Aesthetic dentistry
Corrections to colour, shape and gum level
Irregularities in colour, shape and gum level are corrected with whitening, bonding, porcelain veneers or gum contouring. Treatment is planned with the result shown in advance.
Aesthetic dentistry addresses colour, shape and alignment together. The aim is not an artificial look but a balanced result that suits your face and your natural smile line.
Treatment begins with an examination and photographic analysis. A smile design is then prepared so you can see the outcome in advance, and work starts only once we have agreed on it together.
Depending on the case, whitening, composite bonding, porcelain veneers or gum contouring are used alone or in combination. Whatever the method, preserving healthy tooth structure comes first.
Who is it for?
- Discolouration that does not respond to whitening
- Chipped, worn or shortened front teeth
- Gaps between teeth you would like closed
How the treatment works
- 01
Digital scan
Teeth and bite are recorded with an intraoral scanner.
- 02
Smile preview
The result is mocked up digitally and agreed together before any work.
- 03
Minimal preparation
As little healthy enamel as possible is removed.
- 04
Treatment and polish
The chosen method is carried out, the bite checked and the surface polished.
After your treatment
After whitening or bonding, avoid dark drinks such as tea and coffee for the first 48 hours. If you grind at night, wearing a night guard extends the life of any restorations.
Frequently asked questions
Do veneers damage my teeth?
The amount of enamel reduction depends on the tooth and is kept to the minimum needed. In some cases none is required at all.
How many appointments does it take?
Including digital planning and a try-in, usually two to three appointments over a few weeks.
Will it look natural?
Shade and translucency are matched to your neighbouring teeth. The aim is a smile that looks natural, not a visible intervention.
