The New Year is almost here, and we’re all making resolutions with the future in mind. Whether it’s to lose weight, live a healthier lifestyle or finally pursue that perfect smile, everyone has something they want to change for the upcoming year.

However, while it’s cliche that new year’s resolutions often fail to stick – we give up on exercise, slip into old habits or decide to take a break from the diet – great teeth are harder to lose. This year, choose the smile you’ve always dreamt of with Hyslop Dental Clinic and we will make it happen, giving you the confidence to smile, laugh and enjoy yourself all year.

We have a range of cosmetic dentistry options to suit any patient, and can tailor our services to match work needed, making sure every patient gets an experience unique to them!

These cosmetic options include crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants and dentures, allowing us to cater to a wide variety of customers’ needs, from the simple and small-scale to much more dramatic changes. These procedures are all carried out by our expert cosmetic dentists, and can be performed under general anaesthetic if the customer would prefer, making them even smoother and easing the nerves of more uncomfortable customers.

With the New Year almost here, it’s time to seize the initiative, do what you’ve always wanted to do and become who you’ve always wanted to be. If you’ve always wanted a smile to be proud of, why wait any longer? Take the fresh start of the new year to do something great – and give us a call to talk about arranging a consultation. Our team will be happy to take your call, and can give you expert advice right from the get-go to help you make the best possible choices.

Whether you need a single crown on a tooth, a natural-coloured filling or a full set of dental implants, we can provide exactly what you need. Our staff are experts in their fields, and can talk you through every step of the process. You’ll be kept informed at every stage of the process, and treated in our world-class facility in Southport.

So with the New Year coming, commit to a new you – a you with the confidence to smile, laugh and be happy.

Whether you feel self-conscious because you have yellowed teeth or you just want to look your best, teeth whitening is a quick and effective way to brighten your smile and gain increased confidence in your appearance. More and more people are trying to save money by trying to bleach their teeth at home. But is this practice completely safe? While there are a number of over-the-counter methods available, you should consider consulting with an experienced dental professional here at Hyslop Dental if you are considering whitening your teeth.

The General Dental Council, the organisation that regulates dental professionals in the UK, has decided that teeth whitening is a form of dentistry. This means that you should only have your teeth whitened by a dentist or another dental professional, such as a dental hygienist or dental therapist, on the prescription of a dentist.

The GDC, which regulates dentists and dental care professionals in the UK and the Isle of Man, states within the ‘Standards for the Dental Team’ that only dentists, dental hygienists and dental therapists (working to the prescription of a dentist) can carry out tooth whitening. All those working in the UK and the Isle of Man as a dentist or dental care professional must be registered with the GDC.

Minister for Health, David Anderson MHK said: “The Department of Health will be writing to all beauty salons on the Island, informing them about these important High Court rulings and the guidance from the General Dental Council. We would not want beauty or dental professionals to be in any doubt of how this situation is viewed legally or be at risk of prosecution.
