At Earley Dental Practice, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services to help enhance your smile and boost your confidence. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a complete smile makeover, our expert team is here to guide you through the best treatment options. Here is an overview of some of our most popular treatments:

Veneers
Teeth Whitening
Composite Bonding
White Fillings
SmileFast

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain or composite shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are a popular choice for addressing chipped, stained, misaligned, or unevenly spaced teeth. Veneers offer a natural and long-lasting solution, providing a flawless smile with minimal tooth preparation.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years with proper care, while composite veneers typically last 5–7 years.

Are veneers reversible?

Porcelain veneers require some enamel removal, making the process irreversible. Composite veneers, however, are more conservative and can sometimes be reversed.

Will veneers look natural?

Yes! Veneers are designed to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and colour for a seamless appearance.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is an effective way to remove stains and discolouration, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile. At Earley Dental Practice, we offer safe and long-lasting whitening treatments that deliver noticeable results without damaging your enamel.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, professional whitening is completely safe when carried out by a qualified dentist. Over-the-counter products can be harsh, so it’s best to opt for a dentist-approved treatment.

How long do the results last?

Results can last between 6 months and 2 years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle habits.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Some people experience temporary sensitivity, but it usually subsides within a few days. We use desensitising agents to minimise discomfort.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a quick and non-invasive solution to fix minor cosmetic imperfections such as chips, gaps, and discolouration. A tooth-coloured resin is applied and sculpted to the tooth before being hardened with a special light, instantly improving your smile.

How long does composite bonding last?

Bonding typically lasts 3–7 years, depending on your oral care routine and habits.

Does bonding require any drilling or anaesthesia?

No, the procedure is minimally invasive and often does not require drilling or anaesthesia.

Can composite bonding stain over time?

Yes, composite resin can stain from coffee, tea, and smoking. Regular dental cleanings help maintain its appearance.

White Fillings

White fillings (composite fillings) are a modern alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and durable solution for cavities and minor tooth damage.

Are white fillings as strong as metal fillings?

Yes, composite fillings are durable and suitable for most cavities, though very large fillings may require additional reinforcement.

Can old silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?

Yes, many patients choose to replace old amalgam fillings with composite fillings for a more natural look.

How long do white fillings last?

With good oral hygiene, they can last 7–10 years or more.

SmileFast

SmileFast is an innovative cosmetic dentistry system that allows patients to achieve a smile makeover in a shorter time. Using digital smile design technology, it helps create a preview of your future smile and streamlines treatments such as veneers, bonding, and whitening into a fast and efficient process.

How is SmileFast different from traditional treatments?

SmileFast combines multiple treatments into one efficient process, reducing treatment time and improving accuracy.

Can I see my new smile before treatment begins?

Yes! With digital smile design, you can preview your results before committing to treatment.

Is SmileFast suitable for everyone?

Most patients looking for cosmetic improvements can benefit, but a consultation is needed to determine eligibility.

Frequently asked questions

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. It includes treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, composite bonding, and SmileFast.

Is cosmetic dentistry only for aesthetic purposes?

While aesthetic dentistry enhances the appearance of your smile, many treatments also improve oral health and function. For example, veneers can protect damaged teeth, and white fillings restore cavities while blending naturally with your teeth.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Most cosmetic dental treatments are minimally invasive and cause little to no discomfort. If a procedure requires any preparation or reshaping, your dentist will ensure you are comfortable with anaesthesia if necessary.

How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?

The longevity of your results depends on the treatment. Teeth whitening can last 6 months to 2 years, veneers can last over 10 years, and composite bonding typically lasts 3–7 years. Proper oral care and regular dental visits help extend the lifespan of treatments.
