Dental implants have become a popular choice for tooth replacement. They offer many benefits over traditional dentures or bridges. Dental implants are permanently anchored into the jawbone, making them more stable and less likely to shift in your mouth. They also look and feel more natural than dentures. If you consider implant-retained dentures, we can help you decide if this is the right option.
Implant retained dentures are a type of denture that is secured in place by dental implants. Dental implants are small metal posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the implants have healed, they provide a secure anchor for the denture. Implant retained dentures are much more stable than traditional dentures and can provide a more natural chewing function.
BOOK A CONSULTATION VIEW CASE STUDIESYes, teeth whitening works if carried out by a trained dental professional. Whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to lighten the teeth. When these chemicals break down, they release oxygen. This gets into the hard, outer surface of your teeth (the enamel) and whitens them.
Yes, whitening is safe if it’s done properly. It’s illegal for anyone else other than registered dental professionals to carry out whitening procedures. A dental professional includes dentists, dental hygienists, therapists and technicians - who are registered with the General Dental Council.
Whitening doesn’t hurt, but it’s common to experience some mild sensitivity either during or after the initial treatment. This should settle down after a couple of days. If it doesn’t, get in touch with your dentist who can give you further advice.Your dentist can recommend suitable toothpaste and other products to help if you do experience sensitivity. High-quality whitening products, used by dentists, come with anti-sensitivity ingredients incorporated into their gels, to avoid this happening.
Lots of people can have teeth whitening treatment, but some people may not be suitable if they have gum disease or other dental health problems such as tooth decay.You’ll need to have consultation with your dentist before having treatment, to assess the suitability of your teeth.
If you opt for in-practice teeth whitening, it takes about two hours to achieve results, but whitening needs to be maintained with a top-up kit for around a week to ensure the results are permanent. At-home teeth whitening kits take around two to three weeks to take effect.
