Cosmetic dentistry deals with the aesthetic appearance of your smile. At Buckinghamshiredental practice Garden View, we offer a large selection of cosmetic treatments, many of them taking less time than you might think. Your dream smile could be just a few appointments away.

What cosmetic dentistry can do for you

If anything about your current smile is making you unhappy, we invite you to join us for a cosmetic dentistry consultation here at Garden View Buckinghamshire. You will be seen by an experienced cosmetic dentist, who will perform a detailed clinical examination as well as finding out a bit about you and what your ideal outcome from treatment is.

Every smile is as unique as the person behind it, and we will work with you to create the smile of your dreams. You may require one treatment or a combination of two or more from our extensive cosmetic dentistry menu; whatever your requirements, your dentist will provide you with a customised and detailed treatment plan, so that you know exactly what to expect.

Among the most popular cosmetic dentistry options at our Buckinghamshire clinic are:

Teeth whitening

Carried out by a dentist, this is a safe and effective method of boosting your smile. It’s also very quick; we offer two teeth whitening options at our Buckinghamshire practice – home whitening, which takes two weeks, and power whitening, which takes just an hour.

White fillings

Metal amalgam fillings can add an unwanted glint to your smile. We can safely remove them and replace them with strong and durable tooth-coloured fillings, which are made from composite material.

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are very thin porcelain shells, placed over the front surfaces of the teeth to improve their appearance. You can have one veneer or a full set, which is called a smile makeover.

Cosmetic dentistry is the area of the profession that focus on the aesthetic appearance of your smile. It covers a wide range of treatments large and small, all designed to improve your smile’s appearance. At Buckinghamshire dental practice Garden View, our cosmetic team offer a number of ways to quickly boost your smile.

Whilst cosmetic dentistry is a highly-skilled job and it should be noted there is no such thing as a “quick-fix” solution, at our Buckinghamshire clinic our cosmetic dentist has a number of fast and effective ways to improve the way your smile looks. If you are unhappy with any aspect of your smile, we invite you to join us for a consultation.

All of the cosmetic dentistry procedures performed by the dentist at our Buckinghamshire practice are designed to last. Some of the quickest ways to boost your smile’s appearance include:

White fillings

White fillings are a popular way for a dentist to replace old, worn metal amalgam fillings. Made from tooth-coloured composite material, your clinician will carefully select a shade of material that closely matches the natural colour of your teeth, meaning that your new fillings will blend in seamlessly.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening treatment is one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry. When carried out by a dentist it is safe, reliable and fast. You can choose to have your teeth whitened here at our Buckinghamshire clinic, or can carry out treatment yourself at home.

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are micro-thin shells of porcelain placed over the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can improve the appearance of permanently discoloured teeth and can correct minor issues with spacing or alignment. Veneers can also be used to reinforce and improve the look of a tooth that is mildly chipped or cracked.

Cosmetic dentistry deals with the aesthetic appearance of your smile. One of the most common requests from a cosmetic dentist is for whiter teeth. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, we offer a number of ways to lighten the colour of your teeth – all guaranteed to produce results that look as natural as they do beautiful.

Cosmetic dentistry consultations

The first step on your journey to lighter teeth is to join us at our Buckinghamshire dental practice for a cosmetic dentistry consultation. Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and will assess the nature of any staining so that they can recommend the best treatment.

Your clinician will also check that you are in full dental health, because all cosmetic dentistry should only be carried out on a healthy mouth. If you need any additional treatment – for example, for tooth decay or gum disease – this will be factored in to your treatment plan.

Teeth whitening options at our Buckinghamshire clinic

Our teeth are easily stained in everyday life – drinks such as tea and coffee, habits such as smoking, even some medicines can cause tooth staining.

One of the most popular ways to get rid of these stains is teeth whitening, which uses a special dental bleaching gel to safely remove everyday stains, leaving your teeth several shades whiter. This can either be carried out here in our Buckinghamshire clinic in a single, hour-long session, or at home, which takes about two weeks.

If we find your teeth are permanently stained, we may recommend using porcelain veneers to improve their appearance. These very thin porcelain shells are fixed over the front surfaces of the front teeth and can correct minor alignment and spacing issues, as well as masking stained teeth.

Veneers require minimal preparation of the teeth, and usually take two appointments to fit.

Cosmetic dentistry offers a number of solutions to people who are unhappy with the spacing of their teeth. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, our skilled cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani welcomes new patients for cosmetic dental consultations.

Patients with gappy smiles can choose from a range of cosmetic dentistry options at our Buckinghamshire dental practice. The ideal treatment in your case will depend on a number of factors, including the nature and amount of correction needed, and your personal preference.

Diastema closure

Open gingival embrasures, also known as black triangles, are a common complaint in adult patients. These gaps and dark spaces between the teeth can be caused by gum recession, bone loss, and movement of the teeth, and can make the teeth look old. They are also prime breeding grounds for plaque bacteria because food particles can easily become trapped in these spaces.

At our Buckinghamshire practice we use the ClarkMatrix system to close these gaps with composite bonding material – the same material used for white fillings. This treatment uses clear forms that are filled with composite material closely matched to your natural tooth colour to close the gaps and improve your gum line.

Veneers

Veneers are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry. These thin pieces of porcelain are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance, and can be used to close gaps. A minimally-invasive procedure, this typically involves two visits to the dental practice.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces designed to quickly improve the position of your front six to eight teeth. These braces comprise clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, and have an average treatment time of just six months. We also provide an extra smile boost with teeth whitening – the best-known procedure in cosmetic dentistry – free of charge at the end of treatment.

Cosmetic dentistry was once thought to be only for A-list celebrities and the mega-rich. These days, however, more and more people are opting for cosmetic dental treatment. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, skilled cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani and his team have helped many patients to transform their smiles, and their lives, with aesthetic dental treatment.

Dr Al-Karim Makhani is highly experienced in providing cosmetic dentistry to a wide range of patients. Whether you require a single treatment such as teeth whitening or are in need of a full smile makeover, Dr Makhani and the friendly team at his Buckinghamshire dental practice can help.

If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry, your first step should be to book a consultation with Dr Makhani here at our Buckinghamshire practice. He will find out what you like and dislike about your current smile, and what you would like to change. He will also carefully examine your teeth, gums and surrounding structures before recommending the best course of treatment to achieve your smile goals.

Dr Makhani may recommend a single treatment or a combination from our cosmetic dentistry menu. Among the popular treatments are. . .

Six Month Smiles

These discreet braces help to correct a range of aesthetic alignment concerns quickly and safely. By focussing on the front teeth – those that show when you smile – treatment is completed, on average, in just six months.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening uses special, safe dental bleaching products to remove everyday stains and discolouration from your teeth. This can be carried out here at our Buckinghamshire practice or in the comfort of your own home.

Diastema closure

Many adults suffer from black triangles, known as open gingival embrasures. This is often due to bone loss and recession of the gum line, and sometimes due to movement in the teeth. Diastema closure uses composite material to close these gaps.
