Cosmetic Dentistry 

Alongside keeping your mouth healthy by maintaining healthy teeth and gums, the team at Oriel Villas Dental Surgery can offer everything from a freshen up to a complete smile makeover. Dental treatments include teeth whitening, dental implants, endodontics, Invisalign, white fillings, and customised crowns to name a few. 

Tooth whitening 

Teeth whitening is a safe and highly effective method to transform your smile. Teeth naturally darken with age, and this is completely normal. However, we can achieve a lighter, brighter smile with a home whitening system. At your first dental appointment, your dentist will be able to advise whether you are a suitable candidate for tooth whitening. They will listen to what your dream smile would look like and will take impressions of your teeth.  The impressions will be used to create your tailor-made mouth trays. Once the trays are ready, you can go in for your fitting and your dentist will instruct you as to how to use the whitening gel correctly. You will also have the chance to ask any questions. The trays should be worn overnight or for a short time in the day and the whitening process should be complete within 14 days. Home whitening treatment is particularly good for those people with sensitive teeth. The mouth trays are a perfect fit and will not get the gel on the gums, which can sometimes lead to future gum irritation.  

Composite Bonding 

Composite bonding is a very popular choice for dental restorations and cosmetic treatments. Made from resin, which can perfectly replicate tooth enamel, they are particularly useful when building or recontouring teeth. 

Reasons to choose composite bonding include: - 

• Minimally invasive – often it’s unnecessary to remove any of the natural tooth, which means the procedure is minimally invasive with no recovery time
• Speedy – there is no need for impressions to be taken or lab work to be completed, which makes the process quick and able to be completed in one dental visit.
• Aesthetically pleasing – as the composite gets colour-matched to your existing teeth, they blend in beautifully and no-one needs to know it is there
• Reversible – bonding can be removed or repaired if required for any reason

Digital Dentistry 

The Cheltenham dentist uses the latest technological advances in dentistry to enhance your visit. This digital dentistry means the team can get very precise and accurate scans of your teeth and treatment planning is highly accurate. The intraoral camera can accurately take high quality pictures of teeth and gums, which are used in Invisalign and restorative dentistry treatments. It is highly effective at spotting signs of damage and decay and can accurately look at hard to reach areas of the mouth. The Medit i700 digital intraoral scanner is one of the most advanced orthodontic devices available and can create a 3D image of your teeth in minutes. It completely removes the need for messy impressions being taken of the teeth. More detailed models of the teeth can be made which promotes a better final outcome.

A team of specialists offering advanced care using the innovative and modern technology, the new practice shares a passion for their patients in the heart of Cheltenham. Using mutual co-operation and trust, the team of dentists, specialists, hygienists, dental nurses and administration team offer a comprehensive range of services, including preventative, restorative and cosmetic solutions. The cosmetic solutions include those of orthodontics devices, including Invisalign, lingual braces and metal braces. 

Invisalign 

With the dentist in Cheltenham there are many orthodontic options so that you can choose a procedure that works for you and your life. One of these options is Invisalign: a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth quickly and comfortably. A series of aligners are produced to get your smile to where you want it. Each aligner is worn for 20-22 hours a day for a week or two. The end result being a straighter, more aligned smile that you can be proud of. Invisalign offers a more comfortable method of straightening, meaning you can remove them for meals and tooth brushing meaning you don’t have to change your eating and oral hygiene habits. The aligners must not be worn when eating, smoking or drinking anything other than room temperature water. Invisalign in Cheltenham is a preferred option for those with busy schedules and who want to straighten their teeth with minimal fuss and without anyone noticing. 

Lingual Braces 

Sometimes known as incognito braces, lingual braces in Cheltenham are the same as metal ‘train track’ braces, except that they are fitted to the inside of your teeth as opposed to the outside where everyone can see them. Because of where they are situated, they take longer to adapt and place and are therefore more expensive. However this type of orthodontic treatment is preferrable for those with professional and social reasons requiring orthodontic treatment to go unnoticed. If you are embarrassed to smile or show your teeth and have been considering orthodontic treatment, call a member of the friendly team today to book an appointment or gain further information.

This vision is also reflected throughout the team of specialists, dentists, hygienists, dental nurses, and administration team, who all pride themselves on providing excellence and an outstanding patient journey. 

Cheltenham & Cotswold Dental in Cheltenham offers a comprehensive range of dental treatments. This includes cosmetic dentistry options, such as teeth whitening and orthodontics, alongside family dentistry, children’s dentistry, sedation for nervous patients, and even facial aesthetics. 

The dental practice has been expanded to include a state-of-the-art ground floor surgery. This hosts all the latest technical innovations, including a 3D CT Scanner, which can assist in the planning of more complex dental treatment cases. 

Orthodontics 

The three clinicians involved in teeth straightening (orthodontics) at the practice are all highly qualified specialist orthodontists. This means patients are in expert hands as the team has received additional training to deliver outstanding results, using all the available techniques and orthodontic appliances, which we explore further below:- 

Invisalign – This innovative tooth straightening option transforms your smile comfortably and discreetly. A series of virtually invisible custom-made aligners are made for the patient. These are changed every few weeks and each Invisalign aligner gently moves the teeth into the desired position. With modern 3D technology, it is possible for the patient to see how their teeth will look in the final stage before treatment even begins. The aligners need to be worn for 20-22 hours per day but can be removed for cleaning teeth, eating, and drinking. 

Gold Braces – Iconix ^TM pads are stuck to the teeth. These are contoured for maximum comfort and are smaller than standard brackets. The light gold colour is aesthetically pleasing, and the wires blend discreetly. 

Clear Braces – these are less noticeable than metal brackets as it uses tooth-coloured ceramic or plastic brackets and tooth-coloured wires. 

Metal Braces – these use small metal brackets, which are stuck on the front surface of the teeth. A metal wire is passed through each bracket and held in place by a little elastic. The patient can choose different colours for the elastic, which is great for children. 

Incognito/Lingual Braces – this is the latest advancement in orthodontics and its gold brackets are fitted to the inside surface of your teeth, rather than the outer surface, which makes them virtually invisible. The treatment results are reliable and very effective. 

Removable Braces – these are for short treatments of around six months, they are clipped onto the back teeth and are removed only for cleaning, eating, and contact sports. 

Functional Braces – these are used in children who are still growing. There are two parts to the brace, one for the upper and one for the lower. They are worn for around 22 hours per day and are only removed for cleaning, eating, and contact sports. 

If you are interested in any of these teeth straightening options or if you would just like an outstanding, state of the art dental practice for the entire family, then look no further.
