Take the smile test

Do you feel awkward or self-conscious about your smile?

Do you cover your mouth or teeth when you laugh, talk or smile?

When you have your photo taken do you close your mouth?

Do you hate close up photos?

Ladies - Do you avoid wearing bright lipstick which draws attention to your mouth?

Gentlemen - Have you ever grown a beard or moustache to help hide you smile?

If you have answered yes to one or more of the above questions, then cosmetic dentistry can help to improve your smile

Tooth coloured fillings

Many people have amalgam (silver) or gold fillings. Although strong they are unsightly and furthermore amalgam tends to discolour your teeth over time.

Tooth coloured fillings are known as composite fillings, made from a putty-like resin based material that can be moulded to the exact shape of the tooth and set using a visible blue light. These are lifelike and long lasting.

White fillings are the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ideal for creating beautiful smiles in cases of small, oddly shaped, or discoloured teeth. With this procedure you will be involved directly in your own design process in reshaping, widening and brightening your smile, thus ensuring total satisfaction.

We can place temporary bonding for 2-3 weeks to protect your teeth and to create the blueprint for your new smile.

The skins of porcelain are then fused to the teeth enabling normal social and eating activities to resume immediately.

Cosmetic Contouring

Cosmetic contouring is one of the available instant treatments in cosmetic dentistry. Dental contouring can even be a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.

It is a procedure of subtle changes utilising gentle abrasives and lamination. A few millimetres of reduction or expansion can create a beautiful smile when performed by a cosmetic dentist, usually without the need for anaesthetic.

You could also consider having crowns, bridges or dentures as part of your ‘smile make-over’ (please see treatment list for more info)
