Dr Amitis and The Image Dental Clinic

May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Within a minute of meeting someone our opinion of them is formed so an engaging smile makes all the difference in that first encounter.

Image Dental Clinic caters for clients requiring general dental health and a variety of treatments including fillings, crowns, cosmetic procedures, a revolutionary new teeth whitening technique and smile makeovers

Dr Amitis emphasises the importance of choosing the right dentist to suit you and your family’s needs. “Dentistry as a whole has improved a great deal over the past 25 years,” said Dr Amitis. “ The concept is no longer teeth removal, the modern approach is focused on saving the teeth rather than pulling them out! There are more cosmetic and preventive procedures involved and the whole dental environment is now more patient oriented.

Regular dental checkups allow your dentist to find early signs of decay and disease and treat problems at a manageable stage.

“We place a strong emphasis on prevention and client education” said Dr Amitis “and promote regular check ups and hygienist appointments.  We also provide our patients with educational material on dental health.

“Unhealthy teeth and gums can cause many problems, including bad breath, loose teeth, poor digestion and even heart disease.

“Dental hygiene is the answer. Regular and effective tooth brushing techniques are very important. Regular flossing in order to clean in between the teeth to prevent plaque accumulation and decay is equally important. Controlling carbohydrates in your diet is another crucial element.

"People tend not to know dental disease is almost entirely preventable. By investing time in a good oral health routine both morning and night, your oral health can and will improve."

The trust we place in our dentist often leads to a long-standing relationship. On my visit to Dr Amitis’s Image Dental Clinic I was impressed by the warm and welcoming environment and friendly service.

Teeth are the body’s hardest substance and provide structural support for the face muscles. Healthy and beautiful looking teeth give you a younger, healthier look with fuller lips and fewer wrinkles.

“Teeth whitening is undoubtedly the most popular cosmetic treatment we offer at Image Dental Clinic” said Dr Amitis.” Teeth naturally get discoloured particularly if you are a smoker or if you drink tea, coffee or red wine. We use the WY-10 technique, which takes about an hour.  It is safe, pain free and the results are amazing.

“Having straight teeth is important. Teeth that are crooked or misaligned affect the way you talk or eat and how your smile looks. We offer the Inman Aligner, which is an award winning teeth-straightening technology. There is no need to wear orthodontic braces! Over the course of 6 to 16 weeks (depending on your teeth structure) we can have your teeth straightened and improve your smile.

“I had protruding teeth as a teenager and needed some treatment. My parents took me to a very reputable orthodontist in Tehran, Iran. He was very nice and had a clean, well-organised, and modern clinic. I still remember the beautiful treatment room and the waiting room, in particular. It was very cosy and comfortable, with nice soothing of music. The staff were kind and caring, so my whole experience was very good. I was treated very well and after about two years my braces were removed and my teeth were in perfect order!

“But ... the beauty and comfort did not last long! I broke one of my front teeth in an accident the next day!! I had to go to another dentist who fortunately was also brilliant. I had to go through a lot of treatments to fix the broken tooth, but overall I had a rather pleasant time!

“Unlike my family who were rather nervous about seeing their dentists, I looked forward to seeing mine! I have no doubt that my prolonged exposure to dentistry as a teenager and the excellent results achieved in both cases definitely had a lot to do with my decision to become a dentist.”

Please visit your dentist regularly and always check they have the right credentials. Dr Amitis is a member of the UK General Dental Council (GDC) and the British Dental Association (BDA) as well as holding a degree in Dental Surgery (DDS)
