In this blog, we’re exploring some of the most popular treatments that will get you smiling with confidence, starting with…

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an effective way to lighten the natural colour of your teeth, without causing damage to the teeth or the surrounding gums. Teeth whitening can be completed either in the surgery or at home. Teeth whitening is currently the number one cosmetic dental procedure worldwide and can be combined with other treatments to provide maximum benefit.

Benefits of teeth whitening:

Teeth whitening can help to dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, for a relatively small cost. Having a beautiful smile is achievable for anyone.

Teeth whitening can help you make a great first impression. We all make decisions based on first impression and having the confidence to smile naturally can really help to improve your likeability factor

Teeth whitening helps to make you look more youthful. A bright, white smile is associated with youth so teeth whitening can help you to look years younger.

Teeth Straightening

Here at Benfleet Dental Centre, we have a wide range of teeth straightening procedures available, so will always be able to find one to meet your needs and your budget. Teeth straightening has increased in popularity over the last few years, with more and more adults considering improving their smile through teeth straightening treatments.

There are now more options than ever before, including nearly invisible and removable options. This can help to streamline the treatment plan and ensure that it doesn’t get in the way of your life.

With treatments like Invisalign, no one will need to know that you are undergoing treatment, as the aligners are clear and removable. And since you can remove them, it also means that no foods are off limits, and your teeth will be very easy to care for.

One of the main disadvantages of orthodontics is that results aren’t instant. This is a long-term treatment plan that will deliver results in 6-18 months for most patients.

Teeth straightening can help to improve your confidence in your smile. Improved confidence can lead to achieving more both professionally and personally.

One of the first things people notice about you is your teeth. Teeth straightening allows you to be sure of making a good impression

Teeth straightening can help to improve your oral health. By straightening your teeth, it will be easier to perform a full oral hygiene routine, reducing the risk of developing gum disease and decay.

Veneers

A veneer is a thin shell or porcelain that sits over the front of your teeth. This treatment is commonly used over the top front teeth that are visible when you smile. By addressing these teeth all at once, you can achieve a stunning smile makeover that fills you with confidence.

Benefits of veneers:

Veneers offer a quick and effective treatment that allows you to transform your smile in just two visits. This can be much quicker than some treatments such as orthodontics.

Veneers can address a wide range of insecurities, including discolouration, poorly aligned teeth, chips, cracks, thinning enamel and gaps in the teeth.

Veneers can last for up to 10 years with good care, with many patients reporting that they can last even longer. This makes it excellent value when you consider the lifetime value of the treatment plan.

Facial Aesthetics

Facial aesthetic treatment can help to improve the appearance of your skin, plumping and volumizing skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The key aim to all facial aesthetic treatment is to ensure the most natural looking result possible. People should never be able to tell that you have had treatment.

Some of the most popular treatments include anti wrinkle injections to help relax the muscles in the face which then helps to smooth out wrinkles. Dermal fillers are also popular for adding volume to the face and plumping up skin that has lost volume due to age. Lip fillers will also help to increase the size of your lips, or change the shape.

Benefits of facial aesthetics:

Facial aesthetic treatment is fast and easy, treatment can be completed in your lunch hour and you will then be able to return to work with very few visible side effects.

Results are immediate, but tend to look even better a few days later.

Facial aesthetic treatment allows you to control your looks subtly as you age.
