Teeth whitening is a simple, safe and effective way of lightening the colour of your teeth which can have a significant improvement on the appearance of your smile.

Only registered dental professionals can legally carry out teeth whitening. This is the case whichever brand or treatment is offered. It means that you can ensure the procedure will be a safe and effective way of reviving your smile so it appears brighter, healthier and more youthful.

There is no damaged caused to your teeth by using professional teeth whitening as long as you use the gels provided by your dentist. We know that it is a safe and very predictable procedure that enables our patients to maintain the white shade of their teeth easily at home. Bespoke whitening trays are made to fit over the surfaces of your teeth. These trays are designed for home use using dentist-prescribed teeth whitening gel. Our dental team will advise you how to effectively use them. They will need to be worn overnight or for a few hours during the day, usually over a two week period. This is a very simple system to use, putting you in control of the result as you can choose how often and for how long you wish to whiten your teeth. You can then simply use top-up teeth whitening gels to whiten your teeth further or whenever you wish to whiten your teeth in the future.

Veneers are usually used as part of a cosmetic smile makeover. Veneers are often used on front teeth which are chipped or where there are small gaps. They can dramatically transform the look of your teeth giving you a more attractive smile and increased smile confidence.

A dental veneer is a simple and durable way to transform the look of a tooth that is broken, damaged or that you simply don’t like the look of. A dental veneer is a thin layer of porcelain or composite material which is attached to the front surface of a tooth. They are most often used on the visible front upper and lower teeth.

Composite Bonding allows your cosmetic dentist to improve the shape, colour, size and alignment of your teeth. Your perfect smile can be designed digitally using an intra-oral scan and will be discussed in detail with you before treatment commences. A model of the agreed final result can then be used to manufacture a stent allowing us to recreate your ideal smile.

Our highly skilled cosmetic dentists are able to make these restorations look beautiful and natural. Tooth-coloured composite filling material is bonded directly to the tooth to improve the size, shape and appearance. Sometimes these are referred to as ‘composite veneers’. Composite can be used to repair fractures, close gaps, increase the length or size of worn teeth or improve discolouration. This minimally invasive procedure can usually be completed in one visit and often does not require the removal of any tooth structure.
