Advances in techniques now mean there are many ways to improve your smile. These various treatments are referred to as cosmetic dentistry.  These can include whitening of your teeth, replacement of silver fillings with tooth coloured restorations or crowns or veneers to alter the appearance of your teeth.  If there is any aspect of your smile you are not happy with why not arrange a cosmetic consultation and a smile makeover with one of our dentists.  We can discuss what treatments are available and show digitally enhanced simulations of what we could do for you. If after this initial visit you were interested in any treatment we would arrange a full examination, further special test such as X-rays and study models and then produce a detailed treatment plan. So if there is something about your smile you have always dreamt of changing why not come in but first take a few minutes to complete a smile evaluation from one of the two laboratories that we use for our smile make over's, ART and KnightDentalDesign, two of the countries leading cosmetic dental laboratories.

Tooth Whitening

If you are not happy with the colour of your teeth and feel they are not as bright as they used to be then you could benefit from tooth whitening by bleaching.  We can provide you with our guaranteed deep bleaching system our simple at home bleaching treatments or, in surgery power bleaching.  Click here to go to our tooth whitening page.  Should you not be suitable for bleaching or wish to alter the shape as well as the colour of your teeth,  then we may recommend veneering or crowning .

Tooth Coloured Fillings

 Silver amalgam fillings (mercury based) can in many cases be replaced with white fillings (mercury free). These tooth coloured restorations look much better and produce a more natural appearance.  The technique for placing these white fillings is similar to the usual fillings but for larger ones we may recommend that the filling is made out of porcelain in the laboratory for a stronger longer lasting restoration.

Crowns

or "caps" can be made from many materials. Cosmetic crowns are usually made completely from porcelain, or a combination of metal and porcelain.  The materials available now combine the ideal qualities of strength without compromising the appearance.  For those who want the best aesthetic results we recommend the use of Procera all porcelain crowns where possible.

Veneers

 or "laminates" are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of the teeth. They allow the colour shape and position of teeth to be altered and do not require as much tooth to be drilled away as a crown.  We can provide veneers made using specialist systems such as Empress, Procera, Lava, Authentic as well as very thin Thineers.
