    Can I have invisible braces if I am 17 years old?

    I'm afraid you will need to wait until you are 18 years old before we can consult you for invisible braces.

    What is the average price for your NuSmile veneers?

    Each and every case is different so it is very difficult to give an average price for our dental veneers. We charge £495 per veneer (upper) and £395 per veneer (lower). At the very start of your treatment your cosmetic dentist will set out a treatment plan and will tell you exactly what treatment you require and the costs involved.

    Can Nusmile be fitted over tradional veneers?

    We can fit NuSmile veneers over traditional veneers, however we would advise you to some for a cosultation with one of our cosmetic dentists for their opinion on what the final result will look like and what we can do to achieve your desired look.

    How old do I have to be to have teeth whitening?

    Up to a week after having a teeth whitening treatment you should avoid in particular coffee, red wine, beetroot and curry - any food or drink which has a high stain risk.

    How old do you have to be to have your dental veneers?

    As with all of our surgical procedures all patients have to be 18 years old and over. If you are under the age of 18 and would like dental treatment you could see an orthodontist who will help you achieve what you are looking for.

    I have terrible teeth and am embarrassed to smile. I have gaps, staining, uneven teeth - the lot! Is there any hope for me?

    I have terrible teeth and am embarrassed to smile. I have gaps, staining, uneven teeth - the lot! Is there any hope for me?

    Yes!  Many of our cosmetic dentistry patients have serious problems which need to be fixed.  If you have gaps in your teeth, these can be filled with crowns to match your other teeth.  White fillings can be used where necessary and are invisible once in place.  Uneven teeth can be gently and effectively straightened by invisible braces which literally can't be seen in use.  Veneers can also hide irregularities and you may complete your treatment with whitening. 

     

    The options are endless and your requirements will be very individual, so our expert cosmetic Patient Care Coordinators will work with our Cosmetic Dentists to put together your personal treatment plan. 

     

    To find out what's right for you and how much it will cost, you should book a cosmetic dentistry consultation.  It's only £25 at the moment (normal price £149) and the price includes:

    • Dental Exam

    • X-Ray available if required

    • Smile Consultation Examination

    • Impressions

    • Examination by Cosmetic Dentist

    I've always wanted to have straigher teeth but don't want metal braces on my teeth - how do your clear braces work?

    I've always wanted to have straigher teeth but don't want metal braces on my teeth - how do your clear braces work?

    Clear braces work in a similar sort of way to metal brackets, they apply pressure to the teeth where required in order to give you the alignment you've always wanted. You also have none of the irritation of normal metal braces as these are metal and wire free. You can also remove them to give your teeth a good clean twice daily.

    My teeth are stained through smoking and drinking too much coffee, is your teeth whitening safe?

    Our teeth whitening treatment is safe, we do not jeopardise the tooth's enamel like some whitening treatments. We offer both chairside teeth whitening carried out by a cosmetic dentist or home teeth whitening kits.
