At Aura Dental<\/strong>, we are an established pillar of the St John\u2019s Wood community. It is our mission statement to, \u2018provide unwavering clinical excellence in a calm, professional and friendly atmosphere.\u2019 Our longstanding relationship with our patients and the surrounding area is a testimony to the fact we have met this goal wholeheartedly. At Aura Dental, we offer a contemporary, holistic approach to dentistry – believing that providing patient centred, bespoke dental care that is catering to the specific needs of each individual patient, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, is the best way to establish trust and respect. We understand a trip to the dentist can be somewhat traumatic for some – especially our younger patients – so we hold empathy, care and consideration highly within our founding principles. Treatment from us is only carried out by a practitioner of the patient\u2019s choosing, whom they trust wholeheartedly and have a longstanding relationship with. Patient recommendations have helped us grow as a practice since the early days, and we are proud of the many referrals and recommendations we have achieved from satisfied patients as well as taking some pride in the smiles we have improved.<\/p>\n

\"InvisalignInvisible aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Aura, a large part of our practice concerns the installation of dental alignment aids and implants. Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood is one such treatment we offer here and is widely favoured amongst teenagers and young adults over contemporary dental alignment procedures such as fused braces. The basis of Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a> treatment is the use of a custom-made retainer mould, constructed from patented SmartTrack malleable plastic, being created of the patient\u2019s teeth. This retainer, when worn over the course of treatment – which depends on the severity of the case, but generally lasts around 12 months – gradually aligns the patient\u2019s teeth to the specifications set out with their chosen practitioner, before undertaking treatment. One of the reasons for Invisalign\u2019s popularity over conventional orthodontic treatments is that, when worn, the retainer is practically invisible to the naked eye. Thus, patients can undergo essential corrective dental alignment, without attracting any unwanted attention from peers or colleagues. Another reason for the success of Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> is that the retainer mouthpiece is removable – unlike fused braces – and as such can be worn at a patient’s leisure, at a time that is convenient to them, such as when sleeping.<\/p>\n

Lingual Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another dental alignment procedure we offer at Aura is the installation of Lingual braces. These are similar to conventional fused \u2018train-track\u2019 braces, however they are fitted to the inside of a patient\u2019s mouth – and as such are virtually undetectable from the outside. To install lingual braces, an impression of the patient’s teeth is made, by requesting they bite down on a piece of silicone – or by taking a digital rendering. After this, a custom-made metal bracket frame is constructed to the particular dimensions of a patient’s mouth. Then, after the brace has been constructed, it is fused to the backs of the patient’s teeth, allowing the alignment process to begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
