Ever dreamt of a perfect smile? Or do you just have one or two discoloured fillings or rotated teeth which really distract from your otherwise healthy smile.

Whether it’s a full smile makeover or a simple filling replacement with the latest cosmetic restoration materials available Salcombe Dental Practice can provide the best care for you.

It is no longer the case that cosmetic dentistry is a term for the rich and famous - it really is for you and I! Affordable and truly achievable, you will find that your smile can boost your confidence and really change your life.

Every smile is different and therefore when looking for that perfect smile, an individual treatment plan is devised. There are a number of different procedures available that can be used to achieve the desired results and depending on your existing smile and the change you want to achieve, your dentist may use one or a number of procedures.

  •  Whitening
  •  Veneers
  •  Crown and Bridge
  •  Implants
  •  Orthodontics
  •  White Fillings

Your treatment could include one or a number of the above procedures, depending on your current dental health and the ultimate results you want to see.

If you are seriously considering cosmetic dentistry as a permanent solution for your smile, the next step is to make an appointment with your dentist at Salcombe Dental Practice. We will assess your dental health and discuss your expected outcome with you. It is important for us to fully understand what you don’t currently like about your smile in order that we can suggest options to change it.

We then put together a comprehensive, individual treatment plan that addresses your desires and outlines the best possible solution. When looking at cosmetic dentistry, not only do we want your smile to look fantastic but we are also concerned with your overall dental health. Whilst looking great, it also needs to function well and last a lifetime.

This is where Kathryn Dunning’s expert knowledge of bite assessment is paramount. Kathryn has undertaken 196 additional hours of study and practical courses in the last 2 years and now receives referrals from Dentists across Devon (most recently from Barnstaple).

The assessment process is essential to ensure that your smile transformation functions well and does not cause other problems such as headaches, neck pain, shoulder stiffness or tooth mobility.

WHITENING - A simple procedure that can create brighter, whiter teeth and give your smile an instant lift, whitening is a great way to introduce yourself to cosmetic dentistry. Using a take home custom made tray for your teeth to apply the whitening gel.

CROWN & BRIDGE - Replacing one or several teeth is easy with crowns and bridges. A crown acts as a natural tooth and is a permanent solution to bring back that full smile. If you have more than one tooth missing, a bridge is used to allow several teeth to be replaced at any one time.

VENEERS - A thin porcelain shell like material, a veneer is used as a simple way to create a beautiful smile. Permanently fixed to your own teeth, a veneer looks and acts like it has always been part of your mouth. Providing you with a straighter and healthier looking smile, veneers can be used on all your anterior teeth to improve your smile.
