Cosmetic dentistry

Advances in modern dentistry allow us to subtly shape and re-contour teeth, lengthen or shorten them, smooth away chips and cracks or brighten them with tooth whitening. Our cosmetic treatments, which include mercury-free, tooth-coloured fillings, veneers and invisible braces, allow patients to enjoy a more even, attractive and whiter smile.

Unsightly metal fillings can be replaced with mercury-free, tooth-coloured fillings that are invisible, allowing you to smile and laugh with greater confidence.

Tooth whitening can brighten stained teeth, discoloured by tea, coffee, red wine or smoking, to give you a more dazzling smile and increase self-confidence. Your dentist will make mouthguards to fit your teeth precisely and provide tubes of whitening gel which is applied to the mouth guard. The mouth guards are then worn for a few hours each day until the desired shade has been reached.

Shaping and re-contouring teeth gives patients a more even and attractive smile. Teeth can be lengthened or shortened, chips smoothed away and cracks in the tooth repaired. The procedure is usually very quick and great results can often be achieved in a single visit.

Veneers provide a wafer thin mask of porcelain to hide discolouration and can be used to close unsightly gaps with minimal work. A porcelain veneer is the technical term for what is really a ‘false nail’ for a tooth. Veneers can eliminate twists and turns in the tooth, close gaps, and when used on groups of teeth, dramatically re-model your entire smile.

Invisible braces are ideal for adults and teens who would like to straighten their teeth, without anyone knowing they are wearing a brace. Invisible braces can be easily removed for cleaning or eating.
