Cosmetic Dentistry in Cheadle, Gatley

Behind the gleaming celebrity smiles that are filling the silver screen lies a secret.

Rather than throwing money at facelifts, tummy tucks or boob jobs, many of the star actresses and actors have opted for something far more simple, but ultimately powerful – the perfect smile.

Overseas in the States, Cosmetic dentistry is all the rage and having bad teeth is practically out of the question. The trend is catching on fast in Britain as well and the choice of treatments is multiplying by the day.  There are many different types of veneers, bridges, crowns and white fillings to choose from all supported by computerised smile analyses that look at the relationship between lips, gums and teeth.

We at Cheadle decided to showcase our most popular treatments, so we have rounded up six different types of cosmetic dentistry and we go into detail to explain what each treatment does, what it might cost and how long it could take.

Dr Jussab - cosmetic dentistryDr Jussab, a clinical director has worked in many specialist practices gaining vast experience in all cosmetic procedures and has changed several people’s lives in doing so. We are able to offer a free assessment whereby we can discuss your exact needs and how we can fulfil them.

 

Types of Cosmetic Dental Treatment in Cheadle Dental

  1. Teeth whitening

Cosmetic dental treatment - cosmetic dentistryTeeth Whitening is aimed at solving your issues with yellow teeth. Losing the colour of your teeth is part of the ageing process and it is often a completely natural occurrence. Teeth start to change colour from teenage years and genetics also play a part in white teeth. So, for example, if your parents have yellow teeth, you are more likely to have the same issue.

We at Gatley, Cheadle Dental Practice, believe that whitening is advised for people who suffer from teeth stained by food, drink such as red wine, coffee and tea – and tobacco – without harming their teeth.

There are 2 types of teeth whitening techniques to choose from:

Home whitening and enlighten evolution ( chairside and home combined ) – leading whitening treatment amongst celebrities

Pure laser technique:

A quick fix way to whiten teeth.

It is done by using the power of laser beams – or the more updated light-emitting wavelengths – to provide an intense light that activates a whitening agent made from carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide pasted onto the enamel of the tooth. This chemical reaction lifts the stain out of the enamel and is then washed away by the dentist.

  • The Time: About one-and-a-half hours.
  • The Durability: Needs topping up once every three to six months.
  • Cost: From around £600-£800 a session.

Home Kit

How it works: The patient is fitted with a tailor-made mouthguard. Instead of a laser, the patient wears the mouth-guard filled with whitening gel which is worn each night for around three weeks. This does not harm the teeth but slightly changes the composition of the dentine which is the part of a tooth that is hard, contains calcium and lies underneath the enamel thus making it appear whiter.

  • How long does it take?: Two to three weeks.
  • How long does it last?: Between three and six months.
  • Cost: From around £500.
  1. Veneers

Veneer procedure at Cheadle dental practiceThis is a versatile technique used to correct crowding in the mouth, cover badly broken teeth, badly stained teeth, reshape teeth or close up gaps. There are many different types of veneers that are used to increase the dimension of the tooth, thicken them, make them squarer or longer. The process is done using thin slices of porcelain called veneers that are shaped and coloured to correspond to the existing teeth. The veneer is bonded onto the front surface of the tooth using a chemical bonding agent. At Cheadle, we aim to use a minimal amount of drilling is used to curve the contours of the veneers.

Over time, the appliances move teeth to straighten them out.

Each veneer is then bonded to the front of the tooth on the subsequent visit

What Our Patients Say?

Dear Dr Shabs. This is just a note to say thank you SO MUCH for everything you’ve done for me and my disasterous teeth! Ever since I smashed my front teeth in freshers week I felt like I’ve been in the best possible hands! However, I’ve just finished a teaching course and am going to go and teach English in Jordan in two weeks time and therefore have had to register somewhere else 🙁 Whenever I’m back living in Manchester again though, I’ll be back. Cheers again, Helen (the one who does Arabic)

FAQ's

This also depends on the type of treatment being considered. However it is always a good idea to bring someone along who can help keep you calm beforehand and take you home afterwards which we at Cheadle suggest for your own safety. We can advise more specifically once we know what your procedure will involve.

The results of your anti-wrinkle treatment can last anytime up to 12 months. You can opt for ‘top up’ treatments after that if you see the effects fading, but this should be discussed with your dentist. Derma fillers can also last around six to 12 months.

We at Cheadle want to create an atmosphere where we always provide our patients with comprehensive post-treatment advice and we stay in touch by phone for a while afterwards to make sure there are no problems and that recovery is going well. We will make a series of check-up appointments afterwards to make sure things are settling down well.
