Common cosmetic problems and the solutions your Liverpool dentist can offer

Stained or discoloured teeth

Tooth colour is the biggest cosmetic dental complaint in the UK, with 64% of adults displeased with the current shade of their teeth. Your Liverpool dentist will first establish the cause and nature of your tooth staining, before recommending the best course of treatment.

Common everyday stains, such as those caused by red wine, coffee, or smoking, can be treated effectively with teeth whitening. This involves the use of special dental bleaching gel to permeate the teeth and remove stains, and must only be carried out on the prescription of a dentist.

In the case of permanent stains, porcelain veneers are a good choice. They are thin porcelain shells placed over the surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance, and can last ten years or more with good care.

Misaligned teeth

Tooth alignment is also a big problem for many UK adults. At Liverpool Smile Studio we offer a number of discreet tooth straightening solutions, using either fixed braces or removable aligners that will be invisible or nigh-on invisible in daily life.

Gummy smile

When you have too much gum tissue on show, this is known as a gummy smile. Your Liverpool dentist can safely and painlessly remove excess gum tissue with a procedure known as gum reshaping.

Replacing metal amalgam fillings

Metal amalgam fillings may be strong, but they are also pretty obvious. At our Liverpool clinic we can safely remove your old metal fillings and replace them with tooth-coloured alternatives (white fillings) in a single appointment.
