Cosmetic Dentistry London, Forest Hill

Cosmetic dentistry provides restorative benefits and well as much more. For example, dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Conventionally, most dental fillings are composed primarily of: gold, amalgam and other materials which normally leave visible dark spots on the teeth.
Today, dental fillings may fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry, because you can select fillings made of porcelain or composite materials that closely match the colour of your teeth, thus maintaining a natural appearance.
Many people may choose to have their older fillings replaced with newer, tooth-coloured fillings to enhance their oral appearance.
Additionally, we are now using more conservative cosmetic dentistry techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending upon your specific clinical situation.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures currently in use include:

Inlays/Onlays:

Inlays and Onlays made from porcelain, or composite materials are long-lasting, and at the same time a cosmetic way to provide a “filling” to teeth with decay or fractures.
Inlays and Onlays are created in a dental laboratory before being fitted and adhesively bonded into place.

Composite Bonding:

Chipped, broken, discoloured or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance corrected using a procedure called composite bonding.
A high-intensity light is applied to most of the white fillings to harden the composite. The result is a restoration with the most natural looking appearance that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth.

Tooth Whitening:

Tooth whitening is the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. Stains can be covered by   smoking, coffee, tea or red wine . The appearance of the tooth can be enhanced by tooth whitening.

Veneers:

porcelain veneers can be adhesively bonded to the surface of the teeth to correct and repair chips and cracks as well as discolorations.
Veneers may also be recommended if you have gaps in your teeth (Diastema) or if you have not had success with teeth whitening.

Dental Implants:

Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements in order to compensate for missing teeth.
Often the result is not only an enhanced smile, but also a more youthful appearance, since missing teeth cause the face to collapse, making you look older.
