Cosmetic Dentistry

Everyone deserves a beautiful healthy smile which can have a dramatic impact on not only the way you look, but also your personal confidence.

Cosmetic dentistry describes treatment aimed at achieving a straight, white and attractive smile.

Cosmetic dentistry includes procedures such as:

Veneers are thin aesthetic covers placed over the front of teeth similar to fake fingernails to improve the appearance of the smile. Veneers can completely change and reshape your smile.

They may be indicated with:

  • crooked teeth
  • misshapen teeth
  • chipped/broken teeth
  • unwanted spaces
  • severely discoloured or stained teeth

Veneers can be made from resin composite (plastic) or porcelain. The porcelain type is the most common form of veneer as it provides the best cosmetic result and is stronger and more durable. These veneers are custom made in a dental laboratory by a dental technician to match the shape and colour required. At a subsequent visit, the veneers are tried in and then bonded to the tooth surface.
