Smile design is a highly technical process requiring great skill and experience to achieve a natural looking beautiful smile.

Consultation

During your initial cosmetic consultation, we take time to thoroughly check your dental health and to understand your ultimate smile desires and expectations. We use advanced computer imaging and digital photography to create before and after images so that you can see the results of your cosmetic dentistry before the procedure begins. In addition, digital x-rays and intra-oral camera's allow for expert evaluation and precise planning of your cosmetic procedure.

Using a combination of your desires and our expertise, we carefully select the cosmetic procedures and methods to achieve the most desirable, natural looking smile for you. These can range from simple composite bonding to beautiful porcelain veneers, or strong, durable crowns meticulously custom made by our master ceramist. Up close you will notice the use of superior quality materials and unrivalled craftsmanship. The bite is carefully analysed for total comfort and the colour verified, along with details such as the surface texture and lustre to ensure your smile looks and feels completely natural.

Extensive smile design treatments may require as few as two appointments that are typically several hours each depending on the complexity.
