A dentist in Palm Beach once referred me to a dentist who could help me straighten my teeth. Unfortunately Invisalign in Birmingham wasn’t my idea of a day trip. However, my teeth came out great in the end and I commend the dentistry profession. It’s really difficult to get what you want from anyone, let alone from a dentist who barely knows your name. There are many other things I’d liked to have been doing at the time, but when it comes to your teeth, it’s one of the first things people see. Most of the time, you feel self-conscious when walking into a dentist’s office, but the staff was great when I went to get my Invisalign and I’m glad I was referred there. The one thing when going to a dentist is to make sure that you feel comfortable; if you’re not comfortable then you should speak up.

A new smile can make a new you, a smile makeover may be just the latest trend, but its also a fashion statement and a personal statement saying you take pride in your appearance. The good news is that the cost of a movie star smile and perfect looking teeth is no longer prohibitive. A favourite of many people is the veneer, this won`t just give you an instant white smile, it can often also cover up defects on our tooth line. Cracked, chipped, discoloured and misaligned teeth can become a thing of the past with a veneer transplant. Your dentist will need to gather some information first, they will take digital photos and make a mould of your present tooth, then all that information is sent to an orthodontist to make the veneers, they are made individually. When they are ready to be fitted the dentist needs to prepare your teeth, first they need to shave the enamel off your tooth, after numbing it of course. The amount they take off is equal to the thickness of the veneer in question, and this varies from veneer to veneer. The indent left is then filled with the new veneer, the result is instant and will last anywhere from 3-15 years in total. The time span depends on the thickness and how well you look after them. They need no special care, just normal brushing, flossing and rinsing all followed up with six monthly check ups to remove any tartar deposits. They can be replaced at any time from beginning to end, and the process is very easy. If that’s too much for you and all you want is whiter teeth, then a whitening treatment is just what you need. This is done in a salon or your home, and a trained technician will do the work. You will have a soft comfortable rubber gum shield fitted into your mouth, this will keep your teeth on show and protect the rest of your mouth. A gel is brushed on the teeth and an intense, warm and bright blue light is shone onto the teeth, this reacts with the gel and makes your teeth whiter by bleaching them in much the name way the sun will bleach your hair. The session takes an hour, but is done in three stages, each lasting fifteen minutes. When you`re finished the technician will explain to you about the best way to keep them pearly white, and a diet sheet will help you to keep them from discolouring again.
