Tooth whitening is a great and easy way of improving your smile. During the initial examination Dr Olivia will go over what be required to achieve the desired results as well as take detailed recordings of your tooth start colour.  Once you have had a thorough check, custom tooth whitening trays are made for your mouth to ensure even coverage of the tooth whitening gel to your teeth. Most patients wear their trays once a day for an hour or overnight for about 2 weeks to achieve a brighter whiter smile.  

Bonding or Composite bonding is where small amounts of white filling is used to shape your existing teeth to appear straighter, more even and in some cases whiter. This is a conservative alternative to veneers (they work very differently to veneers) and can achieve a good cosmetic result quickly, without injections or drilling, leaving your natural tooth untouched! 

This is a great cosmetic way of straightening teeth. I find this is especially popular amongst patients who are conscious of their teeth- why draw attention to your teeth with metal braces! To find out if you are a suitable patient for aligners please contact me.

Replacement of old metal filling with white fillings or getting your general dentistry completed using only white fillings is a good way of keeping your mouth healthy as well as looking white and natural. White fillings have been shown to help to protect heavily filled teeth from fracture in the long term when compared to metal fillings. Having an emphasis on good cosmetic natural results during my practice means that whenever possible I will use white fillings.

Heavily filled teeth or root filled teeth maybe better served with crowns in the long term compared with fillings, crowns/veneers can help to prevent fracture of teeth in the long term as well as restoring shape and function.
