Cosmetic Dentistry
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Here at Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre, all our team are highly trained, and our focus is on preventive dentistry. Preventive dentistry aims to keep your mouth healthy and limits the amount of dental treatment you require. The two main causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better you prevent or deal with these two problems, the more chance you will have of keeping your teeth for life.
Whiter, brighter teeth have become easily achievable thanks to the technological advancements of cosmetic dentistry.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is focused on enhancing the general appearance of your teeth and smile. It can significantly boost your self-esteem. At Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre, our highly experienced team of dentists are able to offer a wide range of aesthetic treatments to improve the appearance of your smile. Cosmetic dentistry includes teeth whitening, dental bonding, restorations and fillings, dental implants, porcelain veneers, orthodontics, and more.
Is cosmetic dentistry expensive?
This very much depends on the procedures that you want. A good number of procedures require several visits or are difficult to do, so that plays a big role in terms of the pricing. The solution is to book an appointment at Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre, where our dentists will be able to create a dental treatment plan that meets your budget.
Will my smile look fake?
With veneers, and with whitening, we work with you to find a look you want during your consultation. Porcelain veneers and bridges have been centuries in development, and now new technology can work in utterly minute detail to ensure that your smile looks completely natural. The porcelain layers we work with are thin but strong and can be shaped and coloured to match your smile perfectly.
Do cosmetic treatments damage my teeth?
Any adjustment done to the underlying teeth needs to be seen as permanent and irreversible but is to the large part minimal and of limited long-term consequence. Typically, the least invasive (kindest to teeth) techniques are teeth whitening, teeth straightening, and direct composites. The most invasive (destructive to teeth) are porcelain crowns and conventional bridges.
