St John’s Wood cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry covers a vast spectrum of treatments, and the first thing your St John’s Wood dentist will do is to establish what your personal aspirations for your smile are. This will include a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, along with spending the time finding out what you want to achieve from treatment.

Every patient at our St John’s Wood clinic will be provided with a clear and fully-customised treatment plan, so that you know exactly what to expect, how long and in which order any procedures will be carried out.

Among our popular cosmetic dentistry options are:

Crowns

Crowns are caps made from materials such as metal or porcelain, placed over the top of a worn, damaged, or root treated tooth to improve both its strength and appearance. Tooth-coloured crowns look just like natural teeth.

Health benefit: Your natural tooth is restored and protected from further damage.

Tooth straightening

A popular request in cosmetic dentistry, tooth straightening can involve a fixed brace or a removable aligner.

Health benefit: Straighter teeth are easier to keep clean, with fewer tricky spaces for plaque to build up, thus making good hygiene much easier.

Cosmetic dentures

Modern dentures are carefully crafted to look and act like the real thing. For additional stability, they can be combined with dental implants to hold them firmly in place.

Health benefit: Secure dentures enable you to eat a healthy diet and enjoy an active social life.
