Throughout life there are often several things that you wish you could change about your smile. Some people have a desire to address their crooked teeth and have them straightened out professionally, whilst other people may simply wish that they had a brighter smile. At Family Dental Care we want to help you not only discover your smile’s potential, but reach it too.

Our dentist in Doncaster East has a range of treatments for you to choose from, to help get the most out of your smile. Replacing missing teeth is typically straightforward, as is repairing any damaged teeth that you may have. Our friendly dentists are always on hand to answer any questions that you may have, and if you are uncertain about which treatment is going to be the most beneficial to you then it is recommended that you book a consultation appointment.

 A brighter smile can reduce your insecurities

Teeth can sometimes become discoloured as you age. This can be for a variety of reasons, including tooth decay, lifestyle habits such as drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, not brushing correctly or not visiting your dentist in Doncaster East often enough.

Discolouration can appear in the form of yellow or brown stains, be found on the inside or outside surfaces of your teeth, and can cause things like tooth decay and bad breath to become worse if left untreated, as plaque is more likely to be building up in these areas.

Sometimes, staining is not the only issue that can cause your smile to appear darker or less white than it once was. Metallic fillings and crowns can also sometimes stand out and impact a smile, but modern dentistry has now provided you with alternative, whiter methods of treating your teeth.

White and ceramic fillings and crowns are now available, and these are capable of blending in with your own natural teeth entirely, making it incredibly difficult for anybody else to even spot that you have undergone treatment.

Straighter teeth could well be stronger, too

It is a common misconception that having your teeth straightened by your dentist in Doncaster East is purely for aesthetic reasons. Whilst having a set of even teeth will often increase your self-esteem, it is also incredibly beneficial for the overall general health of your teeth. If your teeth are overlapping or severely crooked then you could well find it considerably more difficult to clean certain areas effectively when you are brushing your teeth. This can result in plaque collecting in these areas, and can not only cause tooth decay, but could also result in you needing to have your tooth removed if left untreated.

Braces are a common treatment and are capable of correcting even the most severely crooked teeth. There is more than one type of brace, so it is important you discuss which type is most suited to your own personal needs and lifestyle with your practitioner.

A majority of types of braces (such as traditional, ceramic and lingual) attach to the surfaces of your teeth via brackets. Lingual braces are much more discreet than the other two types mentioned, as they attach to the inside surfaces of your teeth rather than the outer.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
