What will work for me?

At Smilecraft, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry treatments in Stevenage. Smile makeovers include one or more of these.

Quicker ways to a happier smile

Perhaps your teeth are nicely aligned but you need a quick brightening boost for a special occasion. We offer the in-house Zoom teeth whitening system, which is a quick and easy way to a brighter smile. Taking just two hours, we apply a powerful whitening gel to your teeth, which is activated with a UV light. You’ll notice the difference straight away. Or if you prefer a gentler method, we can offer you an at-home method using trays that fit neatly to your teeth for you to apply a lower dose gel yourself over two weeks.

If your teeth are crooked, crowded or misaligned, you may benefit from orthodontic treatment. We offer a fast, effective way for adults to straighten teeth, which is almost invisible. Six Month Smiles braces use tooth-coloured wires and brackets and so are highly discreet. Treatment time varies from four to nine months, which is vastly quicker than traditional metal braces.

Is it time to straighten things out?

Do you suffer from crooked or misaligned teeth? Most people are aware of standard fixed dental braces. Gone are the days of painful, metal braces that are highly visible and fixed in place. In recent times, there are many much less invasive, more convenient and flexible ways to straighten your teeth. At Smilecraft, Stevenage, orthodontics is provided in a modern and revolutionary way.

orthodontics-in-Stevenage We understand that undertaking orthodontics takes a lot of consideration and at Smilecraft we are keen to keep our patients informed, relaxed and comfortable at every stage of the process. We also consider significant factors such as the costs of the treatment and the long-term impacts on your oral health.

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned incorrectly. Crooked and wonky teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean and are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and gum disease. This causes stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches and shoulder and back pain. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also negatively affect your appearance and confidence.

For your orthodontics in Stevenage, we use diagnostic tools including examining your dental health history, plaster models of your teeth and X-rays to clarify what orthodontic treatment each of our patients need and from this we will develop a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Isn’t orthodontic dentistry expensive?

Top quality treatment does come at a price, but we understand that not everybody can afford to pay this all in one go. Our pricing structures are transparent, and we offer a variety of finance plans, including a 0% finance offer to spread the cost and make quality treatment much more manageable and affordable.

Dependent upon the orthodontics you require, you can borrow between £600 and £50,000. Most patients’ applications are approved within a week and you can then go full steam ahead and schedule your orthodontics in Stevenage.

So, if you are in need of teeth straightening in Stevenage, look no further than Smilecraft. Contact us today and be on your way to a straighter, happier smile.

Available teeth straightening options

There are a number of different braces that people can choose from in order to receive straighter teeth. There are the traditional metal braces, fixed clear braces, braces that can be removed and even braces that are totally invisible to the naked eye. Let’s take a closer look at what’s available out there.

Removable braces

Removable braces are a great option for those who have minor to moderate issues that need correcting. They’re also excellent for people who don’t like the idea of eating or brushing their teeth whilst wearing a brace. The most popular clear brace treatment on the market at the moment is Invisalign. Invisalign treatment includes receiving a set different set of aligners every two weeks until the desired outcome has been reached. One drawback of Invisalign is that treatment can take longer than some of the other teeth straightening options available.

Invisible braces

‘Invisible’ or lingual braces are fixed at the back of the teeth so are totally hidden from site. These braces are an ideal option for people who are self-conscious about wearing a brace and don’t want it to be noticeable at all. A popular lingual brace that’s available at the moment is Incognito and although they are totally unnoticeable, they are of a higher price than other braces.

Clear braces

Clear braces are the perfect solution for those wanting to achieve straighter teeth in a short time frame. Smilecraft dental practice offers a treatment called Six Month Smiles to patients wanting clear braces in Stevenage. Although the braces are not totally invisible, they are transparent so it’s unlikely that anyone will know that you’re wearing them unless they’re inspecting your teeth up close. Smilecraft considers their Stevenage braces to be the best option for most people wanting to achieve straighter teeth. The reasons for this include:

Discreetness
Effectiveness
An average treatment time of just 6 months!

If you have crooked or misaligned teeth and you want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile, please make an appointment at Smilecraft dental clinic to find out if you’re a suitable candidate for their clear braces in Stevenage.

I am a nervous patient and not sure cosmetic dentistry is right for me

If nerves have been holding you back from improving your smile then it is time to explore your available options. Many people hold a fear of the dentist, so you are not alone if you feel this way. It is a good idea to express your fears so that the dentist can accommodate you and your needs. An option for sedation is available for nervous patients. This allows the treatment to be completed with limited distress or pain to the patient.

Do I still need to look after my teeth after a cosmetic treatment?

Yes! It is important for everybody to take care of their teeth as they go about their busy lives in Stevenage. Cosmetic Dentistry will only take care of straightening your teeth, you will still need to take care to ensure that they stay clean. Ensure regular brushing of all the teeth to give you the best possible chance of a plaque-free smile.

Cosmetic orthodontics – for the smile you deserve

You may have thought that orthodontics were only an option for dental issues that affect the physical well-being of the mouth. Whilst this is the main focus of conventional orthodontics, there are now options that focus mainly on the cosmetic benefits, which often means they are also methods that are fast as well as effective. At Smilecraft in Stevenage, orthodontics are something we offer that can restore or create a great smile for you.

What type of orthodontics in Stevenage do you offer?

Our primary offering in this area is Six Month Smiles. These are brackets and wires that are clear and tooth-coloured for the ultimate in discreet dental fixtures. They are easily fitted in a couple of appointments. The first is when you will have impressions of your teeth taken, and you and your dentist will discuss and plan the work. The second is where the brackets and wires are fitted in an easy, comfortable process. The treatment itself can then take anywhere between four and nine months, but the average time is around six months.

We want you to be able to relax when you come to our clinic in Stevenage. Orthodontics are a type of treatment that normally requires a number of visits to the dentist and those are going to be more comfortable if you meet friendly, professional staff from the moment you walk in the door. We believe that we have a great environment here at Smilecraft and you only need to check out some of our testimonials to see that we are not the only ones. Our personalised service means that you walk away each time feeling cared for and listened to when it comes to your dental health.

What about the cost?

In general, work that is elective and primarily designed to improve the look of your mouth is not available on the NHS. This means that you will need to fund the work yourself.

With something like Six Month Smiles, the work you need is not normally as extensive as normal treatments and so can be faster and therefore cheaper. Also, we offer things like finance packages and practice membership which may also be able to help you with the cost.

Brace yourself for brighter smiles in Stevenage

Goodbye metal braces, hello Six Month Smiles. At Smilecraft in Stevenage, braces technology has moved on from fixed metal braces.

With advances in dental materials and techniques, Six Month Smiles has the potential to straighten your teeth in as little as six months, saving you time and money.

A problem worth solving

Crooked or misaligned teeth can look unsightly and can also give rise to dental problems. This can include excessive wear in places, causing gums to recede, bacterial build-up leading to a greater chance of gum disease, and even difficulties chewing food properly. Teeth that sit together properly are less likely to need as much dental treatment over the years as crooked teeth. Investing in braces in Stevenage could therefore actually mean you spend less money on your teeth down the line.

Your choice for orthodontics in Stevenage

If you have an issue with your smile that is related to how the teeth line up, or how the bite aligns, or even if you have an issue with gaps, then you may be in need of orthodontics. In Stevenage, at our clinic, we are happy to discuss your options with you and look forward to welcoming you.

Why we are an excellent choice

Teeth straightening can be quite an extended journey and one where you will need to visit your dentist fairly regularly. As this is the case then you will want to visit a practice with a team you can trust. This kind of reliance can take many forms.

For a start, you want to be sure you are getting the right advice and that comes from checking out a practice’s credentials, track record and training. We are happy to give you any reassurance you need on this front and we adhere to the guidelines laid out by the General Dental Council.

Hygiene is of understandable importance to patients and you want to know you are being looked after. We operate a transparent policy around our hygiene procedures so you can have any information you need to make you feel safe. You can visit the section of our website called ‘The Decontamination Journey’ to check out some of what we do.

You need to be able to have faith that your dentist will be with you every step of the way. We offer a thorough consultation and examination followed by the supply of as much information as you need to feel comfortable about the teeth straightening journey you are embarking on. During treatment, you get regular check-ups and can ask any questions you like. We encourage an open and friendly environment at our practice. Finally, we stay with you at the aftercare stage as most straightening will require up to a year of wearing a retainer. We want you to remain satisfied and become a regular patient of ours for years to come.

At Smilecraft, we want the best for our patients and we hope you will consider us as you choice for orthodontics in Stevenage.
