As we get older, our teeth become more crowded..it’s a fact, part of the aging process, I call it the dental equivalent of everything going south…ladies, you know exactly what I mean!

Adult braces is one of the treaments that is growing fastest in my practice.  You are not too old to have it, the oldest patient I have done it for so far is 72 and looks totally fabulous. With the new dental innovations, ‘invisible’ braces are no longer a thing of science fiction

This lady came to me wanting Veneers 2 months before her wedding to straighten her front teeth.  Now I am the queen of veneers as I do so many and I love creating new smiles with them.  However where I can, I try to be as conservative as possible and being a dental phobic, I always say the less dentistry the better

In this case I used the the Inman Aligner which is a relatively new and reasonably quick way of straightening teeth for adults. Teeth can be straightened in as little as 6 weeks (16 weeks for complex cases) with no drilling and usually less of an investment than porcelain veneers or orthodontic treatment. It is not suitable for all situations and more complex orthodontic work or porcelain veneers may be the better option

For Karen, we achieved a beautiful in time for her wedding and topped it off with teeth whitening to give her a gleaming white smile

So it is finally official.  Smiles are fashionable.  Since Paris fashion week models have been told to smile, no pouting, no grimacing, no frowning…SMILE

What took the designers so so I wonder?  Is it the fear that the fabulosity of a smile might take away  from focusing on the clothes?

One thing is for sure no matter what you look like, how you feel a smile is THE accessory to flash around.  The universal language, it has both physical and emotional positive effect effects.  That’s why I LOVE what I do.  I get to share in the transformation as people’s confidence soar and often they tell me that the happy person inside now has a chance to come out.

So today, a typical, dreary cold wet british morning, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day!
