Cosmetic dentistry changes the appearance of teeth that are already healthy. It is elective: we settle any decay or gum problems first, then discuss whether cosmetic work is worth doing at all. Options include veneers, whitening, tooth-coloured fillings, gap closure and metal-free crowns.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry changes how healthy teeth look. It is elective treatment — you choose it, you do not need it.
We treat health problems first. If you have decay, gum disease or a bite problem, that is dealt with before any cosmetic work is discussed. Cosmetic treatment placed over an unhealthy mouth does not last.
What It Covers
- Ceramic veneers — thin shells bonded to the front of a tooth to change shade or shape.
- Teeth whitening — professional bleaching, in the clinic or with custom take-home trays.
- Tooth-coloured fillings — composite matched to your natural shade.
- Gap closure — bonding, veneers or orthodontics, depending on the size of the gap.
- Metal-free crowns — all-ceramic caps for teeth that need both strength and appearance.
How We Approach It
We start with an examination, not a sales pitch. You will be told plainly what is possible, what the charges are, and what it will involve.
Some cosmetic work is irreversible. Veneers and crowns need enamel removed, so we will explain what cannot be undone before you decide. Where a simpler option will do — whitening instead of veneers, orthodontics instead of crowns — we will say so.
Is It Right for You?
Cosmetic treatment suits people whose teeth are healthy but who are unhappy with the shade, shape or spacing. It is not a substitute for treating decay, gum disease or a failing bite.
If you are considering it, book an examination. You will get an honest opinion, a written plan and the charges, with no obligation to proceed.
