Choosing to go with MSC and make use of the vast expertise we have in providing treatments to alter your appearance can leave you with a better sense of well-being, and a greater level of confidence.

Facial Aesthetics For You at MSC

There are a range of treatments that can help give a boost to your facial aesthetics. Here are just a few of the options we have available at MSC, but you can find out more on our facial treatments page.

Dermal Fillers - Usually used around the nose and mouth areas, Dermal Fillers give wrinkles in the skin a little lift. Injected underneath the skin to allow them to take the appropriate effect, Dermal Fillers help create a more youthful appearance and will last between 6 months and a year.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections - Able to be used on the neck as well as the face, Anti-Wrinkle Injections take effect by relaxing the muscles in the targeted area. Also referred to as Botox, Anti-Wrinkle Injections work to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and lines, helping to create a look that will require an appointment every 3-6 months to maintain.

Cheek Volumizing/Sculpting - A further treatment for facial rejuvenation, Cheek Volumizing/Sculpting is designed to help give you a more youthful appearance. This treatment targets the cheeks as the cheeks are a part of the face that can begin to sag with age, leading to wrinkles and lines forming in the nose and mouth area. Capable of producing noticeable and wide-reaching cosmetic benefits, Cheek Volumizing/Sculpting at MSC is also a procedure that is very convenient, meaning that you can walk-in and walk-out and enjoy the effects that a single Cheek Volumizing/Sculpting appointment can bring you.

Lip Fillers - Boosting the lips by imbuing them with a bold, plump shape, Lip Fillers are delivered via injection to introduce new volume to both the upper and lower lips. Able to last for between 4 and 6 months, Lip Fillers can be carried-out again in order to renew the shape of the lips.

Non-Surgical Nasal Tip Lifting - A way of changing the appearance of your nose without the use of surgery, Non-Surgical Nasal Tip Lifting is a relatively new type of treatment and is provided by us, here at MSC. Non-Surgical Nasal Tip Lifting can be effective in removing bumps in the nose and for a period of between 4 months and two years (dependent on which treatment you choose), the treatment will help improve your appearance. Although the agent will dissolve after this period of time has elapsed, you can undergo the treatment again to renew the results.   

Teeth Grinding Therapy - The condition that causes individuals to grind their teeth is known as bruxism and it exists in two forms: sleep bruxism and awake bruxism. Related to stress and anxiety, bruxism can be combatted by the treatment we offer at Midland Smile Centres. By opting for this treatment, you can take steps to preserve your smile.

Gum Reduction - Another way to boost the appearance of your smile, Gum Reduction involves the altering of your gumline for cosmetic purposes. At MSC we can give you Gum Reduction treatment to mould and shape your gums for a reasonable price. What’s more, our MSC Gum Reduction treatment is permanent.

Why You Should Get Regular Dental Check-Ups

When was the last time you had a regular dental appointment? Following the given advice of having a check-up every six months has a lot of benefits for your pearly whites. A regular check-up will normally include;

1.      An examination over your oral hygiene and overall health of your gum and teeth.

2.      Spotting any problems with your teeth such as cavities or gum disease and obtaining relevant and successful treatment.

3.      Checking on the condition of your gums.

4.      Removing build-up of plaque and tartar on your teeth.

5.      Receiving professional dental advice on your brushing and flossing techniques.

6.      Time to ask any questions you may have relating to the effects of diet, alcohol and smoking on your teeth.

7.      Reporting any dental problems you may have had since your last appointment.

What if there is a problem with my teeth?

Nobody wants to endure things like toothache, nerve pain, build-up of plaque or bad breath.  Midlands Smile Centres offer several dental treatments to alleviate problems like these found during a routine check-up. These include:

1       Fillings – these are used by dentists to remedy decaying teeth. There are three different types of filling; composite/white fillings, metal fillings and dental restorations.

2       Orthodontic Treatment – this involves a brace being fitted to correct crooked teeth or the bite of the patient.  The different types of braces used include Damon braces, Invisalign braces and Six Month Smiles.

3       Hygienist Treatment - this is a scale and polish treatment for your teeth. This type of treatment helps to minimise tooth decay, gum disease and tooth wear.

4       Oral Surgery (extractions) – an example of this is the removal of wisdom teeth that may cause discomfort or to address overcrowding if there are too many teeth.

Ignoring a problem with our teeth is likely to lead to further problems if left untreated.  Be sure to book an appointment with your dentist for regular dental check-ups to keep your teeth and oral hygiene in good condition. You can book a dental check-up at your local dentist in Birmingham online.

Top tips for improving your dental health

The Do’s:

1.      Brush your teeth on a regular basis. The advice given for daily bushing is twice a day however, brushing in between meals would give your teeth an extra boost of protection and will lead to better oral hygiene.

2.      Use an electric toothbrush. Whilst brushing with a regular toothbrush using the correct technique can keep your teeth clean, using an electric toothbrush gives a more effective clean. The smaller brush head gets into the harder to reach back teeth to keep them healthy and in good condition.

3.      Brush your tongue. Doing this this reaps many benefits such as improving your oral hygiene, which is the result of the amount of bacteria inside your mouth. It can also make your breath smell minty fresh and feel cleaner.

4.      Have necessary treatments advised by your dentist. This is key to keeping your teeth happy and healthy.

5.      Eat foods that are beneficial to keep your teeth strong. Products that are high in calcium are particularly beneficial, such as cheese and yoghurt. Some fruits, such as strawberries, can also be beneficial for your dental health.

6.      Chew sugar free gum. Chewing sugar free gum helps your oral health by encouraging production of saliva in your mouth, which then neutralises the acidity on your teeth which would otherwise cause problems such as cavities and bad breath.

7.      Use dental products such as floss and mouthwash. Including these in your daily oral hygiene routine will minimise dental problems developing. Flossing is an extremely useful technique because it removes food from places in your mouth that regular brushing can’t, and it can also help to remove plaque.  Mouthwash is another dental product you can use to rinse out trapped food, which also helps to eliminate bad breath and the build-up of tartar.

Orthodontics at Your Local MSC dentist in Birmingham

Orthodontics play a large part of the dental industry today. It isn’t uncommon for a person to know several people in their lifetime who have or have had braces. Orthodontic treatment has become much more popular with young adults who are looking to aesthetically improve their smile. The decision however to have braces can be a difficult one to make due to the lengthy treatment plan and the unappealing visuals of traditional braces. What many of these patients are not aware of, is that there are now several different options on the market that could help to address your concerns and give you the smile you’ve been looking for.

Here are just a few of Midlands Smile Centres treatments that are used to address crowded and misaligned teeth to give you an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are very well known and are respected as the most common orthodontic treatment for correcting teeth. These are made of metal and are glued to the teeth, where a wire is then put in place to apply pressure to the teeth. This pressure is then used to pull and push the teeth into place, adjusting your smile to provide straighter teeth and correcting your bite. While this is an effective way of helping to address orthodontic issues, there are some things the patient should consider. Traditional braces can be uncomfortable when first placed, sometimes causing bleeding and irritation of the gums and cheeks or causing an aching sensation due to the pressure on your teeth. It’s important that you contact your dentist if you experience these symptoms for a prolonged amount of time.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces adjust your teeth to provide a straighter smile and correct bite, without getting in the way of your smile. This treatment involves a brace being applied to the rear of the teeth where it is less visible. However, lingual braces are commonly only used for specific cases where the patient requires a lifting of the teeth. If you think this could be for you, you can find out more by booking a consultation with your local dentist in Birmingham. Another consideration of this treatment is that it can cause a sore tongue, due to the braces position on the inside of the mouth.

Damon Braces

Damon braces are your middle ground of the previous two orthodontic solutions. Like traditional braces, they have a similar aesthetic look due to both treatments using a metal material for the brace. Where this treatment differs however, is its ability to complete the treatment much more comfortably. This is due to the fact that this treatment uses a wire which is able to remember it previous shape, and consequently maintains a more gentle pressure that is consistently applied to the teeth and gums, while traditional braces have to be adjusted at each appointment with a great deal more pressure. Alongside this, patients who receive Damon braces often complete their treatment much sooner, in some cases this can be as much as six months.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a relatively new form of orthodontic treatment that has begun to make waves in the dental world for its effective and easy treatment. This service works much like a traditional brace but tackles two of its major concerns. Like traditional braces, Six Month Smiles braces are applied to the front of your teeth, but these are made from a clear plastic material. The same can be said for the wire which is usually clear or coloured to match the colour of your teeth. This not only helps to provide a more aesthetic look during the treatment phase but also allows the wearer to avoid discomfort during the treatment, of which is usually between 4 to 8 months long. If you’re interested in receiving straighter teeth in less time than traditional orthodontic treatment, you can book a consultation with your dentist to find out if this treatment is for you.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a new and innovative form of orthodontic treatment available at Midlands Smile Centres. Invisalign works by applying several plastic transparent retainers, which over several months will adjust the positioning of your teeth. Each retainer will be slightly different and will apply gentle pressure to move your teeth into position. Not only this, but they are also nearly invisible to the eye, meaning you can still enjoy smiling without worrying about the look of traditional braces. If you’re looking for a service which can provide you a comfortable and natural looking way to change your smile, Invisalign could be ideal for you. Book a consultation today to find out more.

Midlands Smile Centres

Midlands Smile Centre is your local dental practice that can offer you all of these orthodontic treatments. Our team of orthodontic specialists have over 30 years of experience working with some of the toughest orthodontic cases. Our aim is to provide you with the treatment and service which will give you a smile you can be proud of.

If you’d like a straighter smile, or just want to find out more, book an orthodontic appointment at your local MSC today.

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.

We also offer an MSC Smile Plan which can make paying for the treatment that you have chosen more adaptable to your budget.                    

                      

Enhancing Your Smile

It’s not unusual to notice imperfections in your smile and want them to be improved in some way. With wedding season slowly creeping-up, being more concerned about your appearance is only natural.  

If you decide to go ahead now with an MSC cosmetic treatment, you could be making a crucial adjustment to the appearance of your teeth, elevating the overall charm of your smile. If there is a small blemish or imperfection with your smile, we can help remove that so you can enjoy a bright, confident smile. Whatever the full-extent of the impact of this treatment may be, there’s no denying that enhancing your smile can make you feel as though you look your absolute best on the day, and should get rid of any worries you have may have about not looking as good as you can. You will be left feeling confident and happy, and ready to make the most of the special occasion.

What Difference Can MSC Cosmetic Treatments Make?

Some people look at their smile and can’t help but notice that one or two of their teeth aren’t quite right. It may be that these teeth are crooked, misshapen or even discoloured. These small imperfections can make a massive impact on the way a person’s smile looks, and they can easily undermine that person’s confidence.

Veneers can help alleviate this problem.

Part of MSC’s cosmetic treatment range, veneers are thin layers of material-usually porcelain- that can be applied to the individual teeth that have imperfections. The thin layers of material are placed over the relevant teeth, enabling them to blend-in with your surrounding teeth. Veneers are a relatively straightforward way to correct imperfections, and with just one or two veneers, the positive impact made to your teeth can be immense.  

The problem with your teeth might be that they just have a general lack of that healthy white shade that teeth are supposed to have. This is not uncommon, as staining of teeth can be caused through a number of things that many of us come into contact with on a daily basis, such as tea, coffee, smoking, drinking red wine and eating certain foods like curry, berries, grapes and certain sauces.

The solution is easy: Enlighten Tooth Whitening and Pola Whitening.

Enlighten Tooth Whitening at MSC revolves around the use of bespoke, close fitting trays made especially for your teeth which are then taken home. These trays are to be filled with a whitening gel that is given to the patient who will wear the trays on their teeth overnight for a period of two weeks, culminating in a final treatment with our dentist. Pola Whitening treatment is based on the use of a whitening gel that removes the staining on your teeth. Pola Whitening not only helps to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth but is able to get results quickly.

It may be that what your teeth really need is a thorough professional clean to brighten them up.

Booking a hygienist treatment with airflow can do just that.

MSC airflow treatment is a pressurised blast of water, air and sodium bicarbonate that’s an excellent method of cleaning teeth, able to reach up to 5mm into periodontal pockets in your mouth. It is similar to a scale and polish but is actually more effective. Capable of removing stains, plaque and giving your teeth the polish that they need, airflow treatment at MSC is irritation-free and ideal for giving your smile a pleasant aesthetic lift.          

Further Treatment?

We also offer facial aesthetics at MSC. If facial aesthetic treatment is something that you are interested in, please visit MSC’s website to find-out more.

Keeping Up That Smile!

The more extensive and sophisticated forms of dental treatment that are available such as dental implants will probably seem obvious to you if they are required. And they will be quite necessary, too, as they will improve the overall standard of your dental health. However, there are other types of treatment that can be opted for which bring you benefits to your teeth that are perhaps not as crucial but still highly important. The kind of benefits we’re referring to here are those ones that don’t necessarily have a large and immediately practical impact on the effectiveness of your teeth, but that elevate the general health and visual charm of your teeth.

In addition, these enhancements will contribute to better dental health even though the scale of the work done may seem relatively minor. To give yourself the best chance of ensuring that the effect of these changes last, it is recommended that you take daily steps towards maintaining the health and standard of your teeth. Making sure that you keep-up an efficient regular dental hygiene routine is always a good idea anyway, so read-on now to discover more about how you can treat your teeth with care and keep your smile looking great.

MSC Hygienist Treatment

When it comes to improving the all-round health of your teeth, our hygienist treatment is hard-to-fault. Here at MSC, the hygienist treatment we offer provides you with a professional clean. Having a professional clean from one of the highly-skilled members of the Midlands Smile Centres team means your teeth and gums will have help in staying free from potential dental problems such as tooth wear, tooth decay and gum disease. Though many of us try to keep our teeth as clean as possible by brushing on a day-to-day basis and by using mouthwash, it is still possible to not quite achieve a completely thorough clean. Due to this, a visit to the hygienist can be really useful. 

         

MSC hygienist treatment involves the implementation of a process that is commonly termed a ‘scale and polish’. Our dental hygienists will provide this process as well as employing a number of treatments in order to improve your oral health.  They will work to help your teeth and gums stay protected and can actually make your teeth look whiter.

Additionally, the MSC hygienist advises patients as to the best methods of guarding the teeth against plaque and decay as well as informing them about suitable approaches to diet. 

Our hygienists are committed to providing you with a patient-centred service that meets your needs whilst also ensuring that you, as our patient are treated in the respectful manner that you would expect.

Further Dental Care

Keeping your teeth at their best does not depend solely on the work of an MSC hygienist, however. There are various ways in which you can take care of your teeth in your home in addition to the brushing that you should aim to do regularly. There are ways to enhance your brushing routine indicated here as well.

Doing what you can to keep-up your levels of dental hygiene will contribute to your teeth staying at the same clean and white standard that they will be in following your visit to the dental hygienist at MSC.

These daily dental hygiene methods include flossing, using the right toothpaste and the use of mouthwash.

       

Flossing: Research the kinds of floss available and you will discover waxed, unwaxed and mint floss, and even small floss sticks that are very easy to use. The act of flossing on the whole is something that is very much recommended as it enables you to remove particles of food trapped between the teeth that can gradually cause you problems if allowed to remain stuck there.

  

The Right Toothpaste: In general, you will find toothpaste in one of five different types- teeth whitening toothpaste, sensitive teeth toothpaste, smoker’s toothpaste, herbal toothpaste and children’s toothpaste. Take some time to look into what is best for you and make it a part of your dental hygiene routine. Just ensure that your toothpaste contains fluoride, for maximum cleaning effect.

Mouthwash: There are generally three kinds of mouthwash-  fluoride rinse mouthwash, alcohol mouthwash and alcohol-free mouthwash. There are also different brands of mouthwash with each brand offering a variety of mouthwash types that boast disparate features such as teeth whitening and fresher breath. Mouthwash is a sensible part of your daily dental routine due to the fact that it lessens the risk of tooth decay and helps to dislodge any remaining food pieces stuck between the teeth.              

Midlands Smile Centres

Midlands Smile Centres boast numerous practices around the city of Birmingham and are staffed by a team of exceptionally skilled and highly experienced dentists. Always ensuring that the patient’s needs are put first, MSC offer a selection of treatments such as orthodontics, dental implants, tooth whitening and even facial aesthetics, all at reasonable prices.

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.

White Fillings

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

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

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.

Dental Implants

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.

  

Orthodontics

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.

Hygienist Treatment

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

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.

Inlays

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

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.
