Many of us in the UK are unhappy with our smile. With advances in modern dentistry, it's no longer just a case of filling and taking out teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry', is used as a means of improving the appearance of teeth and your smile.
Your smile is often one of the first things that other people notice about you so it’s crucial that you are happy with the first impression your smile makes, whether it’s at a job interview or on a first date.
A smile makeover involves one or more cosmetic dental procedures to improve the aesthetics of your smile. It is a very individual process as it is dependent on what you want, but a makeover could range from a simple improvement, such as the replacement of silver fillings with more discreet white ones and teeth whitening, to teeth being straightened or missing teeth replaced.
Here are some of the ways we can help improve your smile using modern cosmetic dentistry:
Crooked teeth can be straightened with Invisalign aligners.
Chipped, broken teeth can be repaired by cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, a dental bridge or a denture.
Discoloured or stained teeth can be cleaned or professionally whitened.
If you would like to know more about our smile design process please contact the Practice.
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are used to recreate the natural look of teeth, while providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel.
Veneers can be used to reshape all kinds of deformations, including:
chipped
worn-down
cracked
crooked and misaligned teeth
The ceramic which forms the veneer can be made to look like tooth enamel, which means your new smile can be tailored to your cosmetic goals.

Teeth whitening is the safest and most cost effective way of enhancing the appearance of your teeth. Teeth discolouration responds extremely well to whitening treatment, removing stains on teeth caused from:
fizzy drinks
coffee
smoking
wine
food
The non-surgical dental treatment is pain free and will leave you with beautiful teeth that are many shades whiter!
Whitening treatment lifts off stains from the enamel and works by allowing a very small amount of bleaching gel to come in to contact with the teeth. The gel then reacts with the surface of the tooth, gently removing stains.
At Marsh Lane Dental we offer both in practice and home treatments. If you are looking to enhance your smile, we can recommend the best treatments based on your lifestyle, budget and cosmetic goals.
Composite bonding is a technique where resin is colour-matched, shaped and contoured onto your teeth to give the appearance of straighter, whiter smile.
It can be used as a cosmetic solution for chipped teeth, gapped teeth and hide staining on teeth. Unlike porcelain veneers, which require a reduction in tooth structure, composite bonding can be less invasive and completed in one visit.
If you are interested in discreet teeth straightening, we offer the Invisalign Clear Aligner. The Invisalign aligner system straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. Invisalign offers many benefits that regular teeth straightening can’t.
Fillings are one of the most basic methods of restoring teeth. They do exactly what their name suggests - they fill a hole in the tooth that has been caused by decay, playing an important role in helping us to keep a tooth for many more years.
In the past fillings were always made from either gold or a silver-coloured alloy called amalgam. Both these materials are extremely durable and in some circumstances they are still the best choice available. But they both have one disadvantage – they do not match the natural white teeth in appearance.
At Marsh Lane Dental, we use the most effective, modern, tooth-coloured materials to enable you to have white fillings. Unlike the more traditional grey amalgam fillings, the tooth-coloured ones look very natural, so no-one will be able to tell you have them.
At Marsh Lane Dental we offer our patients a range of dental plans encouraging a preventive approach to your dental health needs. Our plans include regular check ups enabling us to spot any problems as soon as possible.
