Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer a range of treatments to help you feel more confident in your smile.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them lighter. Teeth whitening can’t make your teeth brilliant white, but it can lighten the existing colour by several shades.
White Fillings
Old amalgam fillings (silver) can now be replaced with mercury-free white fillings, made from a composite of many colour shades used to match the colour of the natural tooth.
Veneers
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. A natural colour ‘composite’ material is used instead of porcelain.
Zirconia Crowns
Crowns are also known as ‘caps’. Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling.
The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth. The new zirconia crowns are made from zirconia (a white metal) bonded by porcelain which makes it look very natural and doesn’t show a black shadow or margin underneath, as would be seen in a conventional crown.
Invisalign
We cater for orthodontic requirements using the Invisalign system which is aesthetically much nicer than the conventional steel wires. It’s also less damaging to the teeth and takes a shorter period of time.
Invisalign aligners are a succession of clear plastic retainers, fitted in the upper and/or lower jaws to be worn continuously for 2-3 months. The retainers apply continuous gentle pressure on the teeth to be aligned. After the treatment has finished, a retainer will be fitted to keep the teeth in position and prevent them from relapsing.
Invisalign aligners can be used in conjunction with implant treatment if we need to increase or decrease the space between teeth in order to be able to fit the implant.
