Cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic treatment is elective. A consultation covers what each option involves, how long it lasts, what it costs, and whether it can be reversed.
What happens
A consultation
We look at the teeth in question, discuss what you'd like to change, and tell you whether it's achievable and what it would involve.
Health first
Cosmetic treatment isn't started over untreated decay or active gum disease. If we find either, that's treated first.
Written options and costs
You get the alternatives in writing, including the option of doing nothing, with the cost and the expected lifespan of each.
What this covers
- Take-home and in-chair whitening
- Composite bonding
- Porcelain veneers
- Crowns
- Replacement of discoloured or worn older restorations
Before you book
- Results vary between people, and we can't promise a particular shade or appearance.
- Veneers and crowns involve permanently altering the tooth underneath. We explain how much before you decide.
- Whitening doesn't change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings.
