Which cosmetic dental treatments are available at Watford Dental Practice?
Teeth whitening
At Watford Dental Practice we use Boutique teeth whitening which is carried out in the privacy of your own home.
Teeth straightening
Teeth straightening is now faster and more discreet than ever before. Invisalign and SureSmile both use clear aligners which sit over your teeth to gently guide them into place.
There are no metal brackets or wires and most people won’t even know that you’re having your teeth straightened.
Veneers
Veneers are made up of thin layers of porcelain which stick to the surface of your tooth or teeth to give them a new look.
They are a painless and effective way to disguise flaws like cracks, chips and discoloured teeth.
Composite Bonding
Dental implants
Whether you’re looking to replace a single missing tooth or many missing teeth, dental implants are the permanent solution.
They look and function just like your usual teeth. With dental implants you can eat, talk and smile with confidence.

FAQ's for Cosmetic Dentistry
Does the NHS cover cosmetic dentistry?
No, the NHS does not cover cosmetic dentistry because these treatments are not deemed necessary in relation to your general or oral health. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on updating the look and appearance of your teeth and for this reason all cosmetic dental treatments are carried out privately.
Is teeth straightening painful?
Advances in orthodontics means that teeth straightening is not as painful as it used to be. Invisalign is the newest form of teeth straightening and uses a series of clear aligners that sit over the top of your teeth. They are extremely discreet and deemed to be more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Is everyone suitable for cosmetic dentistry?
This will depend upon the specific cosmetic dental treatment, but generally most adults over 18 are suitable for cosmetic dentistry.
We recommend that pregnant and breastfeeding women do not have teeth whitening. There are also certain restrictions in place for dental implants. We will not treat smokers, patients who have certain medical conditions or those who are on certain medication because all these factors greatly affect the success rate of dental implants.
