Face 
Dentistry 
Facial aesthetic treatments — including dermal fillers and wrinkle-reducing injections — are medical procedures that require a high level of skill and understanding of facial anatomy. But who is actually qualified to provide them?
In the UK, there are currently no laws preventing non-medical individuals from providing certain aesthetic treatments. However, this doesn’t mean it’s safe. The safest providers are registered medical professionals — such as doctors, dentists, and nurses — who have received appropriate training in facial aesthetics.
Dentists are particularly well-qualified to offer these treatments. They have in-depth knowledge of facial structure, muscles, and nerves, and they regularly perform injections as part of their dental work. This expertise means they can deliver treatments safely and achieve natural-looking, balanced results.
Administering facial aesthetic treatments requires more than just injecting a product. It involves precise assessment of facial proportions, understanding how ageing affects different areas, and knowing how to handle any potential complications. Only trained professionals can do this safely and effectively.
Practices and practitioners accredited by Save Face have been independently assessed and meet strict standards for safety, cleanliness, qualifications, and ethical practice. This accreditation is a clear indicator that the provider prioritises patient safety and high standards of care.
While some beauty therapists offer injectables, they often do not have the necessary medical training or experience to deal with complications, which can put your health and appearance at risk.
Before having facial aesthetic treatments, always check your practitioner’s credentials. Ask about their medical background, training, insurance, and experience with the specific treatments you’re interested in.
At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, facial aesthetics are carried out by highly qualified dental professionals in a safe, clinical environment. We are also proud to be Save Face accredited, giving you complete peace of mind.

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.
