Invisible braces for straighter, healthy teeth

Traditional metal braces are the most effective for teeth straightening and can address the majority of orthodontic issues, however they often draw further attention to the mouth which is a problem for those who are already embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth. If this is the case here at Clapham South Dental Centre we have different types of invisible braces Clapham to address your dental needs and improve the appearance of your smile. invisible-braces-clapham

There are two types of invisible braces Clapham these include fixed braces and removable braces. Fixed invisible braces are necessary for those with complex orthodontic issues whilst removable invisible braces are more suitable for those with mild or moderate orthodontic issues, including those who may have undergone orthodontic treatment when they were younger. Both are discreet in their individual ways and both are effective for addressing the orthodontic issues of your teeth to transform the appearance of your smile and also promote better dental health for the future.

Fixed invisible braces

You can speak to us and find out about Incognito. Incognito is a form of fixed, lingual braces. These include metal brackets and an archwire similar to traditional braces, however these components are attached to the back surface of your teeth so that they are hidden within your mouth. They are highly effective for teeth straightening albeit more expensive than their traditional counterparts and can help you straighten your teeth at your discretion. They are an excellent solution if you are suffering from complex orthodontic issues which may be affecting your dental health.

If your orthodontic issues are simply cosmetic then you can speak to us at Clapham South Dental Centre and find out about Cfast. Cfast or Cosmetically Focused Adult Straight Teeth focuses on the visible teeth only. They are fixed braces that are attached to the front of your teeth in the same way as traditional metal braces, however the brackets and wires are clear or tooth coloured for discretion. As they are designed for correcting aesthetic issues of the teeth the components are also much lighter and delicate than traditional braces, therefore they are more comfortable in the mouth. It is a relatively quick treatment as it only works on the upper and lower front six teeth.

Depending on your individual dental needs our dentist will help you decide which is the best option for you.

Removable invisible braces

You can also speak to us at the practice and find out about removable invisible braces Clapham. The most popular form of removable invisible brace is Invisalign. Invisalign is used across the world and has already treated more than 14 million smiles in just over 20 years. Invisalign works using clear thermoplastic aligners that are individually designed to help push your teeth into a neater formation. They can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary and can help address quite a wide range of orthodontic issues to improve the appearance of your smile and promote better dental health as well.

Dental implants for replacing missing teeth

Losing a tooth can be very upsetting. Even the thought of tooth loss can be scary and worrying, so if you are worried that you may have a wobbly tooth or your teeth do not feel as strong as they once did then you need to speak to us at Clapham South Dental Centre and book an appointment, so that we can carry out a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and identify any issues which may be affecting your dental health. It is important that you visit the dentist at least once every six months to prevent dental health complications. If you do not visit the dentist regularly then plaque and tartar build up on your teeth. This can damage your teeth and it can creep underneath your gum line to cause gum disease. By attacking the tooth and weakening your gum, plaque and tartar can cause your teeth to become wobbly and eventually fall out. dental-implants-clapham

By visiting the dentist this can be prevented. We can help reverse the damage to your teeth if detected early on or if the tooth is damaged then we can restore it by carrying out a root canal treatment, covering your tooth with a cap or a crown so that it looks and feels like a strong natural tooth once again. If we detect gum disease early on this can also be reversed with good dental hygiene and an effective professional clean. If it has progressed we can carry out laser surgery and restore the health and function of your gums once more.

If you avoid the dentist altogether then you will lose your tooth and if you continue to avoid the dentist eventually you will end up with multiple missing teeth. You may even lose all of your teeth and become edentulous. If this is the case then here at Clapham South Dental Centre we are still here to help you. It does not matter how long you have avoided the dentist, we can put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you.

Dental implants

Whether you have one missing tooth or multiple missing teeth you need to speak to us and find out about replacing your missing teeth with dental implants Clapham. Dental implants Clapham can be used in adult patients of all ages. They are the gold standard in tooth replacement and they are designed to last for the rest of your life. This means dental implants Clapham are an excellent choice for young adults and those who have lost their teeth earlier than expected. You will have a replacement tooth for the rest of your life that will look and feel almost like your natural tooth. The implant itself is a small titanium screw that is fitted into your jaw. This is then fitted with a crown, a set of partial dentures or a full set of dentures depending on how many teeth you are replacing. The crown or dentures themselves will have to be replaced every 5 to 10 years or as necessary, however the implant will stay in place forever. Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% so by visiting the dentist regularly and looking after your teeth at home you can enjoy a beautiful smile for the rest of your life.

Invisalign: everything you need to know about getting a stunning smile

Not everybody wants to realign their smile with everyone watching. Having visible braces can be a source of anxiety for some patients and some do not pursue treatment thinking that they may need to wear a visible appliance in their mouths. If this is you, then you don’t need to avoid us at Clapham South Dental Centre. We have a treatment that is discreet and convenient, and it could be right for you. Invisalign Clapham is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. Invisalign is a popular choice for many people because it’s discreet, comfortable, and effective. The aligners are virtually invisible, so you can wear them during work, social events, and even when you’re exercising. They’re also comfortable to wear, and they don’t require any special care or maintenance. invisalign-clapham

What is Invisalign used to treat?

Invisalign is a highly effective treatment for a variety of tooth positioning ailments, including crowded teeth, crossbites, overbites, underbites and gapped teeth. Invisalign is a great option for people who want to realign their teeth without having to wear a visible or fixed appliance. It’s a discreet, comfortable, and effective treatment that can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

How Invisalign works

Invisalign Clapham works by using a series of clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then it’s replaced with a new aligner that’s slightly different. This process continues until your teeth are in the desired position. The aligners are made from a clear, flexible material that’s comfortable to wear. They’re also removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth, and floss.

Advantages of Invisalign

There are many advantages to choosing Invisalign and this is why many of our patients opt for the treatment. The aligners are virtually invisible, so you can wear them without having to worry about other people staring at your mouth. Invisalign Clapham is suitable for teenagers and adults, so whether you need to head to school or the office, we’ve got you covered and nobody else should realise you’re having treatment. As you wear the aligners, they should be comfortable as they are made bespoke to fit your mouth. They are also made from a soft and flexible plastic material that shouldn’t irritate your mouth or gums. Another benefit of choosing Invisalign is the fact that the aligners are easy to care for and maintain. You can clean them with soap and water, and you don’t have to worry about them getting caught on food as you can take them out at mealtimes.

How to get Invisalign

If you’re interested in getting Invisalign, the first step is to schedule a consultation with our dentist here at Clapham South Dental Centre. During the consultation, our dentist will assess your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If it is, they will create a treatment plan and schedule your treatment. Invisalign treatment typically takes 12-18 months, but the length of time will vary depending on the severity of your misalignment. During treatment, you will need to wear your aligners for 22 hours per day. You will also need to come back to see us every 4-6 weeks for a check-up and to receive more of the aligners.

At the end of your treatment, you will have a beautiful, stunning smile that you can be proud of. It’s a discreet, comfortable, and effective treatment that can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Clear braces: give your smile a makeover

Do you have crooked teeth that you’re self-conscious about? If so, you’re not alone. Many people have misaligned teeth. But there’s good news! With clear braces Clapham at Clapham South Dental Centre, you can get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. The process should be efficient, timely and convenient with either two of our popular treatments: Damon braces and Invisalign. Clear braces Clapham are a great option for people who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to how they’re doing it. Invisalign uses clear aligners to move your teeth, whereas Damon braces have transparent brackets, making them both discreet, but there are some key differences between the two.

clear-braces-clapham

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the most popular brands of clear aligner. It uses a series of custom-made aligners that are worn over your teeth for two weeks at a time. Each aligner is slightly different, and they gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Invisalign is a great option for people who want a discreet and comfortable treatment for mild to moderate alignment issues. The aligners are clear and virtually invisible, so you can wear them during social events and at work or school without anyone noticing. They’re also removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth, and floss, allowing you to eat normally and clean your teeth properly afterwards.

Damon

Damon braces are another type of clear brace. However, Damon braces differ from Invisalign in a few key ways. Firstly, Damon braces use a self-ligating mechanism that allows your teeth to move more easily. This means that you may need fewer aligners and treatment time may be shorter than with Invisalign. Secondly, the Damon self-ligating mechanism reduces the amount of friction between the brackets and the wires, which makes it less likely that your teeth will become sore.

Which type of clear braces Clapham is right for you?

The best type of clear brace for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you’re looking for a discreet and comfortable treatment, Invisalign may be a good option for you. If you’re looking for a treatment that may require less time and is also comfortable to wear, Damon braces may be a better choice.

To find out which type of clear brace is right for you, all you need to do is book in for an initial consultation with our dentist. Our friendly and experienced team will give you a warm welcome, before examining your teeth and recommending the best treatment plan for you. You can ask all the questions you need to feel fully informed, when it comes to choosing the treatment you wish to have.

Benefits of clear braces

In addition to being discreet and comfortable, clear braces offer a number of other benefits, including the fact that they can treat a range of issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, and overbites. By improving your smile, they should hopefully boost your self-confidence, especially if they help you to eat and speak more clearly.

So, if you’re looking for a wonderful new smile, why not come and see us at Clapham South Dental Centre and give yourself the gift of a super smile?!

Invisible braces: nobody has to know how you get your great smile!

If you’re looking for a way to realign your teeth discreetly, then you may want to consider Damon braces. A Damon brace is a type of self-ligating brace that uses a special locking mechanism to hold the archwire in place. This allows for a more comfortable and efficient treatment process, and it also makes Damon braces less noticeable than traditional braces. At Clapham South Dental Centre, we offer Damon braces as an alternative to another of our discreet treatments, Invisalign, which is an aligner system.

invisible-braces-clapham

What are Damon braces?

Damon braces are self-ligating; they use a special locking mechanism to hold the archwire in place. This mechanism is called a Damon clip and it allows the archwire to move more freely through the brackets. This, in turn, allows for a more comfortable and efficient treatment process.

How do Damon braces work?

Damon braces work in the same way as traditional braces. The archwire is attached to the brackets with elastic bands or ties. However, with Damon braces, the archwire is held in place by the Damon clip. This allows the archwire to move more freely through the brackets, which reduces friction and makes it easier for the teeth to move. The brackets are clear and are therefore less noticeable, but they are also smaller than traditional brace brackets. Damon braces also don’t have elastic ties, so nobody will see colourful bands in your mouth when you are talking.

Advantages of Damon braces

There are several advantages to using Damon braces. One of the great features of Damon braces is that they should be more comfortable than traditional braces, because they use a self-ligating system. This system reduces friction, which makes it easier for the teeth to move. As a result, there is less pain and discomfort associated with them. These invisible braces Clapham should have a shorter treatment period than traditional braces, because they allow for a more precise movement of the teeth. This is because the archwire can move more freely through the brackets, which allows for a more gradual and controlled movement of the teeth. As a result, Damon braces can often shorten the overall treatment time. Finally, our patients certainly love the fact that Damon braces are less noticeable than traditional braces because they use clear brackets. This makes them a good option for people who are self-conscious about their braces.

How to get Damon braces

To get Damon braces, you will need to book in for a consultation. Our dentist will evaluate your teeth and determine if Damon invisible braces Clapham are the right treatment for you.

How do Damon braces differ from Invisalign?

Invisalign provides another type of invisible braces Clapham. However, there are some key differences between Damon braces and Invisalign. Damon braces are fixed braces, while Invisalign is a removable appliance. This means that you will need to wear Damon braces all the time, while you can take Invisalign out when you eat, drink, and brush your teeth. Damon braces use a self-ligating system, while Invisalign uses a series of aligners that are changed every couple of weeks. Damon braces are more noticeable than Invisalign, but they are still less noticeable than traditional braces.

Which type of brace is right for you?

The best type of brace for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a comfortable, efficient, and less noticeable way to straighten your teeth, then Damon braces may be a good option for you. If you are looking for a removable appliance, then Invisalign may be a better option.

If you are interested in learning more about Damon braces, then you should schedule a consultation with us at Clapham South Dental Centre. Our friendly and professional team are ready to help you get the right treatment for your specific needs and get you smiling a great smile.

Dental implants: complete your smile permanently

Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your appearance, self-confidence and overall health. Dental implants Clapham are a permanent solution that can help you regain your smile and improve your quality of life. At Clapham South Dental Centre, Dr Aussia is a member of the Association of Dental Implantology. He constantly keeps updated on the latest training in the field of dental implantology and he strives to deliver treatment in a caring and friendly environment here at the practice. dental-implants-clapham

What are dental implants?

Dental implants Clapham are titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant is in place, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to it to create a natural looking and functional tooth replacement.

How do dental implants work?

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Dental implants help to prevent this bone loss by providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. The titanium implant is accepted by the body and fuses with the bone, creating a strong and durable anchor for the artificial tooth.

Advantages of dental implants

There are many advantages to choosing dental implants over other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. Firstly, dental implants are permanent and do not require adhesives or clasps. Dental implants Clapham should also look and feel like natural teeth, because they shouldn’t loosen at all. This means that they should also improve your ability to chew your food and to speak clearly. You won’t need to adapt your diet, avoiding hard or chewy foods, and you should be able to speak without worrying that others will find it difficult to follow what you are saying to them. A further health benefit of dental implants is the fact that they can help to prevent bone loss. If you leave your gums exposed by having gaps in your smile, this can eventually lead to the bone density lessening in your jawbone. By replacing your missing teeth, however, you are protecting your gums, jawbone and any remaining natural teeth you have from further complications. What’s more, dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth.

How to get dental implants

The first step in getting dental implants is to book in for an initial consultation with our dentist here at Clapham South Dental Centre. Our dentist will assess your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. If you are, our friendly and professional dentist will then be able to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

The actual implant surgery is usually performed over a couple of appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist will make an incision in your gum and place the implant in the jawbone. The second appointment will be scheduled several weeks later, once the implant has had time to heal. During this appointment, we will then attach the crown, bridge, or denture to the implant. After the first appointment, you will have temporary replacement teeth attached, so you don’t need to worry about having gaps in your smile and screws on show!

So, if you are missing teeth, dental implants are a great option to consider. They are a permanent solution that can help you regain your smile and improve your quality of life, as long as you take care of them properly with regular cleaning and coming for routine check-ups. We look forward to exploring the treatment options with you and getting you on the road to having a fabulous smile that you should love forever!

The benefits of Invisalign

1. Discreet treatment

One of the main advantages of Invisalign is its discreet appearance. The aligners are made of clear, BPA-free plastic and are virtually invisible when worn. This makes them an excellent option for adults who want to improve their smile without drawing unwanted attention to their teeth. Invisalign is also a great choice for teenagers who may feel self-conscious about visible braces.

2. Comfortable fit

Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and snug fit. Unlike fixed braces, there are no metal brackets or wires with Invisalign. Instead, the aligners are made from a smooth plastic material, which is gentle on your gums and cheeks, making them a comfortable option to wear in your mouth.

3. Easy maintenance

Maintaining good oral hygiene during your treatment is crucial to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. With Invisalign, you can easily remove the aligners to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would. There are no hard-to-reach areas, which can make brushing and flossing a challenge.

4. Customisable treatment

Invisalign treatment is a bespoke treatment that is designed to meet your unique set of needs. Before beginning treatment, we will take digital impressions of your teeth and create an animation of what your smile will look like after treatment. We also use this to attain the measurements required for your aligners to be made specifically for you in the Invisalign laboratory.

5. Convenient treatment

Invisalign aligners are designed to be worn for 22 hours a day and they can be removed at mealtimes. This means you can still enjoy all of your favourite foods and drinks during treatment without any restrictions. Invisalign treatment also requires fewer visits to see us (although we love seeing you!) and this means more time to enjoy your life!

At Clapham South Dental Centre, we are committed to providing our patients with exceptional care and the latest in dental technology. Our team of experienced dental professionals is dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that you can be proud of.

Complete your smile with dental implants Clapham

At Clapham South Dental Centre, we have a treatment that is a popular option for replacing missing teeth that is convenient, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing. Dental implants Clapham offer a natural look and feel, securely attaching crowns, bridges, or dentures in place, so that you can have a complete smile that you can rely on. dental-implants-clapham

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. Once the implants are in place, they fuse with the jawbone to create a stable base for a replacement crown or bridge. Implants can be used to replace one tooth or multiple teeth, and they can even be used to anchor dentures in place.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants Clapham have many benefits and one of the biggest benefits is that they look and feel like natural teeth. They’re also very comfortable as they are firmly fixed into position and shouldn’t shift or slip. Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. Implants also help to preserve the jawbone, which can shrink over time when teeth are missing. By replacing these teeth, you could even add structure back into your face and look younger!

Dental implant procedure

The dental implant procedure typically takes several weeks to complete. You will first need to have a consultation with our friendly dentist, who is experienced and passionate about this treatment. Dr Aussia is a member of the Association of Dental Implantology and always keeps up-to-date on the latest training and techniques. During a consultation, he will evaluate your teeth and gums to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. We may also need to take x-rays or scans of your mouth to get a better look at your jawbone and determine the best placement for the implants.

Once you have agreed to the treatment, if it is deemed appropriate for you, then you will have the titanium posts implanted into your jawbone and it is to these that your replacement teeth will be attached. This does not require major surgery. You should only need local anaesthetic and, if you are a nervous patient, we may also give you a sedative to help you to relax. The implants will then be left to heal for a few weeks so that they can fuse with your jawbone. After this, we then attach abutments to the posts and they connect the replacement teeth to them. We may need to take impressions of your mouth to create replacement teeth or bridges and these will be custom-made for you to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth. After the replacement teeth are made, we will then attach them to the abutments and this completes the dental implant process.

Caring for dental implants

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. You’ll simply need to brush and floss regularly and visit us for regular check ups and cleanings. You should be able to continue eating all the foods that you enjoy.

So, if you are keen to find out more about dental implants or any of our other treatments, come and see our team at Clapham South Dental Centre. We can’t wait to give you many reasons to smile!
