Cosmetic Dentist - Stonehouse Gloucestershire
We believe your smile and dental health are of paramount importance. By providing minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry we are able to achieve the best cosmetic results, but minimise the amount of tooth cutting.
This helps you keep your teeth and smile forever, and also reduces the cost of your dental care. Using various techniques ranging from simple tooth coloured fillings, composite bonding or polishing stained teeth, through to porcelain veneers, the latest non-metal bonded crowns, implants and tooth whitening, we can improve the appearance of your smile and restore your confidence. Please ask any team member for more details.
Taking the condition of your existing teeth into account, various techniques are available for tooth whitening, depending on whether you want to whiten just one dark tooth or all of your teeth. In surgery speed whitening is available if required. We will be happy to discuss your individual requirements to improve the appearance of your smile.
This is a very popular treatment, particularly if you have a special occasion planned; maybe a wedding or a well-deserved holiday. Home or in-surgery whitening, using conventional or speed-whitening techniques, are available at very reasonable costs.
Often excellent improvement in the appearance of your smile can be achieved simply by polishing old fillings, smoothing rough edges, stain removal, replacing old fillings or improving the appearance of your gums, usually at minimal cost.
We will always discuss with you the various options to restore your teeth. We can usually offer to place tooth coloured fillings rather than silver amalgam ones, be this either due to dental disease or the desire to replace unsighhtly fillings with tooth coloured ones.
Usually with the minimum of preparation thin veneers of custom made porcelain can be seamlessly glued to teeth to improve the appearance of chipped, discoloured or misplaced teeth.
Tooth shade selection will be thoroughly discussed with you and our dental laboratory technician, if required, to achieve the optimal cosmetic result.
We offer a full range of braces to gently straighten teeth without the need to pick up the drill!
Please see our orthodontic section for more details.
There is a trend these days for piercings of the tongue and lips. We do not recommend this as it has been known for the studs from these piercings to cause teeth to chip or fracture. The piercings also may become infected.
If, however, you feel a need for some ornamentation of your mouth we are able to bond/”glue” (not pierce!) a small gem/jewel/crystal onto your chosen tooth or teeth. This procedure is carried out by a qualified dentist to ensure the tooth surface isn’t harmed in any respect and only certified quality materials are used. The cost of this is approximately the same as a small filling depending on the jewel chosen. A tooth gem can be safely removed by a dentist, ensuring no harm to the tooth.
