Brighton Cosmetic Dentist

Welcome to Brighton Cosmetic Dentist!

I know, I know…. “Welcome to Brighton Cosmetic Dentist” doesnt make sense? Its a weird name for a website right? Well, there is a reason for me choosing this particular combination of words.

You see, whenever someone in Brighton or Hove is searching for a cosmetic dentist the first thing they would type into google is ‘Brighton Costmetic

Dentist’ or maybe ‘Cosmetic Dentist Brighton’. And you see, I wanted you to find my website because unlike other website owners out there, I actually dont own a dental

practice, or for that matter – I am not even a dentist!

I am actually an impartial consumer who has had a bad experience of late with a cosmetic dentist in Hove (dont worry I wont mention any names publ

icly!) and that was enough to motivate me to start up a blog to help try and guide you through the many pitfalls. It would be rude not to!

I am not going to slag off any particular dental practices on this site, but what I will do is make a few key recommendations which are fully licensed, certified and professional – not to mention value for money!

You’re definitely in the right place.


Cosmetic dentistry is in high demand these days and it’s not hard to see why.  You can say that looks aren’t everything until you’re blue in the face, but that doesn’t change the fact that they do matter of course. Your smile conveys a powerful message to other people, so it’s very important that you feel good about yours. If you suffer from poor oral health, damage caused by tooth decay, tooth injury, tooth discoloration, crooked teeth, decayed teeth, or anything else along those lines, then the chances are pretty good that you might be interested in finding out how to get the best cosmetic dental care.

I can certainly sympathize with your situation and I’m here to tell you that finding the right cosmetic dentists can really change your life. One of my close friends inherited problem teeth from my mother and her relatives, so I’ve seen first hand the dramas associated with chronic jaw pain, tooth decay, and a host of other dental problems.

Her teeth didn’t just feel bad either. They looked an absolute wreck as well and she went through the better part of her life feeling insecure about her teeth and feeling afraid to smile or laugh for fear people would see her teeth and be disgusted. Then one day, she decided to find a good Brighton cosmetic dentist and undergo a full mouth reconstruction one step at a time. She is sure glad she did! And so am I – she is actually now my WIFE!

Now she can smile again with absolute confidence. The pain attached to her bad teeth is a thing of the past as well and her overall health is also better. Cosmetic dentistry treatments changed her life for the better and I’m here to tell you that it can change yours, too!

Finding a Brighton Cosmetic Dentist to Fit Your Needs


Nevertheless, making the decision to look seriously into finding a Brighton cosmetic dentist and actually doing it are two different things. The world of cosmetic dentistry is vast and figuring out where to start in your local Brighton area can be daunting.

You can ask your friends for information on dentistry costs and cosmetic dentistry recommendations, but unless you’re lucky enough to know friends who had the exact same work done that you need, they won’t be but so much help. And forget the yellow pages and general dentistry listings! You might as well choose your cosmetic dentist by flipping a coin.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were a comprehensive and specific site that specializes in helping you choose a Brighton cosmetic dentist and is dedicated to providing you with all the information and know-how you need to make an informed decision for your individual needs?

Well, there is… and you’ve found it!

When Emil was first looking into cosmetic dental work , I witnessed first hand she actually wished the very same thing on many an occasions, but unfortunately she didn’t have such a resource to turn to at the time. She had to do all her own legwork when it came to researching dental crowns, porcelain veneers, tooth whitening, mouth reconstruction, invisible braces, tooth bonding, dental fillings, laser dentistry, and everything else she was considering as options at the time.

Yes, this was every bit as tedious, painstaking, and frustrating as you are imagining it was. However, I now know (cause I went on the journey with her) just about everything there is to know about finding a Brighton cosmetic dentist as a result. I know all about natural looking cosmetic dentistry procedures and what each of them entails. I know which dentists do the best work around here in regards to specific problems. I even know a lot of valuable information about maintaining your precious dental work once it’s done and seeing to it that it lasts a lifetime.

Eventually, I decided that it was my duty to help local people just like Emily find the right Brighton cosmetic dentist for them quickly and easily and that meant creating a reliable one-stop resource they could turn to for help. That’s how and why this site was born – to help people just like you get the right smile makeover so that they can feel confident and good about their teeth again. Believe me when I say it makes all the difference in the world. Here you’ll find not only reviews and dentistry recommendation, but valuable resources on oral health, oral hygiene, the latest dental technology, and more.

Why Should You Trust Me?


I’m not a dentist, a cosmetic surgeon, or even a dental hygienist. In fact, I don’t work in the dental industry at all, but that’s exactly why you should trust me. I’m an average, everyday person who witnessed a close friend who needed dentistry treatments and found the whole harrowing process of choosing the right Brighton cosmetic dentist absolutely frustrating. I simply want to help local people in my area find good, reliable, affordable dental care thanks to the vast collection of resources and information I’ve compiled over the years through my own hard work. So, hang out for a while and browse around! You’re bound to find something that will make your search for a good cosmetic dentist a lot easier on you.

The Building Blocks of a Complete Smile Makeover

Posted by under Interesting Dental Facts
No Comments

If you’ve suffered from multiple chronic issues with your teeth, then it’s no surprise at all that you might be considering a smile makeover as a possible solution. Modern dentistry has experienced so many amazing breakthroughs these days that a cosmetic dentist is nothing short of a miracle worker! Thanks to the concept of the smile makeover, people are once again learning to smile with confidence again and this could be you, too.

However, a complete overhaul in regards to your mouth can be intimidating as well. How extensive is it and how much pain is involved? What procedures are considered to be part of a smile makeover and what can you expect your dentist to recommend when you show up for your first consultation? While your dentist will need to fill you in on the details himself, here are some basics in regards to what to expect.

Tooth Color/Staining

If your teeth are badly stained thanks to genetics, cigarettes, age, coffee, or any number of other causes, your cosmetic dentist will most likely recommend addressing that issue at some point. Whitening treatments are an option, as are veneers or caps. If you have many fillings, it may also be suggested that you replace dark, traditional fillings with modern white fillings that are undetectable.

Tooth Alignment and Positioning

One of the most common reasons why a person may be considering a smile makeover is bad tooth alignment. Badly crooked teeth, wide gaps, teeth that overlap, and more are common issues that cause major problems with an otherwise beautiful smile. If you have crooked teeth, your cosmetic dentist will very likely recommend braces or specialized veneers to help address the problem as part of your smile makeover. If gaps are very pronounced, then prosthetics or localized implants may also be part of the mix.

Missing Teeth or Tooth Damage

A smile makeover just simply wouldn’t be a makeover at all if it didn’t address damaged, missing or broken teeth. Some damage is minor – maybe just some chipping or cracking. Caps or veneers are a common way to address such issues.

Other people may have large numbers of damaged teeth that require extractions and replacement with dentures or prosthetics. Dentures can be either partials or full sets. Bridges are also an option for some. It simply depends on the state of your mouth and what your cosmetic dentist thinks is best for your individual smile makeover.

Other Elements That Affect a Smile Makeover

It’s important to note that a good cosmetic dentist will not only be focused on how your teeth look, but how they look with your facial features, your hair color, your skin tone, and so forth. Since a very extensive smile makeover can change the shape of your face or even the way you speak, these will also be concerns and subjects your dentist will bring up for discussion with you.

Function is just as important as appearance as well. If you have issues chewing, biting or speaking because of jaw problems or a bad overbite, a smile makeover can include solutions to those problems as well. Be sure to bring them up for discussion with your dentist when you meet to discuss your options.

In the end, life is just too short to go through it feeling as if you shouldn’t be smiling. If you’re insecure or uncomfortable because of your smile, consider meeting with a local cosmetic dentist sooner rather than later. It just might change your life!

How Do Invisible Braces Compare To Traditional Braces?

Brighton Cosmetic Dentist brings you another cool article from Ezine Articles! If I only knew about invisible braces when i was a kid! Hang on, did they even exist then?

How Do Invisible Braces Compare To Traditional Braces?

By Justin Arnold Platinum Quality AuthorIf you’ve heard of invisible braces then you may well have come across Invisalign, one of the leading manufacturers of invisible braces. But what really are the benefits of invisible braces, either from Invisalign or anyone else? Clearly the word invisible is a pretty good indication of what one of the chief advantages is from Invisalign braces, but it isn’t the only advantage, and it’s well worth being completely clear about how invisible braces or clear braces differ from traditional braces, and what you can expect from the process.

Having braces fitted at any age can often be the result of a great deal of thinking, worrying and wondering, and it certainly isn’t an easy decision for anyone to make. Traditional braces are often worn for a couple of years or more, and if this is during a period where someone is taking their first steps towards adulthood, it can be extremely awkward because of the way in which traditional braces look. There is no hiding traditional braces, because every time you open your mouth to talk, to eat or to smile, people are going to notice the metalwork more than anything else.

So one of the clear advantages that comes from wearing invisible braces from a company such as Invisalign is that people will not notice that you are wearing braces unless they deliberately look at your teeth. Therefore for many people the deciding factor on whether to wear invisible braces or traditional braces is the fact that people are unlikely to notice that they are wearing braces at all.

But what of the other benefits and differences which clear braces have to offer? One of the other key factors to consider is the fact that invisible braces are worn for a much shorter period of time. With traditional braces you can expect to have to wear them for at least two years or more. However, with invisible braces from Invisalign you need only have them in for a matter of months.

So as well as being virtually invisible, modern clear braces can also get the job done in a fraction of the time. How is this achieved? The answer is very simple, because effectively with traditional braces you are given one pair of braces to wear for the duration of the experience. But with clear braces you actually only wear the first set you are given for about two weeks.

Throughout the entire period of time you are wearing clear braces you will usually be required to revisit your dentist every two weeks, at which point you will be given a replacement set of Invisalign braces. Each subsequent set of invisible braces will be very slightly different from the previous set, helping to increase the pressure on teeth to move.

Imagine if you were to stand in one place in a room pushing against a cardboard box. If the box is very close to you then you will be able to push it easily to begin with, but as the distance increases between you and the box your ability to push it lessens. This is roughly what takes place with traditional braces. But because clear braces are replaced at regular intervals it is a little bit more like taking a step forwards each time a new set of braces is provided, decreasing the distance between you and the imaginary box, providing you with the ability to apply a consistent pressure in a consistent direction.

Although the benefits of wearing invisible braces from companies such as Invisalign are clear to see, or rather invisible, there are still other advantages and benefits, which I will cover in my next article.

For more information about invisible braces from Invisalign visit The Invisalign Guide where you can find up-to-date information, articles and advice from dental experts in the UK.

What to Expect, When Visiting a Cosmetic Dentist

Posted by under General Dental Care
[2] Comments

Does visiting any kind of dentist scare the hell out of you? Well, I am sorry folks, if you are that kind of person your experience not going to get easier when visiting any cosmetic dentist in Brighton. I dont want to lie to you! Its an uncomfortable feeling when some stranger is poking round your mouth with a daunting looking metal instrument!

But what I can help you with to give you an idea what to expect. Below is a cool article I found on the net which may or may not help. Good luck!

What to Expect, When Visiting a Cosmetic Dentist

By Simon Mahoney Platinum Quality Author

There are many things that could motivate you to consider seeking the services of a cosmetic-dentist. It could be something to do with the color of your teeth, the alignment of your teeth or even the number of your teeth (like where you have some conspicuous teeth missing, hence messing up with your look).

A visit to the cosmetic dentist could be something you have always wanted to do, but which, due to lack of resources – either time resources or financial resources – you could have kept on postponing, until now that you can make it. Now as you make final arrangements for your visit to the cosmetic-dentist, you would find yourself a little bit anxious as to what you are to expect once there, which is the focus of this discussion.

Now there are several things that you can expect when visiting a cosmetic-dentist. Their exact nature will depend to a large extent on the type of cosmetic dentistry procedure you are looking at, which is in turn dependant on the nature of problem at hand.

Usually, a visit to the cosmetic-dentist will be by appointment. These are usually busy professionals, seeing that there are only so many of them, dealing with the cosmetic dentistry problems of huge numbers of people. You therefore need to book for an appointment as soon as you make up your mind to seek the services of a cosmetic dentist. Finding a cosmetic-dentist near you should, in itself, not be too large of a problem.

The telephone directory is one of the resources at your disposal, where you can find cosmetic-dentist listings. A chat with your usual dentist could also yield a referral to a cosmetic dentist she knows of. Depending on your country of residence, you may also be able to use a web-based dentist locator service to identify a suitable cosmetic dentist.

Once you are in the cosmetic-dentist’s clinic, you can expect the usual probing questions associated with dentists. Remember, when all is said and done, the cosmetic dentist is not a beautician, but a doctor of dentistry. Before making up their mind as to whether to proceed with the cosmetic-dentistry or not (and if yes, what cosmetic dentistry procedure to use), they will be keen on knowing whether you have any health conditions that contra-indicate such procedures.

Most cosmetic-dentistry procedures are not painful, so that you have nothing to fear in that respect. Some can, however, be slightly uncomfortable. Virtually all of them will involve keeping your mouth wide open for extended periods of time. If it a tooth discoloration problem you have, the cosmetic dentist may decide to use a dental bleach on you, and you can expect a bit of enhanced tooth sensitivity pursuant to its usage.

Where it is a tooth alignment problem you are looking to resolve, the cosmetic dentist will probably put you on suitable braces, and it will be up to you to wear them consistently, in order to bring about your much desired look. The braces can be a little bit uncomfortable to wear for the first day, but you soon get used to them.

Where it is a missing tooth problem we are looking at, the solution may lay in replacing it with an artificial one (most probably preceded by the installation of a dental implant); or the bonding or veneering of the space where the tooth is supposed to be present.

Before letting you go, the cosmetic dentist will most probably do a brief dental check up on you, to see whether there might be any major undetected problems in your mouth.

The cosmetic dentist is also likely to give you follow-up appointments, and it is in your best interests to keep up with them, to ensure that keep them, to get the best possible care.

What is for sure is that a visit to the cosmetic dentist is nothing to be particularly anxious about; as most procedures that take place there are not particularly painful or otherwise uncomfortable.

The cosmetic dentistry guide implant page displayed on the site www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk is ideal for those interested in dental implants.

What is a Cosmetic Dentist?

Posted by under Interesting Dental Facts
Comments Off

Your Cosmetic Dentist differs from your local dentist in one main way, its pretty simple really.

In summary, cosmetic dentistry focuses on how you mouth, teeth and smile looks, whereas your local dentists is more interested in fixing cavities and diagnosing tooth decay (ie diagnosing and prevention). Make Sense?

Think of your local cosmetic dentist as someone you ‘want’ to pay ridiculous money, and your more run of the mill dentist is someone you ‘need’ to pay a small fortune. ie working on your appearance is not something which is absolutely necessary, whereas your local dentist is someone who is needed in an emergency when you cant stand the pain from a nasty cavity.

But, the gap between your local dentist and a cosmetic dentist is closing fast. For example, fillings (traditionally composed primarily of gold, amalgam and other materials) are something which most people despise and see as ugly right? Well cosmetic dentistry now has the ability to match your fillings, using porcelain or the like, to your teeth! Pretty cool hey? You can also remove old fillings and replace with appearance friendly fillings ensuring your smile looks a brilliant white!

Advancements in technology is a huge factor which again is closing the gap between traditional methods and the cutting edge. Some of the methods used are now very conservative, durable and predictable. Your natural style will be restored and ‘optimised’ whereas before it was not uncommon for the patient to walk out of a surgery with facial features vaguely resembling the person who walked in a few days earlier!

Your local cosmetic dentist now has the ability to buy lasers at a reasonable price which means that they don’t have to refer to a specialist and can keep 99% of their business in house.

TOP 7 MOST POPULAR COSMETIC DENTIST TREATMENTS

Ok guys, your Cheryl Cole’s and your Lady Gaga’s didn’t look the way they do now without the help of a top class cosmetic dentist. Check out below the 5 top treatments in todays market.

INLAYS/ONLAYS

The only way I can really describe Inlays and Onlays really is that they are simply a ‘posh’ filling. Whereas a dentist would fill a hole in your tooth whilst sitting in the dentists chair, the cosmetic dentist will kind of measure up your teeth, and then send the results off to a specialist who would then produce your posh filling in a laboratory. They are made from porcelain or other cosmetic materials and are then adhesively bonded in place by an adhesive. The result is an extremely natural looking filling – in fact the naked eye would probably not even notice!

COMPOSITE BONDING

Composite bonding is used to create a very natural fix to chipped, broken or discoloured teeth. A ‘composite bond’ is applied onto the surface of the teeth, or to fill a gap and then molded into place. The mixture of composite substances creates an almost identical look to healthy white enamel, and it is then hardened into place using high intensity light. The result is a brilliant, white, natural smile!

TEETH WHITENING

This one is pretty self explanatory. Yellow teeth look horrible as a result of smoking, too much soft drink and old age. Not pretty! As you probably all know, you cosmetic dentist can bleach you teeth to enhance your pearly whites!

DENTAL VENEERS

Dental veneers are usually recommended when the patient has had no luck with tooth whitening. They are the next step really, and involve bonding a ‘composite material veneer’ onto the surface of the tooth. This will greatly enhance sever discolouration as clearly the old tooth is covered. The bonus with veneers is that chips, cracks a massive gaps can be easily fixed!

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Ever heard of a prosthetic limb? Well, in dentistry, there is an equivalent! The prosthetic tooth has helps replace tooth loss, which will always make a difference right? Plus, sadly, most people missing teeth look older as their face will have collapsed to a certain extent. Scarey right?

SMILE MAKEOVER

This is getting down towards the expensive end of the spectrum folks. Usually it involves a combination of teeth whitening, veneers, implants and inlays! Your cosmetic dentist will usually have some sort of computer software which can model your facial features and provide you with an analysis of what you need and what you may look like after surgery.

FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION

The Full Monty! Its possible for your cosmetic Dentist to provide a full assessment of not only your mouth, but how your mouth affects facial features. He/She may discover that there are serious functional problems with your bite, jaw, muscles and bone structure. Because of the advancements in technology your local cosmetic dentist will be able to provide you with a durable, comfortable and sound treatments that also look extremely natural. It truel is amazing what they can do these days.

Cosmetic Dental work has suddenly opened up a whole other world to alot of people who were extremely self concious. As mentioned here I knew someone close to me who was not happy with their smile, and folks, there is MAJOR help available. If you are not happy with your smile then I would recommend checking out a few more comprehensive articles within this website and then maybe pop into you local Brighton Cosmetic Dentist!
