Patients from Rochdale reach for the stars with cosmetic dentistry

Celebrities and cosmetic treatment go hand-in-hand, if you believe the gossip. There are some well-known examples who have taken it too far, but a lot of the time results are much more subtle. Cosmetic dentistry is popular with the stars as it can improve their appearance, make them look younger and keep their faces appearing in the magazines and on the big screen.

Many of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that celebrities use are available at Mossley Dental Care, where patients from Rochdale and nearby areas can take advantage of advanced options. Teen star Miley Cyrus and prominent figure Kate Middleton, the newest member of the Royal family, are rumoured to have had veneers; a set of perfect teeth that cover crooked and stained smiles. Both have been spotted with straight grins a few weeks after photographs showing their smiles quite differently.

Orthodontics may be able to achieve the same look, but only after months of wearing braces. As with many cosmetic procedures it is very easy to go too far – and there are several stars that have chosen veneers that are far too bright compared to their natural tooth colour and end up with smiles that look fake.

Dozens of celebrities appear to have had teeth whitening treatments at some point in their careers, as an appearance pick-me-up ahead of an important red carpet event. Everywhere these stars go they are expected to have dazzling grins. Many hip hop stars also choose gold teeth. Kanye West, for example, raised a few eyebrows when he revealed that he had his entire bottom set covered with veneers made of diamonds. However, we hope to help our patients do down a more discreet route in terms of cosmetic dentistry treatment.

 

Patients from Hyde benefit from Cerec smiles at Mossley Dental Care

Cerec is an innovative new system which can save both dentists and visiting patients time. It involves the manufacture and fitting of ceramic false teeth, crowns and veneers in-practice on the same day. Mossley Dental Care is ecstatic to offer this fantastic treatment option, and it is already proving a big hit with our patients from Hyde and nearby areas.

Having a crown, false tooth or set of veneers fitted would normally take two appointments, but the Cerec system allows your dentist to take an impression and create a tooth restoration on-site based on bespoke measurements. This is a vast improvement on the traditional method in terms of treatment time, when the first appointment would be where measurements were taken and the second where the new tooth is fitted.

There is also no need to worry that quality has been sacrificed in the name of speed and convenience – the Cerec manufacturing system uses only the best quality ceramic, which is available in several different shades. This is so the dentist can match your false tooth as closely as possible to the natural colour of your smile. Ceramic is not only a tough, long-lasting material for false teeth, it has also been proven to be a healthier alternative to more established materials such as gold and other metals.

This system is increasing in popularity all the time, so if you want to see what all the fuss is about – or find out if Cerec is a suitable treatment option for your particular dental problem – make an appointment for a consultation with one of our friendly staff and we will be happy to help.

The friendly and approachable staff at our Stockport practice is always on hand to handle any concerns you may have to ensure your treatment runs smoothly.

Failed post crowns

One of the common problems we see at the practice is the  failure of post crowns. These are teeth that have been saved from extration in the past by root filling the tooth and then providing a post to provide retention and then a crown over the top of the post.This type of treatment is an advanced form of restorative dentistry and the final attempt to save a failing tooth. Depending on a number of factors the long term prognosisi of such a treatment can vary from a few months to many years of successful function.

What happens when theses teeth fail?  Failure occurs when the root supporting the crown can no longer retain the post possibly due to decay around the root or a root fracture. If a tooth has a root fracture it is advisable to have it removed as soon as possible otherwise significant bone loss may occur which may compromise the placement of an implant.

Extraction is the only option. If a patient is wearing a denture then a tooth may be added to this denture. If a patient does not wish to have a denture long term then a bridge or dental implant is the treatment of choice .

The provision of a bridge may mean destruction of sound adjacent teeth in order to facilitate a bridge. The most conservative option is a dental implant.The modern implant is often simple to place and provides  long term success.

The Six Month Smiles tooth straightening system

At Watson & Winston Dental Care we have been using the Six Month  Smile system for a number of years with dramatic results.

The biggest barrier to adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment used to be that people did want to be in treatment for two years or more and that they did not want metal “train track” braces.

We see many people who are very surprised to find out that we can straighten their crooked teeth using invisible braces that take about six months. So how are we able to do this?

Six Month Smiles uses time tested techniques combined with the latest in orthodontic materials and technologies to move your teeth quickly and safely. Many of the component pieces that make up Six Month Smiles have actually been used in orthodontics for over 60 years. Six Month Smiles simply puts these pieces together in a new and exciting way to achieve our main goal of giving you the smile you always wanted in the fastest time possible.

One of the key technologies is the use of hi tech archwires. These wires have what is called shape memory. That means however the wire is bent, twisted, or deformed by the current improper position of your teeth the wire will return to the ideal original shape. This allows your teeth to automatically move to the desired location.

Our main focus for our Six Month Smiles patients is to give them a great smile as quickly as possible and most of our cases are completed in just six months.

Because of our experience in this field Watson & Winston Dental Care are attracting patients from all around the Manchester area. More and more patients are coming to us for tooth straightening from Stockport as we are only a short distance away, motorway links make the journey very quick and easy and there is ample free parking outside the dental practice.
