Full Mouth Reconstruction
A full mouth reconstruction may be required when all, or a majority of teeth, are missing or badly damaged. The cosmetic dentistry procedure for a full mouth reconstruction uses a number of different methods to create a perfect smile, including a combination of porcelain veneers, dental crowns and bridges and dental implants. Further information on these individual dental treatments can be found below.
The full mouth reconstruction dental procedure is also recommended for clients that suffer with pain such as headaches, migraines, eye pain, shoulder pain, etc. that could be caused by the jaw and teeth.
London based Harley Cosmetic Dentistry has vast experience bringing together the different elements required to create a smile that not only looks perfect, but also ensures that the jaw and teeth are healthy and functioning correctly.
Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers can transform your smile in only two visits. Dental veneers are very thin slices of porcelain that fit over the surface of your front teeth. The veneers are used to cover discoloured, chipped or damaged teeth and can also close the gaps between teeth and make crooked teeth appear straight. Typically lasting ten to fifteen years, veneers are an excellent long term solution requiring little or no maintenance.
Veneers are used for aesthetic reasons and are very common with actors, actresses and general celebrities who want the perfect Hollywood smile.
Cosmetic Tooth Bonding
Cosmetic tooth bonding provides our clients with an instant smile makeover. Using composite materials specially matched to the shade of your teeth, we can close gaps between teeth, instantly repair a broken front tooth, cover chips and cracks, cover discolorations and reshape your teeth.
The cosmetic tooth bonding technique available at London's Harley Cosmetic Dentistry practice, helps clients to improve their smile and appearance, which leads to a general increase in self confidence.
Dental Implants
A great alternative to dentures, dental implants are placed directly into the jaw. Harley Cosmetic Dentistry will match your natural tooth colour or improve on it if required. Dental implants are so natural and secure that you will soon forget you were missing a tooth.
As one of the first Cosmetic Dentists to use dental implants, Dr. Geoffrey Longson is an expert in dental implantology.
Dental Crowns
Harley Cosmetic Dentistry restore the appearance and strength of badly broken or heavily filled teeth with dental crowns or caps.
London Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Geoffrey Longson will shape the tooth and take a mould. From this mould, a crown is produced which is then bonded to the tooth. The beauty of dental crowns is that they can be colour matched to your own teeth to ensure a natural look.
Dental Bridges or Tooth Replacement
A missing tooth can not only affect your confidence when you smile, but also influence other oral functions such as eating, chewing, and speaking. This embarrassing and frustrating experience can be avoided with the use of a dental bridge, which is in effect a tooth replacement.
A dental bridge is ideal when only one or two teeth are missing. They work by placing a false tooth, normally made of porcelain, into the gap and bonding the false tooth to the teeth on either side.
Dental Inlays and Onlays
Similar to dental crowns, these procedures are less invasive and are used to repair teeth where normal fillings will not suffice. Decay is removed from the tooth and a mould is taken. From this mould a porcelain or gold piece is created that is then bonded to the surface of the tooth. Unlike traditional fillings, inlays and onlays will strengthen the tooth.
Dental Contouring and Reshaping
Dental contouring and reshaping is a quick, simple and non-invasive procedure that gives immediate results for minor imperfections. Small chips, worn edges, pits or grooves in your teeth can all be smoothed out with this procedure and small overlaps may also be corrected.
Tooth Whitening
A large majority of people today are not happy with the colour of their teeth, mainly due to yellowing with age, stained from smoking, coffee or red wine. These colour imperfections can be corrected with tooth whitening from the Harley Cosmetic Dentistry team in London, UK.
Dr. Geoffrey Longson advises that clients interested in tooth whitening, carry out a good deal of research before going ahead with any treatment, as the effects on tooth enamel when procedures are not carried out correctly, or home treatments are used, can be devastating.
As such, Harley Cosmetic Dentistry use only the latest techniques for tooth whitening from their Harley Street London practice, that help to prevent risk to the tooth enamel.
Dentist Phobia & Pain Free Dentistry
At Harley Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that some people can be extremely scared to visit the dentist and consequently, the clients' teeth can deteriorate to a point where the fear is just too great to make the contact with a dental practice.
At Harley Cosmetic Dentistry, we have helped a number of clients with an extreme dentist phobia, with various methods of relaxation for before and during treatment, including controlled sedation and acupuncture.
London Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Longson takes pride in his gentle approach as a Harley Street cosmetic dentist, making sure every effort is taken to carry out treatments in the shortest time possible, with minimal discomfort to the patient for a pain free dentistry experience.
