the best way to clean your own teeth. Ensure you use the appropriate toothbrush with the correct size head, the appropriate toothpaste, and cleaning aids to use in-between your teeth. This will allow you to keep your teeth nice and clean on a daily basis.
Keeping your teeth clean is one of the best ways to improve your smile.
Attending for regular dental check-ups will ensure that your teeth will be retained and maintained for as long as possible before requiring any further treatment. Your dentist will advice you on how long to leave in between check ups.
Modern techniques to whiten (bleach) your teeth are non-invasive and non-damaging to teeth if carried out by trusted and well-trained dental professionals, including dentists and dental hygienists.
Whitening teeth can provide a dramatic and improved effect on patients who have stained or darker teeth, and in conjunction with good oral hygiene and good cleaning, together with routine dental check-ups, can be one of the easiest ways to achieve a dramatic improvement in the appearance in your teeth.
If you have white fillings in your front teeth which have become stained due to diet, tea/coffee and red wine etc. changing the white fillings or even just polishing these can provide a huge improvement.
In many cases the application of small white fillings can improve the overall appearance of your teeth and change the shape, with minimal damage or affect. This can be done with a trusted dental practitioner, advice can be given on that from good dental practices.
For teeth that are not entirely in line and where other steps have been taken, including the above, movement of teeth into position of a more favourable and pleasing appearance can be carried out.
There are multiple options available with regards to choice of brace, there are clear aligners, for example Invisalign, or fixed fixed braces with either clear brackets or stainless steal. The Campbell Clinic also offer a 'lingual brace' option which incurs brackets being attached to the teeth from the inside surface. The system we use is called Incognito.
In cases where teeth are very worn or badly damaged, extensive restorative work including crowns, bridges and veneers, together with other treatments to fill any existing gaps can provide dramatic overall improvements in teeth.
Filling spaces at the front of your mouth using dentures, bridgework or dental implants can provide an excellent improvement in appearance and overall function of teeth.
In some cases, removal of all remaining teeth is required either in one jaw or both. In these cases, there are multiple options for replacement of teeth including provision of a denture, implant retained or supported dentures, or implant fixed bridgework.
These cases are complex implant treatments and should only be carried out by practitioners who are appropriately qualified and highly experienced in the areas of these treatments.
Once confidence is achieved the best thing to improve your smile is to smile broadly and widely with confidence and happiness.
