Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your natural teeth. Veneers can be used to improve the shape, colour and position of one or more of your teeth. They can be used to close spaces between your teeth, lengthen small or misshapen teeth, or whiten darkened teeth. And if your teeth are chipped or beginning to wear, veneers can protect them from damage and even restore their original looks. Veneers will not change colour over time and can provide you with a youthful, long lasting smile.

A dental crown may be needed if tooth is badly broken down, ie. If it has a large or worn out filling, or has a large amount of decay. With old technology, dental crowns are made with a metal foundation; although they are strong, they often appear dull and lifeless and it is common to have the metal showing as grey or black around the gumline. Today we are able to offer metal free crowns; made completely from ceramic, these crowns are beautiful and natural looking. New bonding technology allows us to bond the crown directly to your tooth so that they become one unit, almost like an enamel replacement. Ceramic crowns are the treatment of choice for teeth that show when you smile.

Cosmetic tooth bonding is the term used when a ‘tooth coloured’ resin is bonded to your tooth in order to change its shape or colour, or to increase its size, or to close gaps. Cosmetic bonding is probably the most conservative of all cosmetic dentistry procedures practiced today as it involves minmal alteration to the original tooth enamel. The results can be seen immediately and the procedure is also reversible as it does not usually involve removing any of the tooth enamel. It is a virtually painfree procedure and can often be performed without the use of an anaesthetic.

Over time little things can conspire to negatively affect your smile – it may be a chip, a crack, discolouration, noticeable fillings in your front teeth, small gaps between your teeth or teeth that are uneven. Fortunately cosmetic bonding can offer you a simple, long lasting and cost effective way to restore a beautiful smile.

One of the commonest complaints patients have about their teeth is having unsightly amalgam fillings, fortunately it is also one of the simplest things to change. Advances in modern dentistry mean that patients no longer need to put up with the appearance of black/silver amalgam fillings. The latest white (composite)filling materials are as strong as traditional amalgam and are designed to match the colour of your natural teeth.
