Cosmetic dentistry in Tenbury Wells
What does cosmetic dentistry at Tenbury involve?
Cosmetic dentistry is any treatment chosen mainly for how your teeth look: whiter, straighter, more even, or a different shape. At Tenbury Dental Centre it starts with a detailed examination and, for bigger changes, a prototype of the proposed smile that you can try in your own mouth before anything is done.
Four treatments do most of the work. Teeth whitening for colour, Invisalign for position, porcelain veneers for shape and surface, and smile design when several of those need combining into one plan. Many patients need less than they expect: a whitening course and a hygienist visit can change more than people assume.
Our principal dentist Vishal Patel plans the cosmetic work here, and nothing irreversible happens until you have seen and approved what you are getting.

About smile design
Prices are from our fee list. Veneers and smile design are costed in your treatment plan because every case is different.
You can try the result before anything is done
For anything beyond whitening, we build an aesthetic prototype: a model of the proposed teeth, made from your photographs and a digital scan, and transferred to your mouth as a clip-on preview. You look in the mirror, we adjust it together, and only when you are happy does the plan get written up.
Their own words for it on the current site are the right ones: you are in complete control. It also removes the most common reason people never enquire, which is not knowing what they would end up with.
Every cosmetic plan comes with a timeline and the full cost in writing before you decide.

Which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
It depends on what bothers you. Colour is usually whitening, position is usually Invisalign, and shape or damage is usually veneers. If it is more than one of those, a smile design plan combines them in the right order. A consultation and a look at your teeth tells us which, and we will say if we think you need less than you expected.
Can I see what my smile will look like before I commit?
Yes. For whitening we record your starting shade and talk through a realistic result. For veneers and smile design we make a clip-on prototype of the proposed teeth that you try in your own mouth and adjust with us before any treatment starts. For Invisalign, your planned tooth movement is shown on screen first.
Can cosmetic treatments be combined?
Often they should be, and the order matters. Straightening usually comes before veneers, and whitening before anything that is colour-matched, because veneers and crowns do not change shade afterwards. A smile design plan sequences everything so each step helps the next.
Is cosmetic dentistry only for the front teeth?
Mostly, because those are the teeth people see, but not always. Straightening often involves the whole arch, and a worn or broken back tooth may need a crown as part of the same plan. We treat the mouth as a whole and tell you what matters for health as well as looks.
How do I find out what it will cost?
Whitening is £495 and Invisalign is £2,900 to £4,600, both on our fee list. Veneers and smile design are quoted after your consultation because the number of teeth and the materials vary. For treatment over £500 there is an interest-free option over 12 months, subject to status. See finance options.
