Festive Dental Tips from Dentistry & More Cambridge

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (for Your Smile Too!)

December has arrived and with it comes mince pies, mulled wine, and plenty of festive cheer! While we all deserve to indulge a little over Christmas, the extra sugar and celebrations can sometimes take a toll on your teeth and gums. At Dentistry & More in Cambridge, we want you to enjoy every festive moment without unwanted dental surprises. So before you tuck into that Christmas pudding, here are our top holiday smile tips to keep your teeth merry and bright all season long.

1. Be Mindful of Sugary Treats

From selection boxes to festive chocolates, December can be a sugar overload. Try to keep sweet treats to mealtimes instead of grazing throughout the day, this gives your enamel a chance to recover and reduces the risk of decay.

If you’re sipping on mulled wine or sparkling drinks, rinse your mouth with water afterward to neutralise acids (and help protect that bright Christmas smile).

2. Watch Out for Staining Drinks

Red wine, tea, coffee and cola are all classic Christmas favourites, but they can also stain your teeth. Enjoy them in moderation, and alternate with water. If you’re conscious of discolouration, consider booking a professional teeth whitening treatment in the New Year for a fresh, radiant look.

3. Don’t Let Dental Emergencies Ruin Your Holiday

Biting into a toffee or cracking a nut might seem harmless until a filling breaks or a tooth chips! Avoid using your teeth as tools (yes, even to open that tricky packaging!) and take care with very hard foods.

If something unexpected happens, don’t worry, our private dentists in Cambridge can help with urgent appointments and expert care to get you smiling again.

4. Stay on Top of Brushing and Flossing

It’s easy to forget your routine during busy holidays, but try to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. This keeps plaque at bay, especially when festive snacking is in full swing.

If you’re travelling or visiting family, pop a travel toothbrush and mini toothpaste in your bag so you can stay on track, wherever Christmas takes you.

5. Give the Gift of a Healthy Smile

Still searching for the perfect present? Why not give a loved one the gift of confidence with a Dental Hygiene Session or Teeth Whitening Voucher from Dentistry & More?

It’s a thoughtful (and practical!) gift that will last far longer than another pair of socks.

Start the New Year with a Brighter, Healthier Smile

January is the perfect time for a routine dental check-up or a professional hygiene clean, especially after the festive indulgence! Booking your next appointment now ensures you’ll start the year feeling refreshed, healthy, and confident.

Let’s make sure your smile shines as brightly as the Christmas lights this season!

Why a Private Dentist in Cambridge Might Be the Right Choice for Your Smile

When you’re searching for a dentist in the Cambridge area, you’ll often weigh the differences between NHS and private care. At Dentistry & More, we believe private dentistry offers a handful of clear benefits, especially for those looking for personalised, comprehensive smile care. Here’s a guide to what that could mean for you.

1. More Time & Tailored Care

Private dental practices generally have more flexibility in appointment scheduling and treatment planning. This means when you book with us, you don’t just get “the next available slot” but time to discuss your worries, review your goals and lay out a plan that fits you.

If your aim is a more cosmetic smile (whitening, bonding, aligners) or you simply want the extra reassurance, that tailored approach makes a big difference.

2. Access to Advanced Treatments

From clear aligner systems through to dental implants, air flow hygiene cleans and laser gum therapy, private dentistry gives you direct access to treatments that may either not be available via standard NHS provision, or may involve longer waiting times.

For example, if you’re considering a straighter smile without visible brackets, or replacing missing teeth with implants, a private clinic in Cambridge like ours can bring forward options and provide the time needed for planning, diagnostics and after care.

3. Predictable Costs & Transparency

One of the nice things about private care is that you’ll typically receive a detailed treatment plan and quote before committing. There are fewer grey zones, and you can choose your priorities.

At Dentistry & More in Cambridge, we also offer a dental membership plan (pre-paid) to help spread the cost of routine care and give you access to regular check-ups and hygiene visits. Investing in prevention makes a real difference with many of our patients saying the peace of mind alone is worth it.

4. Preventive Focus Means Fewer Unexpected Trips

Many patients think of “going to the dentist when something hurts”. But at our practice in Cambridge we encourage the reverse, regular reviews, early detection and prevention. Catching issues when they’re small means less chance of emergency treatments, less time off work, less worry. In fact, one of our recent blogposts was all about “why routine dental checkups matter”. A healthy mouth supports not just your smile but your overall well being.

5. Comfort, convenience, community

A private clinic often invests in a higher level of patient-experience, from appointment flexibility to quieter waiting areas, friendly staff and shorter turnaround times. Being based in Cambridge (Trumpington area) means you’re in a supportive, local community. We know many of our patients are Cambridge based professionals, families or people relocating to the area, so we try to make everything straightforward, comfortable and welcoming.

Is private dentistry right for you?

Ask yourself a few questions:

  • Are you after cosmetic treatments (whitening, bonding, aligners) or more advanced restorative options (implants, full mouth rehabilitations)?
  • Would you like more choice in how and when you’re seen, and more time to discuss options?
  • Do you value having a long term partner in your oral health rather than just reacting when there’s a problem?
  • Would you prefer to pay a fixed monthly membership for preventive care, rather than being surprised by costs later?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of those, it’s worth booking an initial consultation with a private practice like ours. We’ll carry out a full oral-health assessment, review potential treatment pathways, outline costs and carry out any preventive work required.

Why choose us in Cambridge?
  • Conveniently located in Trumpington, Cambridge with easy access from Cambridge city, south Cambridge suburbs and surrounding villages.
  • A modern facility offering the latest in technologies, hygiene standards and patient comfort.
  • Experienced clinicians, comfortable environment and a genuine focus on long-term oral health (not just “fixing the problem”).
  • Transparent pricing, clear membership options and a friendly team who will walk you through everything step-by-step.

How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Boost Confidence

A confident smile can make all the difference in how you feel and how others perceive you. If you’re self conscious about stained, chipped, or uneven teeth, modern cosmetic dentistry offers safe, effective ways to transform your smile and boost your self esteem.

At Dentistry and More in Cambridge, we provide a range of cosmetic treatments including dental veneers, composite bonding, professional teeth whitening and much more. Each cosmetic treatment has its own benefits, depending on your individual needs.

Let’s break them down:

Porcelain Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers are ultra thin porcelain shells that are custom made and bonded to the front of your teeth. They can dramatically improve the shape, size, and colour of your smile.

Pros:

  • Long lasting (typically 10–15 years or more)
  • Resistant to staining
  • Natural appearance
  • Addresses multiple issues at once (discolouration, gaps, chips, misalignment)

Cons:

  • Irreversible (a thin layer of enamel is removed)
  • Higher cost than some other options
  • Requires multiple visits

Best for:

Patients looking for a long term, dramatic smile transformation.

Composite Bonding

A tooth coloured resin is shaped and bonded to the tooth to repair minor chips, close gaps, or improve shape.

Pros:

  • Completed in one visit
  • Cost effective
  • Minimally invasive (little to no enamel removal)
  • Immediate results

Cons:

  • Less durable than veneers
  • Can stain over time
  • May need touch-ups or replacements after several years

Best for:

Minor cosmetic fixes or those seeking a more budget-friendly option.

Professional Teeth Whitening

A safe and effective cosmetic treatment using professional grade whitening agents to remove stains and lighten tooth colour.

Pros:

  • Fast results
  • Non invasive
  • Affordable
  • Performed under experienced supervision for safety and effectiveness

Cons:

  • Not suitable for internal discolouration or restorations
  • May cause temporary sensitivity
  • Results can fade over time (especially with coffee, tea, or red wine)

Best for:

Patients wanting a brighter, whiter smile in a short amount of time.

composite bonding sensitive teeth cambridge dentist

Can You Get Composite Bonding on Sensitive Teeth? Here’s What You Need to Know

, , ,

If you have sensitive teeth, you may be wondering whether composite bonding is a suitable cosmetic treatment for you. At Dentistry and More in Trumpington, Cambridge, we regularly help patients restore their confidence and smile comfortably, even with dental sensitivity.

The good news is: yes, composite bonding can often be done on sensitive teeth, and in some cases, it can even help reduce your sensitivity.

What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where a tooth-coloured resin is carefully applied, shaped, and polished to improve the appearance of your teeth. It’s often used to:

  • Repair chipped or worn teeth
  • Close small gaps
  • Reshape uneven teeth
  • Cover discolouration
  • Improve overall smile aesthetics

Bonding is minimally invasive, usually doesn’t require drilling, and can often be done without any anaesthetic.

Is Composite Bonding Safe for Sensitive Teeth?

Yes, in fact, composite bonding can be an excellent option for patients with tooth sensitivity, because:

  • It doesn’t usually require enamel removal, unlike veneers or crowns.
  • The bonding material acts as a barrier, protecting exposed dentine or worn enamel.
  • It can cover exposed root surfaces on receding gums, reducing sensitivity to hot or cold.

However, each case is unique, and it’s important to have your teeth assessed by a dentist to ensure bonding is the right option for your level of sensitivity.

What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Worn enamel from brushing too hard or acid erosion
  • Gum recession exposing the roots
  • Tooth grinding (bruxism)
  • Cracked or chipped teeth
  • Recent whitening or dental treatments

At Dentistry and More, we will always identify the cause of your sensitivity before beginning any cosmetic treatment. Your comfort and long-term dental health come first.

Composite Bonding: Cosmetic and Protective

In some cases, composite bonding can be used not just for aesthetics, but to seal small cracks, repair enamel wear, or protect vulnerable tooth surfaces reducing discomfort and improving function.

If you are nervous about treatment due to sensitive teeth, rest assured that our experienced team in Cambridge will take a gentle, personalised approach. We use high-quality composite materials and minimally invasive techniques to ensure comfort throughout the process.

Why Choose Dentistry and More for Composite Bonding in Cambridge?

At our Trumpington dental clinic, we combine modern technology with cosmetic expertise to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. Whether you’re looking to improve one tooth or completely transform your smile, we will guide you through every step, pain-free and stress-free.
