Beauty is power; a smile is its sword

Here at Whitehall Dental Practice, nothing makes our expertly trained practitioners happier than when they put a smile on the face of our patients. We recognise that we are living through unprecedented trying times and that it often seems difficult to smile in the face of everything. However, in doing so, it is actually possible to change how we feel on a chemical level, through the release of serotonin and dopamine, which combine to make us feel elated and happy, all through the power of a smile. 

This being said, there are a number of people out there who frequently refrain from smiling, despite the positive effects that it can have, because they are embarrassed or ashamed of their oral health or the condition of their teeth. People in this position are actively standing in the way of their own happiness and ought to waste no time in seeking out help from a dentist in North Devon such as us here at Whitehall Dental Practice to begin getting the help they need and achieving the true potential and benefits of their smile.

    Whitehall Meet The Team

    What can a dentist in North Devon do for me? 

    A great many patients seek out our dental expertise here at Whitehall Dental Practice to address either one or more cosmetic problems that they may have with their smile. Our smiles are something which we each use everyday and play a massive part in social interactions at every level, both in a professional and personal context. As such, anyone whose teeth are visibly marked or stained, chipped and broken or missing entirely, can often find that it impedes on their daily lives in a number of ways. 

    Whilst in the past the ‘grin-and-bare-it’ approach was one of the only options available, it is now possible to address a number of these cosmetic issues swiftly and effectively at Whitehall Dental Practice through our cosmetic dentist in North Devon. By seeking out the aid of a trusted cosmetic dentist, patients are able to visibly improve and enhance their smiles and as a result find that the treatments they opt for have an astoundingly positive effect, not just on their outward appearance, but also their inner self-esteem and confidence.

      Cosmetic Smile

      Cosmetic teeth straightening

      One of the most widely sought after cosmetic dentistry treatments which we provide here at Whitehall Dental Practice is cosmetic teeth straightening. Many of our older patients have not-too-fond memories of growing up during the era where their only option to amend crooked teeth was through traditional metallic braces. These braces, whilst being an effective method of treatment that is still used today, were not typically regarded as the most comfortable of ways of correcting misaligned teeth and often impacted on the way that patients looked whilst wearing them. 

      Nowadays however, through innovative cosmetic teeth straightening and contemporary methods such as clear dental aligners, it is possible to comfortably and effectively correct misaligned teeth without impacting on how patients look. This is achieved without metallic wires or ceramic brackets needing to be attached to the patient’s teeth or indeed, without anything attached to the patient’s teeth at all. Instead, a custom made, removable plastic retainer is created, inside of which, small built-in pressure points apply targeted force to the desired tooth. Over time, these teeth are gently shifted into their correct position and, as the retainer is made of wafer-thin plastic, it is almost entirely invisible throughout the course of the treatment.
