Brace yourself for a perfect aesthetic match
7th Mar 2011
An orthodontics practice is joining forces with a facial aesthetics expert to provide patients with a complete set of treatment options.
Lincoln Orthodontics is expanding the range of services it offers to patients looking for that perfect smile after teaming up with Dr Guinevere Smith from Facial Perfection.
Guin, who is a qualified dentist and expert in facial aesthetics, will be holding a clinic at Lincoln Orthodontics on the third Wednesday of every month offering non-surgical treatments, including line softening and dermal fillers.
She'll also be on hand to speak to visitors to Lincoln Orthodontics' Open Day on Saturday 2 April.
Since qualifying from the University of Sheffield's School of Clinical Dentistry in 2005 Guin has studied advanced techniques in Botulinum toxin (Botox) and fillers (Restylane).
She is able to provide expert advice and a comprehensive treatment plan for anti-aging and facial skin care.
Specialist orthodontist and owner of Lincoln Orthodontics, Dr Matthew Clare, said the services Facial Perfection offers complement those already on offer at the Deacon Road practice.
‘In the past people had to put up with the smile they were born with but thanks to advances in technology that is no longer the case,' explained Matthew. ‘We transform patients' smile by guiding their existing teeth from their original position into an ideal one using invisible, removable and fixed braces.
‘Attitudes towards appearance have changed, with cosmetic dentistry and non-surgical facial treatments becoming increasingly popular. We've helped over 1,700 adults improve their smile in the last five years and in a recent MORI poll of adults in England and Wales aged 15 and over 48% said they would like their smile improved.
‘People used to think they had to make do with their appearance, particularly when it came to their teeth, but when they realise they can do something about their smile it's hugely empowering.
‘When a patient's treatment is complete it can be life-changing: their confidence levels visibly soar and it even changes how they react with other people.'
Guin added: ‘I'm delighted to be working with Matthew and his team of specialist orthodontists who are dedicated to helping people achieve the smile they've always wanted.
‘In some cases however this may require additional treatments such as teeth whitening, rejuvenating the skin around the patient's mouth or enhancing their lips to improve their facial profile.
‘More and more people are realising that just because they've reached a certain age it doesn't mean they are past their sell-by date. We all want to look the best we possibly can whatever our age and often it's just a case of giving nature a helping hand!
‘We can make small changes which have a dramatic impact on how people look and feel without the need for more invasive surgery.'
