Enhance · Changing how your smile looks
Cosmetic dentistry
If there’s something about your smile you’ve been thinking of changing, the first step is simply a conversation: what you’d like, what’s possible for your teeth and what each option involves.
What it’s for
Cosmetic treatment changes how teeth look: their colour, shape or position. The right approach depends on your teeth and on what you would like to change, and sometimes the simplest option is the best one.
- Teeth whitening, to lighten the natural colour of your teeth
- Composite bonding and SmileFast, to change the shape or appearance of teeth
- ClearCorrect clear aligners, to move teeth into a new position
- Veneers, to change the colour, shape or size of front teeth
- Whitening
- Lightens the natural colour of the tooth.
- Bonding
- Tooth-coloured material adds to or reshapes the tooth.
- Veneer
- A thin shell covers the front of the tooth.
Your consultation
Before any cosmetic treatment, your dentist will check that your teeth and gums are healthy, as some problems are best treated first.
They will explain the options that suit your teeth, what each involves, how long the results can be expected to last and what it costs, so that you can decide without pressure.

Questions
Which treatment is right for me?
That depends on your teeth and on what you’d like to change. Your dentist will explain the options that suit you, and the pros and cons of each, at your consultation.
Can I combine treatments?
Sometimes. For example, whitening is usually done before bonding or veneers, because tooth-coloured materials don’t change colour with whitening. Your dentist will explain the order that makes sense for you.
