As the world chases the dream of eternal youth, there are so many options to choose from to keep us looking young and a rather fashionable choice right now is botox. Every city in the world is offering this clever non-surgical solution to old age and deep in the heart of London’s wealthy W.1, it’s as common as a trip to the dentist, which ironically is generally the place to get the treatment at the moment. Most cosmetically orientated dentists will offer botox and dermal fillers as an extension to regular cosmetic dental treatments so that not only the teeth look beautiful in the mouth, but also the face that houses it. And if you think about it, an injection of botox is done in exactly the same way as an anaesthetic is administered into the gums, with finite needles and pinpoint precision. Botox is an intense protein injection, intended to smooth out the wrinkles on the face, lines around the lips and to make the lips look fuller too. Treatment takes around 15 minutes and is a perfect addition just after any dental work has been completed- taking around a few days to settle and lasting up to 6 months. Prices start from around £200 per area, but consider busy people on the move; combine botox injections with CEREC treatments… that’s a new face and mouth in a long lunch hour!

June 11th, 2010
If you have just paid out hundreds or even thousands of pounds for cosmetic dentistry work you want to be sure that your smile looks its very best. You may not have realised but the smile is about more than just the teeth and a mouth full of beaming white, healthy looking teeth will look slightly incongruous with wrinkles all around it. After all, every great picture deserves a great frame.
There is an easy solution to firm the skin around the mouth to complete the look of a great smile. Dermal fillers such as collagen firm and plump the skin around the mouth by using a substance called hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds moisture in cells. This stops them from drying out and keeps them firm and fresh.
More and more dentists in the UK are now offering dermal fillers as part of a standard practice. The actual procedure is relatively painless and involves several small injections with a very fine needle. These can even take place after an anaesthetic gel has been applied to the area in question to minimise feeling even more. This will mean the whole procedure is completely painless.
Most dermal fillers last for somewhere between three and six months before they need to be topped up. They are perfectly safe for use in the body and will break down naturally after a period of time. Central London dentists are now offering dermal fillers as part of a wider smile makeover or as one off treatments to improve the appearance of the skin on the face and neck. Make an appointment to find out more details.
Look younger and healthier with Botox from London W1 dentist
June 1st, 2010
Cosmetic treatments have come a long way in the last twenty years in terms of affordability and availability. Nowhere is this more evident than with Botox. Botox is a form of dermal filler that aims to firm and plump the skin reducing wrinkles and the other signs of aging. Botox is especially relevant to dentists and dentists who have recently had cosmetic dental treatment because the skin around the mouth frames the smile and could spoil the appearance of an otherwise brilliant and stunning smile.
Originally Botox was used solely by the very rich and wealthy because it was very expensive but over the last ten or so years it has been adopted and offered by more and more cosmetic dentists in the UK. This increase of supply has brought the price down to a more competitive level and allowed more people to benefit from the rejuvenating effect of Botox.
Botox works by preventing signals transmitting through facial tissues. It is these signals that cause tiny muscle movements that over time lead to the appearance of wrinkles. By temporarily blocking these signals, the wrinkle appears to disappear and the skin looks younger, smoother and firmer. There is no surgical procedure involved with Botox. It is injected using an ordinary syringe, into an area of skin that has been numbed with an anaesthetic gel. This means there is very little pain and discomfort other than a slight feeling of numbness
There is also very little risk involved if carried out by a trained London W1 dentist as Botox has been judged to be perfectly safe for use in the human body and breaks down naturally over the course of about four months.

Every great picture needs a great frame and the same is true for a great smile. With the improvements in dental technology over the last twenty years, the possibilities for improving the appearance of teeth for patients of all ages has increased almost beyond belief. It is now possible to reverse even the most severe damage and cosmetic dentists can produce stunning results. For many patients who have undergone cosmetic dentistry treatment to improve their appearance they also might consider improving the appearance of the skin around the mouth.
Dermal fillers such as Botox can make skin appear firmer and younger completing the smile makeover transformation and taking years off the appearance of the patient. Botox has existed for many years but in the last decade it has really become more accepted as another normal beauty treatment. As it has become more widely available it has also become more affordable.
Botos works by blocking the signals that are transmitted through facial muscles. It is these transmissions that cause the muscles to spasm and create creases we know as wrinkles. By interrupting this movement the appearance of wrinkles is reduced and the skin looks younger and firmer.
Botox involves no surgical cutting of the skin and can be achieved with a few injections. City of London dentists will apply an anaesthetic gel to the area prior to treatment to make the treatment as painless as possible. The treatment involves very little risk of carried out by a trained dentist and will last up to four months before it needs topping up.

Dermal fillers like collagen and hyaluronic acid are used to add volume to certain areas of the skin. This has the effect of smoothing out wrinkles and making the patient appear younger. The are being increasingly used by dentists as part of a more comprehensive smile makeover treatment to frame dental work that has already been carried out.
Dermal fillers work by blocking the transmission of signals between muscles. This has the effect of reducing muscle movement, which is the primary cause of wrinkles in the skin. One of the biggest worries about dermal fillers is their safety. If they are injected by a trained cosmetic dentist, in the proper conditions, there is very little risk involved in using dermal fillers. Some patients may experience some mild inflammation in the few days after treatment but this will subside naturally causing little discomfort.
The results of dermal fillers usually show after a couple of days and continue for up to four months. They can then be topped up with further injections with no risk. This is because the body will have naturally broken down the last injected matter.
If used correctly, dermal fillers can have an amazing transformative effect on the face. It can make patients look years younger in only matter of days with a minimum of fuss and risk. Make an appointment with a Central London dentist to discuss the cost and further benefits of dermal fillers.
Reverse the aging process with dermal fillers from City of London dentist
November 21st, 2009
Dentists are increasingly offering small-scale cosmetic facial treatments as part of a wider smile makeover treatment. A smile makeover is a comprehensive restructuring of the smile to give more even and white teeth and an all round more attractive appearance. Just as every picture needs a frame, the smile needs a healthy and firm looking lips and facial tissue to complete the appearance.
Facial tissue wrinkles and sags over time as one of the inevitabilities of life. Even the most rigorous skincare regime can only delay the process. Dermal fillers, such as collagen and Botox can artificially reduce and even reverse the impact of aging on the skin. When injected into the facial muscles they interrupt the transmissions of nerve endings which cause movement in the muscles. It is this repeated movement that causes tissue to wrinkle and sag.
First used in the US about twenty years ago, dermal fillers are no longer the preserve of the rich and famous. The wider availability combined with a greater affordability means that dermal fillers are now considered a normal cosmetic treatment like a hair cut.
If applied by a professional, dermal fillers carry little or no risk and involve no surgical cutting of the skin beyond an injection. Because they mostly utilise substances that occur naturally in the body and have only temporary effects there is little risk of any long-term damage. The active ingredient hyaluronic acid is the substance that naturally makes skin look plump and healthy.
90 per cent of patients notice a visible improvement in their skin within 48 hours and treatments last up to four months before they need topping up. Make an appointment with a City of London dentist to find out more about dermal fillers and the benefits for your skin.

Dermal fillers, like all cosmetic surgery, were once the sole preserve of the rich and famous but they are now increasingly affordable. This greater availability has removed some of the stigma attached to cosmetic enhancers and having a dermal filler injection is now no more unusual than having a haircut.
If applied by a trained professional dermal fillers carry little or no risk and because treatments are only temporary any risk of permanent damage due to bad treatment is reduced. Most of the common dermal fillers use compounds such as hyaluronic acid which already exist naturally in the body, further reducing the risk of a bad reaction to treatment. Hyaluronic acid is the substance in the skin that gives it a plump and healthy appearance.
Treatmenst are usually carried out under a local anaesthetic to make it more comfortable, and for those who don’t like needles this can be applied by using an anaesthetic cream applied half an hour before.

Results usually begin to show after a couple of days and can last up to four months before a top up treatment is required.
