Whiten, align, and only then add porcelain

In that order, and never further than needed. Most people who come in asking for veneers leave with whitening and aligners — and are happier for it.

    The clinical rule we hold to is that appearance work must not weaken the tooth underneath.

    • Consult first
    • Digital mock-up
    • Written quote
  • Porcelain fillings

    Inlays and onlays, digitally designed and milled, for teeth too broken down to hold a direct composite but not damaged enough to need a crown.

    • Digitally milled
    • Metal-free
    • Conserves tooth
  • Digital Smile Design

    The smile is designed on screen before anything is done to a tooth — from an intraoral scan, photographs of your face, and the way your lip actually moves when you speak.

    You see the proposed result, and change it, while changing it is free.

    • Nothing irreversible

    Metal-free porcelain, designed on screen and milled to fit.

    • Shade matched
    • Digitally designed

The least irreversible option that gets you there

  1. 01

    Clean and whiten

    A professional clean first, then whitening.

    Read more about Clean and whiten

    Colour is the first thing anyone notices, and often it is the only thing that needed changing.

  2. 02

    Digital Smile Design

    Your scan, your photographs and your face, used to draw the finished smile on screen before a tooth is touched.

    Read more about Digital Smile Design

    You approve the plan — or ask for the edges softer — while it costs nothing to change.

  3. 03

    Align

    Moving your own teeth into place beats grinding them down to fake the position.

  4. 04

    Reshape

    Composite bonding and edge recontouring — additive, reversible, done in one visit.

  5. 05

    Porcelain

    Veneers and crowns last, but they are permanent.

    We go here only when the first four cannot get there.
