The Art Of The 'Untouched' Mouth

It seems patients have ever-higher expectations of the appearance they can achieve if they throw enough money at it. I blame magazine tips and instant makeover shows where they are told that the trick to looking young and healthy is to put on clever make-up, painstakingly style their hair and choose carefully tailored clothes. The aim seems to be that at the end of an hour, they can leave the house looking as though they just ‘threw’ something on, but end up looking a million dollars. Those who have abused their body for years expect to turn back the clock on wrinkles and saggy bulges with a pot of cream, a crimper and a stylist. Likewise, dentists are seeing more and more people who have neglected their teeth for years, expecting that they can buy a perfect, natural-looking smile.
