Cosmetic Dentistry in Croydon
Your smile needs a makeover!
Cosmetic Dentistry—an Overview
Your smile is your identity—the most valuable asset. Whether it’s a small touch-up or a full-mouth smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry in Croydon offers diverse treatments like teeth whitening, dental veneers, crowns, dental implants and more. With a focus on comfort, accuracy, and the latest techniques and aesthetics, we try our best to create beautiful, lasting smiles that suit your personality.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a diverse group of dental treatments that focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and gums. Unlike general dentistry, which addresses oral health concerns alone, cosmetic procedures prioritise aesthetics whilst improving functionality—that is, your ability to chew better.
Who Can Get Cosmetic Dental Procedures?
Cosmetic dentistry is ideal for those who have the following dental concerns:
- Stained or discoloured teeth
- Crooked, misaligned, or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or worn-out teeth
- Missing teeth and gaps
- An uneven gum line
Addressing cosmetic concerns early on can help prevent minor issues from becoming more complex and costly dental problems.
Types of Cosmetic Dental Treatments
At Smile 4 U, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments, such as:
Teeth whitening: If your teeth are stained or discoloured from beverages like coffee, tea, or wine—or due to smoking—professional teeth whitening or dental bleaching can restore their natural brightness.
Dental veneers: Veneers are ultra-thin, customised shells made of porcelain or composite resin, bonded to the front surface of your teeth—ideal for correcting minor imperfections like chips, gaps, or discolouration.
Tooth bonding: A quick, painless procedure that uses tooth-coloured cement to fill small imperfections like chips, cracks, uneven edges, or cavities in front teeth—they blend seamlessly with the other natural teeth.
Teeth straightening: For crooked or misaligned teeth, modern orthodontic treatments offer a range of solutions to help straighten your smile.
Gum line treatments: An uneven gum line, a ‘gummy’ smile, or receding gums—whatever the case, gum contouring reshapes your gums to create a more balanced smile.
We regularly provide cosmetic dental treatments to patients from Croydon, Addiscombe, Shirley, West Wickham, Thornton Heath, and Addington.
