Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Sturminster Newton

Never before have there been so many ways to have your teeth straightened.

Teeth straightening is a dental speciality known as Orthodontics. Using fixed braces or removable aligners, teeth are slowly and precisely moved to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

Dentists and Orthodontists have been straightening teeth for decades, but a lot has changed in that time. Traditional fixed braces will always be a fantastic way to straighten teeth, but advances in technology have now introduced a range of discreet alternatives. From clear removable aligners, clear fixed braces to invisible wires hidden behind the teeth, these aesthetic options have seen a huge rise in the number of adults seeking straighter teeth.

Orthodontic treatment is most often used to improve the appearance and alignment of crooked, protruding or crowded teeth, and to correct problems with the bite of the teeth. Whether you have mild crowding or a complex bite problem, our teeth straightening dentist our dentist, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Sturminster Dental Care in Sturminster Newton we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Clear aligners
  • Traditional Fixed and removable Braces

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile. our dentist will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

My wife and I visited Sturminster Dental Care today having been away from the area for some time and having had to use other dentists. The reception and treatment we received was outstanding. The reception team are kind, professional, and welcoming. Emmanuel ( our dentist) was truly exceptional, so skilled, gentle and supportive … simply second to none. Darren ( our hygienist) is equally brilliant and uses new and modern techniques which are much more effective and gentle on the gums and teeth. A really outstanding practice which we highly recommend. In addition their fees are very reasonable for the service they provide. Thank you.

I had never met the clinician before but he totally put me at ease. I was given the option of having the tooth extracted there and then or to wait for a later date.As I'm due to fly to Canada next week I opted to have treatment there and then. He was so gentle and explained each step of the process. Apart from the injection I did not feel anything - except relief when the tooth came out easily. I was given clear advice on what to do/not to do for the next 24 hours and to contact the surgery if I had any concerns. I am really grateful and pleased with the outcome ... no pun intended. :)

An excellent dental surgery. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Ian is an excellent dentist and Wendy is without doubt the best hygienist I have experienced. Everywhere from the moment you step in the door looks and feels clinically clean.

Helen the dental hygienist is a lovely lady and very very good at her job. She always introduces me to the nurse and does her best to make me feel comfortable and always advises me of what she is going to do. Helen really encouraged me to give up smoking. With her gently persuasive approach. She also advises me on how to clean my teeth better. Thank you Helen for your service. Keep doing what you do.
