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.

Happy Easter, Healthy Teeth


Easter is coming-up and we all know what that inevitably means; chocolate! It’s a time to relax, see the family and indulge. It’s also a time where it’s easy to really let yourself go when it comes to eating your way through that large stack of chocolate eggs. It’s good to enjoy yourself over this period, but whilst doing so, it’s just as important to do what you can to take care of your family’s teeth.

The reason why this is especially important over the Easter period is that chocolate is high in sugar content. The eating of chocolate produces acid in the mouth and can lead to the creation of plaque as well as the possible staining of teeth. And, because it turns into liquid form in your mouth as you eat it, chocolate can bathe your teeth in sugar, giving the sugar more time to stay in contact with your teeth for longer and increasing the risk of damaging your teeth.


To point-out that you should be careful eating too much chocolate and sweet-things during Easter is fairly obvious. It can also be difficult to do this when you just want to enjoy yourself. However, there are some things you can do to make sure you’re doing what you can to boost your dental health while also letting yourself delight in all of that chocolatey goodness.



Plus, if you’re a parent, being aware of these tips might be especially helpful as your little ones might be particularly eager to tuck into their Easter treats. They may potentially get through a lot of chocolate, so using this time to guide them on the correct methods to look after their teeth is especially important.

Brushing: Brushing teeth is probably something most of us do on a regular basis- a minimum of two times a day, preferably. If you’re eating an unusually large quantity of sugary treats though such as chocolate eggs, you might want to think about brushing a little more regularly, such as after every meal. On the subject of brushing it’s a good idea to use an electric toothbrush if you don’t use one already. Electric toothbrushes offer a more thorough, consistent standard of cleaning that the human hand with a manual brush in its palm can’t quite provide. They can get to those hard to reach places inside your mouth as well.


Sugar Free Gum: Chewing sugar free gum is a great little tip for better dental health as it increases the production of saliva in your mouth, helping your teeth stay protected from the acids present in your mouth after you have eaten. This is useful for those times when you simply can’t get to your toothbrush. Sugar free gum comes in conveniently sized little packets that you can slip into your pocket, making them easy to keep with you no matter where you go. They also make good treats for your kids.


Mouthwash: It is generally recommended that using mouthwash should be part of everybody’s daily dental routine. And given that it is likely your teeth are going to be put to the test a little more than normal due to eating chocolate over Easter, it’s advisable that you use your mouthwash. Talk to your dentist about the best kinds of mouthwash available to you.


Flossing: Flossing is perhaps one of those everyday dental tips that is easily disregarded. Perhaps because it is relatively time-consuming and takes perhaps more effort to do properly than brushing your teeth. However, regularly flossing your teeth is great for removing any trapped food or detritus in-between your teeth. It’s not difficult to let flossing fall by the wayside, but over the Easter period it’s even more important that you do it. Use floss sticks or regular floss and keep your teeth at their best.


Water: Drinking water is another simple way to defend your teeth from the effects of consuming excessive amounts of chocolate and sugary treats. When you get yourself a glass of water, instead of just sipping it as you normally would, you should try to swill your mouth with it to dislodge any pieces of food stuck to your teeth and to neutralise the harmful elements contained within what you have just eaten. For your children, make sure they drink a glass of water after their chocolate treats to help reduce the chance of dental problems.


Other Foods: There are certain types of food such as cheese, fish and vegetables that are beneficial for your teeth. This is maybe something else to think about after you have munched a load of chocolate and are concerned about the effect that this may have had on your teeth. It might even be prudent to swap some chocolate for other treats, such as small cheese bites.

10 Dental Services for a Perfect Smile

The desire for perfection is one that many people share around the world. For different people, this can mean the ‘perfect body’, the ‘perfect style’ and even the ‘perfect smile’. This ‘perfect’ look is specific to each person and does not mean there is one idea of perfection.

Getting the smile, you’ve always wanted can be a hard task to achieve and will often require the help of a professional. This doesn’t mean however that it is an impossible task, in fact it’s quite the opposite. With the correct guidance and help the smile you’ve been after could be only a matter of time away.

To help you on your way and to open your eyes to what’s out there, here are 10 services that are available to you at your Local MSC.

Veneers

Veneers are a great way of correcting and hiding an imperfection in your teeth. The treatment involves a small porcelain veneer being placed over the required area. Then this is shaped to give the desired look. To ensure that this offers the patient exactly what they are looking for, the veneer is also coloured to match the ordinary teeth in your jaw to give a more natural look. A veneer can be used to hide gaps in the teeth or as a way to hide small chips in the tooth that may be visible.



For many people, a filling is something that they have had or at some point in the future will experience. What some people don’t know however, is that white fillings provide a more aesthetically pleasing look, as well as helping to look after and protect your teeth from further damage or decay. This, for many, is an approach which offers discreet yet effective results for both dental health and dental appearance.



Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry covers a much wider bracket in the dentistry field. People generally consider this as a form of treatment for the elderly generation, however, with many people performing detrimental activities such as smoking, drinking alcohol or consuming an abundance of sugar, this has become a much more likely form of treatment for all ages. Restorative dentistry includes; bridges, crowns and dentures, as well as a whole host of others. These treatments are able to fill gaps in your teeth, returning your full smile.


Airflow is a very popular form of teeth whitening, which has been used by dentists for years as an effective way to not only whiten, but also clean teeth. The process of airflow involves pressurised water, sodium and air being shot towards your teeth in order to lift off stains. Imagine it’s a car jet wash but scaled down for your teeth. It is a painless process which often produces great results, helping to remove plaque and stains from teeth, leaving the patient with a whiter smile. For someone looking to whiten their smile, this could be the ideal service for you.



Gold Services are often a unique form of treatment and not for everyone. As I’m sure you may have already worked out, our gold services include any dental treatment that involves using gold instead of using the generic material for that treatment. This can range from a gold filling all the way to an entire set of gold teeth. This is often popular with the younger generation and has become quite fashionable. There are also some benefits to using gold including its strength and its ability to almost never corrode. This does, however, make it quite expensive.



A dental implant is probably one of the UK’s most common dental treatments. It has been part of dentistry for years and is not only able to fill the gap in your smile but to restore functionality to your jaw and mouth. Midlands Smile Centres are lucky enough to have a team with years of experience in this field and can offer a service, which time and time again, has provided the people of Birmingham with a full, confident smile.

  

The range of orthodontic treatments is vast, and each treatment has a number of pros and cons which ultimately decide which service is best for you. In more recent years the development in Invisalign braces has drastically improved. This means patients can now get the smile they have always desired without the uncomfortable feel and unappealing look that traditional braces may offer. However, there are a few more options that may also work well for you, lingual braces and Six Month Smiles also offer a similar benefit to Invisalign including its ability to be hard to see it with the naked eye.


It’s all well and good having a nice smile but keeping it in tip-top condition can be harder then it may seem. Attending regular dental hygienist appointments will often help to keep your teeth in best possible condition. While at an appointment you can also find out the latest and greatest ways to look after your teeth at home. Dental hygienist appointments are available at all Midlands Smile Centres practices.




Tooth whitening is a very popular and sort after form of cosmetic treatment. It offers a patient a nice white smile. There are several forms of tooth whitening, including Pola whitening and Enlighten whitening. Both forms of whitening involve a take-home kit, which includes a mouth tray and gel. When worn, this helps to remove stains from your teeth, providing a bright, white smile. If you’re interested in having a whiter smile, talk to your dentist to find out the best form of treatment for you.




If you have a large cavity with a healthy surrounding tooth, Midlands Smile Centres can provide Inlays or Onlays. Onlays can replace the cusp of a tooth which helps to sustain the shape of the tooth, while Inlays, which are usually made with tooth-coloured porcelain, are inserted into the hole in the tooth. This can help to provide a more natural looking smile to the recipient.


Midlands Smile Centres offer a huge range of services which could be just what you need in order to find the smile of your dreams. Our highly trained dentists, hygienists and orthodontists offer years of experience and can provide a service which is right for you. The first step is getting in touch, to book a consultation.




Your local MSC could change your smile for the better, so get in touch today and begin your journey to the smile you’ve always desired.

Achieving your Ideal Smile with MSC


The search for your ideal smile can be difficult, but can also be very rewarding. If you are suffering with a dental imperfection, such as crowded, crooked or irregular teeth, there are ways you can correct these problems and start the journey towards a brighter smile. Especially when Midlands Smile Centres are your choice of dentist. Based in a number of easily-accessible surgeries around the city of Birmingham, MSC is a friendly and welcoming dental practice staffed by a team of highly skilled professionals with extensive backgrounds in performing successful dental treatments. Also featuring a Smile Plan to make your treatment that little bit more affordable, MSC can help you achieve the smile you are looking for.

Orthodontics

One key area of dental treatment that can make a huge improvement to your smile, is orthodontics. Orthodontics are an obvious option for dealing with teeth that are crowded, crooked or irregular, and they are well-worth you considering if you want to achieve a brighter smile. 



Orthodontics treatment at MSC are available in four different forms.

The Four Types of MSC Orthodontic Treatment

Traditional Braces: These braces utilise gentle pressure to help manoeuvre teeth into the desired position. Depending on whether the issues with your teeth are deemed to be straightforward or more complex, either a removable or fixed brace will be chosen by the orthodontist.

Damon Braces: These braces are a relatively new and innovative form of orthodontics treatment that makes use of self-ligating brackets and shape memory wires. As a result, Damon braces harness light pressure to shift teeth into the desired position.

Damon Braces can be used to treat complex problems. Also, they are widely felt to be more comfortable than traditional braces.


Invisalign Braces: Invisible to the eye, Invisalign braces consist of clear aligners that are made specifically to fit your teeth. Able to gradually move your teeth into the required position, Invisalign Braces are removable as well, which makes eating and the cleaning of your teeth easier.


Six Months Smiles: Tooth-coloured so that they can blend in seamlessly with your teeth, Six Months Smiles are a discrete form of cosmetic braces that move teeth at a gradual pace. Able to straighten teeth in six months, with the average treatment lasting between 4 and 9 months, Six Months Smiles are comfortable to wear, too.

Veneers

Orthodontics aren't the only route we offer to put right teeth that are affected by certain imperfections/issues, such as crookedness or any irregular teeth.

Here at Midlands Smile Centres we can also provide veneers.


Veneers are thin layers of tooth-coloured material. They are usually made out of porcelain and can be placed over irregularly shaped teeth in order to hide the imperfection. They can also be used to cover teeth that are damaged or discoloured, decayed or misaligned. In many cases, the use of only one or two veneers is all that has been required to make a bold improvement in a patient's smile.

A visit to the Hygienist at MSC is not something that is necessitated by you having problems with your teeth or gums. It is simply a way for your dental health to be assessed and for your teeth to be given a professional clean as well as a chance for your gums to be the given the attention they require.


The professional cleaning that you will receive when visiting the Hygienist at MSC will involve a number of treatment types and will include scaling and polishing. As a result, your teeth should appear whiter. You will benefit from all-round greater dental health and a reduced risk of dental problems.

In addition, the role of the Hygienist is to provide you with advice and guidance pertaining to the best ways in which to achieve the highest standards of oral hygiene at home, as well as tips on avoiding plaque and tooth decay.


Here at MSC, you can expect a caring, friendly service and for the hygienist treatment, you receive to be tailored to your needs.

Here For You

Midlands Smile Centres undoubtedly have the skill, knowledge and experience to help make your ideal smile become a reality. In addition to the above treatment, we are also able to assist you further by providing a variety of other treatments, ranging from Dental Implants and Restorative Dentistry to General Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry.

With costs that can be adapted to a whole range of budgets via the MSC Smile Plan and with a constant commitment to putting the well-being of the patient first, MSC are a sound option for better dental health and achieving the perfect smile.

What are Invisalign Braces?

Invisalign braces have the same functionality of traditional braces, in that they are used to correct imperfections and uneven teeth. Having evenly spaced teeth can help with avoiding problems later in life, and also makes your smile more aesthetically pleasing.



The Benefits of Invisalign Braces

The first and most obvious benefit to Invisalign braces is that they are invisible to the naked eye. This means that whilst you are receiving your treatment, you can continue to feel confident in how your smile looks, comfortably knowing that nobody is aware of your braces. 

A second advantage to the Invisalign service is comfort. Those in the past that have had traditional braces may say that they often encountered pain due to the metal brace cutting the gums and cheek. They can also be very painful after they have been tightened. Invisalign braces doesn't use any wires or brackets, making the experience much more comfortable. 

A third and final benefit is that they can be easily removed for things such as eating and brushing your teeth. This makes them much more convenient during day to day life.


The Treatment Process

The treatment involves making a mould of your teeth which can then be used as a basis to design your transparent aligners. This is completed by the highly-experienced orthodontists at MSC to ensure that they fit as comfortably as possible.

The Invisalign treatment involves a number of these aligners, with each one being different in size and shape. These aligners will be exchanged throughout the treatment period. MSC will accompany this by offering ClinCheck® 3D to enable you to see the transformation of your smile.

The Cost

Treatment for Invisalign starts from £42.50 a month

Our Invisalign open week

For those who are interested in Invisalign braces or would just like to learn more, you may be interested in coming down to our Invisalign open week. From September 5th - 14th, all of our practices will be opening late to offer free Invisalign consultations to patients who are interested in the treatment. During this time period, additional offers will be available such as free tooth whitening if you sign up for treatment. This could save you upward of £255. 


Going Further


Its not just the Invisalign treatment that can help you achieve your ideal smile. MSC offer a range of services that could help you. One of these would be Veneers, these are thin, tooth-coloured plates that are attached to the teeth and can then be shaped to give the patient a more appealing smile.


A second treatment that is available to patients looking to brighten their smile is tooth whitening. This treatment can give you a bright, white set of teeth, and helps to make your smile more confident. There are several different ways this treatment can be completed including home kits and more traditional services such as airflow treatment. 


Finally you may wish to consider white fillings. This is a very popular option due to the fact they offer a much more natural look than normal fillings, whilst still offering the same functionality. 


It is important that you consider each step when thinking about dental treatment. The most important thing is ensuring the treatment is right for you. The ever-growing advance in technology means that for most the embarrassment of a bad smile is no more. All of our treatment including Invisalign is carried out by highly trained dentists that have had years of experience. If you are interested in the Invisalign week or would like to find out more, head to our site and see all our available services or contact us today.

Smile Dentistry

Smile dentistry encompasses a range of cosmetic treatments designed to improve the look of your smile. These may be as simple as removing staining, whitening fillings or hiding damaged teeth. There isn't a compelling health reason for undergoing these procedures; having them done is dependent solely on how you feel about your teeth and how they look.




What Problems Can Cosmetic Dentistry Solve:


1. Stained or Yellow Teeth


Stained or yellow teeth can be a result of several dietary or other habits. Drinking coffee, wine or eating strongly coloured foods such as curry spices and berries, or acidic foods such as oranges can contribute to staining of the teeth. Smoking is also a common reason why teeth become yellow or stained. This staining effect is exacerbated if the natural enamel on your teeth is already weak.

You may feel that your teeth are yellow or stained, and this may cause you distress. You may feel less confident about smiling or showing your teeth in the manner that you wish you could.

Tooth Whitening treatment is a form of Smile Dentistry that can help with stained teeth. At MSC we provide tooth whitening in the form of a tooth whitening kit. Firstly, your suitability for this treatment will be ascertained by one of our dentists. Then trays made specifically for your teeth and jaw will be created. After that you will wear the trays filled with whitening gel for a few hours every day until you are satisfied with the colour of your teeth. 






2. Dull Grey or Dark fillings



Traditionally patients were given fillings by dentists that were composed of a metallic-looking material. These metallic-looking fillings were grey in colour and not especially appealing to the eye. They can cause a person to look older, or less healthy. This less-than-attractive appearance can make those who have these fillings feel self-conscious about laughing or smiling. They may even feel that their fillings are a hindrance to them achieving the perfect smile.

White Fillings are a form of Smile Dentistry that offer a cosmetic alternative to more old-fashioned grey fillings. White fillings offer a more natural, attractive appearance than traditional fillings, and they are also just as strong as grey fillings. At MSC, our highly experienced dentists will be happy to replace any grey fillings you may have for new, natural looking, white fillings.




3. Discoloured Teeth


Some people may have certain teeth that are not the colour they are supposed to be. When individual teeth are discoloured they stand-out from the rest of the teeth in a person's mouth. This can lead to feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness for the person affected, bringing about a desire to hide their smile from others. 

The problem of discoloured teeth involves dealing with individual teeth instead of a whole set of teeth. Therefore, in this case, tooth whitening treatment is not the solution. 

In this case, we would recommend Veneers. Veneers are thin layers of material. They are usually made out of porcelain and are placed over the discoloured tooth to hide its imperfection. The difference a veneer can make is a very profound one, and often surprising. It is sure to elevate the standard of your smile.


4. Damaged Teeth


Teeth can become damaged in all sorts of different ways. Sometimes, the damage is as minimal as chipping. However, for those who have suffered this dental damage, the imperfection may be discomforting, damaging their smile and their self-confidence.

Again, veneers are what we would recommend here. With that thin layer of porcelain to cover the tooth, the flaw will be hidden from view and you can relax knowing that your smile looks just as it should. With the use of Veneers, the cosmetic improvement to your smile can be easily achieved.


5. Missing teeth 



This is a frequent occurrence in Britain and it is common for our dentists to see this on a daily basis. A missing tooth commonly causes a reduction of self confidence in a person, damaging their overall self esteem. A Dental Implant is a fantastic way to regain your smile and confidence. This treatment ensures a more pleasing and natural look to your smile.  


The Smile That You Want


Achieving the smile that you want, unquestionably depends on taking care of your teeth well. However, there are times when a little outside help or adjustment can also be appropriate and you may choose to have cosmetic or smile dentistry treatment. Whatever you are hoping to achieve with your smile, Midland Smile Centres' team of expertly skilled dentists will listen to you, assist you and help you reach the results you are looking for.
