Does your smile leave something a little something to be desired, despite your gums and teeth being in great shape health-wise? If so, you may be one of many people who struggle with crooked, chipped or worn teeth, or a little discolouration. These may seem like insignificant imperfections, but they can lead to you feeling less than comfortable about smiling, eating and laughing, and that can have significant effects on your emotional wellbeing and your relationships. A smile is one of our most important communication tools, and not using it can affect our ability to create good relationships, however fleeting.

In Loughton, cosmetic dentistry at Broadway Dental Clinic offers a range of treatments, some which can be carried out from start to finish in a single visit, to bring out the best in your smile.

Your options

Our cosmetic dentistry in Loughton ranges from dentures, bridges and crowns, to modern natural tooth enhancing techniques such as whitening, porcelain veneers, white fillings and dental implants.

Our cosmetic dentists can fit porcelain veneers over chipped, broken and discoloured, or even slightly misaligned, teeth. Veneers are durable, very thin sheaths of porcelain that the dentist fixes over your natural teeth. They are the dental equivalent of nail extensions, except that you can expect them to last for about 10 years. The dentist needs to remove a thin layer of enamel to prepare your teeth for the veneers to adhere to, and to ensure that they line up flush with your other teeth. Once the veneers are in place, they look and behave just like natural teeth. You can have one, two, several or even a whole mouthful of veneers fitted.

If your imperfections are more about crowded, crooked or misaligned teeth, then we can reposition them with Invisalign clear aligners. Instead of brackets and wires, you get snug-fitting transparent plastic covers that slip over the teeth. Each aligner is deliberately ill-fitting, and the pressure from them moves your teeth along their path to correct alignment. Aligners are removable, for cleaning, eating and brushing your teeth.

In Loughton, cosmetic dentistry at Broadway Dental Clinic also offers dental implants to replace lost teeth, and professional tooth whitening.
