Cosmetic Dentistry & Tooth Whitening

Cosmetic dentistry can be used when there are occasions when teeth or fillings are discoloured or misshapen. Natural teeth come in different shades. Some patients wish to improve their smile by whitening their teeth to a more pleasing lighter shade. Tooth whitening of discoloured teeth can be achieved with the use of various bleaching techniques. Tooth whitening works on natural enamel and dentine only, so if there are pre-existing fillings on the teeth, they may need to be replaced to match the new whiter shade.
