Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dental science that deals with the appearance of a patient's teeth and oral cavity as opposed to the prevention and treatment of disease or major dental reconstruction. Cosmetic dentistry concerns itself with that which is physically and visually pleasing to the patient.
Teeth are an important aspect of your personality. They play a major role in speech, digestion and enjoying food. It is essential to care for your teeth. Modern cosmetic dentistry with high-class equipment allows a visit to the cosmetic dentist to be a less daunting and painless experience. Plain dentistry has evolved into a new role - cosmetic dentistry. The teeth can be so re-modelled and repaired that they bring happiness into the lives of people who were discontented with their looks. One need not lose self-esteem and self-confidence due to unattractive teeth. Cosmetic dentistry corrects the defects, gives you a dental facelift and boosts your confidence. It can change your appearance, making you look better and feel happier.
"Over 85% of adults say that an unattractive smile makes someone less appealing to the opposite sex" - American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
Our techniques are comprehensive and include tooth whitening, lumineers, veneers, crowns, white fillings, implants and braces.
Treatments include:
Tooth Coloured (white) fillings –
These can be used to replace dark, discoloured unsightly old fillings.
Crowns –
These are full covers for teeth that enable us to change the shape and colour of your existing teeth.
Veneers –
These are partial covers predominantly for front teeth that can also change the shape and colour of existing teeth; they also require only
one third the preparation of a conventional crown.
Lumineers –
These are veneers that are super-thin (0.2mm) and require almost no preparation to your healthy teeth. They are a completely reversible
procedure and have a longer lifespan than conventional veneers.
