A Better Healthier Smile
We believe that a Better smile is more than simply Straight White Teeth.
We believe that you have to get the basics right first. So often we see new patients who have paid a lot of money for crowns, which have bleeding around the gum margins, maybe be wobbly, and also have a nasty taste in their mouth and suffer from bad breath.
Our aim is to provide a Better as well as a Healthy Smile. This is why we always start by getting the gums into proper order. This may be simple but in many cases it requires Gum Treatment with the Hygienists including Fresh Breath Therapy.
We are never too proud to let patients know if we feel the solution to their problem requires a referral to a Specialist.
We provide a range of treatments including
Dental Bleaching is available but is not suitable for everyone. We offer a free consultation which quickly identify patients for whom bleaching is not appropriate and who would benefit from other Dental options.
Dental Veneers have improved many smiles and been made more popular as a result of "Make-Over Programs"
We have lots of before and after photographs to illustrate what is available and what are the likely results.

We are not in the business of the hard sell and if we are unable to help a patient ourselves we do not regard this as a failure or deficiency on our part because we are happy to refer to specialists and colleagues who we know have the expertise and knowledge to provide the best treatment. results

Here are some examples of what can be done to improve smiles. We show these not to show off our work but as part of our policy to educate visitors to our website what modern dentists can do. These pictures are from patients and dentists all around the world and the sort of results that a dentist near to you may be able to do for you too!
PORCELAIN VENEERS A porcelain veneer (dental veneer, dental porcelain laminate, tooth veneer) is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth. Veneers can be used to lighten discoloured teeth, straighten squint teeth and to close spaces between front teeth. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to improve the cosmetic appearance of teeth that are discoloured, worn, chipped, or misaligned. The ceramic material is bonded to the front of teeth to change the tooth's color, size, and/or shape. What is the difference between porcelain veneers & dental crowns? Dental crowns typically encase an entire tooth whereas porcelain veneers typically only cover the front of a tooth. Main advantages of porcelain veneers: 1. Porcelain veneers look just like real teeth Porcelain veneers are translucent, so when they are bonded onto a tooth's surface, they mimic the light-handling characteristics of enamel. 2. Porcelain veneers resist staining Porcelain veneers are not susceptible to staining and discolouring like other forms of dental bonding. This means that the surface of a porcelain veneer will not pick up permanent stains. Disadvantages of porcelain veneers: - may break off Who are porcelain veneers not suitable for? Porcelain veneers may not be suitable if you: - have unhealthy teeth - have weak teeth - do not have enough tooth enamel - grind your teeth

TEETH
WHITENING
What we do at MK Dental Care At MK Dental Care we provide most of our Tooth Whitening using a Tray System which the patient wears at home. The treatment takes 2/4 weeks to complete. We combine this with a "Rapid Boost" system in the surgery. We have tried several systems and we have found that the Tray System used at home offers the best long term result and is certainly better value than the Rapid systems using Special Lights/Lasers. What else is available Many teeth whitening systems are available, including whitening toothpastes, over-the counter gels, strips and trays, and whitening agents obtained from a dentist. Teeth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and gums. Individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best. But this cosmetic procedure is not recommended for everyone. Whitening Toothpastes All toothpastes help remove surface stains because they have mild abrasives. Some whitening toothpastes contain gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Whitening toothpastes can help remove surface stains only and do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching substance) that helps remove stains on the tooth surface as well as stains deep in the tooth. Whitening toothpastes can lighten your tooth's colour by about one shade. In contrast, light-activated whitening conducted in your dentist's office (see below) can make your teeth three to eight shades lighter. Tray-Based Tooth Whitening Products Tray based tooth whitening systems, purchased either over-the-counter or from your dentist, involve filling a mouth guard-like tray with a gel whitening solution – which contains a peroxide-bleaching agent – and wearing the tray for a period of time, generally from a couple hours a day to every day during the night for up to 4 weeks and even longer (depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening). How Long Do the Whitening Effects Last? Whitening is not permanent. People who expose their teeth to foods and beverages that cause staining may see the whiteness start to fade in as little as 1 month. Those who avoid foods and beverages that stain may be able to wait one year or longer before another whitening treatment or touch-up is needed. The degree of whiteness will vary from individual to individual depending on the condition of the teeth, nature of the stain, the type of bleaching system used and for how long. Risks Associated With Teeth Whitening The two side effects that occur most often are a temporary increase in tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the soft tissues of the mouth, particularly the gums. Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of the bleaching treatment. Tissue irritation most commonly results from an ill-fitting mouthpiece tray rather than the tooth-bleaching agent. Both of these conditions usually are temporary and disappear within 1 to 3 days of stopping or completing treatment. If you do experience sensitivity, you can reduce or eliminate it by:

What we offer Cosmetic Dental Treatment is now very popular. Many patients will have seen programs on the TV and have realised that they can have treatment which will improve their smile and increase their self confidence. Unlike many practice which offer £20,000+ make-over's we offer affordable solutions. For example veneers start from £250 each, with the vast majority costing £300. The cost depends on the complexity of the case. When you come to the practice we will show you pictures of ordinary patients whom we have treated as you can see the before and after pictures. We see some patients who need very specialist treatments and we are very happy to refer them to the specialists of their choice. |
