Cosmetic Dentistry available at The Crofts Dental Practice, Epping.
At the Crofts Dental Practice in Epping, we offer a range of cosmetic treatments to help improve the appearance of your smile.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Dentistry is no longer just a case of filling and extracting teeth, as it was for many years. Nowadays, many people turn to cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry’, as a way of improving their appearance, much as they would use cosmetic surgery or even a new hairstyle. The treatments can be used to straighten, lighten, reshape and repair teeth. Cosmetic treatments include veneers, crowns, bridges, tooth-coloured fillings, implants and teeth whitening.
Teeth Whitening
Your teeth can become heavily stained from everyday foods and drinks such as tea and coffee. Smoking can cause a “yellowing” of the teeth. Even with a perfect oral hygiene routine these stains can be difficult to remove.
At Crofts Dental Practice in Epping we can give you a brighter smile using our in-surgery Zoom laser tooth whitening system. Our in-surgery 1-hour Zoom laser tooth whitening system can dramatically whiten teeth by up to several shades, allowing you to smile with confidence. Get the smile of your dreams, with The Crofts Dental Practice and Zoom Advanced Power - a winning combination. To compliment this we also provide home whitening kits with a customised tray to achieve a longer lasting, confident white smile.
Here are a couple of example of what can be achieved:

Veneers
Veneers are wafer thin shells of tooth coloured porcelain that are “bonded” to the front surface of teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. They are typically used to cover stained, misaligned or chipped and broken teeth. They are the treatment of choice used to create the “celebrity smile”.

Bridges
If you have one or more missing teeth, then a dental bridge can be used to restore the resulting gaps. Teeth on either side of the gap are resized and strengthened, these teeth then act as anchors and the bridge is attached to these, filling the missing space and restoring your confidence in your smile. One of the most crucial skills in the placement of the bridge is too create the illusion that the missing tooth emerges from the gum, with our skills at the Crofts dental Practice, we can ensure that no one will ever know that you had a missing tooth.
Bridge. Before and After.
Implants
People lose teeth all the time, either through trauma when teeth are knocked out (athletes such as rugby players and boxers commonly experience this) or due to decay, gum disease or old age. Whatever the reason for losing your teeth they need to be replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons. The most common treatments for missing teeth are either a denture or a fixed bridge. However, dental implants are now becoming a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue.
Implant. Before and After
A dental implant is an artificial substitute / replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth and is anchored into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily with bone tissue. During the placement of a dental implant the goal is to achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the surrounding bone tissue so they can “fuse” together (osseointegration) creating a stable support for the new teeth.
