It is often said that a smile says more than a thousand words – and it is one of the most important aspects that affects people’s first impression of you. It also has a huge impact on how happy and healthy you appear, as well as affecting people’s perception of your age. All things considered, if you choose to invest in one thing this year, your smile is a good choice. So just what can you do to fall back in love with your smile? Here are some top tips from our experts.
1. Back to basics
Before rushing into any kind of cosmetic treatment to improve or restore your smile, it is essential to make sure that you have the basics covered. More important than anything else is ensuring that you brush your teeth for two minutes at least twice a day, using a good quality fluoridated toothpaste. Brushing is the single biggest way to reduce the occurrence of tooth decay and gum disease, whilst fluoride helps to strengthen the outer layers of teeth, protecting them from the damaging effects of acid. Even if you have damaged, missing or loose teeth, maintaining an effective oral hygiene routine is the best way to protect your remaining teeth and ensure that you have the best chances of success with any cosmetic procedures you choose to have in the future. Should you have artificial replacement teeth, you’ll still need to brush well to make sure that everything stays in order for as long as possible.
2. Teeth Whitening
As we age, our teeth naturally loose some of their sparkle and shine. This can be further exaggerated by diet and lifestyle factors. Coffee, red wine and cigarettes are just a few examples of common causes of staining. Even a relatively small degree of staining can have a significant impact on your appearance and easily undermine your self confidence.
Luckily, with professional teeth whitening it is almost always possible to restore your teeth to a shade of white that you are happy and comfortable with. Here at Perfect Pearls, we offer two types of teeth whitening, depending on your lifestyle and needs – Philips Zoom! Home Kit Whitening and Philips Zoom! In-chair Whitening. The latter is by far the quickest and most effective option and recommended in most cases.
3. Dental Implants
Missing, failing or loose teeth can have a huge impact on your confidence and how you feel about yourself, making you reluctant to smile and even speak, as well as impacting on the pleasure of eating. Patients with missing teeth also often tell us that they have become reluctant to get out and socialise, which can easily leaving them isolated and unhappy. Luckily, with the low cost dental implants available from Perfect Pearls, you could have your smile restored in no time and without breaking the bank. From a single tooth to a complete new set of teeth, dental implants are by far the most effective solution.
Not only do dental implants contribute to a greater sense of confidence and well-being, they can also significantly reduce the effects of ageing and other facial changes associated with missing teeth – as illustrated in the examples below:
As well as offering exceptional value, Perfect Pearls is also proud to have a higher than UK average success rate for implant integration of 98% against a UK average of around 96%. And with 0% APR now available on finance for any treatments totalling over £3500, your new smile might just be a lot more affordable than you thought.
4. Cosmetic Dentistry
If you are suffering from chipped, worn or crooked teeth, gaps or other similar problems, then our cosmetic dentistry options are sure to offer a suitable solution. We offer a full range of high quality cosmetic dentistry using the latest techniques and materials available in modern dentistry, at a fraction of the usual costs. Popular treatments include veneers, which are ideal for correcting stained, chipped, or crooked teeth and crowns, which are typically used for more badly damaged teeth.
5. Facial Rejuvenation
Sometimes it is not your teeth that make you unhappy with your smile, but the wrinkles which naturally gather on your face with age. As well as a full range of cosmetic dentistry, we are proud to be able to offer our patients the option to improve their appearance and reduce the effects of aging with our facial rejuvenation treatment, which uses facial rejuvenation injections to reduce and prevent wrinkles in key areas, in particular frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles.
