Cosmetic Dentistry
Traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth, and smile.
Cosmetic dentistry can provide an answer for anyone looking to improve their smile, their self-confidence, and their prospects for romantic and career success.
I had a complete smile makeover at Bachelors Walk Dental Surgery, the results are fantastic. As a patient I look forward to receiving the highest standard of advice and care at every appointment. And I STILL get a thrill from my new smile!

Dental whitening is our most widely used cosmetic dental solution. For those happy with the shape and alignment of their teeth this is a simple and cost effective way to whiten and brighten your smile. Dental whitening would often be the first step in a dental makeover. Only a dentist can get your teeth their whitest. He can choose the whitening system that suits your teeth your smile and your lifestyle best.
Porcelain Dental veneers are way to improve the shape, size, colour and alignment of teeth. They involve minimal removal of dental enamel and used in the right situations can last many years. Veneers can be used where teeth have been worn by acid erosion or where the colour change needed is more than can be achieved by whitening alone, Plastic or Composite veneers (bonding) is a cheaper way of achieving a similar result but often looses it's lustre after only a couple of years.
Cosmetic crowns are another way to improve how teeth look. They are used when more tooth is missing or bigger adjustments are required. Modern dental ceramics can replicate the natural dental enamel, teeth that are badly worn by grinding or by repeated fillings can look natural and youthful again. At bachelors walk dental practice we are committed to using high quality dental laboratories and technicians, we work closely with these highly trained professionals to enable us to plan and deliver the cosmetic result you are after.
The first step on the path to a new smile is to co-discover what it is you wish for in your dental makeover. Unlike the makeover shows, the first time you look in the mirror with your crowns in will not be the first time you see your new smile. Before we carry out any treatment we will work with models and photos of your own teeth and plan the end result, then we will do trials on your own teeth.We will discuss with you in detail how we can produce the nicest result and what this will do for the health of your mouth. You will made made fully aware of the potential problems and negatives of any of the forms of treatment before we begin.
When and only when you are happy will we prepare your teeth for the crowns and veneers.

Six Month Smiles
Six month smiles is a new rapid tooth alignment cosmetic brace for adults,
it uses see-through brackets on the teeth and tooth coloured wires. Top and bottom teeth can be aligned in 4-9 months.
The Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is a fantastic, simple and hassle-free way of straightening your upper and lower front teeth. It is the orthodontic treatment of choice for adult relapse.
In the past anyone with crooked teeth have had only a few choices. Fixed braces and clear braces work well but are slow and can also be costly.
However the Dental Aligner now gives us all a very real alternative. Because it works so quickly and efficiently, if you don't like the idea of having brackets stuck to your teeth or waiting months and months for a clear brace to work, you can now have your front teeth straightened in as little as 6 -16 weeks.
This also means that anyone considering veneers to align their teeth now has a far more conservative solution. You might not even need veneers at all.
The Dental Aligner is not just an orthodontic appliance. Many cosmetic dentists are calling it the "missing link between orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry".
It has also been described as the "Greatest Innovation in Cosmetic Dentistry since the porcelain veneer".
