Veneers

Veneers can create absolutely beautiful sets of pearly whites, so you can show off your own celebrity smile. Veneers can be used to cover stained and chipped teeth and also close gaps in the smile.

Replacing missing teeth

Losing a tooth is more common than many think and it is always beneficial to replace them. If you choose now to, the resulting gaps can contribute to oral health problems, as well as affecting the aesthetics of the smile. There are various options for replacing missing teeth, including dentures, dental implants and dental bridges.

Repairing chipped teeth

Chipped teeth can cause the smile to look less attractive but chips can be repaired very easily. Cosmetic bonding, crowns and veneers can be used to repair fractured or broken teeth.

Gum contouring

Gum contouring is an effective treatment which can be used for people who have a gummy smile. This is when a large amount of gum tissue is visible when you smile. Gum contouring involves trimming away very tiny pieces of gum tissue to increase the amount of tooth that is visible when you smile. The process may sound a bit scary but it is a very simple procedure and it can be done using lasers, which decrease pain and healing time.
