Our Cosmetic Treatments
Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile by several shades with our safe, professional whitening treatment, leaving you with a fresh, luminous smile and a boost of confidence.
Veneers
Our bespoke porcelain or composite veneers are handcrafted to improve tooth shape, size, alignment and colour. Ideal if you have uneven teeth, gaps, discoloration or chips, veneers offer a long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement.
Smile Makeovers
AIf you are aiming for a comprehensive transformation, our smile makeover plans combine multiple cosmetic treatments (whitening, veneers, bonding, and occasionally orthodontics) to create a balanced, radiant smile that reflects your personality.
Cosmetic Bonding
A gentle procedure that can repair minor chips, close small gaps or reshape slightly irregular teeth, often in a single visit. A good choice if you want fast improvements without more invasive treatment.

FAQs
1
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results vary depending on lifestyle and diet (e.g. tea, coffee, smoking), but with proper care and occasional top-ups, whitening results can last from 12 months to a few years.
2
Veneers are a long-lasting solution, but they are not strictly “permanent.” With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, veneers can last many years. Over time, they may need replacement. We will discuss maintenance during your consultation.
Are veneers permanent?
3
Does cosmetic bonding damage my teeth?
No, cosmetic bonding is minimally invasive. It preserves most of your natural tooth structure and can be an excellent way to improve appearance without needing more extensive treatment.
4
Will my cosmetic treatment look natural?
Absolutely. We aim for results that enhance your smile while preserving natural appearance. Our dentist will consider your facial structure, tooth size, shape and colour to create your bespoke outcome.
5
Is there much pain or downtime from cosmetic dentistry?
Most cosmetic treatments are comfortable and have little to no downtime. We take care to make the process as gentle and pleasant as possible. After whitening or bonding, you can usually resume normal activities immediately.
