Which cosmetic dental treatments are available at Dunstable Dental Practice?

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening in Dunstable is an effective way to update your smile quickly, painlessly and affordably. At Dunstable Dental Practice we use Boutique teeth whitening which is carried out in the privacy of your own home. You will notice results after just a few days. Boutique teeth whitening is safe and suitable for sensitive teeth.

Composite bonding

Teeth bonding is another popular cosmetic dental treatment in Dunstable because it is fast, painless and affordable. This versatile treatment uses a tooth-coloured resin that is shaped to your tooth or teeth to disguise different dental flaws including chipped, pointy or uneven teeth.

Veneers

Veneers consist of thin layers of porcelain which are stuck to the surface of your tooth or teeth to enhance their appearance and provide extra protection. This painless cosmetic dental treatment is often used by celebrities to get a stunning new smile.

Teeth straightening

Teeth straightening uses invisible braces either by Invisalign or SureSmile to guide teeth into their correct position. They can also space out crowded teeth, close unwanted gaps and help with bite issues. Comfortable and discreet, this is the revolutionary way to straighten teeth.

Dental implants

If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, it can greatly affect your confidence to smile, eat and talk. Dental implants are the permanent solution to replace missing teeth. They look and function like natural teeth and will protect the health of any remaining teeth that you have.

FAQ's for Cosmetic Dentistry

Is cosmetic dentistry right for me?

If there are things that you would like to change about your teeth, then cosmetic dentistry is probably right for you. Cosmetic dentistry is suitable for most adults, there are only a few restrictions in place. For example, we will not allow pregnant or breastfeeding women to have teeth whitening and dental implants may not be suitable if you are a smoker or taking certain medications.

At your initial consultation, we will assess your teeth and talk through your oral and general medical history to ascertain which treatments are suitable for you. This is also your chance to ask questions and to talk through options for your teeth.

Are cosmetic dental treatments painful?

Thanks to advances in cosmetic dentistry, most treatments have little or no discomfort. Certain cosmetic dental treatments such as dental bonding are completely pain free. More invasive treatments such as dental implants are carried out under a local anaesthetic so you will not feel anything at the time of treatment. If you are anxious or nervous about treatment, please do talk to us during your consultation and we can discuss options including sedation.

Can I have cosmetic dental treatments on the NHS?

No, NHS treatment does not cover cosmetic dental treatments that are not clinically needed. Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that enhance the look of your teeth so are not included in NHS services which means you will need to pay privately to have cosmetic dental treatments. At Dunstable Dental Practice, we offer 0% finance for up to 12 months to help make cosmetic dentistry affordable.
