Whitening

Transform dull into dazzling – whiten dark or discoloured teeth safely with our home whitening treatment. So many cosmetic treatments involve lengthy or unpleasant procedures but with our tooth whitening procedure you can achieve noticeable results safely, quickly and easily.

White Fillings

In the past, fillings were always made out of either gold or a silver and mercury alloy called amalgam. Both of these materials work very well and in some circumstances they are still the best choice available. But they both have one really big disadvantage - they don’t resemble natural teeth in appearance.

Our first choice would always be tooth-coloured material and that means we can create beautiful, natural-looking fillings that won’t spoil your smile. We can also discuss replacing existing amalgam fillings with white material as part of a cosmetic smile make over.

Crowns and Veneers

If a tooth is badly broken down as a result of decay or trauma it may not be possible to build it up again using a filling. In this case it may be better to restore the tooth using a crown.

A crown is an artificial tooth which is attached to the remnants of a natural one. Teeth that are severely discoloured or out of position can also be improved by crowning.

Placing a crown requires the removal of quite a lot of natural tooth tissue so whenever possible we would rather place a veneer. These are carefully bonded to the surface of a natural tooth to mask imperfections in the enamel or improve the position and appearance. Veneers often require much less preparation of the natural tooth tissue and so preserve much more of what nature gave you.
