Healthy, straight teeth are possible with our dentist

It is important that you visit our dentist in central London on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth are clean and strong and that your gums are healthy and free of disease. If you avoid the dentist then there are many issues which can develop in your mouth that are asymptomatic to begin with, but can result in unpleasant symptoms very quickly. This includes cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. You may have an unexplained toothache one day, but in actual fact our dentist in central London may find that a hole has developed in one of your teeth which has grown larger, causing bacteria to enter it and infect the inside of the tooth resulting in tooth decay. You may notice that your gums are bleeding when you brush your teeth. This could be because plaque and tartar have built up on your teeth and over time crept underneath the gum line and resulted in gum disease. If however you visit the dentist at least once every six months, more often if possible, then these issues can be detected very early on, before they can cause unpleasant symptoms and disrupt your daily life.

Here at Cannon Street Dental Centre our dentist in central London is able to offer a full range of preventive dental treatment, restorative dental treatment and cosmetic dental treatment to meet all your dental requirements and help you enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile for the rest of your life.

Straight teeth are healthier teeth

If you visit the dentist on a regular basis and are looking for ways to improve your dental health further, then you may wish to speak to our dentist and find out about teeth straightening. By straightening your teeth you will reduce the levels of bacteria in your mouth. This is because teeth that are straight and symmetrical are easier to clean and there are less hard-to-reach areas in which bacteria and food particles may linger. This means you will have less chance of developing cavities, tooth decay or gum disease.

Invisalign

Here at our centre we are pleased to offer Invisalign clear aligners for teeth straightening as an excellent alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment. With Invisalign clear aligners you can reap the benefits of a neatly aligned smile without anyone noticing that you are undergoing dental treatment. The aligners are removable which means you can carry on with your daily activities without your dental treatment getting in the way. This includes enjoying your favourite meals and maintaining good dental hygiene throughout the day without fixed braces getting in the way. They are 3-D printed which means they’re also very comfortable to wear. With Invisalign you can straighten your teeth in approximately 12 months time and enjoy the results for the rest of your life.

Speak to us at Cannon Street Dental Centre today. It is very important that you and your family visit us at least once every six months, more often if you are prone to dental health issues, because we hope to help you enjoy a beautiful and healthy smile at all stages of your life.
