Our case of the month November 2022 involves the use of one of our favourite techniques: Philips ZOOM LED teeth whitening. Tooth whitening has been around for many years and there are lots of different systems on the market today. It is probably the most popular cosmetic dental treatment available and for good reason; everyone deserves whiter teeth! The treatment is safe, minimally invasive, easy to maintain and very affordable.
 

We are a bit late for the January case but it is well worth waiting for. The case involves one of our favourite treatments; ABC. As you may well, we believe in minimally invasive dentistry. We can create stunning smiles without having to drill away your teeth; we simply enhance what you already have.

Our case involves teeth straightening initially using full mouth lingual braces. Lingual braces are the only braces that can be said to be 'invisible'. They are placed behind the teeth so that no one will know that you are having your teeth straightened. Of course, we can use alternative systems such as conventional outside braces or Invisalign also. There are many choices available, long gone are the days of metal train tracks as the only option. 

After we achieved a beautiful straight smile, tooth whitening was done using our in chair Phillips ZOOM whitening and take home kit. 

This was followed by cosmetic bonding to create symmetry of otherwise uneven and asymmetrical teeth. The results are simply awesome and this is a case of a true smile transformation. Please take a look at the before and after photos:
 

Our case of the month for April is simply stunning. A smile transformation in the truest sense of the term. For those of you who have read our posts, we believe in minimally invasive dentistry. Essentially, this means working with your own natural teeth rather than cutting them down. After all, tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the body- why destroy it? Our case presented with severe crowding, discolouration, occlusal problems (bite) and he wanted to correct the problems at hand with a minimally invasive solution. With a combination of orthodontics, tooth whitening and cosmetic bonding, Dr Nissit Patel was able to transform his smile in the most dramatic way. Please view the photographs below:
 

There are only 5 sleeps until Christmas! It's not too late. Give the best present you can to your loved one or yourself- teeth whitening. A white, bright, healthy smile is for everyone and not just for Hollywood Stars. Here are our 5 top tips to achieve great tooth whitening:
 

1. Visit the dental hygienist regularly. Plaque is bacteria and yellow in colour. Stains can readily form from normal diets. Even some mouthwashes can cause discolouration. Corsodyl for example is used long term. Our dental hygienist will remove all of the plaque and stains from your teeth to instantly brighten them. Our new air flow polishing is simply amazing!
2. Clean your teeth twice a day using a good electric tooth brush. Studies have shown sonic and rotational brushes are better at stain removal than manual brushing alone.
3. Avoid heavily staining foods such as curries, oily tomato based sauces, strong black coffee, beetroot and of course, give up smoking!
4. Have professional tooth whitening using the Philips ZOOM LED whitening in surgery. Within 90 minutes, you will have noticeably whiter teeth.
5. Maintain the newly whitened smile with a take home kit using Philips ZOOM gel.
