Today is the summer solstice; the longest day of the year. It is also the hottest day on record since 1976. Phew! Aside from that, we would like to discuss a very cool treatment- cosmetic bonding. Never heard of it? Well, let us explain in 5 simple ways:
 

1. Cosmetic bonding can correct mis shaped, uneven, spaced teeth in ONE visit
2. The treatment requires NO drilling of your teeth
3. There is NO need for any needles
4. It is reversible
5. It is affordable

Cosmetic bonding involves very careful layered placement of highly aesthetic composite white filling material which is then contoured and polished meticulously. It is easier to see with your own eyes:
 

One of our favourite treatments is cosmetic bonding. We can create stunning smiles in just one appointment, without drilling your teeth, without needles and without any pain. What's more, the treatment is far more affordable than porcelain veneers for example. What is involved? Cosmetic bonding can be explained in 5 simple steps:
 

1. Full clinical examination (of course!!)
2. Photographs and possibly a diagnostic wax up of the proposed new shape of your teeth
3. Mock up to visualise the end result
4. Cosmetic bonding completed using the latest high tech composite white fillings
5. Monitoring and maintenance

For the best result, we advise tooth whitening prior to cosmetic bonding. The gold standard is Philips ZOOM LED in surgery whitening followed by a period of home whitening.

We strongly believe in creating beautiful smiles naturally. MI dentistry is the key phrase- minimally invasive. In the past, cosmetic dentistry involved cutting teeth down for porcelain veneers. Even though they look beautiful, there is a down side. Eventually, they will need replacing and this will mean even more tooth loss. Why risk it? We have the ultimate solution; the Progressive Dentistry Smile using ABC A is for alignment B is for bleaching C is for cosmetic bonding Just take a look at a recent case:
 

It is a new year and what better way to start the year than to improve your smile. After all, a smile says a thousand words and oozes confidence and self belief.

Our case of the month is a fabulous one involving cosmetic bonding. What is cosmetic bonding? Well in simple terms, it is the enhancement of teeth using the most modern and aesthetic composite filling material. The major advantages are that there is NO drilling and NO needles required. There is NO pain and the treatment is affordable.

Why wait? Exactly!

Our case of the month for July is a lovely treatment involving one of our favourite treatments- ABC. A is for alignment B is for bleaching C is for composite bonding In many cases ABC can correct and transform a smile in a few months, with no drilling, no needles, no pain and at MUCH less cost than conventional treatments. Our case is a simple case correcting minor crowding and achieving symmetry with cosmetic bonding:
 

You may not have heard of cosmetic bonding. What is it? In simple terms, it involves enhancing teeth with adhesive dentistry using high tech white filling material. The major benefit of the treatment is that it is minimally invasive. There is no drilling of the underlying tooth, no need for needles, no pain and it is far more affordable than porcelain veneers.

Is the time for porcelain veneers over? Not really. Porcelain is still the most highly aesthetic material available and it is extremely durable. If you would like the Hollywood makeover, this is still the option of choice (after teeth straightening!)

Here is an example of cosmetic bonding and the difference it can make:
 

Our case of the month for June involves a smile transformation in less than 6 months. We were given a strict time frame due to an important event and we love a challenge!

We believe strongly in minimally invasive dentistry. Wherever possible we will use techniques that are kind to teeth and gums, involve no drilling of healthy tooth tissue and involve no pain. Our case is a smile transformation which follows these steps. The end result is simply stunning. Please take a look at the before and after photographs:
