Face 
Dentistry 
I didn’t’ realise how conscious I was of my teeth until I looked back at old photographs, I noticed that I didn’t show my teeth in any of them. They were wonky, over-crowded and yellow, not exactly the look I wanted.
I had an appointment with Carol where she asked me how I felt about my smile, we spoke about the areas that I would like to improve and Carol gave me a few options to consider. I decided to book a consultation with Lisa, the Specialist Orthodontist as I was a complex case.
My treatment plan was comprehensive and detailed everything that was needed to comp
lete my treatment. Before I had my braces fitted I had a couple of Hygienist appointments to make sure my teeth and gums were in a good condition.
My teeth felt ‘tight’ for the first few days, not painful at all, I was just aware of them. Having my braces fitted was easy and unexpectedly, I started smiling more as soon as I had them fitted. I think it was because now people would know I was fixing my teeth, so I was happy to show them off more. Not many people noticed I was wearing braces, they are really discreet.
I noticed them moving quite quickly, which was really encouraging. I visited Lisa every 6 weeks to have my wires changed and to check on progress. Initially I only had my top brace fitted as we needed to see how these moved before we started to move the bottom teeth. To achieve the best results, we decided to remove one of my lower teeth. Carol did this for me, I was really nervous, but I can honestly say it was pain free. A few weeks later I had my lower braces fitted.
Near the end of my treatment, we began discussing final tweaks that I might need once the braces were removed. I knew I wanted my teeth whitened, but I didn’t really know much about BioClear Bonding. Carol spoke to me about how this would help disguise the black triangles that I had on my lower teeth, this would be the icing on the cake and help me to get my dream smile.
Having my braces removed was an exciting day, I couldn’t wait to see the end result and I was not disappointed, they looked fabulous. I could not stop smiling and got so many positive comments from people. I started whitening and within a few days saw results, it was a painless process of wearing a plastic whitening tray for a couple of hours a day, it was really simple to do.
The final step was to have BioClear bonding, again it was a painless process and the results were immediate. I couldn’t believe the difference that this made to my smile, I was pleased with the results before BioClear, I was absolutely delighted with it after BioClear.
The whole team were brilliant, they all made me feel really comfortable, didn’t mind answering my endless questions and gave me a variety of options to help me get the smile I’d always wanted.
I now smile all of the time, I’ve got loads of pictures where I’m smiling and showing my teeth. I often get comments from people about my smile. I feel so much more confident now. If you aren’t happy with any part of your smile, I couldn’t recommend Evolve Dentistry in Portishead enough. They are amazing.

Do I have to replace a missing tooth?
If you`ve lost a tooth, do you have to replace it?
Not necessarily.
And that`s an important starting point.
What happens next depends on which tooth is missing, your mouth, how you bite, how you feel about the gap and what`s happening with the teeth around it.
Yasmin explains some of the things we consider when a tooth is missing.
The important thing isn`t assuming you need a particular treatment.
It`s understanding your options - including whether doing nothing could be a reasonable option for you.
Why have my teeth suddenly become sensitive?
That sudden zing when you drink something cold. 🥶
Sound familiar?
Sensitive teeth are common, but there isn`t just one possible cause.
Richard explains some of the reasons teeth can become sensitive and why it`s worth mentioning if you`ve noticed something new.
Sometimes a little sensitivity is exactly that.
But a change that persists is something we`d rather know about than have you quietly avoiding ice cream for the foreseeable future.
Having a tooth removed probably isn`t an appointment anyone particularly looks forward to.
Which is precisely why feedback like this means so much:
“Made getting a tooth extracted incredibly easy and straightforward.”
Good dental care isn`t only about the procedure itself.
It`s about knowing what`s going to happen, being able to ask questions, feeling listened to and being looked after throughout.
Thank you for trusting us with your care - and for taking the time to tell us about your experience.

What can composite bonding actually change?
Composite bonding isn`t about giving everyone the same smile.
It can be used in different ways depending on what someone would like to change.
That might mean adjusting the shape of a tooth, changing proportions, repairing an edge or making a small alteration that helps a smile feel more balanced.
And sometimes bonding isn`t used on its own.
We might combine treatments - perhaps straightening teeth first, whitening them and then using composite bonding to refine particular teeth.
Yasmin explains some of the ways composite bonding can be used.
The important part is deciding what will achieve the result you`re looking for without doing more treatment than is necessary.
