Treatments - Cosmetic

We can safely lighten dark coloured or stained teeth for a more natural, brighter smile.

Home procedure

We custom make a close fitting whitening tray and provide you with simple instructions, so you can whiten your teeth over a few nights in your own home.

We always record the shade of your teeth before the treatment and 2-3 weeks afterwards, in the follow up appointment, so you can see the improvement.

You might find your pre-existing metal-amalgam fillings unsightly. Fortunately we can safely replace them with a tooth-colour matched 'composite' white filling.

Like amalgam fillings, composite fillings can be used to:

• replace lost fillings
• repair damaged teeth
• repair decayed teeth

However, unlike amalgam fillings, white fillings chemically bond to the tooth so they:

• require less tooth preparation(drilling)
• can repair your chipped and broken teeth,
• can repair the biting surfaces of your front teeth
• cover unsightly marks within your teeth

White fillings are life-like and improve the appearance of your teeth in many ways.

We can improve the look and feel of your teeth in a variety of ways using veneers. Usually made from a thin layer of porcelain which fits over the surface of a tooth, veneers are long lasting and require little preparation

Veneers can:

• will be colour-matched to your other teeth
• improve the whitness of your discoloured teeth
• improve the look of any gaps between your teeth
• re-position your misaligned teeth
• repair yourchipped teeth

Porcelain veneers make the teeth appear natural and healthy.

Where a tooth is broken down or weakened through decay or a very large filling we would usually suggest a crown or 'cap'. We also advise crowns if your teeth are discoloured or misaligned. A crown covers the entire tooth so offers it extra protection and strength.

Our crowns are:

• metal free,
• specifically design for you using computer technology
• match your tooth colour
• look and feel like your natural teeth
• less likely to cause you an allergic reaction

Depending on the strength of the tooth underneath, your oral hygiene, and regular checks, a crown can last for many years.

Losing one of more teeth can cause misery, discomfort and difficulties. Thankfully we can easily fill any gaps with removable dentures. Using realistic looking acrylic resin dentures we can maintain the natural look of your smile.

• are custom made for you to appear as natural as possible
• help you with chewing
• stop your remaining teeth tilting
• improve your speech
• replace the lost support in your cheeks to give you a fuller face.

We can fit removable cosmetic dentures immediately after extractions so nobody need know you've had a tooth out!

If you have teeth that are angled, longer or slightly chipped it can affect the look of your smile and your confidence. Tooth re-contouring is a great solution to this.

Painless, simple, immediately effective and requiring no injections this procedure is less invasive than crown treatments.

In combination with cosmetic white fillings, tooth re-contouring can help bring back your natural smile.
