10 Ways MSC Can Help You Achieve a Fantastic Smile

If improving smile or recapturing the smile of your youth has been weighing on your mind. There are a range of treatments which may help you obtain a smile you will be happy to share with everyone. This blog provides an overview of some of some of the simple and and not so simple ways you can reclaim a beautiful youthful smile using cosmetic dental services.

1) Veneers

If you have teeth that are an irregular shape, misaligned, discoloured, or are decayed or damaged in some way, veneers are a fairly straightforward solution to this problem. Veneers are thin layers of material that can be placed over the top of imperfect teeth. They are tooth-coloured and usually made of porcelain, and having them means that large sections of your healthy teeth do not need to be removed.

2) White Fillings

As well as the more conventional grey amalgam fillings, MSC also offer white fillings. Not only are these white fillings capable of making the necessary practical improvement to your teeth, but they are a much more natural looking and aesthetically pleasing option than grey amalgam fillings.

3) Restorative Dentistry

In this category of MSC treatment, bridges, crowns and dentures are all available to help improve your dental health. Bridges are false teeth that are fixed to adjacent natural teeth around areas where teeth have been lost due to various causes, and they are ideal if you don’t like dentures. Crowns, sometimes known as a cap, fit over individual teeth to restore them, imbuing them with stability and providing the shape of a natural tooth. Dentures are made using acrylic (plastic) or a combination of metal and plastic. They replace missing teeth and may be held in place with retaining clips.

4) Airflow

By making use of a jet of water, air and sodium bicarbonate, airflow treatment is an effective way to rid your teeth of stubborn stains caused by smoking and drinking tea, coffee and red wine. Able to help reduce plaque build-up and decrease the sensitivity of teeth, airflow treatment is a more advanced form of a scale and polish. Another positive thing about our airflow treatment is that it doesn’t contain any chemicals, so your teeth will become cleaner and will look better without the risk of burns or irritations.

5) Gold Services

If you’re looking for something a little more glamorous to augment your smile, gold services at MSC may just be the thing for you. Here at MSC you can find gold implants, gold crowns/custom crown design, gold inlays and gold veneers. In addition to the obvious style that our gold services introduce to your smile, they can provide the necessary dental function, too.

6) Dental Implants

It is widely considered that dental implants are the most versatile and all-round superior option for missing teeth, so opting for this treatment is likely to be a sure way to enhance the appearance and all-round health of your teeth. Implants at MSC are available in three forms: dental implants, denture implants and gold implants.

MSC are an ideal dentist for performing this procedure. The reason for this is that MSC’s dentists have over twenty five years’ experience of performing successful implants procedures, and with this type of treatment, it is crucial that patients always choose a provider who has a long history of successful procedures, and not simply go to the cheapest provider. Also, we use a no scalpel technique that incorporates X-ray imaging to place the implant straight into the gum without an incision, thus reducing pain, bleeding, swelling and shortening healing time.

7) Orthodontics

An area of treatment offered by MSC that comes in different forms, orthodontics with Midlands Smile Centres are a sure way to correct your teeth for a more visually pleasing smile. Orthodontics treatment utilises braces, and at MSC, we can offer you traditional braces, Damon braces and Invisalign braces. Invisalign braces are transparent alligners. They are removable and are designed to manoeuver your teeth gradually into the desired position. We also provide Six Months Smiles, which are subtle due to the fact that they are tooth- coloured, and move your teeth slowly over a period of 4-9 months to ensure they are sufficiently straightened.

8) Hygienist Treatment

Hygienist treatment is a great idea for your teeth, as it allows the overall standard of your dental health to be assessed - helping you combat the chances of tooth decay, tooth wear and gum disease- and for your teeth to receive a through clean. It’s also an opportunity for you to receive some important advice on maintaining your dental health.

9) Inlays

If you have a large cavity with a healthy surrounding tooth, we can provide inlays and onlays. Onlays are able to replace the cusp of a tooth which maintains the shape of the tooth, while inlays, which are usually made with tooth-coloured porcelain, are inserted into the hole in the tooth.

10) Teeth Whitening

Designed to give your teeth a real cosmetic lift, special trays for home tooth whitening can be made by our highly experienced dentists. Once your suitability for home whitening kits has been assessed, you can begin the treatment. The trays that are made for you will need to be filled with whitening gel and worn for a few hours every day. And once you are satisfied with the result, just stop the treatment.

If you know one of these treatments is going to be a great investment. Allowing you to to have a summer with some photos you will treasure, get in touch with Midlands Smile Centres today. Some of our practices provide free consultations for implant and orthodontic services.

Dental Implants At Midlands Smile Centres

Midlands Smile Centres are staffed with a number of highly skilled dentists with a vast amount of experience in dental implants, and they can help you overcome the obstacles that prevent you from achieving the smile that you are seeking. One of the obstacles that people face is missing teeth. Having missing teeth in the mouth can adversely affect the appearance of a person's smile, and partially reduce their overall confidence as a result.

Implants at MSC come in various forms for different purposes. By drawing on the vast experience they have in performing dental implants procedures- which is essential for this type of treatment- our dentists are able to give you the treatment you need to create the kind of smile you are looking for.

The Types of Implants Available at MSC

Single Dental Implants - Single Dental Implants are made-up of two parts: a real-looking false tooth and a supporting titanium rod. These Single Dental Implants replace both the missing tooth and the root of your missing tooth. The supporting rod is inserted into the jawbone and the false-tooth is visible on top of the gum.

Implanted Dentures - Implanted Dentures are an alternative to traditional removable dentures. They make use of titanium screws or cylinders in the jawbone and extensions on top of those which are attached to the new teeth in your mouth.

Gold Implants - Gold Implants are similar to Single Dental Implants in the way that they are made-up of two-parts: the titanium implant attached to the jawbone and a false tooth. With Gold Implants, the false tooth is gold in its appearance, and this is a result of the false-tooth being made with a gold alloy. The gold alloy is derived through a combining of various materials including palladium, copper, silver, zinc and platinum.

Implanted Bridges - Implanted Bridges make use of implants inserted into the jawbone as well as extensions (if necessary) and the crown of the bridge, which is the visible tooth part. Implanted Bridges are used to replace sections of missing teeth in the mouth and are an alternative to traditional bridges.

What These Implants Are and What They Can Do For You

Single Dental Implants - Having Single Dental Implants is an effective solution for those with missing teeth as they are highly lauded for their versatility. Single Dental Implants are also comfortable, plus they are natural in their appearance.

Implanted Dentures - Implanted Dentures at MSC are a fine option for those that want something to replace the missing teeth that they have but want something that is superior to regular dentures. In contrast to regular dentures, Implanted Dentures are more secure, allowing for a better experience of eating food. In addition, Implanted Dentures prevent the jawbone from receding in the manner that would be expected with regular dentures.

Gold Implants - Gold Implants at MSC offer you the kind of function that you require from dental implants while also bringing a striking visual touch to your smile.

Implanted Bridges - Filling the gap where you currently have missing teeth in your mouth, Implanted Bridges make an obvious and instant difference to your teeth and the way they look. By replacing the missing teeth, these bridges also put a stop to the risk of your bite being put out of alignment. Leaving a gap in your teeth can lead to your jawbone shrinking and a resulting alteration in your facial structure and smile as well.

Also, by resting on the implants in your gums instead of resting on the surrounding healthy teeth, they are a healthier choice for your teeth because they will not wear down the healthy teeth around the gap. Another advantage that comes with having Implanted Bridges is that they can last for the entirety of your life, whereas ordinary bridges usually require changing after 10-15 years.

MSC's Implant Treatment Process- Brief Overview

Single Dental Implants - Single Dental Implants make use of a titanium supporting rod that attaches to the jawbone and a false-tooth on top of this. As part of MSC's treatment process for single dental implants, we use a “no scalpel” method. This method employs X-ray imaging which is used to precisely locate where the implant will be placed. Then, the implant is inserted directly into the gum without the use of a scalpel. Due to MSC's “no scalpel” technique, the patient experiences less bleeding, swelling and pain, and can expect a faster rate of recovery. At least three months is required for this procedure within just two visits.

Implanted Dentures - If the dentist deems your mouth and jaw suitable for implanted dentures, X-rays will be taken of your mouth before moulds are taken to ensure the best fit for you.

The next stage of the process is to attach the implants (titanium screws or cylinders to form the new “roots” for implanted dentures) to the jawbone. Between 4 and 6 “roots” will be needed. In the next 2-6 months the bone will bond with the implants. While this is happening, a temporary denture is provided to be worn over the implants during this period.

Following this, extensions are attached to the implants, which necessitates a further two-week healing period. Some implants combine the extension with the root meaning that the new teeth can be installed as soon as the first healing period is complete. (We will inform you as to which system is right for you).

Lastly, the full set of tailor-made teeth is connected to the implants and will be ready for you to use straight-away.

Improving Your Smile With MSC

Orthodontics is an important type of treatment that is available at Midlands Smile Centres. Generally speaking, one of the main reasons that people would opt for this types of treatment would be to achieve straighter teeth.

If you feel that your smile is affected by crooked or misaligned teeth, MSC can help you! Our team of vastly experienced dentists can provide you with the treatment you need to help you achieve the smile that you are looking for.

MSC Orthodontics

Invisalign - Invisalign treatment at MSC make use of invisible aligners that will gradually manoeuvre teeth into the desired position. Inivisalign treatment is an efficient way to alter your smile for the better. However, with their clear look, Invisalign invisible braces are a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to more conventional types of braces. In addition, Invisalign are comfortable to wear and, due to the fact that they can be removed, they are well-suited to eating and are easier to clean than traditional braces.

What's Involved? The clear aligners that are used by Invisalign invisible braces are tailor-made for your teeth, and the creation of these aligners is based on moulds taken of your teeth.

No wires or brackets are needed.

**We can also offer you our ClinCheck® 3D treatment plan which allows you to see beforehand what the results of the treatment will look like.

Six Months Smiles - Six Months Smiles at MSC are an impressive form of orthodontic treatment that can get results quickly. Six Months Smiles are a cosmetic braces system that are tooth-coloured and move your teeth at a gradual pace. The fact that they are tooth-coloured means that they will blend-in with your teeth and will be less conspicuous to the eye. Comfortable to wear, Six Months Smiles are sure to take as little as 6 months to make your teeth straighter.

Damon Braces - This form of orthodontic treatment harnesses innovative technology to create a better smile for you. It uses gentle, biologically-sensible forces to shift teeth quickly into the required position. Little to no discomfort is generally reported by patients when using Damon braces, and the whole process can often be completed without palatal expanders or painful extractions.

What's Involved? Damon Braces use high-tech brackets that have built-in clamps which hold the connecting wire. As is the case with ordinary braces, the brackets are glued to the front of your teeth.

The shape memory wire that we use will return to a predetermined shape, ensuring that the teeth move into the desired position.

After a series of appointments, the process will be complete, taking, on average, six months less to be finished than conventional braces.

Lingual Braces - Similar to traditional braces, Lingual Braces are capable of moving your teeth by utilising light yet consistent pressure. By sitting behind the teeth instead of in front of teeth, Lingual Braces are not noticeable to the eye, so are preferable to those who are self-conscious about having braces.

What's Involved? The initial step in this 18-36 month process is for one of our MSC dentists to verify that Lingual Braces are right for you. If so, the next stage will be for an impression of your teeth to be taken which facilitates the creation of the wires and brackets that are made specifically for your teeth.

Once these bespoke brackets are ready, they will be cemented to the back of your teeth by the dentist. The wire will also be attached so that the right amount of pressure can be exerted.

Your dentist will see you occasionally to ensure that there are no problems and to make any adjustments that are needed. After the process is finished, it is important to brush braces twice a day for two minutes with a soft bristled brush, as well as to floss between your teeth at least once a day and to use a fluoride mouthwash.

Specialist Orthodontics - An effective way to giving a bold and charming enhancement to your smile, under the heading of Specialist Orthodontics you will find treatment options that include invisible implements, fixed implements and removable implements for adults and children.

It may be that the problem with your smile is that fact that you have missing teeth. To combat this problem we, at Midlands Smile Centres can also offer you dental implants.
