What’s is cosmetic dentistry?
The purpose of cosmetic detistry is to improve the appearance of your teeth and, in turn, your smile. It’s amazing what a smile can do for your look. It can transform your overall appearance. Think of your smile as your personal business card.
What are the different types of dentistry?
There are various types of cosmetic dentistry available depending on what you’re hoping to achieve, including Veneers, Crowns, Whitening, Implants, Fixed Bridges, Dentures, Braces, and more. Oftentimes, cosmetic dentistry isn’t just cosmetic – it’s important to improve your well-being and eliminate pain. Braces and invisible braces are a prime example. Crooked, misaligning teeth don’t just cause embarrassment, but can often cause oral health problems too, blocking the spaces between the teeth to cause decay, painful cramping, and more.
- Veneers: Custom-tailored shells to cover your natural teeth and improve your appearance.Patients over 18 who use glasses or contact lenses
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth bleaching is a powerful way to reveal your whitest teeth.
- Implants: Missing teeth? Fill the gap with Dental Implants that utilize the latest technology.
- Dental Crowns: Thanks to advanced technology, crowns can look and feel like real teeth.
- Dental Bridges: Bridge the gap between missing teeth to improve your appearance.
- Dentures: Look and feel your best with artificial teeth and gums created by a professional dentist.
Am I a candidate for dentistry?
This all depends on the procedure you wish to invest in. For example, for veneers, you may not be a candidate if you chew your nails. To qualify for dental implants, you need to have good general oral health. For crowns, the dentist will likely want to see that your teeth are seriously decayed and the crowns are urgently needed. Teeth whitening candidates should preferably not have teeth that are too sensitive as this can cause severe pain via exposed dentine.

How long are the recovery periods for various procedures?
Again, this all depends on your preferred treatment. Teeth whitening patients, for example, are normally able to eat normally again within a few days. It’s advised that clients eat a diet of “white foods” to ensure the results stick. Some pain is common, but if it’s severe, your dentist can
recommend pain medication. Here are some more common recovery periods:
- Veneers: 2-4 weeks
- Crowns: +- 3 months
- Implants: 7-10 days post-surgery
- Bridges: A few days, minor pain
- Dentures: 6-8 weeks after teeth extraction

Absolutely first class. I have never enjoyed going to the dentist before. I can’t thank them enough for helping me get over my fears and can recommend them 100%. Amazing staff great treatments. Feels like family. Thank you so much.
The best experience I’ve had so far. I can’t recommend this dental practice highly enough, visited recently as a new patient requiring treatment. HealiumHealth’s appointment system is brilliant, always very accommodating with times. A reminder SMS is sent the working day beforehand. I also had a call confirming appointment. The dentist themselves was in my view excellent.The best dentist I have ever seen.
