Here at Manor Lodge Dental Practice we know that in today’s society, your smile is often considered a valuable asset, particularly when it comes to aesthetics. With advancements in dental technology, when you are seeking to improve your smile you can turn to cosmetic dentistry at our dentist in Edgware. Manor Lodge Dental Practice offers a range of cosmetic dentistry procedures, including but not limited to veneers, composite bonding, and teeth whitening. So, if you are looking to change your aesthetics with an improved smile, look no further than our dentist in Edgware.

Veneers

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment for changing the look of your smile. These cover the front surface of the teeth with a slim shell, helping to hide imperfections on them. This may include imperfections like discolouration or misaligned teeth. They are most often made from porcelain or composite resin which both offer longevity and a natural looking finish.

During a consultation with our cosmetic dentist in Edgware, they will carefully evaluate your dental health and discuss your expectations for your treatment. Our dentist will then prepare your teeth, removing a thin layer of your tooth enamel to create space for the veneers to fit into. Following this your impressions will be taken and sent off for your veneers to be created at a laboratory.

Once your custom-made veneers are ready, our dentist will carefully bond the veneers to your teeth. Our dentist would also then be provided with an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments towards your desired fit and appearance.

Dental bonding

Composite bonding is another cosmetic dentistry procedure which you can utilise to help improve the aesthetics of your smile. This involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to your teeth, which can then be shaped and polished to create a natural-looking result. Composite bonding can be used to address various of your dental concerns, including chipped or cracked teeth.

Our dentist carefully applies the resin to your teeth in layers, retaining the structure of your natural teeth, sculpting and shaping the resin during the process to adapt the shape and appearance. Once the desired result is achieved, the resin can be hardened by using a special curing light. The final step involves polishing the bonded tooth to blend with the surrounding teeth.

Whitening treatments

Teeth whitening can really help to improve the brightness of your teeth. Over time, teeth can become stained by eating certain foods, smoking, and ageing. These whitening treatments can restore or create a natural looking brightness for your teeth, helping you to achieve a more youthful looking and vibrant smile.

Our dentist will assess your dental health before beginning treatment. In-practice teeth whitening treatments typically involve the application of a bleaching agent to your teeth, which can then be activated using a light. This helps to break down stains and discolouration, which have built up over time.

It is important to note that teeth whitening treatments may not be suitable for everyone. There are some dental conditions, such as tooth decay and gum disease, which may need to be addressed before you undergo teeth whitening treatment. Consulting with a qualified cosmetic dentist is crucial for the safety and effectiveness of your treatment.
