Cosmetic dentistry was once thought to be only for A-list celebrities and the mega-rich. These days, however, more and more people are opting for cosmetic dental treatment. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, skilled cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani and his team have helped many patients to transform their smiles, and their lives, with aesthetic dental treatment.

Dr Al-Karim Makhani is highly experienced in providing cosmetic dentistry to a wide range of patients. Whether you require a single treatment such as teeth whitening or are in need of a full smile makeover, Dr Makhani and the friendly team at his Buckinghamshire dental practice can help.

If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry, your first step should be to book a consultation with Dr Makhani here at our Buckinghamshire practice. He will find out what you like and dislike about your current smile, and what you would like to change. He will also carefully examine your teeth, gums and surrounding structures before recommending the best course of treatment to achieve your smile goals.

Dr Makhani may recommend a single treatment or a combination from our cosmetic dentistry menu. Among the popular treatments are. . .

Six Month Smiles

These discreet braces help to correct a range of aesthetic alignment concerns quickly and safely. By focussing on the front teeth – those that show when you smile – treatment is completed, on average, in just six months.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening uses special, safe dental bleaching products to remove everyday stains and discolouration from your teeth. This can be carried out here at our Buckinghamshire practice or in the comfort of your own home.

Diastema closure

Many adults suffer from black triangles, known as open gingival embrasures. This is often due to bone loss and recession of the gum line, and sometimes due to movement in the teeth. Diastema closure uses composite material to close these gaps.

Cosmetic dentistry is an increasingly popular way to give yourself a makeover. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, our skilled cosmetic team offer a wide range of treatments – including some fast ways to improve the appearance of your smile.

One of the fastest ways to give your smile a natural-looking, long-lasting makeover is with porcelain veneers. Veneers are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry. We have helped many patients at our Buckinghamshire dental practice to boost the appearance of their smiles with the help of veneers.

If you are interested in this treatment, you should come into Garden View in Buckinghamshire for a cosmetic dentistry consultation. Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and assess whether this is the most appropriate treatment for you.

Veneers can be used to address a number of cosmetic concerns, including teeth that are slightly chipped or cracked, teeth that are permanently discoloured or stained, and slight issues with gaps between teeth or with tooth alignment. They are very thin shells of porcelain fitted over the front surfaces of your teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Because your teeth require minimal preparation, veneers are one of the fastest and easiest procedures in cosmetic dentistry.

A small amount of enamel is removed from your tooth to improve the bonding process, and impressions are taken of your teeth. Your veneers will be made to the exact same thickness as the amount of enamel removed and will be closely matched to the natural colour of your teeth, so the results will look entirely natural.

When your veneers are ready you will be called back to our Buckinghamshire practice for your dentist to attach them. They will check you are entirely happy with the appearance of your veneers before they are permanently attached, with the result being a beautiful, natural new smile.

Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of the profession that deals with the aesthetic appearance of your teeth, and can involve anything from teeth whitening to full-mouth restorations using crowns, bridges or dental implants. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire we offer a huge selection of cosmetic dental procedures to suit all needs and budgets.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry. Here, we look at how the treatment works and what options are available to patients at our Buckinghamshire practice.

How does whitening treatment work?

Whitening treatment uses special bleaching gel to gently remove stains from the teeth. There are two options for whitening: it can be carried out here in the comfort of our Buckinghamshire practice, or can be done at home using custom-made teeth whitening trays.

Can’t I save money by buying whitening products online?

The key thing to remember about teeth whitening treatment is that it must, by law, only be carried out under the supervision of a fully-qualified dentist. While it’s true there are whitening products available from the internet and even from some beauty salons, these are likely to be of inferior quality.

In the best case scenario they simply won’t work, and you’ll have wasted your money. In the worst case scenario they can damage your teeth and gums, leaving you in pain and in need of extensive restorative work.

The products and techniques used at our Buckinghamshire practice are tried, tested and safe. Your dentist will check there are no problems such as tooth decay that need treating before whitening, and will monitor you throughout treatment to ensure everything is going to plan.

Think about other cosmetic dentistry treatments: you wouldn’t trust an unqualified practitioner to place a crown or attach your veneers, and teeth whitening treatment is exactly the same: only a qualified dental professional should deliver it.

If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to boost your smile before a special occasion, teeth whitening could be the perfect treatment for you. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire we have successfully treated many patients who wanted whiter, brighter, stain-free teeth. It’s one of the fastest cosmetic dental procedures available.

Anyone considering teeth whitening treatment should ensure they only have the procedure carried out under the care of a qualified dentist. There are many products available on the internet and the highstreet that promise whiter teeth, but you should be cautious. Most of these products won’t work, meaning you will have wasted time and money. In the worst case scenario they can actually damage your teeth, gums and mouth. By law, teeth whitening must only be carried out by a dentist or a hygienist/hygiene therapist on a dentist’s prescription.

At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire the teeth whitening products we use have been extensively tried and tested, and are completely safe. The whitening gel used will gently remove stains from your teeth without damaging their structure.

Teeth are stained by the food and drink we consume, by habits such as smoking and by certain medications. Teeth whitening is a fast and reliable way to remove these stains. Here at our Buckinghamshire dental practice we offer two options for whitening treatment:

1 Power whitening

Power whitening is carried out here at our Buckinghamshire practice in one single session. Dr Makhani will place a protective barrier over your lips and gums and will apply teeth whitening gel to your teeth. A special light is used to activate the gel and all you need to do is sit back and relax for an hour while the gel gets to work. The result will be teeth several shades brighter – whiter teeth in just one hour really is possible!

2 Home teeth whitening

Home whitening also uses special whitening gel to lighten the colour of your teeth and remove stains, but is carried out in the comfort of your own home. Dr Makhani will take impressions of your mouth to create bespoke whitening trays. When these are ready you will be instructed on how to use them: you place a small amount of whitening gel in the trays and wear them overnight or for short periods during the day for approximately two weeks.

If you are thinking about having cosmetic dentistry, you may want results that can be seen quickly but still look entirely natural. That’s why it always pays to visit an experienced cosmetic dentist such as Dr Makhani at Garden View Dental Care in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dental treatments focus on the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Many people are embarrassed about their smile. From gappy teeth to dull or stained teeth, crooked or uneven teeth to unsightly metal fillings, there are many reasons people hide their smiles away.

At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire we believe that everyone deserves a smile to be proud of. Cosmetic dentistry comprises a range of treatments that can help anyone achieve the smile of their dreams.

How Dr Makhani and team can help

When you come in for a cosmetic dentistry consultation, we will establish what you are unhappy about regarding your teeth and gums, and will suggest the best options to improve your smile. Here are some of the fastest treatments we offer at our Buckinghamshire dental practice. . .

Teeth whitening

Teeth are easily stained by certain foods, drinks, medications and by smoking. Teeth whitening uses special whitening gel to gently remove these stains, restoring a natural bright appearance to your teeth.

We offer two options for teeth whitening: power whitening in a single appointment here at our Buckinghamshire practice, and home whitening, which takes about two weeks and involves using custom-made whitening trays and gels at home.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a popular treatment in cosmetic dentistry. They are thin pieces of porcelain placed over the front surface of your front teeth, to disguise permanent staining, small cracks, gaps and minor alignment issues.

Composite bonding

Composite bonding uses the same hard-wearing material that is used for white fillings to help reshape and rebuild teeth, for example to close small gaps and give your smile a more even appearance.

Cosmetic dentistry covers a wide range of treatments. One of the most common problems reported to our dentists at Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire is gappy teeth. Some patients described gaps between their front teeth as suffering from black triangles. The clinical term for this condition is open gingival embrasures.

Here at Garden View Dental Care, cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani offers a range of treatment options for patients who are bothered by gappy teeth.

These are some of the ways cosmetic dentistry can help you wave goodbye to black triangles for good. . .

Composite bonding

Composite bonding is a common practice in cosmetic dentistry. It involves using the same strong composite material that is used to create white fillings to build up and reshape your teeth.

At Garden View in Buckinghamshire we use the ClarkMatrix system, which uses clear forms filled with composite material that is closely matched to the natural shade of your teeth to close up any gaps. This is shaped and polished to add extra shine, giving you a smile that you can be proud of. Treatment improves the integrity of the gum and the aesthetic appearance of your smile.

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of the front teeth to disguise a wide range of aesthetic problems, including gappy teeth. They are firmly attached with strong dental adhesive.

Veneers are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry and are a minimally invasive procedure, which requires very little preparatory work on your teeth. Your dentist will choose a shade of porcelain that closely matches the colour of your teeth for an entirely natural-looking result, where your teeth appear closer together.

Six Month Smiles

We are pleased to offer Six Month Smiles adult braces at our Buckinghamshire dental practice. These discreet braces move your teeth closer together in as little as six months.
