The importance of a smile can not be overstated, especially as your smile is quite often the first thing people will notice about you. Consisting of a blend of different dental treatments, a smile makeover can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. From improving the shape and position of your teeth to enhancing the colour, our combination of treatments will create the brilliant smile that you have always wanted.
Learn moreComposite bonding and composite edge bonding are two processes that use composite material to bond, reshape, rebuild, or fill damaged teeth. Bonding is a very simple cosmetic procedure, but it also has a huge amount of potential for different kinds of repairs. For smaller repairs, composite edge bonding can be used at the edges of the tooth, changing the shape but not covering the complete surface.
A tooth-coloured resin material is applied to the area required and then moulded into the correct shape to rebuild or fill damaged or misaligned teeth. The procedure can normally be completed in just one appointment.
Dental veneers are becoming an increasingly popular procedure. If you have chipped, cracked or discoloured teeth, dental veneers are the ideal treatment to hide and disguise imperfections and ensure your teeth look natural and healthy.
A veneer is a very thin layer of porcelain shaped to fit the front of teeth to cover any dental defects. They can also be used to close small gaps between teeth. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it in line with the others. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to improve a single discoloured tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally.
Veneers are strong and durable enough to ensure that you can continue to enjoy all your favourite foods without worrying about the consequences. If well looked after, veneers can last between 10 and 15 years.
A dental crown is an artificial tooth that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, in order to restore damaged or weak teeth or a very large filling. Sometimes referred to as a cap, a dental crown can also be used to replace old discoloured fillings or to hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.

The Invisalign aligner system straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner approximately every week, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.
By using Invisalign clear aligners, achieving the smile you always dreamed of doesn’t have to be a big deal. The traditional route to correcting issues such as crooked teeth, gaps and crowded mouths has long been visible braces. However, the Invisalign system uses no brackets or wires - is it clear, removable and comfortable, so it won’t interfere with your appearance or your life.
We know that a straight smile often means a healthy smile. Not only will Invisalign clear dental aligners for adults straighten your teeth, they will also improve your overall dental health at the same time!
Teeth whitening is one of the most effective and quickest ways to enhance your smile. Tooth discolouration can result from various factors including coffee, wine and smoking. Our non-surgical dental treatment is pain free and will leave you with beautiful teeth that are many shades whiter, whilst keeping them looking natural. Tooth whitening can be performed by a dentist or we can offer bespoke home whitening kits.

Until recently, most fillings were made from either gold or a silver coloured alloy called amalgam. However, in recent years white fillings have become increasingly popular as they are made from tooth coloured material, giving your teeth a more natural look. As well as using this for a new filling, many people are now having their old metal fillings replaced with white fillings. This is a safe procedure in which the metal filling is removed and a tooth coloured filling is placed instead.
We believe prevention is better than cure and will always encourage and guide you in looking after your teeth to prevent decay in the first place. If however, you do require a filling then we like to recommend tooth-coloured fillings as a solution that is both aesthetic and functional.
