APPEARANCE & COSMETIC TREATMENT

Gross decay in a front tooth. One easy visit at this London dental practice for this patient to provide a tooth-coloured filling. The material is called Composite and is bonded into the tooth’s structure rather than just sitting in a dovetailed cavity so it does not drop out (like amalgam). We can match your tooth shade and make a virtually invisible repair that is instantly set and usable.

If a group of old-style fillings are replaced, then immediately the appearance brightens. Upper teeth transformed back to a natural appearance.

WORN TEETH
He had never realised that anything could be done for him and expected extractions. What a difference just one easy appointment made? He didn’t look back after that.

CROWNS, INLAYS & VENEERS

Crowns
Very weak teeth or teeth that are to have a major appearance change will have a crown. This is a protective envelope covering the old tooth and giving it a better chance of long-term survival in the 24-hour function situation of your mouth.

Two visits are usually needed and the crown is made by a skilled technician in a dental laboratory.

Inlays
These are somewhere between a large filling and a crown. For example, a back tooth needing a large repair but not so large that a crown is necessary will be a candidate for an inlay.

The inlay is produced in a laboratory between two visits, and it looks like a tooth-coloured filling that is ready to be fitted (inlaid) into a matching cavity in the tooth, and that is what happens. The tooth is restored to a natural appearance and function.

Veneers
Imagine false fingernails. Now imagine the dental version: false front facings for front teeth made of ceramic or composite materials. These are veneers. They are fixed to the front teeth to change appearance in a simple procedure. Two visits are necessary.

My front teeth are a bit crooked. Can anything be done to give me back the confidence to smile?
Yes. We can discuss whether straightening by orthodontics or maybe veneering or crowning is for you. Take a look at some photos!

SMILES WITH CROWNS

A young lady in her twenties who had been wary of smiling. We changed the teeth’ shade and alignment. Just two visits changed her life.

Pleasant smile. Afterwards, this lady wondered why she had put up with those teeth for so long. It made her look ten years younger.

Appearance transformation, provided with ease at our London dental practice.

This lady had endured unsightly spacing of upper and lower front teeth. Four appointments to tidy her smile.

An infrequent attender, he had put up with this appearance for a long time. Overcoming his reservations, he asked what could be done. This was the satisfactory result.
