Keeping the Megawatt Smile up
Whether it’s to gain a new friend or win over an employment recruiter
along with your credentials, people will naturally want to flash their
best smiles. For those looking for a date, discoloured teeth is one of
the most unattractive features you can exhibit, beating skin spots and a
bad hair day. Counteract this with sound oral hygiene and professional
teeth whitening.

Cosmetic Dentistry: How to Keep Smiling in London
Londoners have plenty of reasons not to smile, what with rising house prices, Tube strikes, and a growing sense of isolation despite the bustling crowds. In fact, a 2014 survey found that London was the least happy major city in the UK.
Some Londoners, however, aren't smiling simply because they have dental issues—ranging from stained to crooked teeth. Discoloured teeth, for one, mean a lot of people are keeping their mouths closed, even when they're bursting to flash a grin at that cute stranger on the Tube.
The London lifestyle may be to blame for teeth that aren't as white as they used to be. Tea, coffee, and red wine, even naturally occurring minerals in tap water, can all stain teeth. Unsurprisingly for the capital city of a tea-drinking nation, tea consumption is high in London. It may come as more of a surprise to learn that, in 2013, a higher percentage of Londoners said they drank coffee than New Yorkers.
Fortunately, it's easy to restore your smile's natural whiteness with a cosmetic dental treatment. In laser whitening, one of the most modern procedures available, a whitening agent is painted on to your teeth. The laser activates this chemical, which starts working straight away. Safe, quick, and easy, laser whitening delivers instant results and can lighten teeth by several shades. Most importantly, it doesn't hurt.
After a visit to your cosmetic dentist’s office, you can finally give your fellow commuters a wide, heartfelt smile. They're probably having a bad day, too.

Dental Implants: Advantages and After-care
Dental implants have been around since the 1980s, and are growing in popularity and affordability. Dental implants are artificial titanium roots inserted by a dentist to replace one or more lost teeth. Crowns, false teeth and dentures can then be attached to the titanium fitting. Implants are suitable for most patients with generally good oral health, who have lost teeth due to accidents or severe decay, and can replace a single tooth or entire dentures.

Looking after a Porcelain Crown
Certain teeth conditions may
require installing a crown over your affected tooth. Advances in dental technology have allowed the
development of porcelain crowns, in lieu of metallic ones which have been
installed for years, so most crowns nowadays are porcelain. Once your dentist
installs one on your tooth, it is now your responsibility to maintain it.
Continue oral hygiene practices.
The tooth that has a crown
is still not safe from cavities so regular oral hygiene is of utmost importance.
Start by brushing your teeth regularly like you always do, but be gentle, so as
not to dislodge the crown by accident. Ask your cosmetic dentist if you could
use a toothpaste that does not react to or damage the adhesive used for the
crown. Interdental brushes, which are commonly used for teeth with braces, can also
be used to remove plaque from the crevices between the teeth, especially those
adjacent to the crown.

All about Misaligned Teeth
When
your dentist tells you that you have “malocclusion”, it’s
actually a more scientific term for misaligned teeth. Ideally, your
teeth should fit snugly inside your mouth without any crowding or
spacing between them, and they also should be straight—not rotated
or twisted.

Clear Braces: Straighter Teeth with Less Metal
Who
does not want a great smile with straight and perfectly aligned
teeth? Having crooked teeth can be a bother, and not just because it
can ruin your appearance. Jagged dentitions can actually complicate
oral health, especially because uneven teeth formations can form gaps
and corners that toothbrushes and floss cannot clean properly.
Crooked teeth can be treated and aligned, thankfully, with the use of
dental braces.
