STILL GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile through treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and aligners. It can address stains, chips, gaps, or misalignment for a more confident look.
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover combines multiple treatments (e.g., whitening, veneers, bonding) to transform your overall smile. It's customized to your goals, often delivering noticeable results in a few appointments.
How long does a smile makeover take?
It depends on the treatments involved—some see changes in 1-2 visits, while full plans may take 3-12 months. A consultation provides a personalized timeline.
Is composite bonding painful?
No—it's minimally invasive and usually requires no drilling or injections. The procedure is quick and comfortable, with little to no downtime.
How long does composite bonding last?
With good oral care, it typically lasts 5-10 years. It's durable, stain-resistant, and can be polished or repaired if needed.
What's the difference between composite bonding and veneers?
Bonding uses resin applied directly to teeth (quicker and cheaper), while veneers are thin custom shells (porcelain or composite) for more dramatic, longer-lasting changes.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Veneers are not reversible due to minor enamel preparation, but they last 10-15+ years with proper care and resist staining well.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
Costs vary by case and number of teeth (often £500-£1,200 per tooth in the UK). Consultations provide accurate quotes and finance options.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes—when done professionally, it uses safe bleaching agents that don't harm enamel. It brightens teeth up to several shades without long-term damage.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results can last 1-3 years, depending on diet and habits (e.g., coffee, smoking). Touch-up treatments or maintenance kits extend the brightness.
Can teeth whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No—whitening only affects natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, or fillings stay the same shade, so planning matches them during treatment.
Is Invisalign suitable for adults?
Yes—Invisalign is popular for adults as it's discreet, removable, and comfortable. It corrects crowding, gaps, or bite issues effectively.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most cases finish in 6-18 months, depending on complexity. Regular check-ups track progress with clear aligners worn 20-22 hours daily.
What is short-term orthodontics?
Short-term options (e.g., Inman Aligner) fix minor alignment issues in 6-18 weeks. They're faster than full braces and ideal for adults wanting subtle changes.
Are dental implants painful?
Placement involves local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Most patients report easy recovery, similar to a tooth extraction.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last 15-25+ years or a lifetime. They provide a secure, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with good bone density qualify. A full assessment checks oral health and ensures implants are the right option.
What is sedation dentistry?
Conscious sedation helps anxious patients relax during treatment. You stay awake but feel calm—ideal for longer or cosmetic procedures.
Is sedation safe?
Yes—it's monitored closely and very safe for most patients. It's commonly used to reduce anxiety without full general anesthesia.
What are cosmetic restorations?
These include crowns, bridges, or white fillings to repair and enhance damaged teeth. Modern materials match natural teeth for seamless aesthetics and function.
How do I know if I need a crown or veneer?
Crowns restore heavily damaged teeth structurally; veneers improve surface appearance. A consultation determines the best fit for your needs.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by the NHS?
Cosmetic treatments are generally private (not NHS-funded). Many practices offer interest-free finance to make them more accessible.
How do I maintain cosmetic dental work?
Brush twice daily, floss, avoid staining foods/drinks, and attend regular check-ups. Good habits extend the life of whitening, veneers, or bonding.
What happens at a cosmetic consultation?
You'll have an exam, discuss goals, view photos/scans, and receive a tailored plan with options and costs. It's informative with no obligation.
Do you offer emergency dental care?
Yes—many practices handle urgent issues like toothaches, broken teeth, or lost fillings alongside cosmetic services, often with same-day options.
