Cosmetic dentistry
is concerned with the appearance of teeth and the enhancement of a person's
smile. From subtle changes to major repairs, our team can perform a variety of
procedures to improve your smile. During the consultation, you will be asked to describe your wishes prior to a thorough examination. Complex cases would also require impressions to allow the dentist to prepare a wax up (mock up) of the proposed treatment outcome and to allow you to see the planned result before the treatment starts. Software programmes such as Smile Design are also occasionally used to help visualise the result.
There are many techniques and options to
treat teeth that are discoloured, chipped or missing. We can reshape your
teeth, close spaces, restore worn or short teeth or alter the length of your
teeth. Missing teeth may be replaced with implants or adhesive bridges (rarely conventional bridges as they are quite damaging). Other common cosmetic procedures include bleaching, veneers and
orthodontics.
