Progress and Changes

We are fast approaching out first anniversary at Augusta Dental Centre and what a fantastic year it has been. However, the pursuit of excellence continues and we are going to introduce a couple of changes.

I am particularly pleased to welcome Dr Sheila Glaze to the practice, who is a trained, general and cosmetic dental surgeon, with over 20 year’s experience, Sheila is expert in the physiology of the head. As a consequence facial aesthetics has been a very natural professional progression. Over a number of years and following extensive training in Harley Street, she has been accredited and has undertaken many procedures including Botox, Restylane Perlane, Sculptra, Isolagen and Chemical Peels.

The second change will see the introduction of the Denplan Scheme to our practice. Denplan is an award winning payment plan specialist; it is a preventive programme, with a special emphasis on prevention through advice, therapy, counselling and regular attendance. Membership covers a range of options and plans, which are listed on our website (www.augustadental.co.uk). Denplan offers numerous advantages but one of the key features is the Supplemental Insurance that includes out of hours cover, 24 hour emergency helpline when away from home and worldwide emergency cover. I should stress that there has not been an increase in the fees and we now have a Membership option that includes the Supplemental Insurance from only £3.69.

As we approach our first anniversary, it would be easy to sit back and reflect on what we have achieved so far. I would rather continue to strive for excellence and look forward to what we can to improve our services. Roll on 2011.

A Whiter X Factor

I must confess that I am not a regular follower of the ups and downs of the X-Factor television programme, but I was fascinated to read that as the show enters the final stages, some of the contestants are rushing out to get their teeth whitened. Clearly a white, confident smile is an essential part of the all-important image package, but why is this the case? Image and how you see yourself in front of others is crucial to your self-confidence, which has to be paramount for any performer. You can’t go up on stage and try and hide your smile, as your smile is an essential way of expressing yourself, and how you feel, and you can’t perform without that emotion. At one extreme you have the at least one of the X Factor judges who has had extensive dental work done; the net result is a brilliantly white smile, which looks a bit false. At the other end there are aged rockers who are infamous for their lack of teeth. In between are the rest of us, who want a natural-looking and lovely smile for those all-important first impressions.

Research has shown that colour is the most important factor in determining the attractiveness of a smile. Tooth whitening is a quick, safe, painless procedure that restores the natural colour of the teeth with no structural change to the teeth.

Smile and give yourself your very own X Factor boost.
