Bright smile with Hygienist at dentist near Alton

February 21st, 2013

stained discoloured teeth at alton dentist

 

Discoloured teeth can have a huge impact on your confidence when smiling.  Simple techniques of tooth brushing and visiting your hygienist regularly can make a big difference to your smile.

A patient came to see us Time Dental looking to improve her smile.  She had neglected her dental health and was very self conscious of the brown stains on her teeth.  She had not seen a hygienist in four years and regularly drank tea, coffee, red wine and beetroot juice and still wondered why her teeth were so stained!

The first thing the hygienist did was look at her current daily dental care or lack of it.  Once we had given her the right skills and tips for the best home care we started her on a course of hygiene therapy to improve her dental health and freshen her smile.  After being treated with our special sparkle polish she was beaming from ear to ear!

Brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste using an electric toothbrush and cleaning interdentally can help to reduce staining and plaque buildup.  Small lifestyle changes can help to keep your teeth bright and smile fresh.  Having drinks through a straw for example helps to by-pass the teeth and not stain them.  Eating carrots and apples has  a cleaning action that helps keep teeth bright; as does eating strawberries….in moderation!

Top tips naturally whiter teeth from dentist near Godalming

November 8th, 2012

A recent study showed that 45% of adults are unhappy with their smile.  A large portion of these would like a brighter, whiter smile.  There are a number of ways to naturally whiten your teeth.

1. This might be obvious but brushing your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes with a good electric tooth brush is a great way to remove superficial stains and plaque bacteria.

2. Using floss or interdental brushes.  Plaque bacteria can appear as creamy yellow.  If this hardens it becomes tartar that can stain easily over time.  Cleaning in between your teeth can help remove the plaque bacteria keeping your gums healthy and your teeth brighter.

3. Eating cheese after a meal can help to neutralize the acid and strengthen the teeth as it contains calcium and phosphate ions which can in turn help the appearance of teeth

4. Eating crispy foods such as apples, celery and carrots.  They have a naturally abrasive element which can help to remove stains.  Abrasive foods should still be eaten in moderation as excess can actually cause damage to your teeth.

5. Strawberries have an acidic content that also helps to whiten your teeth.  As strawberries also have natural sugars eating too many can end up causing acid erosion and tooth decay.

6. Drinking through a straw.  Coloured drinks can stain your teeth.  Drinking through a straw bypasses the teeth and avoids staining them.

7.  Baking soda.  Due to the abrasive nature of baking soda it can help to improve the appearance of teeth.  A word of caution this can permanently damage your teeth if used excessively.

The easiest way to improve the colour of your teeth is to professionally tooth whiten them.  Speak to your dentist to ensure you are suitable.  Tooth whitening is safe and easy to do.  Call us to see how we can help.

Cosmetic dentist for tooth whitening near Farnborough, Hampshire

October 4th, 2012

Cosmetic dentistry can range from tooth whitening, cosmetic recontouring, smile makeover with veneers, as well as composite bonding.

A patient at Time Dental near Farnborough in Hampshire had just finished a course of orthodontic adult braces.  The gaps between her upper and lower teeth had been closed and they were in a straight position.  However now that they were straight, she noticed that the teeth were very discoloured and the edges of the teeth were uneven.

We discussed her options for brightening her smile with tooth whitening.  One option is the in-office tooth whitening system.  This is where a high concentrated tooth whitening gel is painted onto the teeth and can whiten the teeth in an hour.  Another option is the professional tooth whitening at-home kit.  This is where special custom fit tooth whitening trays are made and the tooth whitening gel is then placed into the trays and worn for 1 hour for 10 – 14 days.  This method of tooth whitening is much more gentle than the in- office system as it is a lower concentration of gel.  If opting for the in-office system, we tend to recommend a couple of days of the at-home tooth whitening gel on top to help stabilise the in-office procedure.

Time Dental provides this service for patients in Farnborough as well as the surrounding areas in Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, and West sussex.

Cosmetic dentist gives back confident smile near Farnborough, Hampshire

September 28th, 2012

Cosmetic dentist Dr Rashid of Time Dental near Farnborough explains how cosmetic dentistry can make a huge impact on your confidence.

“A patient came to see us about gaps between her upper teeth when smiling.  She said she was generally a happy person but due to the gaps she didn’t smile much when in social situations and the colour of her teeth bothered her as she felt they were discoloured.

We talked about her options which ranged from adult orthodontic braces to help close the spaces, porcelain veneers to help close the gaps, or composite bonding.  She liked the idea of minimal preparation on her teeth so composite bonding to close the spaces to give her a confident smile felt like the best option for her.  She was also going away on holiday and wanted her smile to look its best before she went!

After a course of tooth whitening to freshen up her smile, we carried out composite bonding on four of her upper teeth to transform her smile and look her best for her holiday.”

Time Dental provides this services for patients in Farnborough and other areas in Hampshire as well as Surrey, west sussex and Berkshire.

Orthodontic braces for adults at dentist in Farnham, Surrey

September 27th, 2012

Adults are opting for straight teeth for a confident smile.  Metal train track braces may still be for teenagers but there are a number of different invisible braces options for adults.

A patient came to Time Dental in Farnham, Surrey looking for options to straighten her teeth.  She was in her late thirties and had one upper tooth out of alignment since a child.  She had heard about adult braces and wanted to know what could be done to help her.  She was now very self conscious of her smile.

One option to straighten her teeth would be to use tooth coloured fixed braces.  Due to them being the same colour as your teeth they are quite discreet. If having fixed brackets is still not what you want Invisalign clear aligners may be your answer.  They are removable adult braces and are virtually invisible and can help you straighten your crooked smile to give you more confidence.  As they are removable you can still eat the foods you enjoy and keep your gums healthy as you can easily clean in between your teeth.  A further option could be the Inman aligner which can straighten your teeth in a matter of weeks.  This is also a removable orthodontic brace that moves your front upper or lower teeth by using gentle pressure form special springs.

Time Dental provides this orthodontic adult braces service in Farnham as well as other areas in Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex and Berkshire.
