What It May Involve
Teeth naturally darken over time due to ageing, diet, and lifestyle habits such as smoking. Professional whitening can help safely lighten teeth by several shades, giving a fresher, brighter appearance. This may be carried out in practice or through dentist-prescribed home whitening systems.
Veneers are thin, hand-crafted porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of teeth. They can be used to improve shape, size, colour and symmetry, and are ideal for concerns such as worn edges, small gaps or discolouration. When cared for correctly, veneers offer long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair chips, reshape teeth or close small gaps. It is a minimally invasive option that can often be completed in one appointment. Bonding is especially popular for patients seeking quick, subtle enhancements without altering much tooth structure.
Modern orthodontic systems—such as clear aligners—allow teeth to be straightened discreetly and comfortably. They are suitable for adults and teenagers wishing to improve alignment without fixed metal braces. Straightening teeth can improve both aesthetics and long-term oral health.
For those with an uneven or “gummy” smile, gum contouring can gently reshape the gum line to reveal more tooth surface and enhance symmetry. This can help create a more balanced smile that complements your teeth and facial features.
When several areas of the mouth require attention, a full mouth reconstruction may be recommended. This combines cosmetic and restorative procedures such as crowns, implants, veneers and orthodontics. Each plan is completely bespoke and designed to restore comfort, function and appearance.
