Face 
Dentistry 
We use lip fillers based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your own skin, as this gives the most natural-looking results and is a temporary filler, being naturally absorbed by the body over time. This also reduces the risk of an allergic reaction given that it’s not derived from other animal sources, unlike bovine-derived collagen.
Yes, in the right hands. As a qualified Dentist, Carol relies on her intimate understanding of the facial muscles to inject with precision and skill in and around the lips, adopting a ‘less is more’ approach to produce a natural-looking and safe result. Lips contours can be subtly enhanced, restoring lost definition and volume. No ‘trout pouts’ here. We’re never happier than when patients tell us that their friends haven’t noticed they’ve had lip fillers, just how well they look!
Yes, lip fillers – especially hyaluronic acid-based ones like Juvederm and Teoxane – are popular choices for plumping and softening the appearance of vertical smokers’ lines around the mouth. The added bonus of injecting hyaluronic acid is that it will also help to improve the quality of the skin, given its astonishing ability to attract and retain moisture.
The lip area is particularly sensitive, so Carol will numb it using dental block prior to your lip fillers treatment, just as she would if you were having a filling, so that all you will feel is a tiny scratch and slight pressure as she carries out the treatment. Temporary tenderness is common following treatment but will usually go away within a few hours.
The effects of hyaluronic acid-based fillers are not always as immediate as with synthetic fillers, but they do tend to last longer, typically 6-9 months. You can help maintain and even enhance the results by keeping your skin hydrated and moisturised whilst always being sure to avoid massaging the area, as this can disperse the filler. Fillers are not permanent and your lips will eventually go back to normal as the hyaluronic acid is naturally dissolved and absorbed back into the body.

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.
