How long do Veneers last?

aesthetics — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 09:10:10 +0000

Porcelain veneers will usually last between five and ten years, while composite veneers last a year or two at most. This does not necessarily mean they will just fall out. The margins of the veneer may discolour and the gum may shrink.

To make your veneers last longer, follow a good oral hygiene program. We strongly recommend regular visits to your dentist and hygienist. With their professional advice you will get much longer timespan with your veneers.

For more information telephone us on 01707 261367 or visit veneers Hertfordshire

aloe vera toothpaste

aesthetics — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:18:09 +0000

The aloe vera plant has a long history of healing power. Its ability to heal burns and cuts and soothe pain has been documented as far back as the 10th century. Legend has it that Cleopatra used aloe vera to keep her skin soft. The modern use of aloe vera was first recognized the 1930s to heal radiation burns. Since then, it has been a common ingredient in ointments that heal sunburn, minor cuts, skin irritation, and many other ailments.

Recently, aloe vera has gained some popularity as an active ingredient in tooth gel. Similar to its use on skin, the aloe vera in tooth gels is used to cleanse and soothe teeth and gums.

Aloe vera tooth gel is intended to perform the same function as toothpaste, which is to eliminate pathogenic oral microflora—disease causing bacteria—in the mouth. The ability of aloe vera tooth gel to successfully perform that function has been a point of contention for some dental professionals. However, research presented in General Dentistry may alleviate that concern. The study compared the germ-fighting ability of an aloe vera tooth gel to two commercially top toothpastes and revealed that the aloe vera tooth gel was just as effective, and in some cases more effective, than the commercial brands at controlling cavity-causing organisms.

Aloe latex contains anthraquinones, which are chemical compounds that are used in healing and arresting pain because they are anti-inflammatory in nature. But, because aloe vera tooth gel tends to be less harsh on teeth, as it does not contain the abrasive elements typically found in commercial toothpaste, it is a great alternative for people with sensitive teeth or gums.

But buyers must beware. Not all aloe vera tooth gel contains the proper form of aloe vera. Products must contain the stabilized gel that is located in the center of the aloe vera plant in order to be effective. Products must also adhere to certain manufacturing standards.

Restylane Fillers evening in Hertfordshire

aesthetics — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 08:38:45 +0000

aesthetics had its Restylane Fillers evening in Hertfordshire last night. Despite the adverse weather conditions we had a great turnout. There were live demos on fillers for nose to mouth lines, the audience were amazed with the instant results. To learn more about dermal fillers herts see this link.

Our own Jenna volunteered to have botox administered under her arms. Not many people know that it can be used to treat excessive sweating in this area – botox herts

Would like to thank all the team at aesthetics – Smita, Jenna and Pub for their help and to the people that braved the weather.

Questions to ask yourself if considering facial aesthetics

aesthetics — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 09:53:24 +0000

Why do you want a procedure done, is it to please your self or some one else? Make sure your decision is for you, not because you feel you have to keep up with friends or impress work colleagues or look good for a partner. If you are not 100% sure you want to have it done you might regret it after.

What are you hoping to achieve from the procedure? More confidence, to look good for a event?

Do you want something subtle or a more dramatic change?

Ask around, research online then speak to a professional.

What happens when you finish your orthodontic treatment?

aesthetics — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:01:09 +0000

We have a large number of patients that had braces when they were younger and were happy with the final result. Then it all went downhill. Either they were not offered a retainer or they decided not to wear it. Now they have crooked teeth and will have to pay and go through the whole experience again.

This is why after every orthodontic case, whether it be invisalign hatfield, inman aligner hatfield or 6month smiles hatfield we insist on a retainer at the conclusion of the treatment.

There are normally 2 choices.

A fixed wire behind your front teeth. This has the advantage that it is there all the time. However some people might not like the thought of something permanent in their mouths.

The second choice is a clear removable retainer. This is normally worn full time for the first 3 months and nightly after this.

So if you don’t want to go back to crooked teeth, make sure you wear your retainers.

call us on 01707 261367 or visit orthodontics herts for more information.

When can veneers help you?

aesthetics — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 09:09:13 +0000

At aesthetics in Hatfield, Hertfordshire we have patients requesting veneers for a number of reasons. Veneers are hand crafted porcelain coverings that normally go over the front surface of the tooth. They usually require minimal preparation of your tooth and are permanently bonded onto the tooth.

Here are a few reasons why veneers may be the best option for you:

Chipped teeth

As veneers cover the whole front surface of the tooth, we can straighten and even out your smile. Another option would be bonding.

Crooked teeth

Veneers are most commonly used to change the shape of your teeth and straighten your smile. Another option would be invisalign hertfordshire

Spacing between teeth

We can close spaces with veneers. You would normally require a few veneers but this would be possible. An alternative would be orthodontics hertfordshire

Unhappy with position of your teeth

Veneers can change the shape and position of your teeth at the same time. An alternative maybe invisalign hertfordshire

Colour of your teeth

You can choose the colour of your veneers and therefore brighten up your smile. An alternative maybe teeth whitening hertfordshire

With the above scenarios there are different options available. We would discuss all options and leave the choice up to you.

For more information visit veneers Hertfordshire or call us on 01707 261367.
