Cosmetic work that still looks like your teeth.
The aim is never a set of teeth you can spot across a room. It is that people notice you look well and cannot quite say why.
Everything below starts with a consultation, a plan and a written cost. No treatment gets started on a “let's see what we find” basis.
Straightening, without a mouth full of metal.
Invisalign Go certified, with a structured planning workflow behind every case rather than guesswork.
Clear removable aligners, changed on a schedule, that move teeth gradually into a planned position. Most people wear them around 20–22 hours a day and take them out to eat and clean.
Best suited to crowding, spacing, and the relapse that catches up with a lot of people years after childhood braces. More complex bite problems sometimes need a different approach — if that is you, I will say so rather than start something unsuitable.
- You see the plan first. A digital simulation of the intended movement before you commit to anything.
- Reviews as you go. Short appointments to check progress, not long ones.
- Retainers afterwards. Teeth drift back without them — that gets discussed at the start, not sprung on you at the end.
No drilling of healthy enamel.
Tooth-coloured composite shaped directly onto the tooth to rebuild worn edges, close small gaps, or even up a smile that has never quite matched.
Trained with Dr Monik Vasant at the Fresh Dental Institute, and on an intensive two-day Mini Smile Makeover composite course.
Usually done in a single appointment, and reversible in a way that veneers and crowns are not — because in most cases nothing healthy is removed to make room for it.
- Additive, not destructive. Composite is added to the tooth rather than cut into it.
- Shaped and polished by hand. Which is exactly why the unhurried appointments matter.
- Honest about lifespan. Composite stains and chips eventually and needs maintaining. Anyone promising otherwise is overselling.
The supervised version, not a shop-bought kit.
Professional whitening, planned around your teeth and gums after an examination. Custom trays, a controlled gel, and clear instructions.
In the UK, tooth whitening is a dental procedure — it has to be carried out or directly supervised by a registered dental professional. Beauty-salon whitening and strong online kits are a genuine risk to gums and enamel, and I would rather you heard that from me than found out afterwards.
- An examination first. Whitening over untreated decay or gum disease is a bad idea.
- Sensitivity managed. Common, temporary, and something the plan accounts for.
- Realistic expectations. Existing fillings, crowns and bonding will not change colour — that affects the sequence, so it is planned for.
Planned properly, in the right order.
Most good results are a sequence, not a single treatment: align first, then whiten, then bond — because doing it in the wrong order wastes your money.
I plan and deliver these from the first consultation through to completion. Backed by a year-long restorative course with Dr Chris Orr, and by working alongside implant clinicians in a specialist implant centre for the cases that need more than I do myself.

Consultation and photographs
What you would like to change, in your words. Photographs and records so we are both looking at the same thing.
-
A written plan with costs
Options, sequence, timescale and price — to take away and think about. Nothing is booked under pressure.
-
Health first, cosmetics second
Any decay or gum problems get sorted before cosmetic work. Bonding over an unhealthy mouth is a waste of both our time.
-
The cosmetic sequence
Alignment, whitening and bonding in whatever order your case needs, with reviews as we go.
The ordinary dentistry still matters.
Cosmetic work is what people come looking for. Keeping the rest healthy is what makes it last.
- Check-ups and routine care — examinations, fillings and preventive advice, at a pace that suits you.
- Emergency appointments — pain, breakages and things that have suddenly got worse. Years of NHS urgent-care experience behind this, including the UDC/111 service.
- Extractions and oral surgery — more complex cases handled in-house since training with Dr Chris Waith.
- Referral when it is the right answer — if something needs a specialist, you get told, not attempted.
What this page is not
It is a description of treatments, not advice about your teeth, and not a promise of a particular result. What is suitable for you can only be settled at a consultation, after an examination. Costs are always given in writing before treatment starts.
Not sure which of these you need?
That is what a consultation is for. Tell me roughly what you would like to change and I will tell you honestly what would get you there.
