ENHANCE your smile At Ascent Dental Care, our purpose is to ensure that you smile with confidence. First and foremost, we make sure you have good oral health and can then work with you to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

From the moment you walk through the door, it is our job to look after you, providing you with excellent customer service and access to the highest quality of dental care and latest procedures, and all in comfortable, modern surroundings.

Cosmetic dentistry is a method of professional oral care that focuses on improving the appearance of your mouth, teeth, gums and overall smile. Although cosmetic dentistry procedures are usually elective, rather than essential, they can help provide both restorative and self-confidence benefits. We can enhance your smile in many ways, from the latest teeth straightening treatments to creating a brighter, whiter smile with teeth whitening or veneers.

SMILE makeovers A smile makeover is the process of improving the appearance of your smile through one or more cosmetic procedures. With our state-of-the-art technology we can redesign a cosmetically enhanced, new and improved smile for you. Our smile design principles and cosmetic treatments are used to modify the appearance of either crooked, gappy, discoloured, decayed, and broken-down teeth, or a combination of the above.

WHAT would you change about your smile?

The colour?

The shape?

Teeth whitening is one option, helping to improve the colour of stained or dulled teeth through professional whitening gels or laser treatment. You can also replace your silver-coloured fillings with natural, tooth-coloured composite restorations. Our cosmetic dentists are skilled at finding you the correct shade to provide you with a brighter smile whilst maintaining a natural tooth colour.

Subtle changes can be made with tooth shaping and contouring. Bonding is when we add material to the tooth, and whilst enamel shaping is not a huge change, it can help to refine your teeth and significantly improve your smile.

Missing teeth?

Teeth can be straightened with orthodontics (braces).

Although braces are associated with younger patients, it’s become more common for adults to have their teeth straightened too. We offer a few options to get your teeth on the straight and narrow, from modern clear aligners and traditional fixed braces to the increasingly popular lingual braces.

We know that one or more missing teeth can negatively affect the appearance of your smile and lead to low confidence. It can also affect your bite because the remaining teeth are under more pressure. Missing teeth can be replaced by, bridges, dental implants or dentures.

Gaps or crooked teeth?

Here at Ascent Dental Care, we treat each of our patients individually and understand that people’s teeth change throughout their lives, so their requirements are unique and personal. Whether you’re looking to straighten, reshape, close up gaps, lighten or enhance your teeth, your treatment will be completely bespoke and tailored to your needs. A great smile can increase your self-confidence and improve your self-esteem.

eeth whitenin

Smile brighter, healthier and happier It seems most of the things we love to eat and drink stain our teeth, from teas and coffees to curries, so it’s no surprise that teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today.

Helping to lighten the appearance of natural teeth without removing any of the tooth surface, such as the enamel, professional teeth whitening from your dentist is the most effective way to get visible and impressive results safely. Your dentist knows how the procedure works and can guide you through the teeth whitening process safely, including making sure you are dentally fit before undertaking any treatment.

We use premium whitening brands to help you achieve a bright, white smile. These systems allow us to offer you the options of a ‘take-home’ whitening kit with custommade trays as well as in-chair treatment to deliver stunning results.

Want the whitest shade?

We can take you to the whitest you can go – ensuring long-lasting results with low sensitivity to give you a bright white smile.

Want whiter teeth at home?

With different strengths of bleaching gels available to suit your schedule and sensitivity, our home teeth whitening offers a gentle way to get a brighter shade to suit your lifestyle.

Want white teeth fast?

teeth straightening Let’s get things straight Orthodontic treatment with braces, also known as teeth straightening, is a way of straightening or moving the teeth to improve how they look and function. With the right diagnosis and treatment, they can help to address cosmetic concerns such as re-aligning crooked or crowded teeth, fix bite problems, and improve oral health. Treatment works by having braces fitted to put pressure on the teeth for extended periods of time, slowly and safely moving them into the correct and desired position.

WHAT are my straightening options?

There’s not a one size fits all solution to straightening teeth. Depending on your cosmetic needs, timeframes and budget, we offer a few options to get your teeth back on the straight and narrow. Our patients have access to an unrivalled choice of teeth-straightening options, combining the most advanced technologies and materials with fast treatment times.

Discreet clear aligners No wires, brackets or braces, just high-tech clear aligner systems including Invisalign and Clear Correct to improve your smile quickly and discreetly.

repair, restore, reshape & crowns. for beauty and strength

white fillings. repair teeth aesthetically.

WHAT are they?

WHAT are they?

If your teeth have become broken or weakened by decay, then a dental crown can provide a strong aesthetic enhancement to restoring your smile.

You can have your teeth repaired aesthetically with composite resin or ‘white fillings’. Forget silver amalgam (metal-based) fillings that show when you talk, laugh, or smile. With our ‘tooth-coloured’ white fillings we offer a fast, gentle and more aesthetic solution to filling cavities, restoring your tooth back to its full strength and appearance whilst preventing any further damage and decay. They can also be used to close gaps and improve the shape of any uneven, rough or crooked teeth.

Bespoke crowns are an artificial restoration that fit over the remaining part of a prepared tooth to get your teeth working again. They are extremely durable and are commonly used when a lot of the original tooth is missing, through damage, decay or wear. With bespoke crowns, we can restore the strength you need to chew properly as well as transform tired-looking teeth into a beautiful, natural, healthy-looking smile.

WHAT are my options?

•

Implant-retained – closest thing to your own natural teeth

•

Cemented in place on the prepared tooth underneath

•

Dental bridge – fully loaded with crowns to replace missing teeth

WILL people know I’ve got crowns?

The crown will be made to closely match the shade of your teeth so it shouldn’t be noticeable. At first you may feel more aware of it, but after a few days you won’t notice it.

WHAT are the benefits?

White cosmetic appearance: made to match the colour of your natural teeth and blend in naturally.

Less damage to your teeth: do not require extensive drilling of the cavity so can save a greater part of your healthy tooth.

Strengthens tooth: bonded to your tooth with laser or UV light and can prevent it from further damage.

Strong and long-lasting: to maintain a natural-looking smile.

& revive your smile porcelain veneers. enhancing smiles.

composite bonding. versatile transformations.

WHAT are they?

WHAT is it?

Ideal for hiding chips and gaps, smooth irregularities, correct misalignments and whiten teeth that are stubbornly stained, porcelain veneers create the illusion of a straighter, whiter and more aligned smile in as little as two weeks.

Composite bonding uses a dental resin material that is functional but looks natural and is aesthetically pleasing.

This versatile material can be used for veneers, white fillings, bonding and composite build-ups.

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, just like a false fingernail fits over a nail! It is applied to the front of your teeth to make them look uniform and pristine. They are great at resisting stains and mimic your teeth in reflecting light, so no one will realise that you’ve even got them!

WHAT are the benefits?

•

Help mask intrinsic staining

•

Close small gaps and repair chipped teeth

•

Will whiten teeth permanently

•

Colour matched to blend with your natural teeth

•

Short treatment time and instant results

•

Stain-resistant and durable

Composite build-ups are created using different layers of a resin material that is ‘cured’ and bonded in place. They allow us to manipulate the white filling material to create whiter, more harmonious and symmetrical smiles ‘free style’ by hand, often in just one visit.

tooth recontouring. reshaping your smile.

WHAT is it?

Tooth recontouring allows us to alter the length, shape and surface of your teeth. The procedure is straightforward, pain-free and minimally invasive, which means that we can often provide ‘wow’ results in just one visit.

Tooth recontouring can be used in combination with many other cosmetic dental treatments but is often used as a standalone procedure for patients wanting a low-cost, instant ‘mini-makeover.
