I really enjoy reading fashion magazines and gossip magazines when am having a break and am relaxing at weekends. They are also a great way of learning about celebrity smile makeovers.
This week I saw before and after pictures of Cheryl Cole, Kate Beckinsale and Celine Dion.
Cheryl Cole used to have prominent canines and small lateral incisors, which are now more symmetrical and proportional to each other. From the photos, it looks like she may have had veneers.
Kate Beckinsale had very yellow teeth prior to becoming a Hollywood star, and know she has a beautiful pearly white smile
Celine Dion used to have very crowded and yellow teeth, indicating she may have had braces and veneers to improve her smiles.
Getting a beautiful smile improves one’s confidence and can be lifechanging. I used to have crooked teeth and after having six month braces treatment I have now straight teeth and am proud of them and am more confident when smiling and speaking.

BBC radio Leicester asked Kal to come in for an interview on Wednesday 5th November to talk about cosmetic dentistry.
The radio presenter Rupal asked Kal questions on different types of cosmetic dentistry such as:
- what happens during a cosmetic consultation?
- what are veneers etc
Kal highlighted the importance of having a healthy mouth prior to undergoing any form of cosmetic dentistry. Once the mouth is healthy, then cosmetic work can be started. He stressed that a good cosmetic dentist not only will have great skills himself but will be using an excellent dental lab and the best dental materials on the market.
Kal also highlighted that we treat a lot of very nervous patients and that they do have neglected mouths due to their fear of dentists. He explained how we have been able to treat successfully all the anxious patients we see and we have given them great smiles to be proud of and show off.

We have been offering the Inman Aligner at our practice for a while and we were proud to be the first practice in Leicester to offer the Inman Aligner.
Since we were the first practice to offer it in our area we have been inundated with patients from all over the Midlands, from Ravenshead to Burton upon Trent.
The Inman aligner is a great way of treating crooked teeth as it straightens teeth quickly and it is hardly noticeable when worn.
The Inman Aligner is a removable brace that can straighten crowded front teeth. We just finished treatment on a patient and the treatment took less than 3 months!
Gone are the days when it would take years to straighten teeth!

Sometimes both Kal and I get patients emailing us enquiring whether they are suitable for certain treatments, asking us for costs and appropriate treatments. Sometimes we even get photographs emailed to us from places all over the country, from nearby Leicester to Glasgow.
Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible for us to diagnose a problem and to come up with the best treatment and costs without actually seeing the patient! It is absolutely fundamental to go to the dentist so that:
-full detailed medical history is taken
-full thorough dental check up of the mouth and teeth is carried out
-radiographs are taken
only in this way can a dentist come up with a diagnosis and a treatment plan best suited for the individual. Each person is different and therefore each one of us will need different types of treatments.
Here at the Dental Suite, we carry out a very thorough check up and use the latest technology to aid diagnosis.

Kal has just got back from an aesthetics course ran by a famous American dentist. He came back to Loughborough feeling very enthusiastic as he felt he had gained so much from this experience. Both Kal and myself are very keen on attending courses all around the country and the world. In this way we ensure that we are always aware of the new technologies and are always improving our knowledge and skills.
We have come across many people asking us how do you find a good dentist. Our response is always:
- look at their postgraduate qualifications
-look at their before and after cases
-ask to speak to existing patients
-ask you family and friends
Therefore, a good cosmetic dentist will have attended a lot of courses worldwide and will have a great portfolio of cases to show as well. Many of our patients who come from Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Loughborough and other parts of the UK are shown a slideshow of cases on their initial consultation.
Make sure you do your research when looking for a good, experienced dentist

More and more people have become aware about veneers as a way to achieve beautiful white smiles. Programmes like extreme makeover and 10 years younger have shown some of the results that can be achieved with veneers.
Veneers are a great way of masking discoloured teeth, reshaping broken or chipped teeth, and aligning slighly tilted teeth. Veneers are very thin porcelain facets that are cemented on teeth to cover any small defects in natural teeth.
Katie Price, aka Jordan, recently admitted on her TV programme that she had veneers done to improve her smile. While flicking through a magazine I also noticed many other celebrities that had amazing smile makeovers. Some of these celebrities include Kate Beckinsale, Martine McCutcheon, Hillary Duff, Tom Cruise.
I recently saw one of Kal’s patients from Oadby, Leicestershire who had a complete smilemakeover done with veneers and she just look great, it was such an amazing transformation!
Check our website for more information on veneers!

Everyday we meet new patients or speak to people who are absolutely terrified of the dentist.
These fears usually develop following a past bad experience at the dentist. Some people are so petrified of having dental treatment that avoid going to the dentists for decades.
Here at the Dental Suite, we have experience in treating anxious patients and have been doing so for over 20 years. Because we are so experienced, we getting patients from all over the country, from Loughborough, Leicester, Plymouth, Scotland.
The various techniques we use are:
- behaviour modification
-oral sedation
-IV sedation
We believe we can succesfully help some anxious patients beat their fears by treating them in a calm relaxing environment. Our team are very friendly and approachable and manage to make all our patients feel at ease.
Oral sedation and IV sedation are also great techniques to help nervous patients get through dental treatment. Sedation will make you more relaxed when being treated and you will not remember much about the treatment either.
Many of our patients who used to be petrified of the dentists have told us that they have managed to beat their fears since coming to the Dental Suite
