A good cosmetic dentist will tell you there is no such thing as a quick fix in the world of cosmetic dentistry. At 61 Dental in Stockport we believe in providing high-quality treatments that produce lasting results; however, there are some fast and effective ways your dentist can make over your smile in time for a special occasion.

When you come into our Stockport dental practice for an aesthetic consultation, your cosmetic dentist will take the time to find out what you want to achieve, and will – after a clinical examination – talk you through the pros and cons of all the relevant treatment options.

Here are some of the popular ways a Stockport cosmetic dentist can quickly make over your smile:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the world, and is safe, reliable, and fast when provided by a cosmetic dentist. It involves the use of special bleaching gel to gently remove common stains – such as those caused by tea, coffee, or nicotine – from your teeth, leaving them several shades brighter and whiter.

At 61 Dental in Stockport you can either have a single power whitening session with a cosmetic dentist here in the clinic, or can carry out the treatment yourself at home over a two-week period.

Porcelain veneers

A cosmetic dentist can use these thin, hand-crafted shells of porcelain to improve the look of a single discoloured or chipped tooth, or can make a full set to create a smile makeover. Veneers are suitable for improving the appearance of a wide range of dental issues – including covering small gaps, dealing with minor alignment issues, and making teeth look more even – and with proper care can last ten years or more.

You will need a minimum of two appointments with your Stockport cosmetic dentist to have veneers fitted.

Replacing metal fillings

Metal amalgam fillings can add an unwanted grey or silver tinge to your smile. At our Stockport clinic a cosmetic dentist can safely remove these old fillings and replace them with tooth-coloured alternatives for an instant brightness boost. Usually, this requires just one appointment.

A cosmetic dentist has many ways to brighten up your smile. At 61 Dental in Stockport we offer a full range of cosmetic treatments, and your cosmetic dentist will work with you to find the perfect solution to suit your needs.

The biggest cosmetic dental complaint in the UK is about the colour of people’s teeth. Some 64% of UK adults are dissatisfied with their current tooth colour. If this applies to you, a consultation with a Stockport cosmetic dentist is the first step to giving your smile back its natural, beautiful lustre.

When you come into our Stockport dental practice for a consultation, the first thing your cosmetic dentist will do is to establish the nature of your tooth discolouration. It may surprise you to learn that the biggest cause of discoloured teeth in the UK is visible dental plaque. This isn’t just an aesthetic issue; plaque is bad news for your health, because it causes both tooth decay and gum disease. These cause a host of problems, and can ultimately lead to tooth loss.

If dental plaque is the cause of your tooth discolouration, you need to see a dental hygienist. They can remove all traces of plaque with a professional tooth clean, and can also provide you with information on how to improve your home brushing and flossing routine to make sure plaque stays away.

Even those with good oral hygiene can find their teeth become stained by a range of lifestyle factors, including drinks such as red wine or coffee, habits such as smoking, and as a side-effect of some medications.

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the world, and is an effective way of combating everyday tooth stains. So long as it is provided by a cosmetic dentist, it is entirely safe and reliable.

At 61 Dental in Stockport we offer two options for teeth whitening: home whitening, or power whitening here in the clinic with a cosmetic dentist.

We can also help with permanent tooth stains at our Stockport clinic. Your cosmetic dentist can use porcelain veneers to improve the appearance of a permanently stained/discoloured tooth.
