Cosmetic Dentistry in Hampstead
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth come to RP Dental for cosmetic dentistry treatments in Hampstead there are numerous ways in which our Hampstead dentists can improve them. For example, we can apply veneers to reduce or close gaps between teeth. This is a simple procedure that involves a thin layer of porcelain being bonded to the front surface of the tooth.
Crowning
Another procedure is 'crowning' which can be used to improve a tooth's aesthetic appearance.
The natural tooth is contoured slightly so that the crown can fit snugly on top. All our crowns are crafted by highly skilled technicians and are therefore the same colour and shape as your existing teeth.
Missing Teeth
If you have a missing tooth or teeth, our dentists can give you a bridge, where a 'false' tooth is supported on either side by your existing teeth.
Alternatively, an implant can be placed (see implant section). We believe that everyone should be able to smile confidently and we have a team of experts who will work with you to ensure you have plenty to smile about.
Tooth Coloured Fillings
A tooth that has become decayed will generally need to be filled, once the decay has been removed, to prevent further damage.
At the practice we use white ('composite') fillings in most instances to fill a previously decayed tooth. We can also remove any unsightly silver ('amalgam') fillings that are visible and replace them with a composite. A white filling can also be used in some circumstances to repair chipped teeth. Our team of dentists in Hampstead will be happy to advise on the suitability of such cosmetic dentistry treatments.
Cerec Restorations
Our Hampstead dentist uses a state of the art piece of equipment called the Cerec Cadcam which allows us to place metal-free, biocompatible, tooth-coloured restorations in one visit without the need for impressions to be taken or temporary materials fitted.
In essence the Cerec machine, allows all restorative work, from simple inlays to posterior crowns, to be designed, manufactured and fitted whilst you are in the chair.
