Our case of the month for June involves repairing worn and fractured edges of the upper front teeth using composite bonding. Cosmetic bonding is a fantastic technique to repair teeth using minimally invasive dentistry. The process involves NO drilling, NO needles and NO pain. Please take a look at our case:
 

Do you suffer from tooth wear? Are your teeth short and jagged at the edges? Are they sensitive? Do they look unattractive? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then just look at our case study below on how to fix them. Here is the answer!
 

Cosmetic dentistry has evolved greatly over the years, with the emphasis now on minimal intervention rather than cutting down healthy teeth. Cosmetic bonding emphasises this new approach as it is a completely non invasive way of correcting imperfections on front teeth, repairing chips and breaks, closing spaces and creating symmetry. Our case study highlights the impact that cosmetic bonding can have:
 

Our case of the month for November 2013 is a superb ABC case. This involves: 

A- alignment of teeth using invisible lingual braces 
B- bleaching of teeth using teeth whitening strips 
C- cosmetic bonding of teeth to enhance the appearance and create symmetry 

ABC is the FUTURE of cosmetic dentistry. A new smile can be achieved with non invasive dentistry, preservation of tooth enamel, no needles and no drilling!! What could be better? 

Here are the before and after photos:
 

Modern cosmetic dentistry should utilise the least invasive treatment possible and yet still produce wonderful results. Our case study demonstrates this. We transformed the smile without any drilling, without needles and without pain!
 

We strongly believe in non invasive techniques to enhance smiles. Long gone are the days when teeth needed to hacked away with destructive techniques to provide a new smile. Modern day dentistry encompasses minimally invasive techniques which require no needles, no drilling and no pain! For example, our case study below wanted to close the gaps between the teeth. They were told that porcelain veneers would be required, which involved removing all the tooth enamel and many thousands of pounds. 

However, our Principal Dentist Dr Nissit Patel advised another solution; composite bonding. This involved no drilling, no needles and was far more affordable. In addition, the maintenance is simple and cost effective. There really are no downsides.
 

The only truly invisible dental brace is one which sits on the inside of your teeth. Lingual is Latin for 'towards the tongue' hence the name lingual brace.

This is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic brace. Kate Middleton even had her teeth straightened with lingual braces before the big day and Cheryl Cole wore lingual braces whilst judging on the X factor. However, lingual braces are not just for celebrities and A list stars, the treatment is available for all who wish to improve their smile discreetly. The brace can be attached to 6 or more of teeth. It depends on the amount of straightening required which is determined largely by an innovative analysis which can show us a predicted end result. A very popular technique for mild to moderate crowding cases is called 'Social 6'. This is because the brace is only applied to the front 6 teeth. This technique can be excellent for relapse after previous orthodontic treatment, where the teeth have started to drift out of position. Our case study below highlights such a case.
 

One of our key principles at Progressive Dentistry is to adopt minimally invasive procedures with all aspects of our treatment. 

Recently, Martin Kelleher Consultant dentist at King's College London made the news by pointing out that some 'cosmetic dentists' were identifying diseases such as 'porcelain deficiency' and excess of tooth enamel. Of course, these are fabricated conditions but he was making a serious point. Removing tooth enamel removes the protective layer of the tooth which is the strongest tissue in the human body. This is turn can lead to future problems such as tooth fracture, root canal treatment and even tooth removal. This is why we promote minimally invasive technique to create beautiful smiles. 

A smile transformation can be done without any enamel removal. How? 

Firstly aligning teeth to achieve the best position using our rapid orthodontic techniques, then bleaching to whiten and brighten and finally composite bonding to repair those imperfections and achieve symmetry.

We strongly believe that non or minimally invasive dentistry is best. Modern techniques and materials mean that we no longer have to be destructive to natural tooth to create stunning results.
