Dental check-ups are the basis of good oral health and it is best to pay a visit at least twice a year to your dentist to ensure you are in the best oral health. Check-ups are a good way of observing changes in your teeth and mouth and taking action when it is needed. A good way of maintaining your oral health between visits is keeping to a daily routine of brushing and flossing but if you feel that your teeth are in need of a little more you may want to ask your dentist about deep cleaning. This involves a trained dental hygienist thoroughly cleaning, scaling and polishing your teeth to leave you with a beautiful smile whilst enhancing the health of your teeth and mouth. Periodontal cleaning is also another option if plaque is harder to remove and this will boost the health of your teeth and gum line.

Sometimes problems can be left to grow and quite often this may result in severe tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss. This can obviously have a negative affect on your self-image but cosmetic dentists are experienced and trained in creating new and lovely looking smiles for nearly all cases. Your new, natural looking smile can be achieved through dentures, implants, crowns and veneers all of which will be moulded and created around your teeth and mouth to give you a beautiful, long-lasting smile.

Sometimes your teeth may be very healthy but you feel that their appearance is crooked, misaligned and unattractive. Problems such as these can be rectified with the use of braces and orthodontic treatment. Usually wearing braces involved ugly, metal wire and months if not years of discomfort and often awkwardness, but not with private cosmetic practices.  At private clinics your choice of procedure can be chosen from a range of innovative and advanced treatments such as 6-month smiles, Lingual braces, Inman aligners and Invisalign, which are discreet, virtually undetectable braces making your treatment a lot easier.

Other problems and conditions your cosmetic dentist can treat include gummy smiles which are treated with gum contouring, gaps between teeth fixed with cosmetic bonding and discoloured, dull teeth which are brightened using teeth whitening systems.

For those who are fearful of the dentists there are many dental practitioners in the York area who are highly trained and experience in helping and caring for dental phobic patients have the best visit and treatment possible.
