Problem- How can I whiten my yellow teeth?
Our teeth will get darker with age. For older people, their teeth will naturally turn a brownish yellow—not necessarily from smoking, coffee, or wine.
Solution- Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening will lightens teeth that have been stained or discolored by age, food, drink, and smoking. This is a non-invasive procedure, which leaves you with a natural yet bright smile.
Problem- I want to get rid of my unattractive old black fillings
Solution- Composite Fillings
Old black fillings can be replace with tooth-coloured fillings that blend in with the surrounding tooth structure for a natural appearance. White fillings chemically bond to your tooth structure, giving further support to your tooth.
Problem- Are you embarrassed by your broken or chipped teeth?
Solution- Veneers
Veneers are thin custom-made, tooth-colored shells that are bonded onto your teeth. Veneers are a very versatile treatment, providing a brighter, whiter, straighter smile for almost anyone.
Problem- Can my broken tooth be saved?
Solution- Crowns
Yes, your dentist might be able to save your tooth by placing a crown on the broken tooth. A crown is a tooth-colored, custom-made covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns protect and strengthen teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Problem- Replacing missing teeth?
Solution- You have three options to replace missing teeth
1. Dentures (False Teeth)
Modern-day dentures can look very realistic and improve the appearance of your face but as your gums shrink and your bite changes your dentures may need to be relined or re-made.
2. Bridges (false teeth that are fixed onto adjacent natural teeth)
A Bridge maintains the shape of your face and restores your ability to properly chew and speak. Bridges are not removable and can last for 10-15 years if well looked after.
3. Dental implants (metal 'pegs' are placed in your jawbone, and dentures, crowns or bridges are clipped or screwed on top of them.)
When a tooth is lost, the missing root also causes problems since the bone surrounding the hole where the root used to be will gradually shrink and disappear. A dental implant placed in this area can actually stimulate bone growth and production, preventing loss of valuable bone structure
Problem –My teeth are crooked teeth
 Crooked teeth might affect your in confidence and self-esteem. If left untreated, crooked teeth can lead to periodontal disease and premature wear on your enamel.
Solution- Orthodontic braces
You can choose from Envisaging, which are clear braces to incognito braces that are applied to your teeth in the inside.

It might be easier to smile with confidence. A beautiful smile is no longer just for celebrities.20/20 Dental Practice is cosmetic dentist  Newbury.

Whether you are 80 or 8, your dental health is  important.

Millions of people fail to visit a dentist each year, even though regular dental examinations and good oral hygiene can prevent most dental disease.

About 18% of people according to the BACD report that people hide their teeth in photos due to grey or yellow teeth. A bright and white smile is now seen to be one of the fundamental aspects of beauty.

There are many ways to achieve a whiter smile. Obviously prevention is always better than cure so if possible try to avoid drinking red wine, black tea or coffee in excess. Getting your teeth cleaned professionally at the dentist is also essential in keeping your teeth shining throughout the year.

However, if you want you to whiten your smile it is possible to get your teeth whitened. This is a non-invasive procedure, which leaves you with a natural yet bright smile.

How to whiten teeth-

1. Home Whitening:

The dentist will make a mould of your teeth and then provide you with the whitening material. It is essential that you get this material from the dentist, as too high a concentration will damage your teeth. It is illegal to get bleaching materials from anywhere else except a licensed dentist including beauty salons. You then need to sleep with the mould for 2 weeks or until you have the desired result.

2. In Surgery bleaching

Another option to get your teeth whitened is to have in surgery whitening. This requires you to first undertake home whitening and then have a dental appointment where the dentist will apply a higher concentration of the whitening gel. The appointment will take an hour and guarantees to leave you with brighter and whiter teeth. The product that the dentist will use is called “Enlighten” and was voted the best tooth-whitening product in 2012.

At 20/20 Dental Practice we will discussthe best teeth whitening in Newbury with you.

There are three main reasons why your teeth may have brown stains:

1. Certain drinks
2. Smoking
3. Poor oral hygiene

Drinks
Some drinks unfortunately can stain your teeth. These include black coffee, tea, coke and red wine. Other foods such as curry can also stain your tea. Having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist every 6 months can decrease the chances of these permanently staining your teeth.

Smoking
It is well known that smoking has many adverse health affects that include an increase in risk of coronary heart disease and lung cancer. Smoking also affects your teeth and skin. Many people claim to be able to recognise a smoker simply by the colour of their teeth and skin. Smoking may leave a brownish stain on your teeth from the tar in the cigarette. Stopping smoking has many beneficial health effects for the whole body including your teeth. To find the best way to stop smoking for you consult your doctor.

Poor Oral Hygiene
Brown spots on your teeth may be a sign of tooth decay. Poor oral hygiene can also lead to a build up of plaque giving your teeth a yellowish appearance. By not brushing everyday, flossing and seeing your dentist regularly there is a high chance of caries forming on your teeth leading to discolouration. By improving your dental hygiene it may be possible to remove these stains.

Will missing teeth cause problems?
1. Missing teeth will affect the way you look and can make you self-conscious about smiling.
2. Your remaining teeth may tilt and drift into the gaps, changing the way your teeth bite together causing problems with your jaw joint.
3. A missing tooth can mean greater strain is put on the teeth on either side of the gap.
4. Trapped food can increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. If you have a lot of teeth missing, your facial muscles can become saggy, affecting your speech.

For all these reasons you should visit your dentist to discuss replacing your lost tooth or teeth as soon as possible.

A beautiful, natural looking smile is possible with dental veneers.

What are dental veneers?
Indirect Veneer
Dental veneers are wafer thin porcelain veneer that fit over your teeth. Once in place veneers are indistinguishable from natural teeth. Treatment is very straightforward. Minimal shaping of the front surface of the tooth is carried out before your veneers are made the right shape and shade to suit you. At a second visit your veneers are bonded to your teeth and your new smile is complete.

Direct Veneer
A natural colour ‘composite’ filling material is built up over the tooth to improve the appearance of your teeth.
Direct Veneers are a good choice if you have a small crack or chip in a tooth as they will hide this as well as protecting the rest of the tooth. They may be cheaper but they are not as durable as other types of veneers which mean that they will have to be replaced more often. Typically, a direct composite veneer lasts no more than 2 years.
Direct Veneers are more prone to staining or discolouration than other veneers. Their relative weakness means that they are more likely to break or fall off your tooth and they are not as natural looking as the other types of veneers.

Why do I need a Veneer?
• Your have teeth that are discoloured.
• When you smile your teeth are worn.
• Chipped or broken teeth embarrasses you.
• You do not smile because your teeth are misaligned or misshaped.
• When you smile you cover your mouth because you have a gapy smile

Are veneers right for you?
There are a number of dental conditions that can be successfully resolved using veneers. In some cases, veneers are successful where other treatments are not appropriate; for example for discolouration that does not respond to whitening or where patients are not suitable for Invisalign to correct crooked teeth or gaps between the teeth.

Veneers are a very versatile treatment, providing a brighter, whiter, straighter smile for almost anyone.Contact us today for dental veneers prices on 01635569291.
