Cosmetic laser teeth whitening happening in London

Monday, August 31st, 2009

As the modern world is getting more and more obsessed with the fashion and looks, teeth whitening in London too is getting popular across the world.

Teeth whitening is one of the treatments that fall under the category of cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry too is a relatively new and evolving concept in the traditional dentistry.

There are two major types of teeth whitening available in London and across the globe. They are: cosmetic laser teeth whitening and home whitening kit.

The cosmetic laser teeth whitening is one of the latest trends in London. It aims to make your teeth whiter and brighter within just an hour thereby making your smile healthier and vibrant.

During this process, a patient is made to lie down in the chair and a protective coating is painted around the gums so that whitening gel does not spread to gums.

The whitening gel is then painted on the teeth to be whitened, usually second premolar to second premolar upper and lower arches. A light is then placed over the teeth for fifteen minutes to enhance the whitening process. The gel is then washed away. The process repeated twice more.

Home teeth whitening treatments for natural white teeth range from wearing a custom-made tray containing white gel to applying bake soda, lemon and salt to your teeth. A tailor-made mouth tray containing whitening gel is prescribed by the dentist in London.

The tray is created after taking an impression of the teeth. The tray needs to be worn during sleep or for short periods during the day. The gel in contact with the teeth releases oxygen which breaks down stains and whitens the teeth.

Results are usually seen after two weeks. Other teeth whitening treatments include over-the-counter gels and whitening strips.

In London, at Pearl Dental clinic, there are four types of teeth whitening treatments that are being offered. All those four treatments are more or less the form the treatments that we discussed above or the combination of those.

Latest technology makes crowns/veneers treatment less time consuming

The treatment of crowns and veneers is yet another important part of cosmetic dentistry in London and UK.

Dentists in London and UK are well-equipped to exactly analyse the situation of your overall health and help you with the treatment of crowns and veneers.

As it is a part of the cosmetic dental treatment, the treatment of crowns and veneers aims to improve the smile of a person. It is upto the dentist whether to prescribe the treatment of crowns and veneers to the patient or not.

Usually, it is said that veneers are like false finger nail extensions. Veneers tend to hide the natural original teeth. They are fitted at a place where an improved appearance is planned through changing the form, shape and colour of the teeth.

The reason why veneers are more invasive is because the outer part of the teeth surface is shaved off to create space for thin tile-like veneers to be bonded onto the tooth.

Laboratory technicians use composite material to make the veneers as suggested by the cosmetic dentists in London and UK. This is a kind of material that can be directly used to the tooth surface. Though composite veneers are cheaper, porcelain veneers are popular due to durability and less chair side time required by the dentist.

Dental crowns which share the colour of the tooth are also prescribed by the dentist in case a patient wants to improve her smile! Crowns are often recommended following a root canal filling to protect the remaining weakened tooth.

Now, with the arrival of newer techniques such as computer driven milling machines like the Cerec makes the treatment of crowns easier. This latest technology is time saver and therefore, a patient can take multiple restorations in just one visit to a dentist in London.
