Cosmetic Dentist - London is the Hotspot

Dubbed the ‘Hollywood smile' the proliferation of beauty and glamour magazines alongside the increase in makeover shows all add to the increase in demand on the cosmetic dentist - London is now a hotspot for cosmetic procedures.

Cosmetic Dentist

London features some of the best cosmetic dentist practices around that offer not just aesthetic solutions to disfigured or discoloured teeth, but also offer a great dental health service - something an increasing amount of patients are turning to as they struggle to find NHS treatments.

Women opt for cosmetic dentistry

Healthy looking teeth make people appear younger and healthier and it's little wonder then that women have led the cosmetic trend for teeth whitening and other aesthetic dental procedures. It's not surprising then that the majority of people who use a cosmetic dentist, London and across Britain are women.

• According to the BACD, the majority of people who have a cosmetic dentist, London specialist or one-off aesthetic treatment are women - 60% of all procedures are for women.
• Women are also twice as likely to have teeth whitening.
• A dramatic rise in porcelain veneers shows demand has increased by an incredible 144%.
• White fillings were also in demand, increasing by 67%

Image conscious Britain

The increased demand for teeth whitening and veneers and the boom many of the cosmetic dentist London practices are experiencing has to be put down to the fact that the British public are becoming much more image conscious. It's been shown that requesting white fillings from your cosmetic dentist is often the first step to further cosmetic dentist treatments, such as veneers.
More and more people are turning to a good cosmetic dentist - London has some of the top specialists available - which is indicative of a society that is more accepting of cosmetic treatments in general, as well as being a society that is increasingly body conscious.
