Cosmetic Dentistry

Veneers are traditionally thin layers of Porcelain placed over the surfaces of teeth, similar to how a false nail sits on a nail. They are excellent at correcting minor irregularities in teeth such as a chip, an inset tooth, gaps, or discoloured teeth.

Veneers give a beautiful natural look to teeth, and are usually the treatment of choice for smile make overs.

The preparation and requirements of each case is different, you may require one or several veneers with some or no tooth removal to achieve the most aesthetic result.

At Madoc Dental Care the filling material of choice are natural tooth coloured fillings, as we appreciate the importance of a natural looking smile and appearance.

There is also an opportunity to replace existing silver fillings. As well as preventing that ‘grey’ colour when you smile, the tooth coloured fillings are healthier for your teeth as they preserve more of your natural tooth. The material can also be used to correct minor irregularities in front teeth, and mask discoloured teeth.

Invisalign® is the clear alternative to braces. It is a series of removable custom made aligners that straighten your teeth, as you change them every two weeks.

Before you embark on this journey you have the opportunity to see what the end result will aim to look like. This is great motivation, as you can monitor the changes as you go, facilitated with a new app for your mobile.

The Invisalign® system is different to the traditional methods of straightening teeth, as there are no wires or metal. This makes them difficult for others to see, and as the aligners are removable it also means you can take them out to keep good oral hygiene and enjoy your meals.

At Madoc Dental Care we appreciate the importance of feeling good about your self and the impact a beautiful bright white smile can have on your confidence. Teeth whitening is a safe and effective procedure that will make your teeth several shades lighter, and in a majority of cases it is the only treatment you need to give your smile that little extra you are looking for.

Teeth can loose their natural brightness and colour over time influenced by smoking, drinking tea, coffee and red wine. This in turn can affect the overall appearance of a smile and self esteem. At Madoc Dental Care the practitioners are fully trained in using the only teeth whitening system in the world to guarantee a B1 shade – Enlighten. There are a number of enlighten products available, so book for a complimentary consultation for advice.

Will teeth whitening damage my teeth?

No, at Madoc Dental Care we only use whitening products that contain the legally allowed concentration of bleach that does not remove any tooth structure or cause adverse effects. In a minority of cases teeth whitening can cause some temporary sensitivity, however our highly trained professionals will advise you regarding this and highlight your risk.

Please note, it is illegal for non-dental personnel to sell teeth whitening products. What they sell you has a risk of causing permanent damage to your teeth and blistering your gums.

How long will the whitening process take?

Generally it will take two weeks to get to the desired result, however in some circumstances it may take longer.

Is teeth whitening permanent?

Results are long lasting, however it does depend on an individual’s smoking habits, food and drink intake that can re-stain the teeth. Maintenance is simple once the initial treatment is completed by occasionally refreshing the whitening for one night. Once you have the trays you can buy top up whitening products from Madoc Dental Care.

Will tooth whitening work on false teeth?

No, the whitening product will not work on porcelain crowns, implants or acrylic teeth. A thorough dental exam prior to whitening will identify if you have any of these and the dental professional will inform you.

Composite bonding can be placed into two categories depending on how much tooth is being covered. Full coverage is a composite veneer and partial coverage is commonly known as ‘edge’ bonding.

Both treatments are excellent non-invasive ways to achieve that smile you have always wanted. Generally the treatments involve no tooth cutting, no injections and is all done in one visit. Combined with a course of teeth whitening, you really can achieve an incredible result.
