[London, 14 October 2017] - Cosmetic dentistry has gained in popularity in recent years, with more people every day taking the plunge and visiting a cosmetic dentist. Cosmetic treatments are more widely available to a wider range of clients.

At Harley Street Dental Clinic, cosmetic dentistry is a blend of art and science and a cosmetic dentist will help patients to create a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile. Whether patients wish to whiten, fill or straighten their teeth, a cosmetic dentist at Harley Street Dental Clinic will suggest a wide range of treatments which can be customised to fit their individual needs.

Teeth whitening

Teeth can be stained by many factors and while most of them are preventable, teeth whitening can be a good solution. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, teeth whitening is carried out by a cosmetic dentist. It is a safe and effective procedure that can lighten the colour of the teeth by several shades. Two types of teeth whitening are offered by a cosmetic dentist at Harley Street Dental Clinic – power whitening and home whitening. The former can be performed directly by a cosmetic dentist at Harley Street Dental Clinic in less than an hour, whereas the latter requires the use of customised bleaching trays at home. Both treatments are supervised by a cosmetic dentist. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, patients can also take advantage of a combination of both treatments.

Dental veneers

At Harley Street Dental Clinic, dental veneers can be made of porcelain or composite material. Both types of veneers are thin shells which are attached directly to the surfaces of the teeth by a cosmetic dentist to cover chips, cracks stains or other imperfections. Veneers at Harley Street Dental Clinic are of high-quality and they are made to colour-match the natural teeth.

Gum lift

Some people have great teeth but the aesthetic appeal of their smile is ruined by the presence of excess gum tissue around their teeth. Gummy smiles are quite common and they can be corrected with a gum lift performed by a cosmetic dentist. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, gummy smiles can either be corrected by a laser gum lift procedure or by removing the bone and gum through dental surgery.
