Did you know that one in four of us in the UK are unhappy with our smile? With advances in modern dentistry, its no longer just a case of filling and taking out teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry', is used as a means of improving the appearance of teeth. Used to straighten, reshape, lighten and repair teeth, cosmetic dentistry should always aim to produce natural-looking results for patients. Our wide range of effective cosmetic treatments can help you with your discoloured, worn, chipped or crooked teeth.
Typically consisting of a blend of cosmetic dental treatments and other dental solutions, the goal of a Smile Makeover is to dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth.
Following the Initial Consultation and a subsequent Smile Assessment, we'll create a bespoke Treatment Plan that's tailored to your unique needs. This might involve some of the following treatment solutions:
Teeth straightening (orthodontics)
Cosmetic dental veneers
Composite bonding & white fillings
Teeth whitening
Dental crowns & bridges
Teeth whitening is the safest and most cost effective way of enhancing the appearance of your teeth. Teeth discolouration responds extremely well to whitening treatment, removing stains on teeth caused from fizzy drinks, coffee, smoking, wine and other food. The non-surgical dental treatment is pain free and will leave you with beautiful teeth that are many shades whiter!
Whitening treatment lifts off stains from the enamel and works by allowing a very small amount of bleaching gel to come in to contact with the teeth. The gel then reacts with the surface of the tooth, gently removing stains.
We offer both custom made home whitening kits as well as in Enlighten Smiles whitening treatments.
Why not treat your teeth to a whitening treatment and give your smile a renewed sparkle?
If you have discoloured, chipped or irregular shaped teeth, dental veneers can be used to re-create a lovely natural smile.
Dental veneers are wafer thin yet strong and durable porcelain laminates that are fixed to your natural teeth. Shaped to perfectly mask and disguise imperfections, dental veneers will function as a normal tooth when you eat and their durable and strong material mean you can continue to bite, chew and enjoy all your favourite foods without worrying about the consequences.
If you don’t feel confident when you smile, maybe because your teeth are discoloured, chipped or uneven, then dental veneers are your answer. They are also perfect if your teeth are just a little twisted or you’ve been looking for a solution without the need for orthodontics or braces.
By removing the smallest amount of enamel from the front of your tooth and replacing it with a thin porcelain shell, which is bonded onto your existing tooth, you are left with a strong, straight and natural-looking smile.
ICON treatment is a non-invasive approach to improve the appearance of teeth – removing white spots or a mottled appearance. It removes marks, making them a uniform colour without covering the tooth’s natural surface. What’s more, it doesn’t use any drilling or injections.
The treatment involves applying an ICON gel to the tooth to open up pores, to enable the penetration of the resin. Once this is rinsed off and dried, the ICON infiltration resin is applied – this is light-cured and blocks acid, helping to preserve the tooth from additional decay. Finally, this is removed to give you instant and amazing results.
In the past, fillings were made from either gold or a silver-coloured alloy called amalgam. Although these materials are extremely durable, the main disadvantage is that they don’t match the natural white teeth in appearance.
Also known as composite fillings, white fillings are made from tooth-coloured material that restore the appearance of a previously filled tooth, giving your teeth a more natural look.
A completely safe procedure, this can be used for new fillings or to replace any old metal fillings, giving your teeth a more natural overall appearance.
