Cosmetic treatments
Are you happy with your smile?
Our dentists are here to help you get the best natural-looking and healthy smile.
Here are just a few of the cosmetic dentistry procedures that can dramatically improve your smile.
Treatments available include:
- Natural-coloured fillings, to replace silver fillings
- Tooth whitening, to brighten your smile
- Ceramic technology, to replace old crowns and bridges
- Veneers, to disguise chipped, crooked or unevenly worn teeth.
Tooth whitening
If your teeth have become discoloured over time, there are now ways to reverse this effect. Tooth whitening is now not just available to Hollywood actors, at Cuckfield Dental Practice we offer affordable methods to lighten your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface.
The most common method of tooth whitening is professional bleaching, where a tray is made to fit around your teeth like a gum shield and the whitening product is left to work. As oxygen gets into the enamel on your teeth, the active ingredient reacts and makes the teeth lighter in colour. The total treatment can usually be done within three to four weeks, and you will need to wear the shield at home each day for up to an hour during this time.
Veneers
Veneers can be used to improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth. They can instantly improve your smile by hiding discolouration, closing small gaps and repairing chips and cracks. A veneer is a thin slice of porcelain, or a tooth-coloured composite, made to be bonded and fitted precisely over the front surface of a tooth - much like a false fingernail on a nail.
Very little preparation of the tooth is needed. Your dentist will match the shade of your natural teeth and take an impression of the tooth. This will usually be sent to a laboratory where a dental technician will create your porcelain veneer. If you opt for a composite veneer, it can normally be fitted in one visit using the same material used for tooth-coloured fillings. Composite veneers are more prone to discolouration over time, however replacements are easily made.
Veneers can make teeth look natural and healthy, and should last for many years.
