Revealing the true you with our dentist in Crawley
You might think of dentists as being completely focused on dental health, drilling and fillings and nothing but a chore, but this isn’t how we operate. At Enhance Dental, our dentist in Crawley can meet your needs, with clinical treatments and cosmetics opening up a whole new option for you to reveal the true you from teeth outwards.
Developments in High Street cosmetics and the introduction of minimally invasive procedures like injectables and chemical peels have really opened up the options to patients seeking cosmetic treatments. Unfortunately, as they are limited regulations, this availability also provides additional risk and little opportunity for recourse if things went wrong.
This is where local clinics like ours step in, providing a popular range of treatments that were previously carried out in unregulated environments by hairdressers and beauticians and bringing them under the clinical supervision and regulation that we have all come to expect from our local dental clinics.
The range of treatments
Minimally invasive cosmetic procedures are widely available, and it is certainly not necessary to have them carried out by a fully qualified dental team. But our knowledge of facial anatomy and appreciation of facial beauty certainly get high-quality, repeatable results.
Botox
This is one of the world’s most popular injectable treatments applied with a syringe and extremely small gauge needle. Botox involves multiple micro-injections just below the skin, relaxing musculature in the area of the injection site. When used skillfully and artfully, Botox can both tighten and relax areas of the face by treating muscles attached to problematic areas rather than those areas themselves.
There is a significant delay in its final appearance, taking just over 24 hours to show its full effects; this can lead to amateur practitioners over-applying the product and patients seeing the full effect later.
Our dentist in Crawley also makes use of Botox to treat excessive sweating as a semi-permanent antiperspirant.
Dermal fillers
Fillers are very useful and versatile cosmetic treatments, giving great control over how much volume is added to the face or how a slimming effect is created through contouring. The convenience of the treatment and its temporary effects make it a great option for those wishing to try cosmetic procedures without the cost and complications of more permanent treatments.
Dermal fillers are extremely useful for aesthetic treatments, but overuse has led to some unpleasant consequences and fads online amongst younger patients. Our dentist in Crawley only provides dermal fillers to those over the age of 18.
PDO thread lifts
PDO threads are thin surgical threads that can be placed under the skin on the face. They are used to lift tissue and can be a great option for those who experience some of the sagging effects that come with age and the loss of elastin and collagen. These artificial structures run in the same direction as the natural elastin and collagen and take the load. They can also be very precisely adjusted, giving a range of results from a general appearance of good health to a more impactful change.
This is far from an exhaustive list, and if you want to know all about our cosmetics and options, please feel free to get contact us.
