Cosmetic Dentistry

Whether you wish to brighten your smile for an upcoming event or are looking to whiten your teeth in general, Knight Street Dentists offer a variety of effective cosmetic dentistry treatments.  

Our custom professional at-home teeth whitening approach has been shown to achieve amazing results with minimal discomfort. It’s important to know that teeth whitening isn’t for everyone; it’s best suited for people with healthy, unrestored teeth and gums. 

Our dentists will take you through each option and help you decide which is best for you. We’ll also give you a home-care plan to help prevent the build-up of stains from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. 

If you have discoloured, chipped, broken, or worn teeth, or are unhappy with their size, shape, or length, veneers may be the perfect solution for you.  

Wafer-thin, veneers are carefully crafted, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. Permanently bonded in place with a minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure, veneers are designed to create an enhanced version of your natural teeth. 

Veneers are a multi-phase, pain-free process. The steps include: 

• A visit to our practice, where our caring dentists will examine your teeth and talk to you about your veneer options 
• We’ll take X–rays, moulds, and photographs of your teeth 
• Our team will prepare and fit temporary veneers, allowing you to trial your new look 
• We’ll take more moulds and organise for your permanent veneers (made from porcelain or resin composite) to be made 
• Once your permanent veneers are ready, we’ll organise for you to come back in and we’ll gently fit them for you. 

A more cost-effective aesthetic dentistry alternative to porcelain veneers, dental bonding involves a composite resin material being directly bonded to your tooth to hide minor imperfections, close small gaps, and change the shape of your teeth. 

A relatively simpler cosmetic dentistry procedure than veneers, dental bonding can be completed in one appointment and typically doesn’t require any happy gas or anaesthesia.
