A cosmetic dentist is a clinician who focuses on the aesthetic appearance of a patient’s smile. At Harley Street Dental Clinic we have an experienced team of dental professionals offering cosmetic dental treatments to suit all patients’ needs.
Often, patients will come to see us at our Harley Street clinic unhappy about the appearance of their smile, but unsure exactly what treatment they need to improve it. In this case, we recommend a smile makeover. This is a consultation with a skilled cosmetic dentist, who will assess your current smile, will listen to your concerns and what you would like to change, and will then recommend the best way to achieve the smile of your dreams.
Here’s how it works:
1. Smile Assessment. You’ll come into our Harley Street practice for a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist. He or she will review the shape, colour, size and position of your teeth and will find out what you want to achieve. They will also check there are no dental health problems that need treating before your cosmetic work begins, and will take into account such factors as hair colour and the shape of your face before recommending treatment.
2. Treatment Recommendations. Your cosmetic dentist will recommend treatments and will use 3D-computer-aided smile design to show you what results you can expect from various treatments. Depending on your needs you may require just one treatment – veneers, for example – or a combination of two or more – orthodontics plus teeth whitening, perhaps. Once you have decided on treatment – with your dentist’s help – a treatment plan will be drawn up.
3. Appointment Setting. At Harley Street Dental Clinic we work hard to set appointment times that are convenient for you. Your cosmetic dentist will draw up an appointment schedule. The length of treatment will vary from patient to patient, depending on which treatment(s) you are having.
