Invisalign
The clear alternative to braces.
Are you fed up with crooked teeth? Invisalign “invisible braces”
could be for you. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are
custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually
reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of in less than a
year!.

ENLIGHTEN TOOTH WHITENING |
ENLIGHTEN
Award Winning Tooth Whitening
I have been a bit ambivalent about tooth whitening for years. Either
it was home bleaching with over the counter products (that weren’t
great) or Zoom which is “in house”, but does not always give the ideal
results for everyone. You can understand that I was somewhat sceptical
when Elizabeth come bouncing in to tell me that a new system gave
unbelievable and consistent results. After much browbeating I bought
some Enlighten Kits and tried one on her and one on me WOW!!!. The
results have been astonishing. Yes, you do have to
wear some special trays at home for a few nights and do an hour in the
surgery, BUT... NO SENSITIVITY and BEAUTIFULLY WHITE TEETH. Both
Elizabeth’s teeth and mine are much lighter than with Zoom! Opalescence
etc etc.

A valued patient is one of the top photographers in the UK. He
has been commissioned by The Getty Archive to take photographs of a
“state of the art” surgery with great looking dentists and staff for
the archive. The Getty Archives is one of the largest collections of
photographs in the world and is viewable online.
You can find the good looking staff here, but unfortunately he was
stuck with an aesthetically challenged dentist. These pictures will be
available for us to utilize and I hope that when they are uploaded
around October time you will take the opportunity to look on our
fabulous new website. |

DENTAL AMALGAM- IS IT SAFE? |
We are asked this all the time. Over the years concerns have been
raised about the use of amalgam fillings because they contain mercury.
The controversy over mercury in amalgam centers on how much mercury is
released from fillings and absorbed into the body. In the past, it was
thought that amalgam fillings were inert, meaning that no mercury was
released once the filling was complete. In recent years, sophisticated
tests have shown that very small amounts of mercury in the form of
vapour can be released as the amalgam wears.

We are 1 of
only 50 registered practices in the UK to be offering the Inman
Aligner. Over the years I have been asked by numerous patients if we
can correct mild crowding of either upper or lower front teeth, without
resorting to 2 years of fixed braces. The answer now is YES!!! We can
straighten lower incisors with a removable Inman Brace in as little as
6 weeks. In the past people with crooked teeth have had only a limited
number of choices. Fixed braces and clear braces work well but are slow
and can also be costly especially when only the incisors are crooked.
Because of this many people choose to have porcelain veneers instead.
This often involves heavy grinding of the teeth. At the thought of this
many people choose to do nothing and just live with crooked teeth they
are unhappy with.
However the Inman Aligner can give an ideal alternative. Because it
works so quickly and efficiently, if you don't like the idea of having
brackets stuck to your teeth or waiting months and months for a clear
brace to work, you can now have your front teeth straightened in as
little as 6 -12 weeks.

MIGRAINES HEADACHES AND TMJ PAIN |
Treating Migraines, Headaches
and Head and Neck Pain
20-25% of adults suffer from regular headaches. There are some 50 million adults in the UK.
A lot of patients have small errors in their bite which make them put
their teeth together in a position of comfort rather than the right
position. These tiny interferences have precisely the same effect as a
stone in a shoe. Instead of limping, patient’s jaw muscles are left to
take up the strain of keeping their jaw in a comfortable position and
it is usually in these muscles that the pain begins simply because the
muscles can never relax.
