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.

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.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
