Teeth whitening: the perfect way to boost your smile in time for a special occasion

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the world. Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth offers home-based whitening treatment using custom-made mouth trays, meaning that you can carry out the procedure with ease in the comfort of your own home, safe in the knowledge that the results will be predictable and beautiful, whilst the treatment itself will be gentle on your teeth.

teeth-whiteningThe importance of a dentist for teeth whitening treatment must never be underestimated. At our Bournemouth clinic we are aware that there are many products available online and on the high street that claim to lighten the colour of your teeth, but these should be avoided.

In the best-case scenario, internet or shop-bought whitening products will have little effect, and won’t produce the bright, white smile you’ve been dreaming of. But in some cases, particularly with products purchased from overseas or delivered by unlicensed practitioners such as beauticians can contain dangerously high levels of hydrogen peroxide, which can cause serious damage to your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures.

A dentist will provide treatment that is tried, tested, and safe. At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth we use the popular White Dental Beauty teeth whitening system. This system has been designed not just to provide beautiful, reliable results, but also to do so safely, minimising the risk of sensitivity, keeping the teeth hydrated during treatment, and having a pleasant minty flavour so that your mouth will feel hygienist fresh.

You will first need to come into our Bournemouth clinic for impressions to be taken of your teeth, so that your teeth whitening mouth trays can be made to fit precisely. When the trays are ready you will be called back to check they fit, and will be provided with White Dental Beauty teeth whitening gel.

For lightly stained teeth treatment typically takes a fortnight, during which you wear your trays overnight. Heavier staining will still be rectified by teeth whitening, but treatment will take a little longer – typically three to four weeks.

How an emergency dentist will treat tooth pain and dental abscesses

An emergency dentist is required if you have unbearable toothache, with or without a painful swelling known as a dental abscess. Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth endeavours to see urgent cases on the same day whenever possible. The earlier you contact the practice, the more likely it is that an emergency dentist appointment will be available that same day.

emergency-dentist-bournemouthNumerous things constitute a dental emergency. Here we look at what your Bournemouth emergency dentist can do in cases of unbearable tooth pain and dental abscesses.

Pain is the body’s indicator that something is wrong and requires attention. Dental pain can be severe and can make it difficult to concentrate, eat, drink, and sleep. At the first sign of toothache you should book an appointment with a dentist at our Bournemouth clinic. Mild or intermittent pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief until your appointment.

If tooth pain is severe, is accompanied by swelling, or suddenly gets worse to the point your painkillers stop working, an emergency dentist is needed.

Tooth decay is the most common cause of toothache, although it can also be caused by trauma to the teeth (even a small chip or crack can cause problems should bacteria get inside your tooth) and by lost fillings or crowns.

A dental abscess is caused by infection entering a tooth and is characterised by pain and swelling. Abscesses can be in the tooth, the gum, or the jaw bone.

When you come to our Bournemouth clinic with toothache and/or an abscess, your emergency dentist will first identify the cause of the pain, using x-rays to aid diagnosis as necessary. In the case of decay they will remove the decayed area and fill the tooth. A lost or damaged crown or filling will also be removed and replaced.

If infection has caused an abscess, your Bournemouth emergency dentist may drain it under local anaesthetic. Severe infection may require a course of antibiotics, and infected teeth usually need root canal treatment to remove all traces of infection.

Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic at our Bournemouth clinic and needs at least two appointments.

How an emergency dentist can treat lost or broken teeth

Bournemouth practice Queens Park Dental team offers emergency dentist appointments every day. The earlier you contact the practice, the more likely it is that we will be able to see you on the same day. Contact us on 01202 303322 if you need the services of an emergency dentist in Bournemouth.

emergency-dentistMany conditions can be classed as a dental emergency. Here we look at what your Bournemouth emergency dentist can do in the case of lost or broken teeth.

Teeth are vulnerable to accidental damage, and blows to the head or face often result in one or more teeth being lost or broken. There are precautions you can take, including wearing a properly fitted dental mouthguard when playing sport. However, accidents and injuries do still happen, so if you have knocked a tooth out or suffered breakage or other damage, it’s time to call a Bournemouth emergency dentist.

Lost teeth

If you still have the tooth, pick it up by the crown (the visible part in your mouth). Touching the root must be avoided. You may be able to put it back in the socket yourself (clean it with saliva first if it is dirty) but if you can’t you should put it in a clean container and cover it with milk until the emergency dentist can see you.

In the case of young children who have knocked out a milk tooth, never try to reinsert it because you could damage the adult tooth beneath. Instead, book your child an emergency dentist appointment immediately.

For adults, your Bournemouth emergency dentist will take an x-ray to ensure the tooth is in the correct position and will strap it to surrounding teeth to give it a chance to heal. If the tooth can’t be replaced, a bridge, denture, or dental implants may be recommended.

Broken tooth

Bring tooth fragments with you to our Bournemouth clinic if possible. The emergency dentist may be able to bond them back together. Alternatively, composite bonding using white filling material may be required to build your tooth back up. For back teeth, a crown, inlay, or onlay might be needed.

Do you need a Bournemouth emergency dentist?

If you need an emergency dentist in Bournemouth, contact Queens Park Dental Team immediately on 01202 303322. The practice keeps some appointments free each day for emergency cases, and will always try to see patients in need of urgent care on the same day whenever possible.

emergency-dental-careWhy you might need an emergency dentist

There are numerous reasons you may need to see an emergency dentist, from lost or broken teeth to sudden, unbearable toothache. Pain indicates that something is wrong in the body and should never be ignored. At our Bournemouth clinic your dentist will always get you out of pain, even if you need further appointments to fully treat the problem.

Below are some common dental emergencies, and what your Bournemouth emergency dentist may do to fix the problem:

Unbearable toothache, with or without swelling

Dental pain can be unbearable. It can come on suddenly or can begin as an intermittent nagging pain that suddenly gets worse. If you have mild or intermittent dental pain you should book the next available appointment with your dentist. Over-the-counter painkillers can provide short-term relief until your appointment.

If the pain gets worse or your painkillers stop working, you need an emergency dentist. Common causes of tooth pain are decay, infection, and trauma. Infection may require root canal treatment to fully cure, which usually takes at least two appointments.

Lost tooth

Injuries to the face and head can result in teeth being knocked out. Sometimes it is possible to reimplant a tooth in the socket. If you still have the tooth, pick it up by the crown and don’t touch the root. Lick it clean if necessary and try to put it back in the socket. If you can’t reinsert it, put it in a clean container covered in milk and contact your Bournemouth emergency dentist immediately.

The dentist may be able to reimplant the tooth or may offer tooth replacement options. This advice applies only to adult teeth. Never try to reinsert a baby tooth, because this can damage the adult tooth beneath. Take your child to the emergency dentist immediately.

Teeth whitening from a dentist: the fast and reliable smile booster

Carried out by a cosmetic dentist, teeth whitening is a safe, effective, and reliable way to boost your smile. There have been a lot of stories about unlicensed whitening practitioners in the press recently; at Bournemouth clinic Queens Park Dental Team our practitioners are fully qualified to deliver whitening treatment, and the gel that we use contains the legally safe amount of peroxide gel.

teeth-whiteningWhy we need teeth whitening

If you think about what your teeth go through on an average day, it’s not hard to see why they become stained and discoloured. Dietary factors, including coffee, tea, and red wine, can all cause staining of the teeth, as can habits such as smoking. Medicines, medicated mouthwashes, and even some medical conditions can all lead to tooth staining.

So long as it is carried out by a dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and predictable way to get rid of these stains, restoring a natural, bright whiteness to your smile.

Bournemouth teeth whitening

At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, we use the White Dental Beauty system, which is a home teeth whitening system. You will still need to come into our practice for a consultation with a dentist, so that they can assess the type and amount of staining, and make sure whitening is the best option. They will also check your oral health, because as with any cosmetic treatment, whitening must only take place in a healthy mouth to avoid the risk of complications such as sensitivity.

You will be fitted with custom-made whitening trays and provided with teeth whitening gel to use at home. All you need to do is place a small amount of gel in the trays and wear them overnight for approximately two weeks. The exact length of treatment will depend on how stained your teeth are.

Treatment from an emergency dentist in Bournemouth

There are many reasons you might need an emergency dentist. At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth we offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, because we know that rapid treatment is key. Should you require emergency care, contact us immediately on 01202 303322.

emergency dentistReasons you need an emergency dentist

At our Bournemouth clinic, we see emergency patients with a range of conditions. The primary concern of your emergency dentist will be to get you out of pain, as dental emergencies can be very uncomfortable.

It is not always possible to fully treat a condition in a single emergency appointment, so you may need to come back to our Bournemouth practice for follow-up appointments after your initial treatment from an emergency dentist.

Common reasons to see an emergency dentist include:

Lost teeth

Teeth can be knocked out in accidents or injuries that involve the face, such as collisions on the sports field. We always recommend wearing a sports mouthguard if you play contact sport (such as football) or any sport that involves fast-moving objects (such as cricket), but if you do end up losing a tooth, your dentist may be able to replace it in its socket.

Broken teeth

Injuries to the face and head can also result in broken teeth. Your dentist will always strive to save your tooth so long as it is viable, and may be able to repair it using white filling material or composite bonding, or alternatively by placing an inlay, onlay, or crown if additional strength is required.

Toothache

Pain is the body’s way of telling us something is wrong, and dental pain can develop rapidly to become almost unbearable. This is usually caused by infection, and your emergency dentist will first get you out of pain before treating the underlying infection and restoring your tooth as necessary.

How an emergency dentist can treat broken or missing teeth

A common reason for needing to see an emergency dentist is lost or broken teeth. At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, we offer same-day emergency appointments, so if you have lost or damaged a tooth or teeth for whatever reason, don’t delay; get in touch to book an appointment.

emergency dentist bournemouthTeeth are lost for a variety of reasons, including accidents, injuries, gum disease and tooth decay. If an accident or injury has resulted in tooth loss, it may be possible for your emergency dentist to reimplant it in the socket. If you still have your tooth pick it up carefully by the crown (the visible part in your mouth) and avoid touching the root. If it is dirty, carefully clean it under cold running water. Put it in a clean container and cover it either with your own saliva or with milk, and bring it to your appointment at Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth.

Accidents and injuries involving the mouth or head can often result in broken teeth. It is important to see a dentist as soon as possible even if your tooth only has a small chip or crack, because this can allow bacteria to enter your tooth, leading to the possibility of infection and a painful dental abscess, requiring root canal treatment and even potentially leading to tooth loss if left untreated.

Your Bournemouth emergency dentist will assess the amount of damage that has occurred, and whenever possible will work to save your tooth. This may include using white (tooth-coloured) fillings, inlays, onlays, or a crown to restore or reinforce your tooth. Composite bonding material can also sometimes be used to restore damaged teeth, whilst porcelain veneers may be recommended for slightly chipped front teeth.

emergency-dentistWhat can my Bournemouthemergency dentist do?

Many things constitute a dental emergency. From lost or broken teeth to a painful abscess, unbearable tooth-ache to damages to restorations such as crowns or dentures, it is always prudent to act quickly.

We always try to book patients in with an emergency dentist on the same day whenever possible. For that reason, the earlier you contact the practice the better. Please call us on 01202 303322 for out of hours advice as soon as your emergency occurs.

The first concern of your emergency dentist will be to get you out of pain. Dental pain can be unbearable, and we will never leave a patient in pain. It is not always possible to fully treat a condition in one appointment, so you may need to come back to our Bournemouth clinic for follow-up appointments to fully cure your ailment.

If fear of the dentist has caused you to put off seeking treatment until an emergency arises, your emergency dentist will take the time to talk you through any procedures necessary, and will treat you with the utmost care and respect at all times. Modern dentistry is practically pain free, and we use the Vibrainject injection system at our Bournemouth practice to deliver local anaesthetic, meaning many patients don’t even realise the injection has taken place.

Common reasons for needing an emergency dentist include:

Broken teeth

We can use a range of techniques, including composite bonding or fillings, to repair your teeth.

Lost teeth

We may be able to reimplant your tooth, or can offer tooth replacement options.

Toothache

We will get you out of pain, then treat the underlying cause.

How a cosmetic dentist can quickly boost your smile

Whilst we don’t believe in quick-fix solutions (because we believe that treatments should last) we do offer some fast ways to improve your smile’s aesthetic appearance.

cosmetic-dentistryIf you are interested in improving the way your smile looks, you should book a consultation with a cosmetic dentist here at our Bournemouth practice. Hannah will listen to your concerns, including what you like and dislike about your current smile, and what you would like to achieve, before carefully examining your teeth and gums. At the end of your consultation she will run through all the appropriate treatment options to reach your smile goals.

Here are some of the quickest ways to boost your smile at our Bournemouth dental practice:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available. When carried out by a qualified cosmetic dentist, it is predictable, reliable and safe.

We use the White Dental Beauty teeth whitening system at our Bournemouth practice, which is a home teeth whitening treatment. You will need to be measured for whitening trays, which are custom-made for every patient to ensure a perfect fit. You need to place a small amount of teeth whitening gel in the trays and wear them overnight for approximately two weeks, during which time the gel will gently remove the discolouration from your teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain placed over the front of permanently discoloured, chipped or misaligned teeth to approve their appearance. This is a fast way for your dentist to boost the appearance of your smile. The veneers are attached with a strong bonding agent for a completely natural, beautiful result.
