DENTAL AIRFLOW

August 23, 2021

SO MUCH MORE THAN A SCALE AND POLISH

What is Airflow Polishing?

Airflow is a powerful dental hygiene treatment that dramatically cleans and polishes your teeth using a combination of jet water, air, and sodium bicarbonate.

How does Airflow polishing work?

Airflow’s nozzle with shoot out a high pressured and concentrated blast of water, air, and bicarbonate (usually a lemon flavour) at the surfaces of your teeth. Airflow is very effective at cleaning teeth and will also clean the hard to reach places (nooks and cranny’s), leaving you feeling very fresh.

The combination of the air, water, and bicarbonate has been proven to be effective at tackling tough stains and plaque, and you will be able to leave with much cleaner teeth than a normal hygiene visit.

What are the benefits of AirFlow ?

Airflow has plenty of benefits in comparison to a normal scale and polish.

First and foremost, it is much more effective at cleaning.

The jet is not only capable of polishing the surfaces of your teeth and removing plaque build-up, it can also reach up to 5mm into periodontal pockets for more efficient cleaning.

Using Airflow is also much quicker than regular methods of stain and plaque removal.

Airflow can actually help reduce the sensitivity of your teeth.This is due to the bicarbonate in the jet, which can fill any exposed dentine tubules and help re-mineralize teeth.

5 Reasons To Book Your Airflow Polishing

1. Effective cleaning: removes stains and plaque by shooting a high pressured blast of water, bicarbonate and air through its small nozzle.

2. Patient’s comfort: no more scraping tools digging into your gums, with this new cleaning method the treatment is painless, fast and above all non-invasive.

3. For sensitive teeth: the absence of direct contact, heat and vibration makes this treatment ideal for those patients who have sensitive teeth.

4. Fast cleaning: research has shown that the Airflow polishing method is three times faster than any traditional method and it also causes less damage to the teeth.

5. Pre-orthodontic treatment: the Airflow method is ideal to use before any orthodontic treatment at Neem Dental Clinic, as it cleans the tooth surfaces removing nearly 100 percent of bacteria and endotoxins making your teeth ready for any bonding procedure.

Wedding Day Smiles

August 18, 2021

Everyone wants to look their best on their wedding day. The very first thing people notice about you is your smile and your teeth. On your special day, make sure yous smile is the best it can be!

Wedding Day Planning

As part of the wedding process try to factor in your dental appointments. You will need to consider in the time taken to carry out the dental treatment. At the very least, we recommend that you visit the dental hygienist in the weeks before your wedding.

What options for treatment do you have?

Pre-wedding treatments depend on your smle goals how long you have before your wedding.

Get your teeth sparkly and clean for your wedding day

A simple visit to the dental hygienist can ensure your teeth are clean before your big day. This is a 30 minute appointment and can be carried out in the days leading to your wedding.

A deep polish

Have an air polish to remove any deep set stains. This is a 30 minute appointment and can be carried out in the days leading to your wedding.

Tooth whitening to improve the colour of your teeth

There are many tooth whitening options available to you. However, you should leave at least 6 weeks before your wedding to have this treatment carried out. That allows enough time to ensure you get a great result. See our tooth whitening page for more information.

Composite bonding

We can carry out minor tooth modifications with tooth coloured fillings to improve your smile. Again, we advise this is carried out a minimum of 6 weeks before your wedding. Longer, if you are combining with tooth whitening.

Dental Veneers

These are porcelain laminate shells that fit onto the front of your teeth. They require only very minimal preparation of your teeth. We recommend that this treatment is provided at least three months before your wedding day.

Smile Makeover

Many patients consider a smile makeover. This is not actually any one treatment, but a combination of one or more of the above treatments. The time taken to complete the treatment depends on which treatments you undergo.

Make Your Wedding More Special With Your Perfect Smile

August 3, 2021

THE PERFECT ADDITION TO ANY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE

A stunning smile on your wedding day is just as important as your wedding dress – it’s your most important accessory! It completes your look fantastically and you will be able to see how wonderful you looked on this big day for years to come.

Cosmetic dentistry can help to create a wonderful smile for your big day increasing your confidence and self-esteem. You will be able to smile confidently in every photograph and really focus on enjoying the day rather than covering up your smile with your hand when you laugh.

Cosmetic smile improvements can be created from any of the following treatments:

  • Hygienist stain removal treatments. This is a perfect procedure if you have essentially good teeth but simply suffer from staining from food and drink. Your concern can easily be rectified in a single appointment. This is an ideal visit to brighten your smile several days before your wedding.
  • Teeth whitening. This is a simple treatment often carried out at home with a special teeth whitening kit. This should be done about three weeks before the “big day” for ideal results.
  • Cosmetic veneers. This treatment can be used to a beautiful smile in a single appointment with bonding techniques using tooth-colored materials. Alternatively, a stunning smile makeover can be created with more cosmetically enhanced porcelain veneers. This type of treatment takes about 4 weeks, so could be considered as an option a month before the wedding.
  • Orthodontic teeth straightening. If you have a few months still to go you can opt for a more conservative approach using inconspicuous braces or aligners to straighten any crooked teeth or to close spaces between teeth. This treatment can take from 4-9 months and can help restore your smile for the big day.
  • Enamel and/or gum reshaping. Sometimes a simple conservative approach that entails reshaping of your gums and teeth can have a huge impact on the resulting smile. This treatment could take about half an hour and could be carried out in conjunction with the hygiene visit. This treatment could be carried out a week before your dream day.

We can customize your treatment plan to suit your specific needs in terms of time, budget and choices of treatment. Let us help make your big day more memorable with a great smile that you can show off to all.

Special Wedding Packages are available for the bride & groom or mother & bride. Please call us for more information.

“You can now enjoy your special day, and have amazing photos to cherish,  rather than covering up your smile.”

A smile makeover with Teeth Whitening

It’s easy to see why teeth whitening has become such a popular treatment in the last few years. Having sparkling white teeth looks and feels amazing! Teeth whitening can transform the appearance of your teeth and update your entire appearance. Professional teeth whitening can instantly boost your confidence and make you feel great. 

Teeth naturally become discoloured over time. They get darker with age as well as through the food and drink that we consume. Smoking can quickly stain and discolour teeth too. Teeth whitening can swiftly, painlessly and affordably bring back the sparkle. 

Teeth whitening in Harrow

At Neem Dental Clinic Harrow, we recommend that you only get your teeth whitened with treatment that has been overseen by your dentist. Teeth whitening kits that you buy online or over the counter can be risky to the health of your teeth and gums as well as your general health. 

Teeth whitening at home 

We make you unique teeth whitening trays which fit only your teeth. You then wear these trays for a set amount of time at home and they are filled with a special teeth whitening gel that has been prescribed by our dentists. We use two brands for this type of treatment – Boutique whitening and Pola whitening.

What makes a selfie-worthy smile?

July 3, 2021

Now more than ever, all eyes are on our smiles.

This is the selfie generation. We snap selfies everywhere we go, to show the world where we’ve been and who we’re with.

Our faces are everywhere online. Facebook. Instagram. Tinder. We are judged by complete strangers and people we barely know, with nothing more to go on than one snapshot of our lives. A status update. A profile photo.

We make decisions quickly. To follow or unfollow? Friend or unfriend? Swipe right or swipe left?

Want Great Selfies? Take Care of Your Teeth

Excellent dental care and good hygiene are essential for oral health. Dental care also keeps your teeth looking great. Routine care is a vital component of a terrific smile. There are also lots of cosmetic procedures your family dentist can provide to improve your smile.

  • Keep up with check-ups and cleanings every six months.
  • Professional whitening in your dentist’s office is the best way to achieve dramatic results. Whitening systems like take-home treatments that combine the stunning results of an in-clinic treatment with custom trays you take home for follow-up. Those take-home trays allow you to keep your teeth whiter longer and touch up at home as day-to-day staining happens.
  • Veneers can help if you’re hesitant to smile because of stained, chipped or badly-shaped teeth. They’re custom-made shells that cover the front side of your teeth, allowing you to have the size, shape and color of your dreams.
  • When your teeth have minor cosmetic issues such as a small chip or discoloration, dental bonding is an easy, relatively quick and affordable solution. By applying a tooth-colored composite resin (plastic) material to a tooth and hardening it with a light, the tooth receives restoration that protects the area from further damage and improves your smile and confidence.

Cosmetic Bonding in Harrow

Improve Your Smile with Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Cosmetic Bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-coloured resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve person’s smile.

What is Cosmetic Bonding?

Cosmetic Bonding can be considered to fix the following dental issues:

  • To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
  • To repair chipped or cracked teeth
  • To improve the appearance of discoloured teeth
  • To close spaces between teeth
  • To make teeth look longer
  • To change the shape of teeth
  • As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
  • To protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede
Cosmetic Bonding Procedure

Cosmetic Bonding takes little to no preparation. Your Neem dentist will match the shade of your existing teeth to select a composite resin colour that will closely match the colour of your tooth.

There are two forms of Cosmetic Bonding: direct composite bonding and adhesive bonding

Direct Composite Bonding – This is the process where dentists use tooth-coloured composites white or natural-looking materials) to fill cavities, repair chips or cracks, close gaps between your teeth and build up the worn-down edges of teeth. The composite materials may also be directly applied and sculpted to the surfaces of teeth that show most prominently when you smile, for minimally invasive smile makeovers. In the dental world these are called direct composite veneers but generically known by most to be called “bonding.”

Adhesive Bonding – This is the process of attaching a restoration to a tooth. This method is commonly used for aesthetic crowns, porcelain veneers, bridges and inlays/onlays. After your Neem dentist has chosen a colour that matches the shade of your teeth, he/she will roughen the surface of the tooth using a gentle phosphoric acid solution. Soon after the roughing agent is removed, a liquid bonding agent is applied. The tooth-coloured putty-like resin is applied to the tooth, then moulded and smoothed until it’s in the desired shape. The material is then hardened with an ultraviolet curing light, and the previous step is repeated until the filing or direct composite veneer has reached its final shape. Your Neem dentist will then polish the material until it matches the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.

Pros and Cons of Cosmetic Bonding

Pros – Cosmetic Bonding is one of the most common and least expensive of cosmetic dentistry procedures. It can usually be done in one short visit unless multiple teeth are involved. Another advantage to bonding is that compared to veneers and crowns, it requires little to no removal of tooth enamel. Most procedures involving dental bonding do not require anaesthesia.

Cons – The material used in dental bonding is not as strong as your real teeth, so biting on fingernails or chewing on pens can actually chip the material. Bonding only lasts a few years before it needs to be repaired and is not as strong as other restorative procedures, such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. It is also not as stain resistant as crowns.

Because there are some limitations to the restorative impacts that bonding can have, some dentists may view it as best suited for small cosmetic changes, for temporary correction of cosmetic defects, and for correction of teeth in areas of very low bite pressure (for example, front teeth). Your Neem dentist will be able to tell you if bonding is right for you or may make other recommendations relative to your personal conditions.

Flexible dentures are a type of partial denture, which are typically constructed of nylon, or other thin thermoplastics, which differ significantly from the thicker, harder acrylic that is often used in normal dentures. This helps make these types of dentures a lot more bendable and flexible, giving rise to their popular name.

As flexible dentures are made up of softer, more comfortable materials, people of all ages often prefer them over regular dentures. However, it is always best to consult with your dentist or denture technician with regards to which type of dentures will best suit you, your needs and requirements.

Losing your teeth can be difficult, but it doesn’t necessarily mean saying goodbye to your smile. There are a range of denture options to choose from, accommodating a variety of different people, teeth and mouth types.

Oral Hygiene – Harrow – Neem Dental Clinic

May 15, 2021

Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth clean, and is considered to be the best means of prevention of cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, periodontitis, and other dental disorders. It also helps to prevent bad breath (halitosis).

Oral hygiene is necessary for all persons to maintain the health of their teeth and mouth. Healthy teeth have fewer cavities. They are clean and have minimal or no plaque deposits. Healthy gums are pink and firm.

Oral hygiene consists of both personal and professional care. Dental X-rays (radiographs) are often performed as part of routine professional examinations.

Why do I need to see a Hygienist?

Regular tooth cleaning by the dentist or dental hygienist is important to remove plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult for a patient to reach on his own at home. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Most dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every six months.

Even if you do a great job of cleaning your teeth yourself and are religious about using dental floss, you still need professional cleanings. Dental hygienists use special techniques, instruments, and their professional training to complete oral hygiene that is impossible to do yourself. In addition, these professionals will examine your mouth as well as your teeth.

How does sensitivity happen?

How does sensitivity happen?

March 16, 2021

How does sensitivity happen?

There are several causes for sensitivity, since dentine can be exposed in a number of ways.

  • You may have a broken or cracked tooth, or you may have a hole as a result of tooth decay which now needs a filling.
  • Over-brushing your teeth (too hard or for too long) can wear down your tooth enamel.
  • Acidic food and drink can erode your enamel.* Receding gums can slowly expose the root of your tooth, which doesn’t have an enamel layer. This can occur naturally or through gum disease, including gingivitis.
  • Poor-quality cosmetic teeth whitening treatments can cause damage to your enamel.If you grind your teeth, you can wear away your enamel or even the whole tooth.

Can tooth sensitivity be treated or avoided?

  • Make sure you have regular check-ups with your dentist and see your hygienist whenever you’re referred.* Follow your dentist’s or hygienist’s advice for looking after your teeth at home.
  • Visit your dentist as soon as you suspect you may have a problem such as a cavity, a cracked tooth or a change in your gums. Treatment can stop things getting worse.
  • Your dentist might recommend a fluoride gel, rinse or varnish. These can gradually build up the protective layer of your teeth.* Avoid sugary, fizzy and acidic foods and drinks.
  • Don’t brush your teeth from side to side – instead, use small, circular motions.Looking for a dentist to help you with sensitive teeth?
