You know its that time of the year again….Christmas is coming.It creeps up every year with out a warning, and every year we struggle with what to get our loved ones. Well we have a solution…… Woodborough House Home Tooth Whitening Kit. I sat at home at the weekend, bombarded with talent shows and celebs making fools of themselves in the jungle for hideous amounts of money, and the only think I notice (although I am in the profession) is their sparkly white teeth. Well if they can do it, we can.
The home bleaching kit is great and easy to use. All the girls at WH have done it so if you want to chat to somebody about how it works, and what you have to do, then please ask them. They will be more than willing to help

So its the big night tonight! Who will be winning your votes? I have been talking to all our patients regarding the election, trying to find out who they are voting for, and I am still not sure. I suppose I need to decide by the end of the day. I will be told off by some very passionate patients if I don’t! Can they change the state of the economy? Will they sort out all of our countries problems? I don’t know.
I tell you one thing that has got my vote at the moment (excuse my very cheesy link) is our home bleaching kit. We have had a few patients in recently for their review appointments, after going off with their bleach trays and kits, and the results have been amazing!! Its such a great thing to do to lift yourself, and all our patients just won’t stop smiling because of it. We have even had a few of our more mature patients treating themselves to whitening too, and have been so glad that went ahead with the treatment. Our home whitening kit involves you coming into the surgery so your dentist can check if you will be a good candidate for the whitening (we need to check for crowns and fillings as they will not change colour). You have impressions taken of your upper and lower teeth, these are then sent of to a lab where they make your bespoke bleach trays made, and then 2 weeks later you come and pick them up. Its very easy to do, and the girls here are always a phone call away whenever you need any advice or help. We have all done it. As Sarah said to me when I first started “we must whitening your minging teeth”. Thanks Sarah! Well now I have a nice bright smile 
If you are interested in home whitening, then please talk to your dentist or a member of our team.

I popped in to Sarah’s surgery today, to see how one of our lovely young patients was getting on with her fixed braces. She works in the village, and has had her braces on for quite a long time now. I actually had mine fixed around the same time as her, so it was a race to the finish line! She has now had them removed and they look fab!! I cant believe what a difference the braces has made to her smile. It may seem like a marathon when you have fixed braces, but the results at the end of the treatment is well worth it. Having fixed braces is a big commitment, and special care needs to be taken when having them on. Good oral hygiene is so important when wearing braces, and making sure you attend all appointments at your orthodontist is also really important. You get to know your orthodontist well as you will be there every 6-8 weeks. She is so pleased with her straighter smile that she has now decided to have them whitened.
If you are interested in having your teeth straightened with either fixed or removable braces, or you would like to have your teeth whitened then please talk to our team.

One of the benefits of working at a dental practice is that we do get the opportunity to have our teeth fixed, whitened and straightened. Today our receptionist Sarah G and our nurse Sara are continuing treatment with Mark to help straighten their teeth, so I thought I would give you a little progress report on how they are getting on. Both girls are getting married this year, so they want the perfect smile to walk down the eisle with. They have both already whitened their teeth, and now they are both wearing Invisalign braces. Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental practitioner.
Sarah G is having what we call in the trade IPR (inter-proximal reduction) today. With Invisalign, in order to make space for teeth that need to move and rotate, small discs and instruments are used to “shave” minimal amounts of enamel off either sides of certain teeth. This makes very small spaces for the teeth to move to their straighter position. Sara has not long had her Invisalign alighners in (she is on week 3) and her appointment today is to have small attachments added to certain teeth. A white composite material is used to help anchor and pull teeth to a new position. They are bearly noticeable! Both our girls are so pleased with the progress so far. See if you can spot them next time you are in, and have a chat with them about Invisalign.
If you are interested in teeth whitening, straightening, Invisalign or even fixed braces please talk to one of our dental professionals. They will be more than happy to help

All of the dentists at Woodborough House have been busy with new patient exams today.

The dentists can also provide you with information and advice regarding any of our cosmetic treatments, including tooth whitening, implants and invisible braces.

As the weather is gloomy and we all like a little something to brighten our day, here at WH we are running a special offer on our tooth whitening treatments. Until the end of April there will be £100 discount on the treatments. The home kit and the in house whitening will be available to you at a fantastic price of £299.
Here is a break down of the difference between both treatments………
The home kit involves us taking some impressions of your teeth. These impressions are then sent of to a laboratory and 2 weeks later we have the bleaching trays made to fit your mouth and teeth. They are soft clear trays and will hold the bleaching solution against the tooth surface. The treatment works better if you wear the trays at night, while sleeping, but if you find this difficult, you can wear them during the day.My mum wears them while shes doing the house work! The in house whitening treatment involves you sitting in surgery with a bleach solution on your teeth while a special light shines on them in order to activate the solution. It takes about an hour, and you do get better results if you incorporate this with home bleaching as well.
Tooth whitening is very safe, and is a great way of making yourself feel good. If you have any questions regarding tooth whitening feel free to ask any of the staff at Woodborough House . We have all done it here

Nae was busy today, with a patient who has decided to have her teeth whitened and also to replace some old fillings. As the patient wanted white composite fillings we decided that it was best that the patient did a couple of weeks of home whitening before changing the old fillings. This enables Nae to pick the correct shade for the new fillings, as her patient will then have lovely bright white teeth. Nae explained how the whitening treatment works, and explained what the patient needs to do at home. We advised the patient to try and avoid food and drinks that are likely to stain(ie: black coffee, red wine, curry and beetroot). Teeth are more porous during the period that you bleach, so the teeth are more likely to pick up stains. Nothing a good polish with our Hygienist won’t fix though! We even had time to catch up on the latest Eastenders gossip. Nae was really behind with the times! We are looking forward to seeing the results in a couple of weeks (and the continuing chaos of Albert Square)
If you are interested in whitening your teeth, then ask our reception team or your dentist. We have all done it at WH, so have a look at our pearly whites when you are next in.

It has been manic at the practice today! All the team have been working really hard to get all our patients sorted and happy before the Christmas Holidays.
Sen had a lovely lady in interested in improving her smile. She has had a crown on her front tooth, but wants to have it redone for cosmetic reasons. The only thing that is holding her back is finance. Here at Woodborough House we can offer our patients a 0% finace scheme, when treatment costs reach a certain threshold. This enables you to start treatment, but spread the cost over the year. You can use the finace to help pay for crowns, dentures, bridges, veneers, implants, and cosmetic treatment. This is just one the many things Woodborough House can do for you to help make you visit here more pleasurable, and to keep you all smiling.

Well, who said you can’t have a white Christmas? One of our lovely patients from Pangbourne walked through the practice door today and dazzled us all with her “pearly whites”. Every time she visits us for her 6 monthly dental check up, she always comments about having her teeth whitened. Well, she recently decided to go for it! Sarah took impressions of her teeth, sent them off to the lab, and within a week we had her bleaching trays back for her. We can not believe what a difference it has made, and she is smiling from ear to ear since she had the whitening done. Christmas 2009 will definitely be a white one for her! Woodborough House has kept her smiling.
