Whiter teeth with professional tooth whitening at dentist near Fleet

November 15th, 2012

In a recent independent study carried out by the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) they discovered that virtually all the people interviewed (99.7%) believed that a smile is a very important social asset; and the most common response to what they would like to improve about their smile was the colour and whiteness.

Tooth whitening is still as popular as ever.  It very easy and safe to do when carried out using the professional tooth whitening products supplied by your dentist.  There are two main methods:

In-office tooth whitening.  This is where a concentrated tooth whitening gel is placed on the teeth for an hour and can make instant results.  Some gels need light activation. sometimes called “laser” tooth whitening other systems do not need the light and are chemically activated and can achieve the same result.

The other method is professional at-home tooth whitening.  This is where specially made custom fit whitening trays are loaded with a gel and the trays are worn in the mouth for 1 hour.  Some systems require you to wear them over night.  This depends on the type of gel used and the concentration of it.  Your dentist will be able to advise.

Call us to see how we can help.  We provide this service to patients in Fleet as well as the surrounding areas in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire.

Cosmetic dentistry for confident smiles near Farnborough

November 13th, 2012

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just for the movie stars.  If you have gaps between your teeth, composite bonding is a type of cosmetic dentistry that can make a huge impact on your smile.

A patient came to Time Dental near Farnborough looking for options to close the spaces between her upper front teeth.  She had orthodontic braces in the past and did not wear her retainers and the teeth had subsequently moved.  She wanted something quickly done.

We discussed the options which were adult orthodontic braces, composite bonding and porcelain veneers.  She did not want the adult orthodontic braces even though they would have worked for her.  The gaps could have been closed in the space of 6 months.  Porcelain veneers were also an option however she did not want her teeth to be prepared although the preparation would have been minimal.  However she liked the idea of composite bonding where composite filling is shaped and bonded to the teeth to improve the smile.

She was over the moon with her end result and all done in one afternoon!  Call us to see how we can help you to improve your smile.

Dental Implants by cosmetic dentist near Fleet

November 1st, 2012

Dental Implants are now part of comprehensive dental care.  Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is now becoming common place.

The fixed options for replacing missing teeth are either dental bridges or dental implants.  The advantages of dental implants are that adjacent teeth to the gap do not need to be ground down which is required for a bridge and the dental implants also help to preserve the bone in place.

A patient came to Time Dental near Fleet having broken his front tooth in an accident.  We discussed the options above and he opted for a dental implant.  The dental implant is a titanium root that replaces the root of the missing tooth.  Once it is integrated a tooth is attached to the implant.  Dental implants have a success rate of 98% and can make a huge difference to your dental health as well as cosmetically.

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.

Prevent gum disease and bad breath at dentist near Alton

September 20th, 2012

Bad breath can be a severe problem for many people.  It can affect your confidence in social circumstances; meeting people for business and even ruin your chances for finding the right partner.  If you’re unsure you have bad breath, try this little test.  Take some floss and pass it between your back molar teeth; and now smell it.  If it smells bad the chances are your breath will also pick up that smell.

Bad breath or halitosis can be caused by a number of things but did you know that it could also be a sign of gum disease?  Plaque bacteria that is allowed to build up in the mouth becomes hard which is called tartar or calculus. The bacteria release a number of chemicals that destroy the boney support of your teeth.  The gums can become inf lammed and bleed, the teeth can become loose and a bad taste or smell can often be detected.  Gum disease can also occur and not show any signs or symptoms!  That’s why its so important to regularly have your gums screened for gum (periodontal) disease when you visit the dentist and hygienist.

At Time Dental near Alton the hygienist can give you the skills and techniques for ensuring healthy teeth and gums and banish the bad breath.

Confident smile with straight teeth for a wedding at a dentist near Fleet

August 30th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental near Fleet to see how we could help improve her smile.  She had overlapping upper front teeth which had bothered her for many years.  She had researched adult braces and was interested in the invisible braces that we offered at Time Dental.

2 steps to a natural smile at cosmetic dentist near Farnborough

July 4th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental having had 2 incisor teeth missing from her upper teeth.  She was only 16 years old and had never had her lateral incisors come through which made her feel very self conscious.  The spaces had closed but she was unhappy with the colour of her teeth and the fact that she looked “fangy” with her 2 incisors missing.

We discussed her options and the steps involved to help her feel more confident.  The simplest way to help her would be a 2 step process. The first step would be to whiten her teeth, and the second step would be to carry out composite bonding on her canines to make them look more like incisors.

Step 1 involved taking impressions of her teeth for her custom fit tooth whitening trays.  There are two main ways for teeth whitening; in-office or professional at-home tooth whitening.  The end result for both tooth whitening systems is the same, the main difference is the speed.  Professional at-home tooth whitening is much more gentle on the teeth, so she wanted to go for this option.  The teeth whitening gel is placed into the custom fit whitening trays and inserted in the mouth and kept in place for 40 minutes.  This process is then repeated once a day for 10-14 days.

Once the fresher appearance of the teeth have been achieved, step 2 involves composite bonding.  This is where composite is added to the canine teeth and bonded into place and shaped to look like incisor teeth.  Composite bonding is an excellent way of improving your smile.  With the current white composite materials a natural appearance can be achieved by a skilled cosmetic dentist.

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

How a cosmetic dentist helped a patient near Alton

June 13th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental unhappy with the colour of their teeth.  She drank lots of tea and coffee and had noticed that her teeth were now discoloured and stained and she wanted to freshen up her smile with professional tooth whitening.

On assessing her mouth her gums had receeded significantly and she had cavities near the gum line of the teeth.  She used a manual tooth brush for her daily home care and had been brushing far too aggressively which resulted in abrasion cavities.  This had exposed the softer dentine part of the tooth which had now started to decay.

After showing her the photos of her mouth we need to get her mouth into a healthy condition first before continuing with her tooth whiteing.  We completed the mutiple fillings using composite bonding with a slighter lighter shade of composite.  This was to account for tooth whitening that she was planning to do.

Once completing the fillings we were now ready to professionally whiten her teeth.  There are two main types.  In-office tooth whitening and professional at-home tooth whitening.  The end result of both systems is the same, the in-office system is simply faster.  The professional tooth whitening system is a gentler way of tooth whitening.  This is where tooth whitening gel is placed into custom fit special trays which are then placed in the mouth for 40 minutes.  This process is then repeated daily for 10 -14 days.

Time Dental provides this service for patients in the Alton, Farnborough, and Fleet area as well as other areas of Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire.
