Invisalign clear aligners

Invisalign clear aligners are the world-renowned near-invisible teeth straightening treatment where treatment times can be as little as 6 months.

Invisalign treatment is only available from dentists who have completed Invisalign specialised training.

Treatment times vary depending on patient needs and case complexity, but can be as little as 6 months.

What does Invisalign treatment involve?

With Invisalign align technology and treatment, you wear a series of clear aligners (retainers) that are specially created to correct tooth overcrowding.

Each aligner gradually adjusts the position of your teeth until you achieve lovely straight teeth. Made from a clear, flexible plastic, the aligners are virtually invisible as, unlike traditional dental braces, there are no brackets or wires on show.

The benefits of Invisalign clear aligners

A key advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, so can be taken out when you eat and drink, and to clean your teeth.

Invisalign treatment also comes with free tooth whitening – so you really can have a stunning, bright new smile to be proud of!

Cfast tooth straightening

Cfast is a fast, effective and affordable treatment for adults who are seeking to correct their smiles.

What does Cfast treatment involve?

It is a barely noticeable straightening treatment that usually delivers results in just a few months.

The treatment focuses on straightening the front six teeth as they most influence the appearance of your smile.

The use of special nickel-titanium wires, gently exerts pressure to force movement in the teeth.

Teeth Whitening

If you’d love a brighter smile, we have the teeth whitening solution for you.

Everyone’s teeth become less bright over time, in part due to lifestyle habits such as drinking red wine and coffee.

Whilst a good dental care routine including brushing, flossing and regular visits to your dental hygienist help to minimise stains, professional whitening treatments can visibly lighten and brighten your smile quickly and safely.

Boutique Whitening

We offer Boutique Whitening – a premium at-home teeth whitening system that delivers superior results. You’ll notice a difference to the whiteness of your teeth in just a few days.

Using a double action formula, Boutique Whitening gels remove surface stains whilst being absorbed deep into the teeth.

Your dentist will confirm your suitability at a consultation and show you how to use the trays and gels. Top up gel is available to buy from the practice.

What does teeth whitening treatment involve?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that uses safe, professionally approved whitening products that bleach your teeth to restore a brighter smile.

Treatments can be in-practice with a dentist, at home using professional whitening kits, or a combination of both.

Your dentist takes impressions of your teeth to create custom made trays that exactly fit the shape of your teeth and gums.

They will show you how to apply the whitening gel at home, usually over the course of a few weeks.

How white can I have my smile?

Every patient is different, but you can expect your teeth to lighten by several shades.

Your dentist will show you a colour chart at the start and end of treatment so you can see the effect that whitening has had over the course of a few weeks.

Can anyone have their teeth whitened?

Most adults are suitable for teeth whitening, but it is important to be professionally assessed and treated by a dentist.

Some people, may be unsuitable, for example if they have gum disease.

Your dentist or dental care professional, such as a dental hygienist, will help you choose the best teeth whitening treatment for you.

Veneers & Composite Bonding

Veneers and composite bonding are cosmetic dental treatments that can quickly and painlessly correct flaws in your teeth to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

They can fix imperfections such as gaps between your teeth, tooth discolouration or chipped teeth.

Composite bonding

Composite bonding is also known as dental bonding or teeth bonding.

It is used to:

      • Cover up a chipped or cracked tooth
      • Close gaps between teeth
      • Change the shape of teeth
      • Even out worn teeth
      • Improve the colour of heavily stained teeth

The treatment involves the application of a tooth-coloured putty which is moulded to your teeth.

The result is a cosmetically improved smile, banishing problems that may be affecting your confidence or preventing you from smiling.

Veneers

Veneers are thin tooth-coloured shells bonded onto the teeth, hiding imperfections such as crooked, chipped, mis-shapen or stained teeth. Only minimal preparation of the treated tooth or teeth is required.

What type of veneers are available?

Porcelain veneers are a thin layer of porcelain placed over the surface of selected teeth to give you a white and more symmetrical smile.

Composite veneers use a composite resin that your dentist applies over your normal tooth or teeth.

They then shape the veneer to improve the tooth’s appearance.

How long does it take to have veneers fitted?

Patients usually need to attend two appointments with their dentist.

The first visit is for the preparation of your tooth or teeth, and second for the veneer fitting.

If you are considering dental veneer dentistry, please speak to your dentist who will discuss your options and suitability.

Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are used in dentistry to enhance the look of your teeth and your smile.

Crowns

Made from tooth-coloured porcelain, crowns protect and restore weakened, decaying or heavily filled teeth. They can also improve the aesthetics of damaged or heavily filled teeth.

Not only that, they can improve your oral health by helping prevent the spread of infection to adjacent teeth and gums.

Bridges

Dental bridges are artificial teeth used to close gaps left by one or more missing teeth. They are supported by the neighbouring (adjacent) teeth, so they can remain permanently in place.

Dental Implants

As well as making it hard to eat and drink, gaps and imperfections caused by loose and missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile.

Dental implants offer a long-lasting and life-changing tooth replacement solution.

The closest solution to natural teeth in terms of fit, function and aesthetics they restore a beautiful smile and your confidence – as well the freedom to eat and drink without worry.

A range of dental implant solutions

At David Neal Dental Langport we offer a wide range of implant solutions including traditional dental implants, implant-supported dentures and the advanced “Teeth in a Day” same day dental implant treatment.

Sometimes known as All on Four or same day teeth, the Teeth in a Day technique can be used to restore full sets of fixed teeth, your oral health and a beautiful new smile in just one day.

The skills and extensive training of our specialist oral surgeon and team of experienced restorative dentists means we successfully treat even the most complex cases, including patients with severe gum disease and bone loss.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium screws that replace your natural tooth roots. Oral surgery is required to place the implants into the jawbone.

A single replacement tooth, or a full bridge of artificial teeth, is then securely fixed onto the dental implants.

They remain in place night and day- they are not removable like a denture.
