Aesthetic dentistry

Aesthetic dentistry includes different ways to change tooth shape and colour. Restorations, veneers and whitening have distinct indications and limitations. The conversation starts with your teeth, gums, bite and expectations. Planning aims to agree on changes appropriate to your situation while keeping function in focus.

These pages explain different areas of dental care. The availability of a particular treatment and any involvement of specialist colleagues are discussed at consultation.

FAQ

There is no wrong question

Are veneers always needed?

No. A different approach may be suitable. The choice depends on tooth condition, your bite and the changes you want.

Can I preview a proposed smile?

A mock-up may help in suitable cases. It is a planning tool, not a guarantee of an exact result; technology availability needs to be confirmed.
