Removing staining on enamel (the outer part of the tooth) is called “extrinsic whitening.” The stains left behind by smoking or drinking red wine, tea, or coffee are usually easily removed with a polish by your hygienist at a teeth cleaning or with polishing and whitening toothpaste. When you remove stains, you’re simply exposing the color of the dentin by clearing enamel of stains. This can make teeth appear whiter, but it doesn’t physically change tooth color.

Teeth veneers are thin ceramic ‘shells’ placed over your existing teeth and are proven to vastly improve the appearance of your smile. This is a popular treatment choice for many people wanting a smile makeover and is the treatment of choice in many celebrity smile makeovers. Here at the Smile Practice all our porcelain veneers are hand-crafted by a ceramic technician to ensure that you the unique smile of your dreams. The colour, shape and character of every tooth will be discussed with you at your consultation to ensure the end result is just how you want it. If you are considering teeth veneers or want to discuss if they are suitable for you, book your initial consultation at our Didcot or Oxford clinic.

Teeth whitening diet. Do you want to have healthy teeth and gums? Here are several tricks: Chew Gum That Contains Xylitol: Multiple studies have shown that chewing gum that contains xylitol twice daily helps fight tooth decay by lowering plaque buildup. Brands like Trident make gums with this ingredient, so pick up a pack and get chewing if you’re looking to whiten your teeth. The antibiotic tetracycline causes gray teeth in children whose teeth are still developing. Antibacterial mouthwashes that contain chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride can also stain teeth. Some antihistamines, antipsychotic drugs, and blood pressure medications cause tooth stains, as can iron and excess fluoride. If bleaching doesn’t help, ask your dentist about dental bonding, in which a tooth-colored material is applied to teeth.

The majority of people regularly remove unwanted hair from their body but this requires continual and often painful upkeep. Methods such as shaving, waxing and epilating are all only temporary and can often result in rashes or ingrown hair. Laser hair removal utilises the most modern laser technology to decrease the growth of unwanted hair for permanent manageability. The laser uses a narrow beam of light that targets hair follicles and disrupts their growth.

Your lips will not only appear more attractive, they’ll also feel healthier, softer and more hydrated. You may not be happy with the natural size and shape of your lips or the fact that the ageing process has caused them to become thin and lack definition. Lip enhancement treatments are a safe and natural way to create lips that make you feel beautiful and can combat fine smokers’ lines, issues including lack of volume, wrinkles, smile lines, cupid’s bows, lowered corners and oral commissures. Lip treatments can also dramatise the impact of lipstick and minimise ‘lipstick bleed’ which sometimes occurs at the lip border. At The Smile Practice, we are your trusted aestheticians, offering you the best lip filler treatments in Oxford & Didcot.

Our orthodontists decided on the following five teeth straightening treatments for our Didcot and Oxford practices: The Smile Practice is Oxfordshire’s biggest provider of the Invisalign orthodontic brace system. Invisalign is probably the most popular teeth straightening product in the world at the moment. It’s a clear brace that’s custom-made for your mouth which covers all of your teeth. Over time, the braces gently guide your teeth into the position you agree with your orthodontists at your consultation meeting. For patients looking for quick and effective results, ask your Didcot or Oxford orthodontist about Six Month Smiles. Six Month Smiles borrows from the tried and tested wire technology but they offer real discretion through the use of comfortable-fitting clear brackets and wires which are the same colour as your teeth.
