To provide and promote excellence in dental care and health.
Veneers and Smile design
With the improvement in materials and bonding techniques, dentists are able to bond veneers, a very thin porcelain laminate, to the front of the teeth to enhance it. Your smile can be completely rebuilt or changed in shape, contour and shade. The improvement a smile makeover makes can be a life transforming experience giving a real confidence boost, and many of our patients report that they find themselves smiling wider and more often. Just by giving your teeth the correct proportions and contour, your lips and cheeks will be correctly supported, giving fullness to the lips and reduced facial lines and wrinkles that combined with a lighter, brighter colour results in a more youthful appearance without cosmetic surgery!
Creating your perfect smile
1) Cosmetic evaluation
At this visit we aim to get you to share with us your thoughts about your smile, its appearance, tooth colour, shape, alignment and arrangement. We will then discuss with you the options available to create the result you desire. We will also take photographs of your existing smile together with measurements and moulds of the teeth and bite.
2) Smile Template review
At this appointment we will review the photos taken at the first visit and show you a simulation of how your new smile could appear on models of your teeth, enhanced and hand sculpted with wax by our master technician to our prescription. If you are satisfied with this smile prototype, your veneers will be made to this template, if slight changes are required these can recorded and incorporated in the final design.
3) Start of Treatment
The teeth are prepared with extreme precision, skill and care using specially designed dental magnification loupes that let the dentist work at 2.5 times magnification of the teeth to achieve greater accuracy. Composite resin prototype temporary veneers are placed on the teeth using the wax model as a template, this allows the new smile to be previewed and tried out. At this point, we are still able to make any adjustments. Only when you are happy, will the permanent smile will be made to copy this.
4) Placement
Two weeks later the veneers are tried in and if you are completely satisfied the veneers are fitted and finished to reveal your dazzling new smile.
5) New Smile review
At this appointment we never fail to be surprised by the transformation in many patients. A more confident, broad smiling, youthful looking person returns to us for final polishing (if required, often it isn’t!) and final photographs.
