Teeth Whitening
If you are self-conscious about the shade of your teeth or if you have staining on some of your teeth, professional teeth whitening treatment is a safe and recommended option for you to consider.
Here is how home teeth whitening works:
-
You will be assessed for the type of staining your teeth have.
-
A custom tray is made to fit snugly over your teeth.
-
The teeth whitening process is activated by a bleaching agent, which is inserted into the custom tray that transfers it onto your teeth.
Home teeth whitening kits can also be worn overnight. With all whitening treatment, individual results will vary and are dependant on your initial tooth colour and the nature of your tooth staining.

-

Porcelain Veneers
​
Are your teeth, chipped, or not aligned on top of each other? Veneers are a good treatment option to consider because they look like natural teeth and don't require a major procedure. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps when braces are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
Here is how they work:
-
A veneer is a very thin, tooth-coloured piece of porcelain (like a false fingernail, but more durable) that is bonded on top of your own tooth.
-
Based on your needs, the shape and size of the veneers can be adjusted to make your teeth overall look longer and or closer together.
-
You can have just one veneer fitted or a whole set, known as a smile makeover.
Life Benefits:
-
Simple and quick solution to improve the cosmetic appearance of teeth.
-
Long-lasting smile enhancement.
-
Natural-looking restoration.
-
Achieve Hollywood-like results
White Fillings
​
If you require a filling in your tooth, a cosmetic option would be to choose a white filling material that matches the shade of your surrounding natural teeth. You can also have any existing metallic fillings replaced with tooth-coloured or 'white' fillings. This will allow you to smile without a metallic glint in sight, giving your teeth a more natural appearance overall.
Here is how white fillings work:
​
-
This is a safe procedure that entails the removal of any decay from your tooth and taking out the metal or amalgam fillings if you are having them replaced.
-
The new filling is made from a very hard tooth-coloured substance and will withstand the forces in your mouth when you bite and chew over a long period of time.
-
The restoration is completed in one visit and your fillings will not be visible when you smile.
​
Life Benefits:
​
-
Natural-looking restoration.
​
-
Improved cosmetic appearance of filled teeth while still being able to bite and chew as usual.
​
-
Hard-wearing restorative solution.

Invisible Braces
There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear the traditional unsightly metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth.
​
This is often a favourable option for adults who have professional careers and don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases.
Here is an overview of how they work:
​
-
They straighten teeth discreetly, and some can even be removed periodically, making them easier to fit around your hectic lifestyle.
-
They straighten teeth much more quickly than traditional braces, starting from as little as six months.
-
They are more comfortable than traditional braces because they use less force and modern wire technology.
​
Life Benefits:
​
-
Straighter teeth are healthier teeth.
​
-
Having an attractive smile will have a positive effect on your confidence.
​
-
Invisible braces are a long-term investment in your oral health.

4 Step To Your New Smile
Step 1​
​We will take you through the Case Assessment, which is a simple set of photos to determine whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment.
​
Step 2​
​If treatment is right for you, we’ll take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. Then we’ll create you a digital treatment plan, using our state of the art technology, showing you what your results could look like via a 3D video.
​
Step 3​
​We’ll give you a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks (as directed by your Dentist). You can comfortably wear your aligners for 22 hours a day (the recommended daily wear). And because they’re removable, it’s easy to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your usual diet.
Step 4​
We’ll invite you back to the practice around every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and hand over your new aligners. At the end of your treatment, you will need to wear your retainers to maintain your new smile.
