Whitening and Bleaching

Discoloured teeth are the bane of smokers, red wine buffs, tea and coffee drinkers and even some people who have had antibiotics as a child. Don’t despair: a safe and effective remedy is only a smile away. Your dentist will determine whether your teeth are suitable for bleaching before making a thin bleaching tray that fits comfortably over your teeth. This is worn with a small amount of tooth whitening gel for 10-14 days or nights.

While you wear your bleaching tray, it gently whitens your teeth. According to research, whitening is perfectly safe for teeth and gums. That’s because the tooth structure has not been changed, just the colour. And if caffeine, red wine and cigarettes continue to be a daily fix, you can re-brighten your smile by wearing the tray one or two nights every six to nine months.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ideal for creating beautiful smiles in cases of small, oddly shaped, spaced, or discoloured teeth. With this procedure you will be involved directly in your own design process in reshaping, widening and brightening your smile, thus ensuring total satisfaction.

Your dentist can place temporary bonding for 2-3 weeks to protect your teeth and to create the blueprint for your new smile. Thin skins are then fused to the teeth enabling normal social and eating activities to resume immediately. After treatment, you will feel very excited about your beautiful smile.

Porcelain Crowns

For many years traditional crowns have been used to strengthen teeth that are heavily filled, weakened, or darkened due to root canal therapy. But thanks to new technology porcelain crowns look better than your own teeth. This is because the distinctive dark metal line or ‘blue halo’ of old style crowns has been eliminated.

Porcelain crowns are metal free and so natural looking that they could be mistaken for real teeth. You don’t have to have the ‘blue halo’ look with your new crowns. Ask about how this exciting technology can help create your new beautiful smile.

Porcelain Inlays

Extensively filled back teeth can now be rebuilt with the modern technology of porcelain to restore teeth to their pre-filled condition. Utilising highly glazed, colour matched porcelain back teeth can be rebuilt to ideal long term strength. Teeth that are heavily filled with large silver fillings are at risk of fracturing and can be rebuilt with porcelain inlays preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure. Smiles can even be widened utilising this new technology. After treatment patients can laugh and smile with confidence.
