Smile Cliniq | N3 Finchley Dentist | North London Dental Practice

Regular dental check-ups help prevent tooth decay and other dental problems. During your full dental and periodontal (gum) consultation we will check for problems with your teeth, gums and also screen for oral cancer. Regular check-ups are important in preventive dentistry. In addition to regular check-ups (which may include xrays) we provide a full range of dental treatments. These include:

	White Fillings - Composite Bonding White fillings are used to replace old amalgam (metal based) fillings, or to restore decayed, chipped and cracked teeth. Composite bonding is a process in which tooth coloured materials are applied to a tooth's surface, hand crafted and sculpted into shape, hardened, and then polished for the ultimate natural appearance.

	Crowns In many instances there is simply insufficient tooth substance to allow the direct placement of fillings or veneers to disguise cracked and discoloured teeth. Crowning of such a tooth maybe the only viable option, to allow function and maintain premier aesthetics. Crowns can hold together portions of a fractured tooth, support dental bridges to fill gaps created by missing teeth and provide longevity to heavily restored teeth. Read more.

	Bridges A bridge is used to restore a gap created by one or more missing teeth; literally bridging the gap. Many types of bridges exist; in essence they are all fixed and can only be removed by a dentist. Traditionally bridges have relied on natural teeth to support them however, with advances in science and technology Smile Cliniq can now offer implant, supported bridges, with the advantage of spanning larger gaps. Traditional bridges involve preparation of the supporting teeth to receive a crown; the gap is closed upon cementation of the final bridge with a life like ceramic pontic. Read more.

	Veneers These are custom-made ceramic facings that cover the front of discoloured, chipped and cracked teeth. Minimal preparation of tooth is required for our ceramists to hand craft your veneer from lithium disilicate (a type of porcelain) materials to portray a bright, beautiful and natural smile.

	Tooth Whitening Tooth Whitening is the No.1 requested and performed cosmetic dental procedure in the UK. In everyday life the microscopic pores of your teeth are pigmented with substances such as red wine, coffee and tobacco. These, in conjunction with age related changes gives your smile a stained and discoloured appearance. Tooth Whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. It is effective in 95% of patients to brighten discolouration of teeth. Read more.
