If you’re thinking about improving your smile, you don’t need an extreme transformation to get a good result.
Honest advice and thought-out, careful dentistry
At Park Road Dental Care, we offer small but high-impact cosmetic improvements that look natural:
- Tooth whitening
- Cosmetic white (tooth-coloured) fillings
- Cosmetic crowns
- Replacing old crowns, veneers and fillings for a cleaner, more consistent look
The Park Road approach
Natural-looking, not copy-and-paste
Cosmetic dentistry should suit your face, your age, and your personality. We aim for results that look healthy, balanced, and believable.
Cosmetic improvements as a part of routine dentistry
Many cosmetic concerns can be improved with the same treatments that keep your teeth strong and functional – just provided with the right materials and extra attention to detail.
Clear plan, clear costs
We’ll explain the options, what will (and won’t) make a difference, and what it’s likely to cost -and form a plan together that meets your goals and matches your budget.
What we can help with
Whitening
For lifting the overall brightness of your smile in a controlled, safe way.
White (tooth-coloured) fillings
For repairing decay or replacing old restorations with a natural appearence.
Replace old fillings
If you’ve got stained edges, dark metal showing through, or mismatched shades, we can often improve the look while also checking the health of the tooth underneath.
Cosmetic crowns and repairs
If a tooth is heavily restored, worn, or discoloured, a crown (or similar restoration) can sometimes improve strength and appearance.
Fixing chips, uneven edges and wear
Small refinements can make a surprisingly big difference, especially where teeth are chipped or worn down.
Closing gaps or improving symmetry
Sometimes white fillings (composite bonding) can help, other times clear aligners or orthodontic treatment might be needed. We can explore the options with you.
Tooth whitening
Simple, safe, effective
If you want a fresher, brighter smile, whitening is often a good place to start.
What we’ll cover at your whitening appointment:
- Whether whitening will work for your teeth (and what might limit it)
- The safest approach for you
- The likely shade change and what a realistic result might be for you
Replacing old fillings/crowns for cosmetic reasons
When “old dentistry” starts to show
- silver/grey fillings
- dark margins around older crowns
- staining around edges
- mismatch between one tooth and the next
Replacing old fillings and crowns can sometimes improve both health and appearance. Even when a filling or crown is not failing, but cosmetically is a concern, we can discuss the pros/cons and whether replacement might be a good option or not.
Your first cosmetic appointment
What to expect
At your consultation we’ll:
- Listen to what’s bothering you (and what you want to keep the same)
- Check overall oral health first (because cosmetic work needs healthy foundations)
- Talk through options from simplest to more involved
- Give you a clear plan and costs (with timeframes)
If you want to take time to think, that’s absolutely fine.
Clear aligners
Thinking about straighter teeth?
We’ll be offering clear aligner orthodontics in the future. For now, we can still:
- assess what’s possible
- explain the likely options and timelines
- help you decide whether aligners are worth considering
FAQs
Is cosmetic dentistry just for perfect teeth?
Not at all. Most cosmetic improvements are about small, realistic changes.
Will whitening damage my teeth?
When done properly and with the right products, whitening is considered safe. We’ll advise what’s appropriate for you.
Can you replace my silver fillings with white fillings?
Often, yes – if it’s clinically appropriate. We’ll assess whether replacement is possible and sensible for each tooth.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
It depends on what you want to change and what’s already there. Once we have looked in your mouth we’ll be able to give you clear options and costs.
