Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a simple and effective method of lightening teeth. Everybody’s teeth darken and yellow with age. Tea, coffee and colas all speed up the process. Smoking and other staining agents also contribute to darkening of teeth. The whitening technique removes the staining agent that has penetrated deep within the tooth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen. We can advise upon the suitability of treatment based upon your tooth and gum condition. We use Enlighten Whitening which offers amazing results. Home whitening involves the use of custom made trays over a period of time at home. This technique involves taking impressions (moulds) of your teeth. These impressions are sent to a laboratory where a technician fabricates custom made trays designed to fit closely to your teeth. This customisation allows for maximum contact between the whitening gel and your teeth. This system also minimises the gel’s contact with gum tissue and reduces any gum irritation. A whitening gel is syringed into the trays and these are seated over your teeth for anything from an hour to overnight. Successful whitening can normally be achieved after two/three weeks, however, this may vary with certain types of discolouration. |

Veneers
Veneers improve the appearance of chipped, worn, irregularly shaped and heavily filled teeth. They can help you achieve the beautiful white smile you have always dreamt of. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are custom made and bonded to your teeth. They usually involve very minimal tooth reduction and are incredibly strong and durable. They have a very natural appearance. With regular examinations and good oral hygiene measures, veneers generally last around ten years or more. The process can sometimes take several visits, however in select cases, you may not require any preparation of your teeth.

Crowns
Crowns can be used to restore teeth that are heavily filled, discoloured, broken or crooked. Most crowns are made of porcelain and this enables a very close colour match to existing teeth. Crowns are aesthetically pleasing and can look and feel very natural. Crowns also protect the tooth and once restored can last for many years.
Having a crown requires some preparation of the underlying tooth. On your first appointment the tooth will be shaped ready for the porcelain crown and whilst this is being made at the dental laboratory, a temporary one will be fitted. On your second appointment the crown will be fitted and you can then enjoy the results.

Bridges
Bridges are used to fill in gaps and replace missing teeth. These are used as a very viable alternative to dentures if the surrounding teeth are strong enough to support the bridge. Bridges are attached to neighbouring teeth and just like crowns, are made from porcelain and colour matched to your existing teeth. They look very natural and make such a difference to your smile.
There are several different types of bridges and your options will be fully discussed with your dentist.
