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.

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.


Single Dental Implants - Versatile and comfortable, Single Dental Implants are an option for those with missing teeth that is definitely worth considering. Single Dental Implants are made-up of a titanium supporting rod that is inserted into the jawbone and a natural-looking false tooth that remains visible on top.


Denture Implants - An improvement on regular dentures, Denture Implants provide a level of function that is more similar to that of natural teeth than the function provided by regular dentures. This form of treatment makes use of implants that are fixed into the jawbone. They are secure and prevent the jawbone from receding as much as expected.


Implant Supported Bridges - Using implants for support instead of healthy teeth in the manner that traditional dental bridges would, Implant-Supported Bridges will not have a damaging effect on your surrounding teeth. Plus, Implant-Supported Bridges are longer-lasting than traditional bridges.


Gold Implants - Gold Implants at Midlands Smile Centres work in a way that is not too dissimilar to ordinary implants but are also capable of adding a bold, visual touch to your smile.

Better Smiles at MSC

Are you unsatisfied with the way your teeth look? MSC can assist you!

Here at Midlands Smile Centres, we can provide a range of cosmetic treatments that will help you achieve the kind of smile that you are looking for.

For some of us, the staining of our teeth can be a big problem. Staining is caused by damage to the teeth's enamel and the consumption of food and drink that has a staining effect on teeth. Damage to the enamel is a result of poor dental hygiene, age, certain types of medication, accidents and acidic/sugary foods. The kinds of food and drink that cause staining on the teeth include tomatoes, blueberries, wine, tea and coffee. Tobacco will stain your teeth, too. At MSC, we can offer you treatment to help your teeth look whiter, making your smile a brighter one.


The Enlighten Tooth Whitening system which we provide at MSC is a popular and successful method to improve the whiteness of teeth. The process for using Enlighten Tooth Whitening begins with close fitting trays being made specifically for your teeth. These high-standard trays are provided to you along with a whitening gel. The trays are intended to be filled with a whitening gel and then worn by the patient every night for two weeks. After this, the patient will visit the dentist to receive the final treatment.

Our Enlighten Tooth Whitening system is completely safe, and to combat any sensitivity, you will be given some swabs to use. Also to strengthen and protect the teeth, a special tooth serum will be provided to you for you to brush with.

The impressive results that our Enlighten Tooth Whitening can create can be maintained. To ensure you heighten the chance of the whiteness on your teeth lasting for as long as possible, the trays can be worn once every two months, and to add further protection, you can continue to brush your teeth with the special tooth serum.

For some people, the issue they have with their smile is that some of their teeth have an irregular shape. Whether teeth are damaged, decayed, misaligned or even discoloured, the veneers that are on offer here at Midlands Smile Centres can make a bold difference to your smile. Veneers are thin layers that have the colour of natural teeth. They are usually made of porcelain and are placed over the relevant teeth. In most cases, as few as only one or two veneers are required to make a clear improvement to a person's smile.


We use airflow at MSC to give your teeth a thorough clean. It is an efficient way to polish your teeth and remove staining.

Airflow treatment at MSC makes use of a jet of air, water and sodium bicarbonate that is directed at the patient's teeth through a nozzle. Effective in reducing plaque build-up and cleaning between teeth, airflow is also quicker and more comfortable than alternative forms of stain and plaque removal. Suitable for those with sensitive teeth and actually able to lessen teeth sensitivity as well as capable of reaching up to 5mm into periodontal pockets, our airflow treatment is a sure way to make teeth look cleaner and brighter.

Providing a patient with the kind of function that they would expect from ordinary fillings, white fillings at Midlands Smile Centres are a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to grey amalgam fillings. More natural in their appearance, white fillings at MSC will not be noticeable in a person's mouth when they laugh or smile in the way that they would be with traditional grey or silver fillings.


Making use of a gold alloy that consists of gold blended with other materials and ideal for a striking visual lift to your smile, at MSC we are able to provide gold services that include: Gold Implants, Gold Crowns/Custom Crown Design, Gold Inlays, Gold Veneers.
These consist of a titanium implant and a gold tooth. The implant is inserted into the jawbone while the gold tooth is attached to the implant. Gold Implants at MSC do not place pressure on your surrounding teeth and will give you the same level of function as ordinary implants but add an extra cosmetic boost to your smile.

Perfect for replacing any crowns you currently have that are worn or stained, Gold Crowns at MSC bring a touch of glamour to your teeth. By opting for Gold Crowns with us you can restore the teeth in your mouth. The impact that crowns have on teeth is one that helps teeth affected by decay, loss of tooth surface as well as teeth at risk of disintegration. Also able to supply your teeth with extra protection, MSC Gold Crowns are durable, and because little preparation of the tooth is required, a larger proportion of the structure of your tooth will be maintained.

Useful for filling a large cavity when the tooth around the cavity is still healthy, Gold Inlays (or Inserts) are a choice for your teeth that are both functional and stylish.

Bringing an added sense of style to your smile, Gold Veneers come in thin layers and are placed over teeth that are misshapen, misaligned, damaged or discoloured. With just a couple of veneers in your mouth, the appearance of your teeth can change emphatically.

Invisalign and Implants Working Together

It is easy to get used to the way your teeth look, even if you don’t feel satisfied by their appearance, however, cosmetic dentistry is a great alternative to other surgical procedures, and often less invasive. Would you like to straighten your teeth but have gaps or dental implants? Is it time to address those niggles with your teeth you have been putting off dealing with? You may have thought that gaps from missing teeth were too large to be addressed by orthodontic treatment. This is where dental implants can help you achieve the smile you desire. You may also have thought having dental implants means that you can’t have orthodontic treatment. The good news is Invisalign can move the teeth surrounding your implants to improve your smile.

Midlands Smile Centres can help you smile again. Discover how MSC's Invisalign treatments can make problems with your smile a thing of the past.


What is Invisalign?

Invisalign braces are an invisible alternative to the traditional braces that you are probably more familiar with. By harnessing innovative forms of technology, MSC's Invisalign invisible braces make use of transparent aligners that are made to specifically fit your teeth. They are comfortable to wear and, most importantly, they are effective: MSC's Invisalign braces will shift your teeth at a gradual pace, manoeuvring them into the desired position.


What's Good About Invisalign?

One huge advantage to opting for MSC Invisalign braces instead of other more traditional types of orthodontic treatment is that they are clear. By being transparent, Invisalign braces are very discreet looking, and a definite improvement in cosmetic terms on the less-than-attractive braces of the past.

Crucially, they are also an effective choice for straightening your teeth and ensuring that teeth are moved into the position that they need to be in.

Another advantage is that Invisalign braces are comfortable to wear, too.

Also, due to these invisible braces being removable, they are relatively easy when it comes to eating, and when it's time to clean them.


How Does It Work?

To begin with, an MSC orthodontist will take a mould of your teeth. Doing this allows us to create the most comfortable fitting for your teeth. From here, the bespoke see-through aligners will be made for you.

As an added part of the process, Midlands Smile Centres can offer you the ClinCheck® 3D treatment plan, which makes it possible for our patients to see beforehand what difference the treatment will make once it is finished.


How Much Will It Cost?

The cost of MSC Invisalign treatment starts from £45.83* per month. To learn more about Invisalign treatment at MSC, why not get in touch with our orthodontic therapist today?


Implants

Something else regarding your teeth that may require your attention is missing teeth. This is where implants come in. We at MSC can provide you with these types of Dental Implants: Single Dental Implants, Implanted Dentures, Gold Implants, and Implanted Bridges.

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

Natural in their appearance, Single Dental Implants are also comfortable and widely believed to be one of the most versatile forms of treatment out there in response to missing teeth.


Implanted Dentures: An effective alternative to regular dentures, Implanted Dentures are attached to the jawbone. Achieved through the creation of a mould of your mouth, and through the use of titanium screws or cylinders which are inserted into the jawbone, they additionally offer greater stability than regular dentures. Implanted Dentures also feel look and function in a similar manner to that of natural teeth.

Gold Implants: Consisting of an implant and a gold tooth which is made with a gold alloy that blends zinc, platinum, palladium, copper and silver, MSC gold implants are attached to the jawbone. They provide the same level of function as standard implants and are a bold and emphatic stylistic choice for your teeth.


The combination of materials in the alloy give the crown the strength that is needed, and this means they are suitable for use on the back teeth (molars) which is where the majority of food you eat is chewed.

Implanted Bridges: Similar to traditional bridges, Implanted Bridges are false teeth that take the place of missing teeth in the gum of the patient, but in contrast to traditional bridges, the false teeth are supported by implants and not by surrounding healthy teeth.
Due to these implant supported bridges making use of implants, there is no damage caused to the surrounding teeth-unlike ordinary bridges. Also in comparison to ordinary bridges, implant-supported bridges are more durable.


Something To Think About

So maybe now is the time for you to look into getting the treatment that you perhaps know you have been needing for a while. Whether it's straighter teeth or replacing missing teeth, MSC are here to help. We boast a number of very skilled, highly experienced dentists who are able to make sure that your dental implants or Invisalign treatment gives you the results you are seeking.

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.

Emergency Dentistry at MSC

Do You Need Help Urgently?
If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort related to your teeth or gums that has not been relieved by the use of painkillers, you should contact us on our emergency treatment number.

**You can contact us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year**

The sooner you see a dentist the better the chances will be of us treating you successfully. In some cases, an infection resulting from a failure to receive prompt medical attention in a dental emergency can potentially lead to the infection spreading to the neck and head and creating other serious health issues.

Please Remember:
**You Do Not Need To Be An MSC Patient To Receive MSC Emergency Dental Treatment**

You should be able to access emergency dental treatment at an MSC practice that is closest to you. If this is not possible, MSC emergency dentists should be able to help you at our Kings Heath and Selly Oak Midlands Smile Centres.

Examples of Dental Emergencies

- Toothache: If this lasts for more than 30 minutes after taking pain relief and cleaning and flossing between the teeth.

- Broken Tooth/Broken Filling: If left untreated, this can cause further tooth and filling damage as well as tooth loss.

Lump On Gum Line Next To Tooths Root: This could be an abscess. Failure to access treatment for this will cause tooth loss.

Broken Crown: Left untreated a broken crown can lead to untreatable decay in the root of the tooth as well as abscesses and eventual tooth loss.

Knocked Out Tooth: A knocked-out tooth can be re-inserted. Place the knocked-out tooth inside a sealed container that is filled with milk and bring it to us when you access treatment. Do not clean the tooth; this reduces the chance of the tooth being successfully reinserted.

- Lost Tooth: It is important that a dentist gives their attention to the wound that is left in your gum. Any infection that is allowed to develop in your gum can lead to abscesses and other problems. If you are planning to have a Dental Implant, it is definitely worth being aware of this information.

- Loose/Partially Dislodged Tooth: This tooth may be able to be reinserted into its original location. It is important that you avoid touching the tooth unless you are preventing it from falling out. Aim to support the tooth instead of exerting pressure to keep it in place.


Dental Injuries: Other Issues To Be Aware Of

In regards to dental emergencies, there are some other things to be mindful of, as they may create problems for your teeth and/or gums. 

- Be aware of any kind of cuts or bleeding in your gums.

-Be careful with hard food. Biting into hard food can damage your teeth. Examples of these hard foods include corn-on-the-cob, ice cubes and hard candy. You could maybe consider eating a greater amount of soft foods instead, such as mashed potatoes, yoghurt and soup.

-Take care when playing contact sports as these activities carry a risk of causing damage to your teeth. To help keep your teeth free from damage during the playing of contact sports, you could wear a mouth guard.

-Be sure to take appropriate action if you notice any infections in or injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the cheek lining, gums and tongue, as this type of injury could necessitate emergency treatment.

-Be aware of any foreign bodies becoming trapped beneath the gum line. Use a toothpick or dental floss to carefully remove this foreign body; if this cannot be achieved easily, seek help from the dentist to minimise the risk of damage or infection.

-Any issues stemming from hardware implemented in relation to the orthodontic treatment you have undergone may also necessitate emergency attention from a dentist. 


Costs

The MSC price for receiving emergency treatment is: £32.95- Normal Price.

However, we at Midlands Smile Centres also offer the Smile Plan. The Smile Plan will cost you just £9.90 per month. The Smile Plan makes a multitude of different types of treatment more affordable for you. Please visit the MSC website to learn more about the Smile Plan.

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.

Am I Too Old for Braces?

The short answer to the question of, ‘am I too old for braces?’ is simply, no! At MSC, age is never an issue and it’s never too late to get ...
