Smile design with restraint
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can change tooth colour, shape or position. We begin with healthy teeth and gums, then look for the smallest change that can create a natural result.

Plan before changing
We check the teeth, gums and bite before discussing colour or shape. Photos and a 3D scan help you see the starting point. Decay, inflamed gums or unstable dental work should usually be treated first.
Choose the lightest-touch option
Whitening changes the shade of natural teeth. Bonding adds tooth-coloured resin for small shape changes. Veneers cover the front surface; crowns cover more of the tooth and are usually reserved for teeth that need greater protection.
Keep it natural and maintainable
Natural teeth have texture, translucency and small differences. We plan around your face and smile rather than making every tooth identical. Whitening, bonding, veneers and crowns all need future care and may eventually need maintenance or replacement.
