Cosmetic Dentistry for Adults in West Finchley

Cosmetic dentistry can help if you are unhappy with parts of your smile. Many adults in West Finchley come to us for stained or yellowed teeth that do not respond to home products, or for minor chips and cracks from years of wear. You may be a good candidate if you have small gaps or slight crookedness you want to correct without long braces. In short, it is for anyone who would feel more comfortable and confident speaking, smiling, or being photographed after a smile upgrade.

Professional whitening is quick and effective for brightening your smile. We use a dentist supervised system that can lighten teeth by several shades in a predictable way. The process uses custom trays you wear at home for about two weeks. It is good for removing common stains from coffee, tea, and red wine.

Composite bonding uses tooth colored resin to fix chips, close small gaps, or shape a tooth. The treatment is done in one visit, usually 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, and it does not remove healthy tooth structure. For a busy professional from West Finchley, a chipped front tooth was repaired with bonding the day before a major presentation. He left with a restored, confident smile.

Porcelain veneers offer a dramatic and durable transformation. These are thin custom shells bonded to the fronts of teeth. They can fix severe discoloration, crookedness, and gaps. With proper care, veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more, making them a solid long term investment in your smile.

If crooked teeth are your main concern, Invisalign provides a discreet way to straighten your smile. These clear removable aligners suit a professional lifestyle. Treatment typically takes 6 to 18 months. Invisalign Lite starts at £3,300 and Invisalign Full is £4,400.

Your journey starts with a 60 minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We will discuss what you would like to change about your smile and review your oral health. Next we use digital imaging and 3D scans to design your new smile and show you a preview of the results. Once you are happy with the plan, we schedule your treatment. Whether it is a single visit for bonding or a series of appointments for veneers, we make sure you are comfortable throughout. After your treatment, we schedule a follow up to make any minor adjustments and ensure you are pleased with the outcome.

As a private practice we provide clear pricing with no hidden fees. The cost depends on your goals. For example, Invisalign Full is £4,400 and includes all aligners, visits, and Vivera retainers worth £500. A simple bonding on one tooth may cost a few hundred pounds, while a full set of porcelain veneers is a larger investment. We had a patient from the N2 area who combined Invisalign Lite (£3,300) with whitening to meet her budget. We accept private insurance from providers like Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna, and we can help you understand your coverage. You will receive a detailed, itemised treatment plan after your first consultation.

To choose wisely for your smile, consider these questions for any dentist, whether at our Finchley practice or elsewhere. What are the realistic pros and cons of each option for my situation? Can you show me before and after photos of similar cases you have completed? How long can I expect the results to last and what maintenance is required? What materials do you use for bonding or veneers and why? Will the treatment look natural and match my other teeth? Is the full cost of the treatment, including follow up visits, included in the quote?
