Dentistry 
Facial aesthetic treatments — including dermal fillers and wrinkle reduction injections — are becoming increasingly popular among people wanting to feel more confident and rejuvenated. But how old do you need to be to have these treatments?
In the UK, it is illegal to provide injectable aesthetic treatments to anyone under 18. This includes dermal fillers and wrinkle-relaxing injections (commonly referred to as Botox). This law was introduced to protect young people from making decisions they may later regret and from unnecessary cosmetic procedures at such a young age.
While 18 is the legal minimum, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right age for everyone. Facial aesthetic treatments are most commonly sought by people in their late twenties and beyond, when early signs of ageing — such as fine lines, loss of volume, or slight sagging — start to appear.
Treatment suitability should always be based on individual needs, not just age. At Evolve Dentistry, we focus on enhancing natural beauty rather than dramatically changing how someone looks. We assess each patient carefully to ensure treatments are appropriate, safe, and in their best interest.
It’s also important that patients are mature enough to make fully informed decisions. Cosmetic treatments can have a big impact on self-image, and it’s crucial to understand the risks, benefits, and realistic outcomes before having treatment.
Regardless of age, a proper consultation is essential. At Evolve Dentistry, we take time to understand your motivations, discuss your concerns, and make sure you have all the information you need to make a confident choice. We will never recommend or carry out treatments that we believe are unnecessary or unsuitable.
Rather than focusing purely on age, we believe in helping you look and feel your best at every stage of life. Whether you’re interested in preventing the early signs of ageing or restoring lost volume later on, we’re here to guide you safely and professionally.
If you’re considering facial aesthetics and would like to learn more about whether it’s right for you, we’d be happy to discuss it in a friendly, no-pressure consultation. Contact Evolve Dentistry in Portishead today to take the first step towards a naturally confident you.

💚 £338 raised for Macmillan Cancer Support! 💚
We had such a lovely time at our Macmillan Coffee Morning last week. ☕🍰
A huge thank you to everyone who popped into the practice, enjoyed a slice of cake, had a chat and made a donation. It was wonderful to see so many of our patients, friends and members of the local community getting involved, and we were genuinely touched by everyone’s generosity.
Together, you helped us raise an amazing £169.
And we’re delighted to share that Carol has very generously matched every pound raised, bringing our final total to…
🥁 £338 for Macmillan Cancer Support! 💚
Thank you to our brilliant team for baking, organising and keeping the cake table well stocked, and to every single person who helped make the day such an enjoyable one.
Days like this remind us just how lovely the community around Evolve really is. 💚

Being shortlisted for Team of the Year means a lot to us, but not because of the trophy.
It’s because dentistry is never the work of one person.
It’s the nurse who notices you’re nervous before you’ve said a word. The reception team member who remembers the conversation you had last time. The clinician who takes time to explain something again. The person behind the scenes making sure your visit runs smoothly.
Those small things happen every day at Evolve, and they only happen because people care about the experience we create together.
So being a finalist gives us a lovely excuse to say something we probably don’t say often enough: we’re incredibly proud of this team.

You might notice a familiar face missing from Evolve for a little while… 💚
Carol is heading to Zambia with SmileStar, a dental charity providing free dental care to communities with limited access to treatment.
In this video, Carol shares a little more about where she’s going, what she’ll be doing while she’s there and why she wanted to be part of the trip.
It’s going to be a very different couple of weeks away from the practice, and we’re incredibly proud to see Carol giving her time and skills to support SmileStar’s work.
We’ll be sharing a little more from her trip when we can, but for now, we’ll let Carol tell you all about it in her own words. 💚
Safe travels, Carol. We can’t wait to hear all about it when you’re home!

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.
