A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face. Even a subtle change can make a big difference in the way you look and feel. New techniques like bleaching, enamel shaping and veneers and white fillings allow us to create a beautiful smile with minimal changes to existing tooth.

Porcelain Onlays and Crowns: Crowns or caps are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, and they are a great option when you desire a more dramatic change in your appearance. We can significantly lighten the shade of your teeth, correct spacing problems and achieve beautiful aesthetics, particularly if your teeth have been more severely damaged. These newer porcelain materials are similar to natural tooth enamel are wear resistant, and restore teeth to their original appearance. Porcelain onlays and crown not only bond to the tooth structure strengthening the teeth and making them more resistant to fracture, but also cosmetically blend the existing tooth enamel.

Bridges: Sometimes people loose teeth or multiple teeth in a row. If a span of teeth is missing, it can be bridged. Thanks to the twenty first century technology and advanced materials, they are more natural looking, longer lasting and easier to place than before. Bridges are the classical option for replacing up to four missing teeth in a row, whether it's in the front of the mouth or on one side.

Porcelain veneers: Porcelain veneers allow us to predictably enhance your smile. When you want that Hollywood smile, these straight restorations are the treatment of choice. Veneers are much like the facing on a fine cabinet or a fingernail applied by a manicurist. They are thin shells of porcelain applied to the outside of a tooth to change size, shape, colour or alignment. They are strong durable and offer the most aesthetic solution to many cosmetic problems. They work well for patients with misshapen or crooked teeth, severe discolouration, and other aesthetic imperfections. Two visits are all that are necessary for that beautiful smile.

Smile design: A healthy attractive smile is important facet of life. It has an impact on your health, self esteem, and relationships both professional and personal. You may not like the shape or colour of your teeth. Your concern might be gaps or missing teeth. Your gum line might be unusual. Each individual that comes to see us has unique concerns and the dentist will use artistry of smile design and crowns and veneers to design the perfect smile just for you.

White fillings: Advanced materials that contain no mercury are used to give you beautiful results. Silver fillings are becoming a thing of the past. Synthetic resins are bonded to the teeth to fill small cavities and fix chips beautifully. They restore teeth to their original appearance. Since teeth are translucent, dark fillings cause the whole tooth to appear darker when viewed from the side. Replacing older dark fillings with white fillings will keep your smile glowing.

Tooth Whitening Programs: Tooth whitening is one of the simplest ways for you to achieve a more youthful appearance or brighten your smile. It's easy, affordable and painless! We provide at home whitening treatments delivered with a tray so that you can whiten while you sleep. We custom design mouth tray, and then get you started in the office showing you how to use the gel. You take home the tray and whitening kit and lighten your teeth at home.

Root Canal Therapy: Root canal therapy is necessary when the soft inner core of a tooth is damaged by decay or trauma. It is a technique where the nerves of teeth are removed and replaced with a plastic like material guta percha. This allows the patient to maintain their teeth, yet eliminates tooth pain. The good thing about endodontic therapy is that it can help a patient maintain a tooth, not too many years ago would have been extracted.

Ultrasonic Cleaning: a warm water and baking soda solution gently washes over your teeth, leaving them feeling and looking great.

Periodontal Care: The most beautiful smile won't endure unless the supporting gum tissues are healthy. Periodontal care involves eliminating infection around the teeth and correcting abnormalities of the gums and supporting bone. Early identification and proper treatment of these conditions are critical as periodontal disease can easily lead to significant oral problems and loss of teeth. A thorough periodontal assessment is a key part of a good oral health evaluation. It helps us to determine the condition of the underlying foundation before any dental care is initiated. Unhealthy gums will not support healthy teeth. Should problem areas be discovered, appropriate treatment will be recommended. Treatment of the diseases comprises of non surgical and surgical intervention and may include adjunctive therapy e.g. antibiotics, bone grafts and periodontal regeneration materials. Periodontology also involves the treatment of gum recession, gum overgrowth and dental implants.

Implants: A remarkable advancement in dental science, implants are permanent restorations anchored in the jaw, used to replace missing teeth. Implants look, feel and function like natural teeth. We can anchor implant into the jaw, where it will later retain an artificial tooth or crown. This will allow you to regain the ability to bite chew and talk naturally and smile confidently without harming your adjacent natural teeth. Not everyone is a candidate for an implant but, if you are, think it's the next best thing to a patient's original tooth.

Dentures: Full Dentures are also an option when you are missing all of your teeth. Partial dentures may solve the problem when there are not enough healthy natural teeth left to support a bridge.

Preventive care: At Chingford dental surgery, our preventive care program goes well beyond routine cleanings, cavity preparation. We also educate our patients as to the most effective oral hygiene and the best dental practices and techniques available today. Most importantly, we encourage our patients to ask questions in order to become informed participants when time to consider treatment options.

Orthodontics (Braces): Orthodontics means more than a beautiful smile; it means a healthy smile too. Also known as braces, Orthodontics is the speciality concerned with correctly positioned teeth, jaw bones, jaw joints and chewing muscles.

Many people have crooked or overcrowded teeth, but until recently having them straightened by Orthodontics has only been seen as option for children and teenagers. Now adults are realising the advantages of having their teeth straightened, and wearing braces has become increasingly common amongst 20's, 30's and beyond.

Part of the reason for the surge in the popularity of Orthodontics is that a bright confident smile is increasingly seen as important in today's image conscious society. But another reason is the improved methods available, and the fact that, to some extent, the style of braces you wear can be chosen to reflect your lifestyle and personality.

Types of braces

These days there is a range of different types of braces available. In addition to regular metal braces, there are also less visible braces.

Metal braces:

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive. With metal braces you have the option of adding coloured elastics for a more unique and colourful smile.

Clear braces:

Clear braces are made of translucent material. They are most popular with our adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. They are difficult to see on the teeth unless you are very close to the patient.

Clear braces blend with the teeth for a discreet cosmetic option. You can achieve the smile you want with the clear braces that won't interfere with your cosmetically conscious, busy life style. Unlike traditional stainless steel braces, with clear braces your smile will not look “metallic”. They may be used whenever metal braces are appropriate for treatment and they move the teeth as effectively as traditional braces while maintaining your confident smile.

These are the type of braces actor Tom Cruise had.
