Something to smile about this festive season
As the days get darker and the air becomes chilly it can mean only one thing – holiday season is upon us!
This time of year is packed full of social events, celebrations, and family gatherings, so why not make sure that your smile looks its best? Someone always takes photos at these sorts of events, and you don’t want to let your smile hold you back from making good memories.
So, if you want to refresh your smile for the festive season, here are some options:
Tooth whitening
Tooth whitening is often a quick, easy solution to give your smile a new sparkle. Although over-the-counter whitening products are available, you will always achieve the best results by speaking to your dentist and exploring professional options. Dentists are able to give you effective treatment that is often far more efficient at achieving results. This is because dentists are legally allowed to prescribe stronger whitening gels and perform whitening procedures, meaning that you can reach your desired tooth shade in a safe and predictable manner.
Plus, by speaking to your dentist you have all of the expert support and advice you need to help ensure that your smile turns out exactly how you want it to.
Composite bonding
Want to repair a chipped tooth or cover discolouration? Composite bonding is a fast, effective treatment that involves tooth-coloured composite being attached to your teeth. This material is then cured using an ultraviolet light, which hardens the material so that it looks and feels like your natural teeth.
Composite bonding can be used to reshape teeth, replace metal fillings, mask a discoloured tooth and more, making it an excellent option for people who want to tweak their smile for the festive season. It protects your natural teeth and requires very little/ no drilling, so that you can keep as much of your natural teeth as possible.
You can also combine composite bonding with tooth whitening to really transform your smile!
Veneers
Veneers are a trusted way to change the look of your smile. This process involves your dentist removing some of the enamel (hard coating) on each tooth you want a veneer on before sticking on a perfectly formed covering that is usually made from ceramic or other tooth-coloured materials. This process requires multiple appointments, but veneers typically last for up to 10 years, for enduring, beautiful results.

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.
