Cosmetic dentistry / Eastcote & Pinner
Small details. A considered smile.
A chipped edge, an uneven shape or a space you notice in photographs. Bonding and veneers offer different ways to change the appearance of teeth, starting with an honest conversation about what suits yours.
Composite bonding & veneers.
- Shape & proportion
- Shade planning
- Individual assessment
Understanding your options
Your teeth. Thoughtfully refined.
The right option depends on the health of your teeth, your bite and the change you would like to make. Adding material is not always a substitute for moving teeth.
Composite bonding
Tooth-coloured resin is shaped and polished on a tooth to adjust an edge, fill a small chip or change its outline. The amount of preparation depends on the tooth and the plan.
Veneer options
A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth. Material choices and preparation vary; your dentist should explain any tooth removal, its implications and the alternatives before you decide.
Planning the whole smile
Shade, proportions and the way teeth meet need to work together. If alignment or whitening should come first, we can discuss the order rather than treating one concern in isolation.
A realistic starting point
Cosmetic treatment needs healthy teeth and gums. Grinding, a heavy bite, decay or active gum problems may change the recommendation or need attention first.
At the practice
Your care, step by step.
Bring an idea of what you would like to change. We will use that conversation to explore what is achievable without promising an identical result to someone else's smile.
Planning your visit
The detail begins with an examination.
The smile photographs on this page illustrate the subject. They are not a prediction of your treatment result.
Discuss the detail
Show us the edges, spaces or shapes you notice and explain how much change you are hoping for.
Check the foundations
We assess oral health, bite and existing restorations, then discuss bonding, veneers and other suitable options.
Shape your plan
Agree the teeth involved, material, shade, preparation and fees. Treatment timing depends on the option selected.
Finish and review
Your dentist checks the finish and bite and explains cleaning, maintenance and when to return.
Looking ahead
A plan that makes sense.
A cosmetic plan should include looking after the result, not just the day it is fitted.
Protect the finish
Bonding and veneers can chip, stain or need repair or replacement over time. Avoid using teeth to open packaging and tell your dentist if you clench or grind.
