Professional Teeth Whitening in Cardiff.
Tooth whitening is a non-invasive and transformative treatment to brighten the smile.
Tooth whitening reverses the effects of staining agents like tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco, which can dull the natural brilliance of dental enamel over time. By carefully treating the teeth with professional whitening agents, we can help lift stains and lighten the natural shade of your teeth, creating a brighter, fresher-looking smile. Results vary between individuals, and your dentist will discuss the results you may be able to achieve before starting treatment.
You may wish to consider a visit to one of our hygienists before Tooth Whitening treatment to help achieve a more radiant smile.
Composite bonding provides a non-destructive, quick way to make adjustments to your teeth.
Composite bonding can be used to correct small gaps, chips, staining, discolouration, or other minor problems with your teeth. Bonding can also be done in one appointment and requires no lab-made materials so you can walk away with your transformed smile on the same day!
Porcelain Veneers.
Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment for patients looking for a long-lasting transformation. Porcelain Veneers are custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, addressing a variety of dental concerns such as discolouration, chips, and gaps. Veneers are valued for their durability and ability to resist stains, making them a great choice for a complete smile transformation.
Crowns and Bridges.
Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments that protect damaged teeth or replace missing ones and help with the functionality and appearance of the teeth.
Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of a patient's natural teeth, and cover the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth. Not only do they restore the aesthetic appeal of teeth affected by damage or decay, but they also offer substantial protection and reinforcement.
Dental bridges replace missing teeth. A dental bridge consists of both crowns that fit over your natural teeth and artificial teeth that “bridge the gap” in your smile.
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. A small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root and provides a secure foundation for a crown, bridge or replacement teeth.
Implants can help restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably, improve the appearance of your smile and help maintain the jawbone where teeth have been lost. Each implant treatment is carefully planned around your oral health, needs and desired results.
Clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth without fixed braces. Your treatment begins with a digital intraoral scan, which helps create a personalised plan and allows you to see how your teeth are expected to move step by step throughout treatment. The custom-made aligners are usually worn for around 20–22 hours a day, with treatment often taking approximately 6–18 months, depending on your individual needs
Composite Bonding vs Porcelain Veneers vs Teeth Whitening: Which Is Right for You?
Choosing between composite bonding, porcelain veneers and teeth whitening depends on what you would like to change, your budget, tooth condition and long-term expectations.
Teeth whitening may be suitable if you are happy with the shape of your teeth but want a brighter smile. Composite bonding can improve chips, gaps, shape and uneven edges and is generally a more affordable, minimally invasive option, although it may require maintenance over time. Porcelain veneers can make more significant changes to the shape, colour and overall appearance of teeth and typically offer greater stain resistance and longevity.
Your dentist can assess your teeth and oral health, discuss your desired results and explain the costs, longevity, maintenance and limitations of each option, helping you choose the treatment most suitable for your smile.
How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Dental Treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. Treatments can address concerns such as discolouration, gaps, chips, uneven teeth, misalignment and missing teeth. At West Grove Dental, cosmetic dental treatments include professional teeth whitening, composite bonding, porcelain veneers and clear aligners, alongside crowns, bridges and dental implants where teeth need to be restored or replaced.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies depending on the treatment, the number of teeth involved and the complexity of your individual case. When considering treatment, it is also important to think about longevity and future maintenance, as some treatments may require replacement, repairs or ongoing maintenance over time. Following your consultation, we will provide a personalised treatment plan and clear breakdown of costs. Finance options are available on eligible treatments for patients who would prefer to spread the cost.
What is the best treatment for improving my smile?
There is no single cosmetic dental treatment that is best for everyone. The right option depends on what you would like to change, your oral health, budget and expectations. Teeth whitening can improve discolouration, composite bonding can address chips, gaps and uneven edges, clear aligners can straighten teeth, while porcelain veneers can provide a more significant change to the appearance of your smile. Suitability, longevity, maintenance requirements and the preservation of your natural teeth are all important considerations when choosing a treatment.
Is cosmetic dentistry suitable for everyone?
Many people are suitable for cosmetic dentistry, but treatment recommendations will depend on the health of your teeth and gums. Before beginning cosmetic dental treatment, your dentist will assess your oral health, concerns and expectations. Issues such as tooth decay or gum disease may need to be addressed before cosmetic treatment begins. We will explain which options are suitable for you and discuss any alternative treatments where appropriate.
How long do cosmetic treatments last?
The longevity of cosmetic dental treatments varies depending on the procedure, your oral health, lifestyle and how well you maintain your teeth. Teeth whitening usually requires ongoing maintenance to maintain the desired shade, while composite bonding may require polishing, repair or replacement over time. Veneers, crowns, bridges and dental implants can provide longer-term solutions but still require excellent oral hygiene and regular professional care. Regular dental examinations and hygiene appointments are important for maintaining both your natural teeth and cosmetic dental work.
