We improve your smile to measure, respecting your oral health and natural look.
Cosmetic dentistry aims to make your smile look the way you would like without losing sight of the health of your mouth. Before any cosmetic treatment, the dentist checks that the teeth and gums are healthy, because decay or inflamed gums need treating first.
Every smile is different. The colour, size and shape of the teeth, the gum line and the lips all affect the result, so treatment is planned for each person. Sometimes whitening is enough; at other times several techniques are combined. The dentist will explain the options, what can be achieved in your case and the care each one needs.
Expectations matter. Cosmetic treatment can improve the look of a smile, but the result depends on each person's starting point. That is why it is worth talking it through calmly at the appointment and answering any questions before starting.
To study how each case could look, the clinic's intraoral scanner provides a digital model of your teeth to work on before starting.
Good habits help keep the results: daily hygiene, check-ups and moderation with smoking and with drinks that stain, such as coffee, tea or red wine. In «Your visit» you will find the recommended aftercare following teeth whitening.
Treatments included
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening lightens the colour of the teeth with a specific product applied under the dentist's supervision. It works on common stains and colour changes, but it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. Beforehand, the dentist checks the mouth to make sure it is suitable. Sensitivity may appear during and after treatment, and it is usually temporary. Results vary from person to person and depend on habits.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells bonded to the visible surface of the teeth to improve their colour, shape or small irregularities. They can help with teeth that have stains that do not respond to whitening, are worn or have small gaps between them. The dentist assesses whether your teeth are suitable for them and explains what preparation each case needs and the care they require afterwards.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are made with a tooth-coloured resin that the dentist shapes directly on the tooth. They usually allow small defects in shape or colour to be corrected with little preparation of the tooth. Over time they may need polishing or touch-ups, because the resin can change colour or wear. The dentist will explain whether they are a good option in your case compared with other alternatives.
Zirconia crowns
Zirconia crowns completely cover a tooth that is badly damaged or whose appearance cannot be corrected in another way. Zirconia is a strong material with a colour similar to a natural tooth, so it is used on both front teeth and molars. Before it is cemented, the tooth is shaped to make room for it. The crown is cared for like a natural tooth, with brushing and cleaning between the teeth.
Smile design
Smile design means studying the smile as a whole before starting: the teeth, gums, lips and face. This study is used to plan which treatments to combine and how the result could look. It helps you make decisions with more information and makes sure the plan reflects what you are hoping for. The dentist will show you the options and what is realistic in your case.

Frequently asked questions
Does whitening damage the teeth?
Done under the dentist's supervision and after checking the mouth, it should not damage them. Temporary sensitivity during treatment or in the following days is common.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the visible surface of the tooth; crowns cover it completely and are used when the tooth is more damaged. The dentist will explain which suits your case.
Does whitening change the colour of fillings?
No. Whitening works on natural teeth, not on fillings, crowns or veneers. If you have them in visible areas, it is worth bearing in mind when planning.
