What is cosmetic dentistry?

Did you know that one in four of us in the UK are unhappy with our smile? With advances in modern dentistry, it’s no longer just a case of filling and taking out teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry', is used as a means of improving the appearance of teeth. Many people often turn to cosmetic dentistry in a similar way to how they might use cosmetic surgery, or even a new hairstyle. Used to straighten, reshape, lighten and repair teeth, cosmetic dentistry should always aim to produce natural-looking results for patients.

If you're struggling to find a cosmetic dental practice that provides high quality, pain-free, affordable and quick treatments, then Higher Lane Dental Practice can provide the solution. Our wide range of effective cosmetic treatments can help you with your discoloured, worn, chipped or crooked teeth. Our cosmetic dental treatments include veneers, crowns, implants, bridges, teeth whitening and tooth-coloured fillings.

A perfect smile could help land you that new job, or make the right impression when it counts. One of the first things people notice about you is your smile. That's why at Higher Lane Dental Practice, we understand how important it is to smile with confidence. 

As one of the leading cosmetic dental clinics in Cheshire, we are proud to be able to offer our patients the brighter, whiter, more beautiful smile they deserve.

Smile makeovers

Want a complete smile transformation? Typically consisting of a blend of different dental treatments and techniques, the goal of a smile makeover is to dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. 

Following a discussion and thorough examination, we'll create you a bespoke treatment plan that's tailored to your unique needs.

We can offer a comprehensive range of smile enhancing treatments: your dentist may recommend regular dental hygiene services; the placement of natural-looking porcelain veneers; teeth whitening or teeth straightening with Invisalign.

Teeth Whitening

A simple and effective way to lighten your teeth, teeth whitening treatment will give your smile a renewed sparkle and will improve your self-confidence. Tooth colour is a very individual thing: it can darken as we get older and is affected by staining substances such as coffee, tea, fizzy drinks and smoking. Whitening lifts off these stains from the enamel and works by allowing a very small amount of bleaching gel to come in to contact with the teeth. The gel then reacts with the surface of the tooth, gently removing stains and creating a beautiful, pearly white smile to be proud of.

Dental Veneers

Is your smile discoloured? Do you have some cracked or chipped teeth? Dental veneers are wafer thin yet strong and durable porcelain laminates. Mimicking the appearance of natural teeth, the overall cosmetic results can be life-changing. Dental veneers are shaped to perfectly mask and disguise imperfections such as staining and misalignments of your natural teeth.

The minimally invasive procedure is used to restore tooth surface and colour, and you can have any number of veneers - from just one to hide a single discoloured tooth to a whole set.

Higher Lane Dental Practice would normally recommend orthodontic treatment as the ideal treatment for crooked teeth. However, if you don't like the idea of wearing a brace, then veneers may be the best alternative for you.
