What is the process for SureSmile in Dunstable?

Consultation

At your first consultation we will assess your teeth, gums and your bite. We will take x-rays of your mouth and scans of your teeth and discuss what you’d like to change about your teeth.

We will talk through the process for teeth straightening with SureSmile. The images taken of your teeth will be used to create your bespoke SureSmile aligners.

Create your bespoke SureSmile aligners

It will take a couple of weeks to create your SureSmile aligners. Once these are ready, we will invite you back to the dental practice in Dunstable to fit them and show you how to wear them.

Wear your SureSmile aligners

We recommend wearing your SureSmile aligners for at least 20 – 22 hours a day. Your dentist will show you how to remove your aligners so that you can clean them.

You wear your SureSmile aligners every day for the allocated time – usually one week before moving on to the next set of aligners in the series. You continue in this way until you have reached the final set of aligners in the series, and you can show off your stunning new smile.

You will also receive a SureSmile VPro which you should use daily for five minutes. This small device is inserted into your mouth and delivers gentle vibrations which help to ensure that your aligners are fitting snugly against your teeth.

I always know that 8 will receive a professional and warm welcome from the staff. Dr Tanna is amazing and never fails to deliver outstanding treatment. Having an extraction that I didn't even feel when she had extracted the tooth was wonderful. She really is an excellent dentist.

Dr Shah is so professional kind and has looked after my family for over 16 years . We have all had the best care . Highly recommend.
Cackle T.
As usual, polite, caring and great service, thank you! I've been going here for years now, they're honest, lovely receptionists, my dentist and the hygienist too. When I asked for a treatment he didn't think I needed, after a private dentist tried to persuade me to have it, he assured me that I really didn't, when he could've taken nearly £4000 from me. Good dentists are worth their weight in gold! Many thanks again! Jean

Everyone is friendly and professional. My Dentist Danyel is one of the best dentists i have ever had.
Bethany B.
I went in for my child as she had a previous filling come out, the dr did a very quick job of fixing the problem, and my child is no longer in pain, so were very grateful. They’re always nice and friendly and do apologise if you’ve waited a little longer to be seen. And as always a sticker is great, the children love it
