Cosmetic Dentistry Explained

Cosmetic dentistry can allow you to transform how you look and how you feel about yourself in as little as one visit. With advanced treatments you can have a beautiful smile to be proud of more easily than ever before. Cosmetic dentistry can range from a whitening procedure to full veneers or anywhere in between. So, just what is available to you?
Instant Veneers
Seapoint Instant Veneers are a quick and simple procedure that gives fantastic looking results, allowing us to completely transform your smile in one day! The best part of the treatment? There's absolutely no need for needles or drilling, meaning no damage whatsoever to your own natural teeth! A member of our cosmetic dental team expertly layers the composite veneers around your teeth to your desired shape, shade and contour. You will leave the clinic straight away with a beautiful smile, not numb; ready to enjoy your new smile!
Porcelain Veneers
Our veneers are made using a very thin layer of tooth-coloured porcelain bonded over your own natural tooth to improve its aesthetics or to protect its damaged surface. They are usually used if you are looking to make significant changes to the colour, shape or position of your teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign involves wearing a set of customized clear aligners. They allow you to brush as normal and to eat whatever you want during treatment. The average treatment time for this is about a year but can be faster where fewer movements are needed. It also works great for people who have previously worn braces as children and had some orthodontic relapse where the teeth drift back. With these clear aligners you can move the teeth back without anyone knowing.
Six Month Braces
Six Month Braces are the most popular braces at the Seapoint Clinic and we have more experience of this amazing treatment than any other dental practice. These braces usually involve treating the front teeth only and the goal is to give the patient a great natural looking smile. As we do not try to change the bite to any significant degree and the results we aim for are cosmetic only. If your goal is to change your bite or move a lot of the back teeth you may still need to get conventional braces which may take longer.
