What is cosmetic dentistry?

Unlike general dentistry, cosmetic services are geared towards improving the appearance of your teeth, rather than just patching them up. Think of it like a makeover for your teeth.

Although the primary goal is to improve the appearance of your smile, many cosmetic dental treatments also improve the overall health and durability of your teeth.

Cosmetic dentist Cornwall can be as simple as replacing one filling on a front tooth or something more complex, like reconstructing your whole smile.

The main cosmetic procedures we offer at Revitalise include:

  1. Home Bleaching (tooth whitening) – using the revolutionary Zoom whitening kits, we can help restore patients’ discoloured teeth back to their pearly white colour in as little as six weeks!
  2. Direct Resin Bonding – the ideal treatment for patients with misshapen teeth. Our dentists will use tooth-coloured composite resin to reshape or restore chipped or cracked teeth.
  3. Veneers – used to address a variety of physical and aesthetic dental problems, thin pieces of tooth-coloured porcelain are placed over your natural teeth to help you get your smile confidence back.
  4. Crowns – Placing a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ over your natural tooth, we’re able to improve the function and appearance of chipped or cracked teeth.

    Home Bleaching

    This is a great solution for people who have otherwise healthy teeth, but would prefer them to be whiter.
    Discolouration of the teeth is extremely common: in many cases this does not indicate a serious problem; however, heavily stained and yellow teeth can make people feel self-conscious, often stopping them from smiling and socialising. Fortunately, tooth whitening is by far the simplest and most straight-forward cosmetic procedure.

    Non-invasive procedure
    Tooth whitening is completely drill-free: there is no need to adjust the teeth in any way. The teeth are discoloured by “chromophore” molecules: chromophores are chemicals within foods (eg Tea, coffee, red wine) which discolour teeth. Whitening uses an active whitening ingredient: a peroxide gel (which breaks down to oxygen and water) that safely penetrates the enamel to reach and break down the chromophore molecules which toothpaste cannot reach. Dissolving the chromophore molecules whitens the teeth.

    What is the process of teeth whitening?

    Your treatment at Revitalise will require 3 short sessions.

    SESSION 1
    Before we begin the tooth whitening process we will first assess your teeth to ensure there are no underlying dental problems that might affect the success of the treatment: whitening is not advisable if cavities or active gum disease is present; we carry out a full dental assessment prior to whitening.

    Once we have determined teeth whitening is possible and safe we will give your teeth a deep clean to remove any build-up or debris before we proceed with the whitening.
    Impressions (“Moulds”) of your teeth are then taken so that we can make a custom whitening tray which is individually fitted to you.

    SESSION 2
    You will be provided with your custom trays and the whitening gel to bleach your teeth and some instructions.
    For most people whitening requires daily wearing of the trays for around 2 hours (some people wear them whilst asleep for convenience purposes) for a 2-6 week period. It is important to wear the trays daily for the prescribed period.

    SESSION 3
    The dentist will review you to ensure you are entirely happy with the outcome

    Direct Resin Bonding

    Direct resin bonding involves in application of Dental Composite Resin (a special type of tooth coloured plastic) to the teeth. This is used to repair decayed, damaged or discoloured teeth or to improve the shape, which are perhaps too small, short or close gaps between teeth. Often we just add to the teeth and no drilling or injections are required. It is useful for minor-moderate corrections of dental aesthetic problems.

    At Revitalise Dental we have special expertise in bonding: Dr Smithson pioneered this technique in the UK over 20 years ago and teaches this topic Internationally.

    What is Involved?
    At your initial consultation, the dentist will assess your general dental health to ensure that the gums and nerves inside the teeth are healthy.

    For many cases, models of the teeth are taken using our digital scanner; we then carry out a computer mock-up of the anticipated final result so you can see the likely outcome prior to committing to treatment. We then use cutting edge 3D printing to print a life-size plastic model of your teeth: a custom-made plastic mould is then made which allows us to accurately transfer the shape of the computer designed teeth to your mouth. The resin is set with a specialised ultra-violet light and precision polished so that it is indistinguishable from natural teeth.

    At a second appointment, the dentist will artistically bond composite resin to your teeth to emulate our agreed design. Often only one appointment is required.

    Veneers

    If you are unhappy with the shape, size, and colour of your teeth, veneers can provide a solution with only minimal drilling of the teeth. Made from a strong ceramic glass, veneers are used to replace or improve tooth structure and enhance the appearance of your teeth, usually the front ones. They are a good solution for more extensive cosmetic problems which are too large for direct bonding.

    Natural look

    Will my veneers look “fake”?
    Veneers are designed to cover the front of the teeth rather than replace the entire tooth: they are very similar in concept to false fingernails in so much as they are glued directly onto the front of the tooth. At Revitalise Dental we use ELab digital camera technology to closely match the shade of your natural teeth to your veneer, meaning that the result will be extremely realistic and indistinguishable from nature. Of course, if your aim is to have ultra-white “Hollywood” style teeth, we can easily achieve this too.

    Strong and resilient

    Veneers that are made from a ceramic are built to last a long time: with the correct care, you can expect a life expectancy of up to 15 years before replacement. Here at Revitalise, we want your restorative treatment to provide a smile you can share with the World for many years to come.

    Get your new smile quickly

    Ceramic veneers can take a little longer to create than other types of veneers due to the planning, design and preparation involved. However, we are unique in Cornwall having a dedicated onsite laboratory and team of professionals, who can deliver your new smile at a faster rate; often start to finish within a week.

    What is the process of veneers?

    On the day of the procedure, we remove a small amount of the surface enamel where the veneer will be placed: this is around 0.5mm at most; not only does this make room for the veneer but it also ensures your bite remains normal.
    We then take an impression of your teeth either with a mould or digitally with our scanner.

    The veneers are then custom made in the dental laboratory.

    The process of placing the veneer is straightforward: we will first clean, polish and roughen the tooth surface, then apply a special adhesive to the tooth and carefully place the veneer. Using a high-intensity ultra-violet light we will link the veneer to the tooth: this process is known as “bonding”. Finally, we will assess your bite, polish the veneers to a mirror shine and make sure you are happy with the way your veneers look.

    When would veneers be used?

    • Repair a broken or chipped tooth
    • Change the shape of a tooth – Sometimes a single tooth or even multiple ones can look different from the rest found in a person’s mouth. It’s not uncommon to have misshapen or small lateral incisors.
    • Improve tooth structure – Veneers make it possible to give the illusion of straight teeth as well as improving alignment and closing gaps.
    • Change the colour of the teeth – Discolouration of the teeth can be masked with a ceramic veneer.

    Crowns

    When you have a tooth that is extensively damaged and a traditional filling or veneer will not work, crowns are an extremely effective treatment option. Made with a ceramic material or gold, we will create a ‘cap’ which fits over the natural tooth with an end goal of restoring the teeth to correct shape and appearance, whilst improving strength and longevity.

    A crown will strengthen a broken tooth and restore it to normal function. With the correct care and maintaining a good standard of oral hygiene, a crown can last up to 15 years before it needs replacing.

    The process of preparing crown

    The placing of a crown is a routine procedure that can be achieved in one to two sessions: depending on the clinical situation, additional stages might need to take place before treatment can begin (For example root canal treatment or gum therapy).

    For a crown to be fitted securely we need to remove around 1mm from the outer surface of the tooth (often this has already been lost and is the reason for placing the crown): this is done under local anaesthesia to ensure you don’t experience any pain. From here we will make a mould of your teeth and one of our technicians will prepare the crown to rebuild the tooth and replace all missing structure: our team is extremely skilled in matching the crown to the colour of your natural teeth so it will completely blend in.

    Once the crown has been prepared we place it on your tooth using a strong adhesive so it remains securely in place; prior to this we make any final adjustments to ensure the crown is comfortable and correctly positioned.

    Revitalise procedures and treatments are bespoke and tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is teeth whitening safe?

    Yes. Teeth whitening will not cause any damage to your teeth, gums or any other part of your body when performed by a trained professional. At Revitalise, customer safety is our top priority and we take every measure possible to ensure your time with us is as comfortable as possible.

    How long does teeth whitening last?

    Lifestyle choices can greatly affect how long the treatment will last but in most cases, you won’t need to see us again for up to a year. Smokers or heavy tea and coffee drinkers may require more frequent “Top Up” Bleaching. Top Up bleaching is used to maintain the bright white smile, we usually recommend bleaching for 3-4 days once a year.

    What are the differences between professional whitening at a dental centre and DIY kits?

    Teeth whitening makes use of a chemical called hydrogen peroxide, which in large amounts can be dangerous unless used by a professional. For this reason, DIY home kits use low levels of hydrogen peroxide resulting in a far less effective treatment option. You should be aware that tooth whitening carried out by a non-dentist is ILLEGAL in the UK.

    How much does teeth whitening cost?

    Our treatment starts at £500

    How long will it be until I can eat and drink normally after a Direct Resin Bonding Treatment?

    This simple procedure is finished the moment the resin is set by the UV Light and you will be able to eat and drink normally immediately afterwards.

    Do I need any aftercare after Direct Resin Bonding treatment??

    As with natural teeth it is best to avoid excessive consumption of foodstuffs which may stain the teeth (for example but not limited to Tea, Coffee, Cigarette Smoking); in addition, you should avoid using your teeth as tools (Biting tape or threads or opening bottles) since this may chip the resin.
    On the whole, composite resin is designed to be as durable as natural teeth and doesn’t require specific maintenance: the lifespan is 8-15 years depending on your lifestyle/habits, after this they can be replaced with identical bonding.

    How much does bonding cost?

    Single teeth begin from as little as £400, more extensive work involving all of the visible teeth at the front of the mouth is usually in the range of £2000-4000 including computer generated previews

    Is it true veneers are stainless?

    Unlike natural teeth, veneers are not porous meaning colouring from foods will not stain veneers the way they would the natural teeth

    Will a veneer match the colour of my natural teeth?

    Yes, we will closely match the shade of your veneer to your natural teeth. Our cosmetic team has vast experience in this area and will ensure your new smile looks natural as well as beautiful.

    How long do veneers last?

    Assuming the teeth and veneers are cared for correctly (regular dental and hygienist visits), you can expect them to last up to 15 years. Keep in mind, just like your natural teeth, although strong they can be damaged. You will need to care for your veneers the same way to do your adult teeth.

    How much do veneers cost?

    A single veneer will cost between £800 – £1200

    Does a crown hurt

    No. We will use a local anaesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any pain during the procedure. In some cases when the tooth does not have a nerve, the anaesthetic might not be needed.

    How long will a crown last?

    A crown can last up to 15 years providing it is well looked after. To avoid further decay of the tooth it is important to continue cleaning your teeth as normal paying close attention to the crown to avoid potential build-up of plaque.

    Will a crown prevent my teeth from decay or gum disease?

    Although your crown is not at risk of decay, your teeth still are; neglecting to clean around the gums can still result in gum disease

    What will my crown be made of?

    At Revitalise we offer crowns using a ceramic or gold material.: gold is the most durable material whilst ceramic can be made indistinguishable from natural teeth.

    How much does a crown cost?

    The cost of a ceramic crown is £800-1200, due to metal costs gold is slightly more expensive.

    “There’s always smiling, handshakes, hugs and plenty of tea and coffee. They looked after my husband who was there for the day. They do the sedation and Hayley looked after me. Obviously I was unaware of exactly what they were doing, but they always make you feel so comfortable. Although you’re nervous, I don’t think I could’ve gone and got the same treatment anywhere else.”
