Do you wish that you could straighten your teeth? Do you have problems cleaning your teeth due to their positioning or do you feel self conscious when you smile? Here at Parrock Dental, we can definitely help. We can offer a solution to your problems using various methods of cosmetic dentistry. There are numerous options for orthodontics, but one of the most popular methods is fixed braces.

Fixed Orthodontics:

Fixed appliances are the most commonly used braces today, because they allow accurate positioning of the teeth. The braces are securely fixed onto the teeth and cannot be removed by the patient. There are various systems available ranging from the standard metal brackets to clear or aesthetic brackets.

Fixed braces are now available with clear brackets, dramatically reducing the visibility of fixed braces. They are particularly popular for adults, where aesthetics are of the utmost importance.

Here at Parrock Dental, we currently offer complimentary tooth whitening with all our orthodontic treatments to, so once you have straightened your teeth, you can then whiten them to a shade that you are happy with, giving you the Perfect Smile!!

Whitening:

Teeth whitening enables you to improve your smile dramatically and simply giving you a WOW smile very quickly. It enables your teeth to get gradually whiter and is ceased when you are happy with the new colour of your smile.

There are several methods of teeth whitening. The most tried, tested, safe, simple and predictable, cost-effective and best is the one favoured by Parrock Dental & Implant Centre which Take-Home Whitening. A custom tray is made to fit comfortably in only your mouth after taking simple and quick impressions. It is the special design and manufacture of the trays which ensures our patients always get their desired result.

A special gel is placed in the tray which is then placed over the teeth and kept in place for variable times. If you have a sensitive gag reflex it can be kept in for just 20 minutes to a few hours. Most patients are advised to wear their trays over night until the desired result is achieved.

You can expect to see a big difference after 2-3 days with your teeth appearing healthy and white after 5-7 days. Patients who want a stunning white smile should continue whitening for approximately 2 weeks.
