Cosmetic dentistry nowadays is very popular in the UK. As a nation we are taking more and more care in our appearance and want to look as good as possible. Cosmetic dentistry mainly deals with patients and treats them for aesthetic purposes; although there can be more traditional treatments such as root canal treatment carried out at a cosmetic dentistry Oxford. People seeking out more traditional treatments do so because of the long wait it takes to see a free, NHS dentist as compared to a cosmetic Oxford dentist.

Cosmetic dentistry incorporates techniques from other fields such as science, medicine and therapeutics. There have been many advances in the fields, for example the use of high density lights in cosmetic surgery has lead to teeth whitening Oxford, a very popular cosmetic dentistry Oxford treatment. Also the discovery in science of porcelain, which is used as dentures and dental implants, these are very common treatments amongst Oxford dental practices.

Cosmetic Oxford Dentists have to take extra training in the area of Oxford dentistry and have more qualifications than a standard NHS dentist; this is because cosmetic dental treatments can be difficult to perform. Cosmetic Oxford Dental surgeons have to put in extra years of training to hone their skills to such a high level; this means if you visit a cosmetic dentistry in Oxford you can guarantee you will get a very high standard of care and treatment.

Common Cosmetic Oxford Dentist procedures include; dental implants, braces, veneers, dentures, teeth whitening Oxford, crowns and fillings and root canal treatment. Out of these the most simple treatment is teeth whitening, this is the only procedure that can be performed at home by the patient after they have a tailored gum shield and special bleach for their teeth. It’s a affordable treatment to improve your smile.

Dental veneers are used to restore chipped teeth by putting a cover over the chip so that it’s not recognizable any more. Dental implants are used to replace teeth that are completely missing and are drilled into the gum area; an alternative treatment for missing teeth is dental crowns. Root canal treatment is for gums that have become infected. At a cosmetic dentistry Oxford you can also have special braces fitted that appear invisible, these are a lot better than the standard grey metal ones that are referred to as ‘train tracks’.
