Cosmetic Dentistry in Market Rasen

Cosmetic dentistry can address virtually any smile concern you might have. This includes severely discoloured or stained teeth that won't respond to whitening, chipped, cracked, or broken teeth from accidents or wear, gaps between teeth of any size, worn or short teeth from grinding or age, crooked or misaligned teeth, uneven tooth lengths creating an irregular smile line, old metal fillings or unsightly restorations, and even gummy smiles where too much gum shows. During your free consultation, we'll assess your specific concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatments to achieve your ideal smile.

With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers typically last 10-20 years, and many last even longer. The longevity of your veneers depends on several factors including the quality of materials used (we use only premium dental porcelain), your oral hygiene habits and regular dental visits, whether you grind your teeth (we provide protective nightguards if needed), and avoiding habits like biting hard objects or using teeth as tools. We'll provide comprehensive care instructions to help you maximize the lifespan of your investment.

When created by experienced cosmetic dentists, veneers look completely natural. The 'fake' veneer look happens when teeth are made too white, too uniform, or too large for the person's face. We specialize in natural-looking results by carefully selecting shades that complement your skin tone, creating subtle variations in shape and size like natural teeth, incorporating translucency and texture that mimics tooth enamel, and designing proportions that suit your facial features. Our Market Rasen patients love that people compliment their beautiful smile without realizing they've had cosmetic work.

Both veneers and bonding improve your smile's appearance, but they differ in several ways. 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 - it's ideal for minor corrections. 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 - they're better for comprehensive transformations. We'll recommend the best option based on your specific needs, goals, and budget.

Yes, veneers are excellent for closing gaps and creating the appearance of straighter teeth. For gaps, we make the veneers slightly wider to close the spaces perfectly. For mild to moderate crookedness, veneers can create a straight, even smile without orthodontics - sometimes called 'instant orthodontics.' However, for severely crooked teeth or bite problems, we may recommend clear aligner treatment first for healthier long-term results. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific situation and recommend the ideal approach.

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable cosmetic dentistry is. For composite bonding, we often don't need anaesthetic at all. For veneers, we use effective local anaesthetic during tooth preparation, so you won't feel pain - just some pressure and vibration. After treatment, you may experience mild sensitivity for a few days, especially with veneers, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and settles quickly. We prioritize your comfort at every stage.

Smile makeover costs vary significantly because every treatment is customized to the individual. A modest makeover might involve whitening and 2-4 veneers (around £2,500-£4,000), while a comprehensive transformation with 8-10 veneers or more could cost £6,000-£12,000+. We provide detailed, itemized quotes during your free consultation with no hidden fees. We also offer flexible finance including interest-free payment plans, making treatment accessible with monthly payments from around £99. Many Market Rasen patients are surprised by how affordable their dream smile becomes when spread over manageable monthly payments.
