Struggling with crooked, crowded teeth, or perhaps an under or overbite? Invisalign is an affordable treatment for a multitude of cases. With a staggering 40% of the UK population unhappy with their smile, we have treatments that will give you a reason to smile again in no time. Invisalign is a virtually invisible route to…
Tooth loss is inevitable with our first, or baby, teeth. This is a natural part of life. Once our adult teeth have come through though, they will be the last natural teeth that we have and need to be looked after. Generally speaking, it is perhaps the teeth at the rear which are more prone…
Most dentists will have heard patients say that they would dearly like to have nicer looking teeth but that cosmetic dentistry treatments are too expensive. It is true that these treatments are not available on the NHS and therefore, without any government subsidy, the full treatment has to be paid for by the patient. This…
Although at the time of writing this blog the weather is looking very Autumnal, we have at least recently had a glimpse of the sunnier weather that hopefully lies ahead. Many of our Sync Dental Centres patients will have noticed blossoms and buds appearing in their gardens, bringing with it the promise of brighter and…
Dental braces have been in use for many years. In fact, they are believed to have been used as far back as 2000BC by the ancient Egyptians. The use of metal and animal parts wrapped around the teeth which have been found in mummies is not something that most of us would recognise as dental…
When we think about dentistry, we tend perhaps, to think largely about our teeth. After all, anyone who has neglected their teeth and had a painful toothache will know just how bad that can be. Whilst focussing on our teeth, it is possible to forget that we also need to look after the soft tissue…
As some of you will be aware, many dentists are currently having to limit the number of patients they can see each day due to the Covid restrictions. The essential cleaning of equipment and practice areas between patients means that we currently aren’t able to see quite as many patients as before. This does mean…
Few of us will have found many reasons to laugh or smile over the last year. Without a doubt, it was a terrible year and sadly some of us may have lost friends or relatives who succumbed to Covid-19. Others will have been affected by it either through illness or through the effect on jobs…
As this will be our last Sync Dental Centres blog of 2020, we thought that it would be timely to take a look at the festive season ahead and the sorts of things that you can do to keep your teeth and gums in good health at this time. Although year round dental care is…
When this happens, few of us would choose to leave large spaces where our teeth should be. Whilst we could, perhaps, ‘hide’ a single missing tooth (though we recommend that you don’t do that) if it was a less visible one, this becomes next to impossible when multiple teeth are missing. What are the options…
For many of us, the pleasure of consuming a hot drink on a cold day or an ice cold one on a hot day, is tempered by the discomfort caused by having sensitive teeth. This is a relatively common problem that your local Addlestone dentists see on an almost daily basis. Unlike tooth decay, it…
Closing dental practices during the first national lockdown to prevent the spread of Covid-19 caused a great deal of stress to patients and dentists alike. Whilst it was understood why the government chose to do this, it has created problems of its own. With such a long closure, it was inevitable that some people would…
We suspect that a number of you may have wondered how the seemingly endless number of TV celebrities all seem to have perfect looking teeth? If so, we are going to let you into a little secret; they have almost certainly paid to have them look that way. Very few people have naturally perfect looking…
Given the amount of ‘scare stories’ that have built up around root canal treatment over time, it is probably not surprising that some patients of the Sync Dental Centres react negatively when told that they need to have this done in order to save a tooth. The reality though is that this is the only…
With a significant lockdown now generally over and with restrictions being eased all the time, (albeit with a degree of caution), we seem to be slowly returning to some sort of normality again. Although some people can’t wait to get back out into society, understandably, others may just be slowly and cautiously emerging and may…
