Treatments – Cosmetic Dentistry
New and improved smiles don’t happen overnight. Cosmetic procedures to improve your smile include tooth whitening, veneers, inlays/onlays, crowns and bridges.
Teeth Whitening
Everybody loves a bright smile and with our new tooth whitening technique everybody can enjoy a new white brighter smile today. The treatment is effective and whitens teeth that have been stained by tea, coffee, colas and the ageing process itself.
Our teeth whitening system can whiten teeth by up to several shades, brightening your teeth dramatically.
After 1 hour of surgery whitening we give you your own whitening trays.
You wear them for 1 hour a day for 14 applications to complete the whitening treatment.
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.
Porcelain Restorations
Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole). The dentist will remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a porcelain restoration. We can also safely replace silver (amalgam) fillings.
