FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of people have cosmetic dental treatments? New minimally invasive techniques and painless treatments mean that cosmetic dentistry is now readily accessible for almost anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth.

Will the treatment hurt? We endeavour to make the whole experience as stress free and relaxed as possible. Even if you do require a local anaestheic, with modern techniques and state of the art facilities this can be undertaken with the minimum of discomfort..

My back teeth have a lot of silver/gold fillings. Is there a less obivious way to fill cavities? New advances in tooth-colored porcelain and composite materials not only allow fillings to go unnoticed, but are stronger and more wear resistant than silver and gold..

How can I make my discoloured teeth whiter? Teeth can be whitened to the desired shade over several practice visits. At-home systems can be recommended also.

What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry? A great smile should improve your self-confidence, which can have a positive aspect on all areas of your life. Cosmetic dentistry is not just about an attractive smile, new techniques enable your mouth to look good, get healthy and function better at the same time..

Can adults have braces? Yes! Adults can benefit from orthodontics. If an adult suffers from a "bad bite" it can lead to many other problems that can be more difficult to treat. A dentist can formulate a custom treatment plan after a comprehensive exam is done, including X-rays, study models, and photographs of the face.

Once the treatment plan is agreed upon the treatment will be phased and the bands, brackets and wires will be placed. If a removable appliance is used impressions will be taken for a retainer type appliance.

The active phase of orthodontics takes frequent visits to the dentist and the total time required for orthodontic treatment usually takes longer than for children because the facial bones in an adult have stopped growing. While both adult and children's orthodontics requires a commitment, most patients agree that the results are worth the financial and personal investment.
