[SURREY, 04/09/2017] At Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic in Farnham, cosmetic dentistry is as important for health as general dentistry. The dentists at Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic recognise the importance of cosmetic dentistry for the emotional health and well-being of patients. Those who are embarrassed by their teeth or gums can tend to isolate themselves or not interact as freely and spontaneously as they might wish because they don’t’ want anyone to see their teeth.

Suppressing smiles and the like can seriously affect people, not only because smiling is an important trigger for the release of natural feel good chemicals like serotonin. At Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic, staff know that smiling is also the number one way people communicate their friendliness and warmth and to not be able to do so can seriously hinder making good social connections, leading to isolation, loneliness, and depression. This is why Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic takes cosmetic dentistry so seriously and it is not seen as self-indulgence.

Cosmetic dentistry options available

At Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic cosmetic dentistry treatments are used to revitalise discoloured, broken, twisted, or gappy teeth and can also help with gums that are too dominant when people smile. The cosmetic dentistry treatments can be used singly or combined in a smile makeover.

For example, an Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic patient might come to in for cosmetic dentistry with teeth that have fallen out due to decay, leading to their other teeth moving around in the jaw, and bad discolouration thanks to smoking, plus a few chips from a bicycle accident when they were young. The Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic cosmetic dentistry team might recommend a smile makeover, starting with braces treatment to put the wandering teeth back where they should be. This would allow the Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic cosmetic dentistry team to then put dental implants into the gaps where that tooth fell out. Next step for the Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic cosmetic dentistry team would be to whiten the teeth to a younger, fresher shade, before tidying up the chipped teeth with non-invasive cosmetic bonding.
