Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry can be anything from changing an unsightly metal filling to radically changing your smile. We can improve your smile by making teeth look younger (teeth whitening), Straightening crooked teeth (Orthodontics) or permanently replacing missing teeth (Implants & Bridges). Modern developments in dental materials offer patients reliable and comfortable alternatives to metal based materials.

Tooth coloured fillings

The metal smile is history. We now have tooth coloured filling materials that look like teeth. In one visit the old mercury amalgam can be replaced. If you are worried about the release of Mercury vapour, we can do this under a protective rubber barrier (rubber dam) to stop you breathing the vapour.

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns, commonly know as caps completely cover a weak tooth and protect it. Crowns are made of metal, porcelain or a combination of both. A bridge is made where there is a missing tooth. Crowns are made either side of the space, joined together by a false tooth within the space. Crowns and bridges are made by hand in the laboratory and glued in place in the mouth.

Veneers

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their colour, shape, size, or length.
