Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry at MSC

From time to time, there is a possibility that all of us notice something that we feel could be improved with our teeth. If the idea of improving your teeth in some way has struck you before, we here at MSC can help you make an informed decision. Midlands Smile Centres are staffed with a number of highly skilled and vastly experienced dentists who can help you achieve the kind of smile you are looking for.

In regards to what you feel needs to be improved with your teeth, there is a distinction between dental treatment that is purely cosmetic and that which is more necessary. One of the more necessary forms of treatment that people often require is dental implants. Dental implants are a solution for missing teeth; they consist of a false tooth and a titanium supporting rod. MSC has a great deal of experience in providing dental implants, something which is crucial when it comes successfully carrying out this procedure. At MSC you will discover a pleasing selection of types of dental implant treatments.

Individual Dental Implants

Dental implants are comfortable and have a natural appearance so your smile will get a definite visual boost. The titanium supporting rod of the implant is inserted into the jawbone so that the false tooth attached to it rests on top of the gum and functions in the way that a natural tooth would. Dental implants are largely considered to be one of the most versatile types of treatment that exists for replacing missing teeth.

How We Do It

Here at MSC, we can employ a “no-scalpel” technique within the dental implant treatment procedure.

First of all, the dentist will use X-ray imaging to locate the precise area for the implant to be placed. Then the implant will be inserted directly into the patient's gum without making an incision with the scalpel.

As a result of the “no-scalpel” technique, the patient experiences less pain, bleeding and swelling in response to the treatment. The patient can expect a faster rate of recovery, too.

Other Types of Dental Implants at MSC

Implanted Dentures

Implanted dentures are a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, and they make use of implants which are attached to the jawbone. Attached to these implants will be the extensions, and it is these extensions that your new teeth will be connected to. These new teeth are highly functional and will feel natural in your mouth.

Gold Implants

This form of implant boasts a striking visual edge that is complemented by the same kind of function that ordinary implants provide. Consisting of a titanium implant and a gold tooth made of a gold alloy, this type of implant will also not put a strain on the surrounding teeth. A durable option as well, gold implants offer both function and style.

Implanted Bridges

Similar to ordinary bridges, implanted bridges or 'implant supported bridges' provide the patient with a row of false teeth that can be positioned inside a gap that exists between other natural teeth in the mouth. Implanted bridges are supported by implants- this means that surrounding teeth are not damaged in the way that they would be with ordinary bridges.

Cosmetic Dentistry

This section explores the ways in which Midlands Smile Centres can enhance your teeth on a more cosmetic level. At MSC, we have a number of treatments that fall under the heading of cosmetic dentistry. This is where, if you feel your teeth are lacking that certain something to make them look better, you might find the right MSC service to produce your ideal smile.

Our Cosmetic Treatments

Teeth Whitening

Staining or yellowing of teeth can be caused by a large number of factors. Here at MSC, we can offer the Enlighten Tooth Whitening system to combat this. Following specially-made, close-fitting trays being created by our dentist, the patient can take these trays away for use in the convenience of their own homes. These trays can be filled with the whitening gel supplied to the patient and worn overnight for a period of two weeks before a final treatment by the dentist.

Airflow

Another method of stain removal, airflow treatment with MSC provides your teeth with a superbly thorough clean. This form of treatment makes use of a pressurised jet of air, water and sodium bicarbonate to polish teeth and reach 5mm into periodontal pockets. Also able to remove plaque from your teeth, this is a comfortable and pleasant way to make your teeth cleaner and brighter.

Veneers

Veneers are thin layers of material that can be placed over discoloured, decayed, damaged, misaligned or irregular shaped teeth. Usually made of porcelain, veneers are a simple way of making a sizeable improvement to the appearance of your teeth.

White Fillings

An appealing alternative to the more traditional grey amalgam fillings, we at MSC can provide you with white fillings. Giving you the kind of function you need on an everyday basis, MSC white fillings are more aesthetically pleasing than grey fillings, and unlike grey fillings, they will not be noticeable when you laugh or smile.

Gold Services

MSC gold services include gold crowns, gold implants, gold inlays and gold veneers. Gold crowns are a visually striking way of replacing your old crowns or restoring teeth that have issues with them such as decay.

Gold Implants- These function as you would expect normal implants to but do so with a bold cosmetic twist.

Gold Inlays- If you have a tooth that has a cavity in it but the surrounding tooth is healthy, then the glamorous looking gold inlays from MSC might be for you.

Gold Veneers- Offering a similar level of function to standard veneers, MSC gold veneers also boast an eye-catching appearance to give your smile a totally unique touch.
