This 13 year old boy had suffered a bump and lost a small piece of enamel from the distal aspect of his upper right central incisor. This was restored with composite bonding to provide protection to this broken part and idealise the aesthetics.
Before Treatment
After Treatment
This 49 year old man was unhappy with the misalignment of his upper front incisors which created wonky inverted edges and looked too short. He was not prepared to undergo Orthodontic treatment to align them, so we added composite bonding to the edges increasing the length of these teeth and improving their shape.
Before Treatment
After Treatment
This 26 year old lady was suffering from severe wear of the edges of her upper front teeth as a result of night time grinding in a forward and backwards direction. She was unhappy with the shortness/flatness of these teeth making her smile much older than her age.
She was treated with very conservative composite plastic bondings to lengthen and shape the edges of the upper front 6 teeth to their ideal age/sex appropriate size/contour.
Before Treatment
After Treatment
This 20 year old male university student was accidentally hit in the mouth by a racquet while playing squash. His teeth were very sensitive due to exposed nerves and also quite unsightly. Amazingly, he found the broken fragments and brought them with him.
We managed to successfully bond the original tooth fragments back onto the teeth with minor additional repair work. To this day, the teeth look and feel great!
Before Treatment
After Treatment
This 16 year old boy fell off his bike and collided with a parked car causing severe trauma to his face, lips and teeth. One tooth suffered irreversible nerve damage and was root canal treated. All damaged teeth were repaired and restored with composite bonding's.
When he is older, and if the bonding's need to be improved upon, we will discuss and possibly carry out ceramic veneers.
Custom made trays are made for the patient who will apply the provided peroxide gel to the inner aspect and wear them for a period of 3 hours or more per day.
This can be done during the day or at night while sleeping. After 5-10 sessions, the teeth will have lightened to an impressive degree.
This treatment would involve the placement of peroxide gel over the teeth by the dentist/hygienist, whilst the gums are carefully protected.
Over a 90 min period, the gel is replaced multiple times, and the teeth are whitened.

After Treatment
This 21 year old lady was very unhappy with the aesthetic appearance of her crown upper right lateral incisor. Its shape, texture and shade were less than ideal.
The poor fit at the gum line also caused food to get trapped and caused constant redness and inflammation. We replaced this crown with one that looked and fitted perfectly restoring her tooth to ideal health and beauty.
Before Treatment
After Treatment
This 22 year old young lady had suffered trauma to her UL1 when she was much younger. At that time, the tooth was root canal treated and a ceramic crown placed. Unfortunately, due to the darkening of the underlying tooth and the transparency of the ceramic material, the end result is a crown that looks grey and quite dark by the gum line.
To address all the underlying problems, we carried root canal therapy to improve the health of the tooth followed by internal bleaching of the tooth over 3 visits to whiten the core structure of the tooth.
We masked the tooth structure with opaque bonding material and restored the tooth with an all ceramic crown with an opaque core to help block the dark inner layers. The end result is very pleasing, and you may notice that the colour of the gum above the tooth is also much improved.
Before Treatment
After Treatment
This 59 year old lady was not happy with the appearance of her relatively new crowns so seaked our assistance. She felt the crowns were not bright enough, they were mono chromatic, irregular, poorly shaped, poorly textured, too masculine and did not produce the width of smile she wished.
After extensive assessment and design work we produced a wax design to follow her wishes and this was tested to perfection with the temporary crowns. Once she was satisfied with the temporaries, we completed her treatment with all ceramic crowns with much improved brightness, shape, texture and alignment.

If the nerve in the middle of the tooth becomes decayed and infected (due to a crack, accident or cavity), the canal system has to be cleaned, sterilised and filled. This process is called root canal treatment which allows the tooth to be saved, and not extracted.
