Our Range of Treatments
You don’t have to go to Harley Street. We offer the full range of treatments which you expect to find in a leading Aesthetic Dentistry or Cosmetic Dentistry Practice, right here in Swindon. These treatments include white fillings, tooth lightening, veneers, crowns, bridges, and implants.

What is the difference between cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic dentistry?
You will see us referring to cosmetic dentistry and also to aesthetic dentistry. These are two subtly different approaches to the appearance. The essence is with cosmetic dentistry we try to make the teeth look perfect; straight, white, even and blemish free. This is what many people call the ‘Hollywood Smile’.
With aesthetic dentistry we aim to create a beautiful smile that still retains many of the elements which make it look natural, slight irregularities, the teeth being slightly crooked, and fresh whiteness.
Is either approach right or wrong…? We think that different approaches suit different people and so we spend time making sure we understand which approach is suitable for each patient.

What can we do to give you a smile on your face?
Before we start any treatment we need to know where we are going. We do this in several ways

Cosmetic Dentistry and Aesthetic Dentistry Imaging.
We can take a photograph of your current smile, e-mail it to the specialist cosmetic dentistry imaging company in the United States who produce what is in effect a digital artist’s impression of how the teeth could look. This virtual cosmetic dentistry is then e-mailed back to us in Swindon, and we can discuss how we can achieve the results.

Three dimensional mock-up
We also use our technician here in Swindon to help us visualise either the cosmetic dentistry or aesthetic dentistry results we wish for. To do this we make a model of your teeth, and then add wax to see what is possible.

Trial Smiles
In some situations, especially where we are building up broken down teeth, or closing gaps, we can actually try in the proposed changes. This helps you to see exactly what benefits you could gain from cosmetic or aesthetic dentistry.
