A cosmetic dentist has many ways to brighten up your smile. At 61 Dental in Stockport we offer a full range of cosmetic treatments, and your cosmetic dentist will work with you to find the perfect solution to suit your needs.

The biggest cosmetic dental complaint in the UK is about the colour of people’s teeth. Some 64% of UK adults are dissatisfied with their current tooth colour. If this applies to you, a consultation with a Stockport cosmetic dentist is the first step to giving your smile back its natural, beautiful lustre.

When you come into our Stockport dental practice for a consultation, the first thing your cosmetic dentist will do is to establish the nature of your tooth discolouration. It may surprise you to learn that the biggest cause of discoloured teeth in the UK is visible dental plaque. This isn’t just an aesthetic issue; plaque is bad news for your health, because it causes both tooth decay and gum disease. These cause a host of problems, and can ultimately lead to tooth loss.

If dental plaque is the cause of your tooth discolouration, you need to see a dental hygienist. They can remove all traces of plaque with a professional tooth clean, and can also provide you with information on how to improve your home brushing and flossing routine to make sure plaque stays away.

Even those with good oral hygiene can find their teeth become stained by a range of lifestyle factors, including drinks such as red wine or coffee, habits such as smoking, and as a side-effect of some medications.

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the world, and is an effective way of combating everyday tooth stains. So long as it is provided by a cosmetic dentist, it is entirely safe and reliable.

At 61 Dental in Stockport we offer two options for teeth whitening: home whitening, or power whitening here in the clinic with a cosmetic dentist.

We can also help with permanent tooth stains at our Stockport clinic. Your cosmetic dentist can use porcelain veneers to improve the appearance of a permanently stained/discoloured tooth.
