Celebrate Spring May Day With A Stunning New Smile Near Kew

May 1st, 2013

There is a lot to smile about already on May Day, a nice day off to relax and enjoy the spring weather. Perhaps a picnic, laughing and smiling with family and friends. But what if the thought of smiling and laughing fills you with dread because you are unhappy with your teeth’s appearance? Well, at sparkle Dental Boutique we have just the treatment to transform your teeth into beautiful gleaming smiles.

Porcelain Veneers

Often drawing comparisons with false nails (but for the mouth), porcelain veneers are wafer thin shells of tooth coloured material which both protect and decorate unsightly or damaged teeth.

Why Porcelain?

Veneers can either be made from porcelain or composite bonding material. Porcelain is a more natural looking, stain resistant and durable material. In fact, the main advantage of composite bonding material is that it is cheaper. Porcelain veneers, however, can last for much longer than their composite counterparts, meaning that, in the long run, porcelain veneers can end up being cheaper. It is because of these advantages that we produce porcelain veneers.

What are Porcelain Veneers best suited for?

Stained, damaged or gap ridden teeth can all be aided by porcelain veneers. Although not ideal, veneers can also aid with slightly crooked teeth. In a process nicknamed ‘instant orthodontics’, veneers can be applied to cover over a crooked smile and give the appearance of uniform teeth.

The process

To accommodate the veneers, a tiny part of your teeth’s front surface will be trimmed. A dental imprint will then be produced and sent to a lab where your veneers will be produced. Whilst waiting for your proper veneers, temporary ones will likely be fitted. Once the real deal arrives, they will be fitted and you can start grinning! Why not contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing for more information on our veneer treatment options.

Win The Love Of Your Dreams With A Smile Makeover Near Ealing

February 14th, 2013

One of the first things that a person notices about another person is their smile. With Valentine’s Day upon us, make sure to impress your loved one by getting a smile makeover. And if you don’t have someone to impress, getting a smile makeover will greatly improve your odds of finding your special one.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is the process of improving a person’s smile by using cosmetic dentistry procedures. The duration and complexity of the process depends on the requirement of the patient and it includes procedures like teeth whitening, white fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges or dental caps.

What can a smile makeover do for you?

Here is a list of problems that smile makeover can help overcome:

  • Tooth colour –the requirement for white teeth is one of the most common reasons why people visit the dentist. Whether you have discoloured teeth as a result of ageing, smoking or other unhealthy habits, your problem can be fixed in a timely manner.
  • Teeth alignment – by using braces you can align and strengthen your teeth
  • Spacing and missing teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Unshapely face – by using cosmetic dentistry procedures you can now have fuller lips or cheeks.

Consultation

In order to get a smile makeover, you will need to make an appointment with your dentist. There you can talk about what you wish to accomplish and they will explain to you the procedures that will help you.

By using advanced computer imaging, your dentist will be able to show you how your teeth will look like after the procedure. That means you will be able to order the perfect set of teeth, just the way you want them.

Gone are the days when cosmetic dentistry procedures were reserved only for the rich and famous. So what are you waiting for? Go get your smile makeover today at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing!

Porcelain Veneers Provide A Real Smile Makeover For The New Year For Patients Near Hounslow

January 10th, 2013

It’s a cliché to say New Year, new you, but this really could be the case if you choose to have porcelain veneers. If you’ve longed for a gorgeous smile all year and you get a touch of the green- eyed monster when you see glossy photos of celebrities showing off their flawless, dazzling smiles, now is the perfect time to treat yourself to an A-list smile.

About porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are a very popular treatment; they are commonly associated with celebrities and have been showcased on numerous television shows, such as Extreme Makeover and 10 Years Younger.

Porcelain veneers are applied over the top of the natural teeth to produce an amazing, flawless smile. The veneers are designed to look exactly like natural teeth and we encourage our clients to get involved in the smile design process, so that we can make sure that the end result is perfect.

Porcelain veneers are designed to create beautiful smiles; they can be used to address many common cosmetic flaws, including chipped and worn teeth, uneven teeth, spaces between the teeth, a gummy smile and stained or discoloured teeth, and they can literally transform your smile.

The procedure

Before porcelain veneers can be applied onto the teeth, the teeth must first be prepared; this involves removing a very tiny layer of the surface enamel to make space for the new veneers. We are careful to conserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. Once the teeth have been prepared, impressions of the teeth are created and used as templates for the new veneers. Once the veneers have been custom-made, we can fit them; the veneers are fixed to the teeth using dental adhesive once you are happy with the look of your new smile.

With New Year just around the corner, why not give yourself something to smile about and get a brand new, beautiful smile? Contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Hounslow for more information.

Sparkle Like Christmas Lights With Veneer Treatment For Patients Near Acton

December 20th, 2012

Christmas truly feels like it is on the way now that the lights are on in Oxford Street, but for anyone wondering how to make their smile twinkle in those Christmas party pictures, porcelain veneers could be the answer.

Porcelain veneer treatment

These veneers are thin casings of porcelain which are fixed to the front of your tooth. They cover up any stains or marks but still allow light through, meaning that they have a more natural look. They both protect damaged surfaces and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Like cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers are used for teeth which are chipped, stained, uneven or damaged in some way. However, what sets them apart is their resilience and healthy look, a result of the translucent material. They are more durable and less liable to become stained than veneers made of composite. Teeth that have become worn can also be strengthened by porcelain veneers.

Veneer fitting

The procedure for having porcelain veneers fitted is relatively simple. The first appointment at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Acton consists of the teeth being meticulously shaped and a mould being taken of the ones that are to have veneers. While the final veneers are being constructed, you have the opportunity to sample how they will look with temporary veneers. If, while wearing the temporary veneers, you realise that adjustments need to be made to the size or shape, these can then be made to the final veneers.

The handmade final porcelain veneers are then fitted at the second appointment, which takes place approximately one week later. If looked after, the quality of the material means that these can last for up to 15 years, with a 3 year guarantee.

Patients Near Brentford Can Get A Classic, White Teeth In Time For Last Night Of The Proms

October 11th, 2012

No belle of the ball is complete without a glistening, pearly-white smile. Many factors can contribute to unsightly teeth, leaving them stained or discoloured, but the solution is simple, affordable and very effective. Porcelain veneers are very strong and durable thin shells that are placed over the natural teeth to give the illusion of a healthier, brighter smile.

Why choose porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are useful for covering up a number of dental issues. The simple process of masking an unpleasant tooth with a veneer eliminates the need for more lengthy and costly procedures and treatments. Veneers are ideal for covering up:

  • A chipped tooth
  • Gaps in the teeth
  • Teeth broken by trauma
  • Discoloured or rotted teeth
  • Stained teeth

How does it work?

The process is very simple and often only requires two visits to the dentist. The first visit consists of a check-up, where your dentist or orthodontist can assess the damage and decide which teeth need veneers. During this same visit, a mould is taken of the teeth for the veneers to be made at a laboratory. In the meantime, temporary veneers are offered as a short-term solution until the proper veneers are ready. This usually takes around seven days.

During the second visit, the temporary veneers are removed and the custom made porcelain veneers are ready to be fitted. Some teeth may need to be altered before veneers are fitted, but the result is a natural, beautiful smile that – with good oral health – can last for up to fifteen years!

It really is that simple and that quick! So if you want to look your best at the proms, consult Sparkle Dental Boutique near Brentford and your perfect smile may only be a week away!

Party at the Nottingham Carnival with a Beautiful New Smile for Patients Near Hanwell

August 2nd, 2012

Summer is upon us, and as the August bank holiday soon rolls around, it means that it’s once again time for Europe’s largest street festival – the Notting Hill Carnival. One of the most exciting annual events in any UK city, the Carnival is always a riot of colours, smells and sights – so it would be a shame to feel self-conscious about your own appearance at the festival. However, many smile treatments are available at Sparkle Dental Boutique to help your teeth shine as brightly as anything else in the Carnival! One treatment is porcelain veneers, designed to help your teeth look their best.

What are veneers and how can they help?

Veneers are available at the Sparkle Dental Boutique near Hanwell. They are often said to be an equivalent for false fingernails for your teeth. They are stuck over the teeth to help them look better, and are usually made of porcelain as this is a very strong, durable material which can easily made to look the right shade. Veneers can help with several cosmetic problems with teeth, stained teeth can be covered by veneers, to help them appear whiter, and small gaps between teeth can appear closed, thanks to the use of veneers. Even some cases of damaged or crooked teeth can be helped with veneers, by covering the affected areas with veneers designed to be the appropriate shade. With good oral hygiene, porcelain veneers can last up to ten years.

How are veneers fitted?

At the first appointment, your teeth are very carefully shaped to help the veneers fit. A mould of your teeth will be taken with special dental ‘putty’. While your veneers are being made from the mould, you’ll be given temporary veneers so you can see how they feel and look. At the second appointment, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned, and the veneers sealed in place to help your smile look brand new!

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Patients in Brentwood Looking to Brighten and Straighten Their Smiles?

May 28th, 2012

A great deal of the smiles in magazine photos and on your TV and film screens are in fact porcelain veneers. These micro thin layers of porcelain are gently applied to cover the teeth, hiding all traces of staining or tooth wear. Veneers are hand-made to fit exactly to your specific teeth and the porcelain is beautifully white whilst retaining transparency, so that there is a natural depth to the look of your teeth. There is a reason so many famous people get porcelain veneers, mainly because they are so discreet and give amazing results to transform your whole appearance.

So what can Porcelain veneers be used for?

There are many reasons patients from Brentwood choose to have veneers applied. If you happen to have a chipped tooth or teeth then a veneer or set of veneers can be applied in the same colour as the rest of your teeth, so that your whole mouth looks natural and more balanced.

If you have any gaps in your teeth veneers can fill out the space that the gap creates, leaving a gap free smile.

Broken teeth can also benefit from having porcelain veneers hiding any imperfections and restoring your teeth to their former glory. In the same way veneers can be used for crooked teeth, with veneers used to treat certain crooked areas, creating a perfect looking tooth, completely hiding crooked or broken areas of a smile.

What are the advantages of porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are durable, strong and long lasting, creating an excellent youthful, healthy appearance. The materials used are tested all over the world in many laboratories, guaranteeing only the best materials around, which should last anything between ten to fifteen years.

During the first appointment the teeth are shaped and a mould is taken of your teeth and temporary hand crafted veneers are fitted. This gives you the opportunity to trial run the veneers so that you get used to the look and also any problems can be addressed and changed before the permanent veneers are fitted. A week later you will have your permanent porcelain veneers fitted and you smile will be instantly transformed.

Two porcelain veneers were placed on the upper two front teeth. Within two appointments over two weeks, the patient was relieved to see something that had bothered her all her life could be changed so quickly.

Sharan

 

 

 

 

Crooked teeth on the upper jaw are much harder to disguise than crooked teeth on the lower jaw.

Spurred on by her brother’s impending wedding she took the plunge and within one visit, this patient’s smile was transformed with temporary veneers. The porcelain veneers will be fitted in two weeks time. The patients reaction? She said the results are: “Unbelievable.”
