Cosmetic Dentistry in Corby

Many Corby patients choose St Mary's Dental because we offer a level of cosmetic expertise and results that are worth the short 15-mile journey. We specialize exclusively in creating beautiful, natural-looking smiles using premium materials and the latest techniques including digital smile design. Our experienced cosmetic dentists have transformed hundreds of smiles, we work with the finest UK laboratories, and we're committed to results that genuinely change lives. While the journey is short, our patients tell us the exceptional quality of work and care they receive makes it absolutely worthwhile. Plus, historic Stamford is a lovely place to visit!

Porcelain veneers are incredibly versatile and can address multiple smile concerns simultaneously. They can dramatically whiten severely stained or discoloured teeth, repair chipped, broken, or worn teeth, close gaps between teeth of any size, make short or worn teeth appear longer, create the appearance of straighter teeth without braces, reshape misshapen or irregular teeth, and replace old, unsightly bonding or restorations. Many patients choose veneers because they can transform their entire smile comprehensively in just a few visits rather than needing multiple separate treatments.

From your initial consultation to your final smile reveal, the complete veneer process typically takes 4-6 weeks. Your first visit is a free consultation where we discuss goals and create your treatment plan. The second appointment (usually 1-2 weeks later) is preparation - we gently reshape your teeth, take impressions, and fit temporary veneers. Over the next 2-3 weeks, the laboratory crafts your custom veneers. Your final appointment is the fitting where we bond your permanent veneers. Some Corby patients prefer to spread appointments further apart for scheduling convenience, while others complete treatment quickly for events.

Not when they're created by experienced cosmetic dentists! The overly-perfect, fake look happens when dentists make teeth too white, too uniform, or too large. We specialize in natural-looking results by carefully matching shade to your complexion, creating subtle variations in shape and size like natural teeth, incorporating natural translucency and texture, and designing proportions that complement your face. Our goal is for people to notice your beautiful smile, not that you've had cosmetic work. Our Corby patients love that their veneers look authentically theirs.

Both improve your smile's appearance but suit different situations. Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin sculpted directly onto teeth in one visit, costs £150-£300 per tooth, is reversible, and lasts 5-7 years - ideal for minor corrections like small chips or gaps. Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells bonded to teeth, require 2-3 visits, cost £650-£950 per tooth, last 10-20 years, and offer superior aesthetics and stain resistance - better for comprehensive smile transformations. We'll recommend the ideal option based on your specific needs and goals.

Absolutely. We understand cosmetic dentistry is an investment, which is why we offer flexible finance options to make your dream smile accessible. We have interest-free payment plans where you can spread the cost over 6-12 months with no interest charged. We also offer longer-term plans if preferred. Many Corby patients find that monthly payments of £99-£150 make treatment very affordable. We'll discuss all payment options during your free consultation and create a plan that fits your budget comfortably.

Veneers are actually quite easy to maintain. Brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily around your veneers, visit your hygienist every 6 months for professional cleaning, avoid biting very hard foods or objects directly with veneered teeth, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth (we'll provide one). The good news is that porcelain veneers resist staining from coffee, tea, and red wine much better than natural teeth, so they actually stay whiter longer. Most Corby patients find veneers easier to care for than their natural teeth were.
