Quick Braces For Patients Near Acton

June 17th, 2013

No one wants to wear braces for a long period of time and thankfully there are braces now available that cut down on treatment times, while leaving you with a beautiful smile.

The Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner can achieve results in a matter of weeks for a range of orthodontic conditions. The Inman Aligner works, by using opposing forces to gently squeeze the teeth into place. These forces are created by a clear bar that runs along the front of the teeth and a coiled spring system that sits behind the teeth. The Inman Aligner is also completely removable, meaning more flexibility and greater ease with dental hygiene and after your treatment is completed, can be used as an overnight retainer, to keep your new smile in place.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are not only fast acting they’re also almost completely invisible. Sitting along the back of your teeth, lingual braces use the traditional wire and bracket system, but show no trace of their work. Brackets and wires have always been the most successful means of straightening teeth and can be used to correct a range of orthodontic problems including difficult conditions. Wires and brackets are also the quickest means of straightening teeth, but with lingual braces you can have both the effective and fast treatment without the need for visible attachments.

If you are looking for fast acting braces in time for a wedding or a social event give us a call or pop into the practice for a consultation. We have a great range of braces at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Acton, with one suited to every need.

  • Ceramic Braces-although fitted to the front of the teeth, this type of wire and bracket system are composed of tooth coloured materials and so blend in with your smile. A little more noticeable than the other discreet braces, but they offer fast straightening time and can be used to treat a wider variety of orthodontic problems.

Implants For Patients With Multiple Teeth Near Hounslow

June 10th, 2013

Losing a tooth can be a horrible experience, but loosing several teeth can be severely damaging to a person’s self-esteem and well-being. However, at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Brentford we have the dental technology and skills to restore your damaged smile, whether you’ve lost just one tooth or many.

How do I replace my missing teeth?

For many years dentures or dental plates were the only means to replace several teeth, however, these were often limited in both their appearance and their functionality. Dental implants on the other hand have caused a revolution within the field of restorative dentistry and people are able to regain the smile they once had, which is both beautiful and secure.

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants act in place of the missing tooth root and are placed into the jawbone where they then fuse to form a solid foundation for your new smile. Once the dental implant is firmly in place we can then add on your new tooth or teeth, which one dental implant able to support several missing teeth. Your new teeth will look perfectly natural within your mouth and you will never need to use dental fixative or paste to keep it in place. This means no embarrassment caused by fallen dentures and a secure set of teeth with which to eat your food with.

What are the benefits of implants over dentures?

Dentures without the support of dental implants rub and wear away the jawbone, causing further dental issues. Dentures, therefore, require continual adjustment or replacement and can cause a great deal of discomfort and embarrassment to their wearer. Dental implants, however, not only replace the tooth root to form a solid base, but also improve the strength and density of the jawbone around them. They also remove all embarrassment from the wearing of dental replacements and no one will be able to tell that you are wearing implants at all.

Dental Hygiene For Braces For Patients Near Ealing

June 6th, 2013

The 7th of June is Donut Day-not the best teeth for your teeth and gums, especially if you are wearing braces. Many people throughout the UK wear braces, both fixed and removable, in order to straighten and improve the appearance of their smile. However, many should take note that while wearing their braces it is ideal that they maintain a very high standard of dental hygiene, to prevent the development of decay and damage that can occur.

Why does dental decay occur when people are wearing braces?

The metal or plastic brackets of fixed braces are an ideal place of food debris and bacteria to make a new home. Food that is left stuck to a brace is likely to attract bacteria, which then form plaque that eats away at the tooth enamel. This can cause not only aesthetic problems, but also physical problems, with the potential for cavities and holes to form in once healthy teeth. The same problem can affect people who wear removable braces if they also forget to clean their braces after eating a meal.

What can I do to keep my teeth and braces clean?

There are many ways to keep your teeth and braces clean, but one of the most important is to always clean them after eating a meal. Food is more likely to stick to your teeth after a meal if you are wearing braces, so you need to take those extra steps when you have finished eating to remove excess food, to prevent it from settling on your teeth all day.

The best tools to use when cleaning your brace and teeth include:

  • Interdental brushes -small brushes that can fit between your teeth and the brackets of your brace
  • Special brace-wash-this is ideal for those wearing removable braces and you can just pop your braces in a glass with the brace-wash and let it get to work
  • Regular mouthwash-mouthwash can reach into the nooks and crannies of your mouth and even in-between teeth and brace brackets.

For more information on looking after your teeth whilst wearing fixed braces please contact the team a Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.

Dental Hygiene And Gum Disease Treatment For Patients Near Hanwell

June 3rd, 2013

This June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month, but did you know that your 5-a-day not only helps to protect your body, but also your teeth and gums? Crunchy apples strengthen gums and provide them with beneficial vitamin C, while vegetables like celery and kale are brimming with natural calcium; ideal for bright, white teeth.

Dental hygiene at Sparkle Dental

Another easy and beneficial way to ensure the health of your teeth and gums is to visit your Sparkle Dental hygienist for a cleaning session, to not only remove stains, but also trapped food debris, that is impossible to reach with a toothbrush.

Why is a Dental Hygienist clean so much better for my teeth?

Try as you may your toothbrush, mouthwash and even floss can only clean a certain percentage of your mouth. A cleaning session with a dental hygienist however, can reach and clean every inch of your mouth and can remove even some of the most stubborn stains, for teeth and gums that are not only healthy but beautiful.

What is the importance of a Hygienist cleaning session?

The current set of adult teeth you have is the only one you are going to get, but it is tremendously susceptible to decay and damaged. Plaque acid and bacteria are constantly attacking your teeth and a general dental routine can only provide a small amount of defence against it. However, regular dental cleaning can provide a vital boost to the cleanliness and health of your teeth and gums, halting the decaying process before it can take hold. The practice also offers periodontal cleaning, for patients with hard to remove tartar, easily bleeding gums and reoccurring bad breath.  Taking the steps now can protect your smile from erosion and even tooth loss, which can occur if periodontal disease persists and is left untreated.

If you live near Hanwell, or the surrounding area and are interested in maintaining the health of your teeth and gums, please feel free to give us a call or pop in to arrange an appointment. You will be amazed at how glossy and smooth your newly cleaned teeth feel and how much whiter they appear.

Hidden Lingual Braces For Patients Near Brentford

May 30th, 2013

Many people want to have orthodontic treatment to improve the aesthetic of their smile, but often, they are put-off by the idea of wearing bulky, ugly braces. If this sounds like you, we may have the perfect solution!

What are lingual braces?

Lingual braces are fixed braces, which are attached to the back of the teeth (this is known as the lingual side of the teeth); this means that they are an extremely discreet treatment option, which makes them an ideal choice for patients of all ages who want to enjoy the best aesthetics both during and after treatment.

At Sparkle Dental Boutique, we offer Incognito and STb lingual braces, two of the world’s leading lingual brace systems.

About Incognito braces

Incognito braces are small and delicate and they use the latest technology to prevent friction and to move the teeth with minimum discomfort. Incognito braces are ideal for patients who have crooked, twisted or misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, spaces between their teeth and patients with problems related to their bite. These braces are suitable for patients of all ages and are generally available to all those patients who are suitable candidates for fixed brace treatment; Incognito is also a suitable option for patients who have nickel allergies.

About STb lingual braces

STb Social 6 lingual braces are an ideal option for patients with minor orthodontic problems, such as mild crowding, small gaps between the front teeth and crooked front teeth. STb Social 6 lingual braces are designed to focus on problems affecting the ‘social 6’, the front teeth that are visible when you smile.

STb Social 6 is a great treatment for patients who want to improve the aesthetic of the smile without worrying about what kind of impact wearing braces will have on their appearance or their confidence; like Incognito braces, Social 6 braces are applied to the back of the teeth, making them invisible to other people when you smile.

We have many years of experience in treating patients using lingual braces and we have already created hundreds of beautiful, healthy smiles. Contact us today to find out more about lingual braces at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Brentford.

Braces For Youngsters At Sparkle Dental Boutique Near Acton

May 27th, 2013

If your child has been told that they are not eligible for NHS orthodontic treatment or you are looking for a more discreet solution for them, we can help! At Sparkle Dental Boutique, we offer the latest orthodontic treatments on the market, including the amazing Invisalign Teen system.

What is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is an invisible brace system, which is ideal for younger patients who are concerned about their image, as well as their smile. Invisalign Teen provides young patients with a discreet solution, which is easy to use and hassle-free.

Invisalign Teen is an aligner system; unlike traditional fixed brace treatments, patients wear a series of custom-made, removable aligners, which gradually guide the teeth into position. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then replaced with the next aligner in the series; each aligner is slightly different to allow for tooth movement. Invisalign Teen is exactly the same as the traditional Invisalign system but it has handy features, which are specially designed for teenage patients, including colour indicators to remind patients when to change their aligners and spare aligners.

What are the advantages of Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is an innovative treatment system, which takes the preferences and needs of teenagers into account. The aligners are comfortable, removable and above all, see-through, which means that nobody else will even notice them. This is an idea treatment for patients who are conscious of their image and eager to get the smile they want without worrying about what other people think or being awry of flashing a mouth full of braces. The Invisalign Teen system has been developed to make treatment simple and stress-free for young patients and it produces amazing results.

The only set-back is that the success of treatment depends on the commitment of the patient; it is essential to wear the aligners for at least 21 hours per day and to remove them only to drink, eat and brush your teeth. Contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Kew for more information on children’s braces treatment.

Dental Implants For A Single Missing Tooth For Patients Near Chiswick

May 23rd, 2013

If you lose a tooth, there are various options available to you; we always recommend replacing missing teeth because gaps in your smile can contribute to oral health problems, as well as affecting the way your smile looks.

 Why is it beneficial to replace missing teeth?

It is important to replace missing teeth for a number of reasons; firstly, gaps in your teeth affect the aesthetic of your smile, which can also have an impact on your confidence and self-esteem. It is also common for missing teeth to affect speech and your ability to chew food properly and missing teeth can also cause the remaining teeth to start to move out of position, which can make brushing difficult, which increases the risk of decay and gum disease. Replacing missing teeth enables you to enjoy a full range of functions, as well as a healthy looking, attractive smile.

 Single dental implants

If you lose a single tooth, either through injury, trauma or decay, dental implants are a great option. Dental implants are small titanium screw-like dental devices, which are used to replace the root of the missing tooth; the implant is placed in a socket in the jaw bone and then left to integrate into the bone. It is possible to attach the implant to a dental bridge, denture or crown in order to replace any number of missing teeth; in the case of a single missing tooth, the implant is attached to a new dental crown.

Once the crown has been attached, the tooth will look exactly like a natural tooth; the crown will be matched to the colour of the natural teeth and it will also function in the same way as your other teeth.

Single implants are a popular choice for younger patients who have lost a tooth as a result of a    sports injury or accident; they are the best option in this case because they are designed to last for many years and they provide the best aesthetics. Contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Chiswick for more information.

Dental Hygiene For Dental Implants For Patients Near Ealing

May 20th, 2013

Dental implants are a very popular tooth replacement treatment; they restore full function to the mouth, as well as giving you a healthier, more attractive looking smile. Dental implants are designed to last for several years, but they do require a little looking after. Our friendly Sparkle Dental dentists will explain how to look after your dental implants to ensure that you get the best out of them and they last for as long as possible.

Looking after dental implants

Dental implants are small titanium screws, which are inserted into holes in the jaw bone to replace the root section of a missing tooth. Implants are a popular treatment because they last for a very long time and they offer unrivalled levels of functionality; they also help to reduce bone loss.

Implants are designed to integrate into the jaw bone and once this process (known as osseointegration) is complete, a new restoration can be attached.

Once the implants are in place, it is important to look after them, as you would look after your natural teeth. Implants are susceptible to plaque build-up and this can affect your overall oral health, as well as the success of treatment. It is important to take good care of your implants; we can offer advice about specialist cleaning and hygiene products, which are easier to use than traditional brushes and we also recommend inter-dental brushes, which remove plaque from the cracks between the teeth.

The importance of dental check-ups

In addition to good oral hygiene, dental visits are also very important and we encourage all our patients to attend routine check-ups every 6 months. If you have any problems with your implants or you experience symptoms such as tooth pain or bleeding gums, please arrange an appointment as early as possible, rather than waiting for your next scheduled check-up.

If you have any questions about dental hygiene or caring for your implants, our dentists and dental hygienists will be happy to help at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.
