gum sculpting london

The terms ‘gum contouring’ and ‘gum sculpting’ are used to refer to a surgical procedure where a person's gum line is repositioned so a greater percentage of that person's teeth is revealed. Too much gum or uneven gum levels can detract from an otherwise great looking smile. This can be painlessly corrected by simple gum sculpting.

There can be many variations when it comes to the exact manner in which gum sculpting is performed. In all cases the specifics of the procedure need to be discussed with the prospective patient by the dentist who will perform the procedure after the dentist has examined the patient. However, although gum sculpting is technically a surgical process, a person may find that it is much less troublesome than they might have anticipated. You only need to consult your dentist for specific details.

best cosmetic bonding services

While any general dentist can legally announce that he or she is a cosmetic dentist, and many dentists do cosmetic bonding, it is recommend that any patient who wants cosmetic bonding only, go to a dentist with extensive post-graduate training in cosmetic dentistry.

A cosmetic bonding is usually a one-visit procedure. The tooth is prepared by lightly roughening the area to be repaired, which usually doesn't require anesthetic. Then the surface of the tooth is etched with a gel, and a treatment of bonding primers and resins is applied to the tooth. Finally the composite is applied.

At The Welbeck Clinic the cosmetic dentists provide the best cosmetic bonding services for its clients so that a healthy, good-looking, natural smile is something that all can enjoy.
