Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments in London

Aesthetic Options for Your Smile

Choosing the right treatment depends on the specific imperfections you wish to correct. We use a variety of procedures to address gaps, misalignment, chips, and discoloration. To help you decide, we provide a virtual preview of your new smile and detailed treatment previews, so you can see the potential result before you begin.

Veneers and Bonding

For those seeking a natural-looking transformation, we combine different techniques to improve the overall harmony of the smile. We offer porcelain veneers for a durable, high-quality finish. If you prefer a different approach, we provide composite veneers. For smaller chips or gaps, composite bonding is often an effective choice.

Whitening and Contouring

Stains and discoloration can often be resolved without changing the tooth structure. We provide in-practice whitening using custom take-home trays. We also offer cosmetic contouring and surgical gum correction to refine the shape of your smile.

Integrated Smile Makeovers

Complex cases often need a multidisciplinary approach. Dr Sodeinde and the team may suggest combining treatments, such as orthodontic treatment or root canal treatment, aiming for a stable, natural-looking result.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options and Costs

What types of cosmetic dentistry are there?

We offer a range of options to improve the appearance of your teeth, including porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and crowns using porcelain caps for severely damaged teeth. Our clinical lead is Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).

Which cosmetic dentistry option is right for me?

The right choice depends on the current state of your enamel and your aesthetic goals. We assess your dental health first, so the method we choose protects your natural tooth structure. You can view our cosmetic dentistry costs in London.

How do I choose between cosmetic dentistry options?

Selection is based on the level of damage and the desired result. For example, crowns are often most suitable for teeth that are severely damaged. We explain the pros and cons of each method during your visit so you can avoid a look that reads as artificial.

How much do the different cosmetic dentistry options cost?

Fees vary with the materials used and the complexity of the restoration. We give you a clear breakdown of costs at your initial appointment. See our guide to cosmetic dentistry costs in London for more detail.

What happens at a cosmetic dentistry assessment?

We examine your teeth and gums to identify any underlying issues, such as plaque or decay. We then discuss which treatments will achieve your goals while maintaining oral health. Learn more about what happens at your cosmetic dentistry consultation and how to book.

Will the treatment damage my enamel?

Some procedures remove a small amount of tooth structure; others are minimally invasive. We aim to preserve as much natural enamel as possible, and we assess your eligibility for each option during the consultation.

Can I get a natural-looking result?

We match shape and shade to your existing teeth, aiming for a natural-looking result. Older materials and techniques were more prone to looking artificial; our focus is on a result that looks natural to the eye.

How do you handle dental anxiety?

Feeling nervous about dental work is common. We provide a calm environment and use techniques to help anxious patients feel at ease. Your comfort is a priority throughout your visit.

What are the risks of complications?

As with any clinical procedure, there are risks, such as sensitivity or the need for replacement over time. We talk through these possibilities during your planning phase so you can make an informed decision.

How long do the results last?

The lifespan of your restoration depends on the material used and your home care routine. Regular maintenance helps prevent decay and extends the life of crowns or veneers. We give you a maintenance plan to help you look after the results.

Can I combine different treatments?

Many patients combine treatments to achieve a full restoration, for example treating gum disease before placing veneers or crowns. We sequence the plan to build the healthiest possible foundation first.

Compare our aesthetic dental options

We offer a wide range of options to address gaps, misalignment, chips, and discoloration. Some patients need a single procedure, while others benefit from combining treatments to improve the overall harmony of their smile.

Surface and Shape Refinement

• Porcelain veneers: Thin shells of ceramic for a durable, natural look.
• Composite veneers: A resin-based alternative to porcelain.
• No-prep veneers: An option that requires minimal tooth alteration.
• Composite bonding: A versatile resin used to fill chips or gaps.
• Cosmetic contouring: Subtle reshaping of the tooth edges.

Advanced Smile Design

For more complex transformations, we combine several procedures using a planned, staged approach. This may include digital smile design for veneers or the use of lumineers.

Brightening and Restoration

We treat stubborn stains and discoloration with custom take-home trays. You can also access professional Opalescence power whitening for faster results. For structural restoration, we provide composite fillings and indirect composite bonding.

Corrective and Specialist Care

Some aesthetic goals require underlying clinical work first. We may recommend orthodontics, such as Invisalign or Angel Aligner, to straighten teeth as part of a plan. In complex cases, we may suggest endodontics (root canal treatment), periodontics, or surgical gum correction. Your specialist periodontist and the team discuss these options during your assessment to determine the most suitable path for your dental health.
