Hygiene appointments at Dental Elegance

February 12th, 2010

Does the comment ” you need to see our hygienist” make your toes curl and send a shiver down your spine ?

If so then you will be pleased to hear, that at Dental Elegance we endeavour to provide a pain/stress free hygiene visit. We are able to achieve this by using the revolutionary needle free local anaesthetic.

This then allows our hygienist to undertake a thorough assessment of your gum health to establish if there is any gum diseases present and if so the extent. They will then be able to treat your gums which will include a scale and polish with minimal discomfort caused.

If you are concerned about the health of your gums or have had bleeding whilst brushing or flossing then book an appointment  with one of our dentists who will then refer you to our hygiene team.

Straighten, Whiten and Bond.

December 22nd, 2009

Straightening, whitening and bonding is the newest ethical fashion in Cosmetic Dentistry. In the old days veneers were used to give patients smile makeovers, but now mainly because of the Inman Aligner, straightening is so much faster and more simple that dentists have been changing the way they practice and the choices they offer their patients.

Porcelain veneers are still often necessary, but if your teeth can be aligned, and whitened, why cut them back to place veneers.?
We often find that patients who want veneers, usually then DONT once they have aligned their teeth.
Our effective great value home whitening kits work in only 35 mins a day and with Inman Aligner treatment, we will often do this at the same time as your straightening.

After straightening, many adults still have slightly worn irregular tooth edges that then need building. This is done with composite bonding often without ANY tooth removal. This can produce a beautiful outline and can easily match the beauty of a porcelain veneer smile makeover at a fraction of the cost and without any damage done to your teeth at all.

This type of treatment is being hailed as the Ultimate in Ethical Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dental Hygiene and health

October 7th, 2009

At Dental Elegance we screen all our patients very carefully for any signs of gum infection. If it is caught early treatment can be quick and advanced problems can be avoided. Gum infection or gum disease affects about 3 out of 4 adults over the age of 35. (it can affect any age group including young teenagers) . It is the biggest cause of tooth loss . There is a link between gum disease and heart disease. Gum disease progresses from mild to advanced relativly painlessly which means you are not aware of how bad your gum condition is. Gum disease or periodontitis can be a route into the bloodstream for around 700 types of bacteria found in the mouth, leading to the more serious problem of coronary heart disease. Here at Dental Elegance we have 3 hygienists who all share a wealth of experience. After your treatment is complete, not only will you see and feel a difference in your smile, you will gain inner confidence knowing that you have a clean healthy mouth.

One visit crowns and onlays – cerec in kent.

September 18th, 2009

We are really excited to announce that we now offer our patients single visit crowns and onlays . Using the latest  CAD/CAM CEREC technology allows us to prepare, fabricate and fit your brand new ceramic restoration all in one visit. Normally any crown work needed in a patient’s mouth would require 2 separate visits, impressions and temporaries. Now by using the CEREC system all we need is to take a picture scan of the tooth that needs a crown , we then use the CEREC machine to design and make the restoration. As this can be done all in one visit it means that patients can leave with their beautiful natural looking ceramic restoration in place -no impressions or temporaries are needed.

To find out how the CEREC system can help you get instant, wonderfully natural looking crowns call us now on 02088508820
