PORCELAIN VENEERS
Veneers are made of a thin layer of natural shade porcelain. They are bonded to front teeth and help to improve the discoloration and shape of teeth, as well as close small gaps between teeth. This is the ultimate treatment option in cosmetic dentistry.
LASER TEETH WHITENING & HOME BLEACHING
Using special gels your teeth can be safely whitened in under an hour to give you a brighter and more attractive smile. The use of a custom made tray at home will enhance the whitening effect.
HIGH QUALITY AESTHETIC RESTORATIONS
Using the finest dental materials available, we can restore decayed or broken teeth. We recommend laboratory made porcelain inlays or onlays for large back fillings. Discoloured fillings can be polished or redone to achieve a pleasing and natural colour match.
CLOSING GAPS
Any small gaps between front teeth can be cleverly disguised using white fillings, porcelain veneers or crowns. A larger gap may require denture treatment (removable) or bridges and implants (fixed).
LASER GUM CONTOURING
Our state-of-the-art dental laser machine can be used to subtly change gum contours for a more even smile.
COSMETIC RECONTOURING
Sometimes simple and minor reshaping of front teeth can make a quick and attractive improvement to your smile.
PERIODONTAL (GUM THERAPY) SESSIONS WITH A HYGIENIST
A thorough scale and polish alone can make a fantastic difference to your smile!
Please feel free to ask the dentist, hygienist or practice staff about further advice on any cosmetic related dental treatment.
Cosmetic dentistry will improve your confidence and enhance your smile, image and self-esteem!
