Smile Makeover

Get a healthier, straighter and whiter smile!

With a range of cosmetic treatments available in our practice, we can help you get the smile you want.

Teeth whitening, veneers, teeth straightening, implants and even reducing and softening facial lines can all improve your smile and help restore your confidence.

Dental Implants

The second permanent teeth.

Dental implants have given us the opportunity to replace missing or lost teeth with a fixed, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing alternative.

Dental implant therapy is considered now to be the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are a safe and predictable option with a success rate of over 98% if carried out appropriately on suitable candidates. Not everyone is suitable for implant therapy though. Our dentists will therefore carry out a thorough, detailed and free assessment of our patients prior to proposing such treatment.

Dental Veeners

Veneers are usually made from porcelain or composite filling material.

They are wafer thin, and are placed over your teeth to improve their appearance.

In just two or three dental visits, a veneer can reverse years of stains caused by foods, caffeine and tobacco use. Veneers can also be used to correct discoloured, worn down, cracked and chipped teeth and to close unsightly gaps between teeth.

The dentists at Southgate work closely with our experienced lab technicians to create a veneer that is a perfect colour and shape for your teeth.

Dental Crowns

Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.

Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth.

Crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants, prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse, or an existing filling is in jeopardy of becoming loose or dislocated. Crowns also serve an aesthetic use, and are applied when a discoloured or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance

Dental Bridges

Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth.

Porcelain, gold alloys or combinations of materials are usually used to make bridge appliances.

Dentures

When patients lose their teeth, then chewing ability will be reduced greatly.

A patient can have dentures to have their facial contours and chewing ability restored
