Dentistry 
What is meant by cosmetic dentistry?
The term ‘cosmetic dentistry’ is a generic term that refers to a wide range of treatment that focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. This includes treatments such as tooth whitening, dental bonding, veneers and braces. We offer all of these at our Portishead Dentist practice.
How much does it cost to have a dental makeover?
It’s not possible to give a cost for a dental makeover as there are so many variables. Here at Evolve in Portishead, tooth whitening costs just £360.
What is the best cosmetic treatment for teeth?
At Evolve, we believe that the best treatment is the most minimally invasive treatment that is right for you. This is something that will depend on your current oral health and also what you are trying to change about your smile. However, the following are common treatments that we offer here in our Portishead dental practice:
Why do people get cosmetic dentistry?
We speak to a lot of people who have low confidence due to their smile. Having stained, chipped, wonky or gappy teeth can have a big impact on how often people smile. Take a look at photographs of yourself, are you showing your teeth and smiling in them? If not, then you may benefit from some cosmetic dental treatment to give you the confidence to smile.
When should you consider cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dental treatments are 100% elective, which means they are not necessary for the overall health of your teeth. This means that it’s completely down to the individual as to when they feel they would like to begin dental treatment to improve their smile. We see a lot of people that are looking to have a smile makeover before their wedding or a big birthday, but we also regularly see people that have decided now is the time to improve their confidence. Having an increase in confidence from a beautiful smile can be life changing.

Have you ever wondered whether orthodontic treatment might be worth exploring?
It isn’t only about having perfectly straight teeth.
You might decide to ask about adult braces because:
• you feel self-conscious about crowded or overlapping teeth
• gaps bother you
• your bite doesn’t feel quite right
• teeth have moved since you had braces when you were younger
• cleaning between crowded teeth is difficult
• you avoid smiling in photographs
• you simply want to understand what could be possible
None of these automatically means you need braces.
A consultation is simply a chance to understand your smile, discuss what you’d like to change and find out whether orthodontic treatment is appropriate for you.

Do you clench or grind your teeth without realising?
For some people it happens during sleep. Others notice themselves clenching when they’re concentrating or under pressure.
Over time, tooth grinding can contribute to worn or chipped teeth, jaw discomfort, headaches or sensitivity.
Richard explains some of the common reasons people grind their teeth and why it’s worth mentioning if you think you might be doing it.
There isn’t one solution that’s right for everybody, so the first step is understanding what’s happening in your individual case.

Of course we care about what happens to your teeth.
But we care about how you feel while you’re here, too.
Whether you’re visiting for a routine Healthy Mouth Review, considering a change to your smile or coming to see us because something is worrying you, we want you to feel listened to, informed and comfortable asking questions.
In this short video, Carol talks about the experience she wants every patient to have at Evolve.
Because good dentistry isn’t only about the treatment. It’s about the person receiving it.

Having amalgam fillings doesn’t automatically mean they need to be replaced.
If a filling is sound and the tooth is healthy, there may be no dental reason to remove it.
Some adults choose to explore replacement because a filling is failing, because of its appearance, or because they have made a personal decision that they would prefer an alternative material.
What matters is having the information you need to make an informed choice.
In this video, we talk through some of the reasons an amalgam filling might be replaced, and when leaving it alone may be the appropriate option.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
In this video, we explain what the SMART approach involves and why someone might choose it.

Why do dentists recommend fluoride toothpaste?
Because fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay.
It’s one of those small, everyday habits that can make a meaningful difference to your oral health over time.
In this short video, Yasmin explains why fluoride is recommended and why the toothpaste you use matters.
Simple advice, but an important part of looking after your teeth between appointments.
