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.

🦷 Dental myth or dental fact? 🤔
One of the most common myths we hear is that teeth whitening is bad for your teeth.
In this video, Maggie explains why professionally prescribed teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional.
Unfortunately, misinformation can stop people from exploring treatments that could help them feel more confident about their smile. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing trusted advice and helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health.

At Evolve, we’re incredibly proud of our team - not just for the care they provide to our patients, but for the difference they make beyond the practice too. 💜
On 30 July, our wonderful dental nurse, Kayse, and her brother will be taking on an incredible challenge by completing a charity skydive in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
They’re stepping well outside their comfort zones to raise money for a cause that means so much. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect millions of families, taking away precious memories and changing lives forever. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK, they’re helping to fund vital research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Their fundraising target is £650, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.
If you’d like to support Kayse and her brother, you can donate here:

Good luck with the jump Kayse - we know you’ll be amazing! ✈️💜

“How long will it take?” 🤔
It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.
Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.
At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.
Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.
