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 colour, 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

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:

Our aim is to offer personalized dental care to each patient and provide each of them with High Quality Dental Care and Outstanding Value For Money.
We are a small family owned and run practice based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. You are welcome to have a visual tour.
We have one full time Hygienist (Nur), a part time Hygienist/Dental Therapist (Tina Ocal) and one full time Dentist (David)
Our nurses/receptionists are Sid and Carrie
, we also have 3 part time nurses who are training to be Dental Nurses...
Our Hygienist and Dentist have both been working at the practice for over 14 years. Our policy is to provide continuous care. Patients appreciate seeing the same dentist and hygienist.
We have accepted an NHS contract to treat children only. We are only be able to treat children under 16 years old on the NHS. We will accept all children irrespective of whether we see anybody else in their family. All we ask if that the children and their parents are motivated, capable and committed to life-long high standards of dental health. We will continue to accept all other patients on a private basis.
Patients usually pay for their treatment as they go along. However we now have a scheme for patients who wish to pay monthly. The cost is £8 a month.

We value continuous professional development and recently one of our nurses passed the NVQ level 3 in Dental Nursing and received a merit award (one of only 42). Also recently two of our nurses, who are already qualified Dental Nurses, were awarded the Dental Radiography certificate from Bristol University, one of them qualified as a dental Radiographer after getting the best mark in their written exam for the Dental Radiography Certificate.
In addition we were very proud when two of our team have won major dental education prizes. One of our nurses was awarded the highest prize for achievement in their Dental Nurse Training by Buckinghamshire Health Authority. This competition was open to all Dental Nurses. This was the first time in 8 years that this prestige prize has been awarded. In addition David was awarded the top prize by The British Dental Association (Milton Keynes) at the end of a recent Post Graduate Education program. Continuous Professional Development is compulsory for all dentists and the prize was hotly contested over 30 local dentists who took part.
We are now a Recognised Dental Practice for Dental Nurse Training, and at the moment have 3 nurses who are with us for part-time work experience every week. Our practice offers the chance to use the latest equipment and work with the most modern materials, and in addition we also have a very close working relationship with the local Dental Specialists. In the last 5 years or so we have had 3 trainee Dental Nurses qualify after doing their work experience with us.
We are delighted to welcome a new member of our team. Tina is going to be working with us as an Hygienist. She will be working on Saturday to begin with and will be in addition to Nur, our existing Hygienist.
Tina is an experienced hygienist. She commented after her first day how well trained and friendly our team was. She said she was particularly impressed with our emphasis on prevention and the high quality of knowledge of our Nursing staff.
Tina also remarked that our prices for tooth brushes etc were in her experience unbeatable. She also said complimented us on our exceptionally high standard of cross infection control. She said normally when an hygienist starts in a new job she has to make a few changes, however she found we already had all the materials she needed to do 1st class hygiene work.
We now have 3 qualified Dental Nurses. We believe that this reflects the high importance we attach to training and professional development.
