Dental whitening
Increasing numbers of patients are turning to professional cosmetic dentistry. Television programs with their Žbefore and afterŽ examples clearly demonstrate the dramatic difference that cosmetic tooth whitening dentistry can make to one's appearance and confidence.
Aging, medications, coffee and tea drinking, smoking and heredity are all common causes of discoloured or stained teeth. These conditions can often be easily and dramatically corrected. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular and economical ways to enhance your smile and your appearance. The tooth whitening procedure we use is absolutely safe. Before any tooth whitening procedure, your teeth will first be assessed as to their suitability for treatment.
Whitening works by using different concentrations of either carbamide or hydrogen peroxide in gel form. As the active ingredients in the gel are broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and bleaches the stain.
In office whitening
With in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth. These products can be used in combination with a special light which accelerate the whitening process. Results are seen in only 30 to 60-minute treatment. But, to achieve dramatic results, several appointments are usually needed, or the treatment is complimented with home whitening kits with a customised tray to achieve a longer lasting, confident white smile.
At home whitening
Within our tray tooth whitening procedure, you are given take-home custom trays and a bleaching gel. You are in control of your whitening process, and in 10 - 14 days you will see impressive effects.

Dental Veneers
A Veneer is a thin layer (of porcelain or composite) that fits over the front surface of a tooth. Porcelain veneers are used more because of their durability and realistic appearance. Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy. They can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth.
Dental veneers indications:
- Dental discolorations that are so intensive that are so intense that are resistant to teeth whitening.
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Misaligned, or irregularly shaped teeth
- Space closure between teeth

Esthetic fillings
Silver (amalgam) fillings can give your teeth a darker, unattractive look. More natural looking porcelain, empress, and composite fillings are bonded directly to your teeth and, in addition to looking brighter, actually strengthen your teeth as well.
Esthetic crowns and bridges
A crown (cap) is a restoration that is placed on teeth that have lost a lot of their structure. There are many different types of crowns, full porcelain, porcelain fused to metal... New generation materials are extremely strong and beautiful and offer the ultimate in cosmetic dentistry.
All porcelain crowns have fantastic properties. They reflect light in such a way that they do not appear as "false teeth" but look real and alive. They contain no dark metal so there is minimal chance of a dark line appearing around the neck of the crown.
Zirconium has many substantial advantages over other traditional dental materials: it's more resistant to outside forces, has higher biocompatibility, and is more resistant to fractures. Most importantly, the material looks so natural that it would take an expert with a magnifying glass to figure out that you have a crown or bridge!

Dental Jewellery
Teeth jewellery is a brilliant way to add sparkles to your smile. During a painless procedure, the jewel is fixed on the tooth surface. The jewel does not damage tooth tissues and has no side effects. It can be easily removed without any side effects on the dental tooth structure as the procedure is non-invasive.
