How to makeover the appearance with botox in Kent and more
Here at Stangrove Court Dental Practice, we appreciate that our patients want to look great as well as protecting their oral health, therefore offer a choice of solutions to help achieve that. This is our guide for anyone who feels their appearance could do with improvement, and who wants to look and feel their best. We explore options such as botox in Kent, braces and whitening that can all help to take the looks from so-so to vibrant and attractive.
Botox
Botox in Kent is an easy way to restore youthfulness to the face. It is a type of protein that is injected just under the skin for the purposes of minimising the appearance of lines and wrinkles. When administered, it has a relaxing effect on the muscles which causes visible signs of ageing to fade or disappear altogether.
Botox in Kent can be used in several different areas of the face. Many patients use it to target lines across their forehead or frown lines between the eyes. It can also help to soften the area around the eyes and around the mouth. The treatment takes only a few minutes to complete, and the full effect is clearly visible after four to seven days. The time it lasts depends on the individual, but most people find that they do not need to consider a top-up until three months have passed.
Braces
Correcting misaligned teeth is a highly effective means of taking the appearance to a new level. Many people who have teeth that are crooked, overcrowded or protruding did not get the opportunity to have treatment with braces in their younger years. As they grow older, they feel a lack of confidence when it comes to engaging with others and even smiling can become something to be avoided.
Fortunately, it is no longer the case that orthodontic treatment is something that only young people and teenagers can benefit from. It is now commonplace and entirely accepted that adults can get their teeth straightened later in life and enjoy significant improvements in their confidence and self-esteem as a result.
There is lots of choice when it comes to getting braces, and what is most appropriate depends on the patient as an individual and the position of their teeth. However, many patients who get braces later in life find that they are concerned about others being aware of their treatment. They do not want to have to explain it to colleagues or friends and are keen for discretion.
The best options regarding treatment that can be hidden from others are Invisalign and lingual braces. Invisalign is completely invisible, and lingual braces are barely detectable as they are worn behind the teeth rather than in front of them.
Whitening
Whitening the teeth can help a person to look younger and more attractive. We offer two main types of professional whitening. Firstly, there is an at-home treatment. We give our patients specially made trays to be worn over the teeth in conjunction with a whitening product. The trays are worn at night for a couple of weeks. Secondly, there is the option of rapid whitening in our surgery. This can be combined with an at home treatment for even more dazzling results.
