Cosmetic dentistry is an umbrella term covering a huge number of treatments, all of them designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of a smile. At Broadway Dental Clinic in Loughton, our skilled team of cosmetic dentists offer treatments large and small, and will help you get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, whether you need a quick course of teeth whitening treatment or need a full-mouth restoration involving such things as dental implants, cosmetic crowns, or bridges.

At our Loughton dental practice, one of the most common requests made of our cosmetic dentistry team is to have straighter teeth. Whilst orthodontics is now seen as run-of-the-mill for children and teenagers, an increasing number of adults are also keen to straighten their teeth.

One major barrier to adults seeking orthodontic treatment is the common misconception that orthodontics has to equal obvious metal train-track braces. Here at Broadway Dental Clinic in Loughton we understand that this can be very off-putting to adults with busy personal and professional lives. That’s why we include a number of more discreet options as part of our extensive cosmetic dentistry menu.

Aligners or braces?

When you come to our Loughton clinic for a cosmetic dentistry consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and your bite (the way the jaws meet together) and will listen to your treatment preferences before recommending the best option to suit your needs.

We offer teeth straightening treatment with both clear aligners and tooth-coloured braces. Your dentist will explain the pros and cons of both, so that you can make an informed choice.

Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that comprise clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires. They work very quickly by focussing on the front teeth.

Invisalign clear aligners are removable and fit snugly over your teeth, gently guiding them to a new position. They can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues.
