Briarmeads Dental Practice

Many of us would like to improve something about our smiles - whether our teeth are crooked, chipped, discoloured or misshapen. At Briarmeads Dental Practice in Oadby near Leicester, Market Harborough and Blaby we offer the latest techniques in general and cosmetic dentistry so that you can have a smile that you are proud of.

These days cosmetic dentistry is very often in the news as more and more celebrities take the opportunity to improve their smiles. You may have heard some of the terms or seen them in the press and wondered, "what does that mean?" We hope that this brief guide will go some way to answering your questions.

When you meet anyone for the first time whether it be a date, a job interview or important meeting, a brilliant smile and the confidence that it gives you can make all the difference. Many top celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Cheryl Cole and Miley Cyrus have had smile makeovers to improve their image and instil greater self-confidence.

We are committed to offering our patients the latest and most effective treatments. You may have heard of tooth whitening or seen celebrities that have undergone it, but wondered what exactly is tooth whitening, what is involved and is it suitable for me? Tooth colour is a very individual thing: it can darken as we get older and is affected by food and drinks like tea, coffee, red wine and smoking.

Veneers are thin porcelain facings shaped to fit over the front of your teeth to correct crooked, discoloured or fractured teeth. They can be an alternative to braces, giving you the 'perfect smile' in a very short time. They're basically like false finger-nails for your teeth!

We remove minute amounts of enamel to make room for the veneers on the front of your teeth and once glued to your teeth your veneers will be very strong and look completely natural.We can match them to your own tooth colour or use them to give your teeth a permanently whiter look.
