read moreJust a few words to thank you and your team for their professionalism, dedication, care and enthusiasm during my recent cosmetic dental treatment at your surgery. I can now relax when I smile without the self conscious feeling that I must not show my teeth. My new found confidence and enhanced self esteem makes me smile at every opportunity. I have been complimented on my new teeth by everyone I come into contact with. I attended your surgery after my front tooth was knocked out. I was very nervous and apprehensive.

Beginning with a comprehensive smile assessment, we discuss with you how best to achieve the most beautiful, natural looking smile. Every patient is unique so we design your smile specifically to suit you and your particular features - assessing factors such as face shape, tooth colour and tooth size. A variety of highly effective techniques are then used to create your new smile.

Tooth Whitening, carried out at home using our custom-made flexible trays and gel, gently removes stains leaving your teeth cleaner and brighter, so you can look years younger when you smile. In the first place, impressions of the patient's lower and upper teeth are taken, and then these are forwarded to the laboratory technician, who in turn casts up specially made bleaching trays.

read moreMany people still have silver/mercury fillings in their mouths from years past. These fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye, and we know that by unavoidable design, silver/mercury fillings ultimately result in a weaker tooth structure. Porcelain inlays and Tooth coloured Restorations (onlays) create fillings that are not only beautiful (or unnoticeable) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are esthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.

Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. They're made by a dental technician, usually in a dental lab, working from a model provided by your dentist. You should know that this is usually an irreversible process, because it's necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.

Our dedicated Treatment-Coordinators will be delighted to take the time to get to know you personally and find out what you would really like in terms of any cosmetic treatments you are interested in. We involve you in all decisions and make sure that all treatment is clearly explained, providing written estimates and working at a pace to suit you and your lifestyle.

A crown completely covers the damaged tooth above the gum line and so protects it. The colour is matched to that of your own teeth and, as crowns are very strong, they can look and feel exactly like natural teeth. Once you have had a consultation with your dentist and discussed all the treatment options, he/she will prepare the tooth for crowning. The first stage is to clean the tooth, remove any decay and reshape it using a burr (a special dental drill for shaping teeth) under local anaesthesia.
