Cosmetic Dentistry

All restorative dentistry should have a cosmetic aspect, and

there are many different types of cosmetic dentistry available

that enable us to achieve this for you. We want your mouth to

look good, feel good and stay healthy.

Bleaching

This can be done in the surgery in 1 - 2 visits or at home using specially made

bleaching trays. Bleaching will get rid of most stains as well as whitening the teeth. It

is simple and painless.

Composites

These are teeth coloured filling materials and provide excellent

aesthetic results in small to medium fillings. For larger cavities

porcelain inlays or onlays are best.

Veneers

Veneers comprise thin layers of porcelain (sometimes

composite) that are bonded onto the front of anterior teeth

to improve colour, size and shape of the individual tooth.

They are usually done on pairs of teeth and rely on the

underlying tooth structure to be sound.

Crowns

Crowns are used in a wide variety of situations to improve functions, comfort and aesthetics. They are made in

porcelain, porcelain bonded to gold or all gold. They can be used on teeth that are fractured, stained or simply worn.

Bridges

Bridges are a means of replacing a missing tooth or teeth. It usually depends on preparing the teeth on either side

of the space. Several types of bridges are available.

Implants

A type of artificial root is inserted into the upper or lower jaw bone to provide support for crowns, bridges or

dentures.

Adult Orthodontics

Teeth can be moved so that they look better, function correctly and also prevent food trapping and gum irritation.

Contrary to popular belief, this can be achieved at any age.
