A Dental Non-Surgical Face Lift for Muswell Hill Patients

This treatment targets changes in your facial appearance caused by dental issues. A good candidate has teeth that have become shorter from grinding or wear, causing the bite to close down and the lower third of the face to shorten. This can lead to thinner lips and deeper lines around the mouth. Many of our patients from Muswell Hill seek this option when the face looks tired or aged, yet they want a solution that also improves dental health. It’s ideal if you have old, failing crowns or bridges that no longer support your facial structure. For example, a patient from nearby East Finchley had severe tooth wear from years of grinding. By rebuilding his back teeth with crowns, we restored bite height, softened the jawline, and improved lip support.

Your journey begins with a 60-minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We use a 3D CBCT scanner and digital imaging to build a full picture of your dental structure. Next, we design your new smile with CAD/CAM technology and show you a digital preview of the final result. The treatment phase involves preparing your teeth for restorations like veneers or crowns, requiring several appointments of 60 to 90 minutes each. We fit temporary restorations while the final ones are crafted. About 2 to 3 weeks later, we bond the final porcelain restorations in place. The entire process from consultation to completion typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your case. We plan every step to ensure a comfortable experience and predictable results.

Recovery is straightforward since this blends restorative treatments. After tooth preparation appointments, you may have some temporary sensitivity for a few days, which is easily managed with standard pain relief. Your gums might feel tender for 24 to 48 hours after the final restorations are fitted. A soft diet for the first day helps the dental cement cure fully. Long term care means maintaining excellent oral hygiene—brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular check ups. Porcelain restorations are durable, but avoid biting on very hard objects like ice or packaging. If you experience persistent pain or a restoration feels loose, call our practice during office hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 9-5, Tue/Thu 11-7) for guidance.

While a full dental face lift offers a complete solution, there are other options. A single treatment like composite bonding can repair minor chips and wear on a few teeth. This is quicker and less costly but won’t address underlying bite or structural issues. Orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign can correct tooth alignment and may improve your profile, but it doesn’t restore lost tooth height. Another option is to replace old fillings or crowns on an individual basis without a comprehensive plan. This may be more budget-friendly in the short term, but it misses the chance to create a harmonious, structurally sound result. During your consultation we’ll discuss all options to find the best fit for your goals and dental health.

To choose what’s right for you, ask detailed questions whether you seek care with us or another practice in North London. Start by asking what specific procedures would be involved in your case. Request to see before and after photos of similar cases they have treated. Inquire about the materials used for crowns and veneers and their expected lifespan. Also request a detailed breakdown of total cost and what it includes. Finally, ask about experience with complex cosmetic and restorative cases to ensure you’re in capable hands.

The cost of a non surgical dental face lift is bespoke, depending on the number of teeth that require restoration and the mix of treatments. A full treatment plan can range from several thousand to over ten thousand pounds. After your initial consultation and 3D scan, we provide a detailed, transparent quote with no hidden fees. This quote covers all aspects of your treatment, from design to final fitting and follow-up. While we are a private practice, plans from major insurers like Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna are accepted. We recommend contacting your provider to understand the extent of coverage for major restorative work.
