Dental care encompasses a variety of practices to maintain healthy teeth, gums, and mouth. It includes routine check-ups, cleanings, and preventive measures to avoid common issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.

What are some common dental treatments?

Common dental treatments include fillings for cavities, root canals for infected tooth pulp, crowns to restore damaged teeth, bridges and implants to replace missing teeth, and treatments for gum disease. The specific treatment needed depends on the individual's oral health condition.

What should I expect when visiting a dental practice?

When visiting a dental practice, you can expect a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, followed by a discussion of any dental issues and proposed treatments. Dentists use a range of treatments to address various conditions, ensuring personalized care for each patient.

What are cosmetic treatments in dentistry?

Cosmetic treatments in dentistry focus on improving the appearance of teeth and smiles. These treatments include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and orthodontic adjustments for misaligned teeth. These procedures can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your teeth.

Can you explain advanced treatments in dentistry?

Advanced treatments in dentistry involve more complex procedures aimed at solving severe or specialized dental issues. These include dental implants, laser treatments for gum disease, and orthodontic surgeries for severe misalignment of teeth. Such treatments often utilize cutting-edge technology and techniques to ensure effective results.

What causes tooth decay and how can it be prevented?

Tooth decay is caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth, which can lead to cavities. Prevention includes maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding sugary snacks can also help prevent decay.

How are misaligned teeth treated?

Misaligned teeth can be treated with orthodontic options like braces or clear aligners. These treatments gradually realign the teeth into the proper position, improving both oral function and aesthetics. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the misalignment and the patient’s preferences.

What is gum disease and how is it treated?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can progress to affect the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth. Treatment options range from deep cleaning to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the disease. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene are critical to preventing and managing gum disease.

Chemical Peels Balham - Skin Boosters Clapham

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are advanced exfoliating treatments that use carefully selected acids to remove dead skin cells, stimulate cell turnover, and improve skin tone and texture. Depending on the type and depth of the peel, they can target a range of concerns — from fine lines and pigmentation to acne and dullness.

At Balham Dental Studio, we offer a range of chemical peels that are safe, effective, and require minimal downtime.

Benefits of chemical peels

Chemical peels offer a wide range of skin-improving benefits, making them a popular choice for many different concerns. Depending on the type of peel, you can expect:

Brighter, smoother skin
Peels gently exfoliate the skin, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion.
Softened fine lines and wrinkles
By encouraging collagen production, peels help to smooth early signs of ageing.
More even tone and texture
Ideal for rough patches, enlarged pores, or uneven pigmentation.
Faded dark spots and sun damage
Regular treatments can help lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun spots for a more even look.
Clearer, less congested skin
Especially helpful for acne-prone skin, peels can reduce breakouts by unclogging pores, reducing excess oil and calming inflammation.

Our experienced practitioners will recommend the right peel for your skin type and concerns, ensuring safe, effective results.

What does the treatment involve?

A chemical peel is a straightforward, in-clinic treatment carried out by our trained practitioners. Here’s what to expect:

Consultation
We begin with a one-to-one consultation to understand your skin concerns, assess your skin type, and discuss what you’re hoping to achieve. This allows us to recommend the most suitable peel for your individual needs.
Preparation
Your skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup or oils, which ensures the peel can be applied evenly and effectively.
Application
The chosen chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin and left on for a specific amount of time. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation during this stage – this is completely normal and usually passes quickly.
Neutralisation and Aftercare
The peel is removed or neutralised, and soothing products are applied to calm the skin. We’ll also give you tailored aftercare advice to help you get the best results.

The full appointment typically takes around 30–45 minutes, and you’ll be able to return to your usual activities shortly afterwards.
