Can I go to the dentist for facial aesthetics?
It is common knowledge that patients come to the dentists for a range of different dental treatments. You might have been to our dentist in Blackwood to have a tooth filled or maybe you have come to the practice for a hygiene appointment. It’s possible that you have a tooth or some teeth missing and are undergoing treatment for their replacement or, indeed, you may have had treatment for a problem such as crooked teeth. All of these will most probably sound like common reasons that you would visit us here at Laffan Dental.
Perhaps a more modern branch of treatment which can be performed with our dentist in Blackwood is treatment for facial aesthetics. With the modernisation of our society, there has been an increasing focus placed upon our looks. This extends to many different areas, of course, but it seems that there is a particular focus placed upon facial aesthetics.
Amongst our patients it seems that it is less well known that our dentist in Blackwood provides treatments for facial aesthetics, which is absolutely understandable, as this is something for which awareness is currently growing and therefore treatments are expanding. In the past, facial aesthetics treatment wouldn’t have been available at all. It makes good sense that dental practitioners, who have an extensive understanding of facial anatomy, would offer facial aesthetics procedures to our patients.
What are some common treatments for facial aesthetics?
It is important that we note that not every dentist will offer the following options for facial aesthetics treatment. For detailed information about what we have available for you here at Laffan Dental please get in contact with us, or check out our website, looking for the ‘treatments’ page.
Here at Laffan Dental we are pleased to offer dermal fillers. They can be used by our dentist in Blackwood to fill an area which has become gaunt or saggy perhaps, or they can be used to enhance particular features. Our dermal fillers are created using hyaluronic acid, this is something which occurs naturally, but as we age, our bodies produce less of it which leads to the hollowing of our features.
Utilising dermal fillers can be advantageous for several reasons. If you are looking at ways in which you can reclaim your youthful appearance, these fillers are one sort of aesthetic treatment which can help you along the way. By creating a more filled out and plumper look, ageing lines can be reduced, skin smoothed out and areas that have begun to look sunken, restored. For some patients this may instil a sense of confidence in your appearance, for others you may wish to adapt your facial aesthetics as an outward expression of personality or artistic nature. Some may find that creating a more youthful mien is a form of self-care and therefore incorporate it into their regular beauty regime.
