This is a type of orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are made of a clear, smooth plastic material that is virtually invisible when worn.
What are the benefits to Invisalign? The main difference between Invisalign and traditional braces is that they are clear, therefore nobody will know! Additionally, unlike traditional braces, Invisalign are removable and therefore gives you the flexibility to fit them around your life.
How long will my treatment take? Duration of treatment will depend on the complexity of your case, but most cases are completed between 6-12 months.
What can I expect during my treatment? Your initial appointment will include a full mouth examination to assess your suitability of Invisalign. We will then complete a 3D scan which can provide you with a before and after simulation of your teeth and an estimated completion date. The clear aligners can then be fitted during one appointment.
Whitening is a very simple, safe and effective process to brighten your smile and remove blemishes caused by different foods, drinks or smoking. Home whitening is the most effective way to achieve these results.
What does it entail? A digital, tailored scan is taken of your mouth and teeth to create bespoke fitted whitening trays just for you. We will then supply these along with whitening gel to use in the comfort of your own home for between 2-4 hours per day.
Does is cause any symptoms? Occasionally you may experience some slight sensitivity due to the whitening solution, however your dentist or hygienist can guide you through any specific hints/tips to reduce this.
How long does it take? Generally the home whitening can take up to 2 weeks to achieve the result you want – however this is based on the starting shade of your teeth. Most patients will notice a significant difference within the first few days.

“Composite bonding” is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material (composite) is placed and shaped on the teeth to improve their appearance. It's commonly used to fix issues like chipped or discoloured teeth, close gaps between teeth, or reshape misaligned teeth.
What are the benefits to composite bonding? The advantages to composite bonding is that we are able to enhance and restore your tooth shape with absolutely no drilling or injections, often within only one appointment.
How long does composite bonding last? In order to gain the best from your bonding, maintenance is imperative. Along with frequent dental hygiene visits, thorough tooth brushing and flossing and care with stain causing foods and drinks, your composite bonding will typically last 5-7 years.
How many teeth will I need to have treated? This will all depend on your desires and goals. Together with your cosmetic dentist at Your Dentist Thame, you will be able to discuss your concerns and wanted outcome to achieve the look you are after. During your consultation, we will be able to advice you on how many teeth would benefit from this treatment.
