A veneer is a new front surface for a tooth, custom made from porcelain. Veneers are extremely versatile and can be used to align crowded or protruding teeth, close gaps or lighten tooth colour. Their strength and appearance rivals that of natural teeth and they are used to make long lasting changes to the smile.

Crowns are used to restore severely broken down teeth. Most crowns are made of porcelain, like veneers, and look every bit as natural, leaving no black line at the gum level as seen with some traditional crowns.

Healthy teeth that have yellowed with age or stained from coffee, red wine or smoking usually respond well to whitening. Whether you choose Britesmile, the No1 US in-chair whitening system, or a more economical home whitening kit, the effect is equally good. Top-up gel is supplied to maintain the result.

For those clients with low or uneven gum levels, a laser gum reshaping treatment can be performed to correct this. If a client has a gummy smile a painless gum lift can be offered.

Missing teeth can be replaced with bridgework. Great results can be achieved by combining the latest advanced materials and gum management techniques to make replacement teeth appear to emerge from the gum like a natural tooth.

There are a number of tooth coloured amalgam-free filling materials available. The most suitable options for your teeth are discussed and recommended during your first appointment.

This is a quick and simple way to reshape and tidy your smile. Cosmetic contouring works well to smooth minor chips, reshape pointy teeth or redefine teeth that have worn flat.

Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material is applied to a tooth's surface. It can be used to restore minor chips and close small gaps, often completed in one appointment.
