Case Study - Instant Smile Makeover

Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years. Long gone are the days of teeth needing to be drilled to stumps for porcelain veneers or crowns to improve your smile. (In our opinion anyway!) We believe in and working with biology to produce stunning results that are natural, healthy, aesthetic and easy to maintain. An even greater advantage is that these treatments are cheaper than the conventional destructive techniques! What could be better? If you have chipped, uneven, worn, spaced or asymmetrical teeth then why think about cutting all of the healthy enamel away when there could be another option- cosmetic bonding. This is where the tooth or teeth are built up in an extremely skilled manner using the finest materials to enhance the overall appearance. In most cases, the teeth do not require any drilling at all. They are exactly the same underneath. Just take a look at our case study:

Slightly uneven teeth with a space present

Even teeth and symmetrical, created by cosmetic bonding

This treatment was completed in just 1 appointment. Impressive, wouldn't you agree. There was no drilling of the teeth at all in this case. In the future, if any maintenance is required, this is a simple process which requires no biological damages to the teeth or gums. If you would like to change your smile with or even farther afield, please contact us. You may be amazed at what we can do.

Composite veneers vs Porcelain veneers. Which is best?

One of the most topical subjects at the moment is the debate between composite and porcelain for dental restorations. In terms of cosmetic dentistry, this equates to the use of composite veneers and porcelain veneers. It is important to note that composite veneers can either be made by a laboratory or placed free hand by the dentist in the chair.
