Cosmetic Dentistry
A renewed public perception is allowing cosmetic dentistry to take its place alongside cosmetic procedures such as face lifts and nose jobs. It is becoming less acceptable to have discolured, uneven or missing teeth. Career oportunities can be increased with the right appearance and enhance confidence a perfect smile can bring to you.
Using the most modern technology in a comfortable and pleasant environment means that you can completely relax whilst having your treatment, whether it is routine or advanced cosmetic work.
VENEERS If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.

A veneer is a facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail. Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons.
Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and
because they are very thin and are held in place by a
special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little
preparation of the tooth is needed.
Porcelain
veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of
teeth.
A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give
the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained
tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones)
generally.

Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics
(braces) are not suitable.
If one tooth is slightly out of position,
a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with
the others.
WHITE FILLINGS
Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole). If the decay is not too serious, our cosmetic dentist will remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling. We can also safely replace silver (amalgam) fillings.
