Below is a selection of informational and instructional videos relating to various treatments and techniques.

Cosmetics

Cosmetic Contouring (with face)

Chipped and irregular teeth can spoil the 'smile line'. Small corrections to the length and shape of each tooth can make a big difference. The changes can be made easily and quickly.

Amalgam to Composite

Amalgam fillings in the lower jaw can often be seen when we talk or laugh. But amalgam fillings can also sometimes be seen in the upper jaw. These can be unsightly and can also discolour the tooth. Composite (White) fillings are available to improve this.

Crown Margin

Over time the gum can recede away from the crown this is known as the crown margin. The old crown can be removed and a new, deeper crown fitted to cover this area.

Bonded Crown

Over time the gum can recede away from the crown this is known as the crown margin. The old crown can be removed and a new, deeper crown fitted to cover this area.

Diastemas (gap in the front teeth)

A gap in the front teeth (Diastema) can appear unsightly. Tubes are placed over the two teeth and filled with Composite material. This builds up the teeth, closing the gap. The material is hardened with a bright light.

Tooth Jewellery

Tooth Jewellery is 'stuck' to the tooth. The glue is hardened using a bright light. Jewellery may be removed without damage.

Veneers

Discoloured, chipped or cracked teeth can benefit from a veneer. A thin layer of the tooth surface is shaved off. A veneer is made to fit perfectly, protecting the tooth underneath.

Barrier Whitening

Before applying tooth whitening gel the gums need to be protected. A potective barrier is applied and hardened using a bright light. The whitening gel is then applied and activated using a bright light. The gel will stay on the teeth for some time.
This is then washed away and the barrier removed. Leaving bright, white teeth.

Tray Whitening

One of the methods for whitening teeth uses a 'tray'. First of all, impressions are taken from which a study model is made. This is painted with a special material which increases the thickness of the tooth area. When the tray is prepared, a small pocket is produced. The whitening solution occupies this pocket ensuring that it only comes into contact with the required surfaces and that no damage is done to the soft gums.
