Benefits of Having Straight Teeth - Menston Dental Practice-Implants Braces Cosmetic Dentistry

Having a beautiful smile certainly looks great, and who would say no to that. However the benefits of having straight teeth are not just cosmetic. In my 23 years of experience patients want to have straight teeth for a variety of reasons. Having straight teeth impacts on our physical health, mental and emotional well-being and can even have social benefits.

Health Benefits of Straight Teeth

These include:

Healthier gums. Crooked or misaligned teeth are more difficult to clean. This can lead to staining and discolouration, swollen and bleeding gums, gum disease and tooth decay. Once the teeth are properly aligned the gums fit better around the teeth, brushing and flossing becomes easier.
Reduces risk of tooth injury. Protruding teeth are at a significantly increased risk of damage from trauma. I see many patients that having suffered an injury from a fall or knock and sports injuries. Any damage is permanent and will require re-treatment in the future.
Eliminates problems associated with an improper bite. If the teeth do not meet properly this can lead to problems with speech, eating, excessive wear, jaw joint problems, headaches and neck pain.

Boost Your Confidence

A beautiful smile can increase your mental and emotional well-being by giving you loads of confidence. I have lost count the number of times I have seen my patients transform their lives by having the confidence to smile more.When you’re self conscious because of crooked teeth, it takes a toll on your self-esteem. When you look good, you feel good. This in turn has a positive effect on relationships, school, work and life in general.

Social Benefits of Straight teeth

Studies have shown that dental appearance is important in social interaction. Those with an nice smile are seen as more successful, attractive, healthier, happier and more trustworthy. Whether we like it or not first impressions count.

Having straight teeth has many benefits and has the potential to improve your life in multiple ways. if you are ready to discuss ways of improving your smile then contact us at Menston Dental Practice for a free consultation.

Dr Butt attended to my painful tooth in a very humane and courteous manner, the whole procedure from contacting the practice to extraction of my painful tooth was very professional. His (dental)chair side manners and clinical expertise is second to none, and in discussion while explaining the procedure showed how updated he keeps himself to all the latest in dentistry.Thank you Dr Butt and your team.

Exceptional staff, great facilities, and fantastic practitioners. The hygienist is excellent. The practice is very safe for and accepting of autistic patients and transgender patients. I travel 45 minutes each way to get back to the practice, and it's genuinely worth every second and every penny.If you've had negative experiences with dentistry as a disabled, neurodivergent, or queer patient, I cannot recommend Menston Dental Practice enough.

This is a fabulous dental practice. I have been going monthly for the last 18 months for a brace fitting and tightening and can't recommend it highly enough. Dr Butt is a perfectionist, I am delighted with the results so far. Dr Butt is open, honest and clear (about the dental work and the finances) but also funny and friendly. The whole team is very friendly and do a great job of putting you at ease.I have now completed my treatment and I couldn't be more delighted with the end result or the over all experience. As a result of how happy I have been with my orthodontic treatment I have moved to Menston Dental practice for all my dental care. I can not recommend them all highly enough.

Dr Butt has been an amazing dentist. I was introduced to his service about 6 years ago and would not go to anyone else. His level of care is top notch. He is a true professional with the highest standards. He has transformed my teeth- from replacing old fillings, crowns and prepared a fantastic implant. He will take the time to make sure you are completely happy and satisfied. His staff are all very friendly and provide a great service. I'd highly recommend Menston Dental Practice to anyone.
