Facial Aesthetics
We are delighted to offer the latest facial aesthetic treatments. These procedures can help soften expression lines and define facial contours. They are quick and easy to undertake and the results can have the effect of turning back the years. You will have a consultation with a highly qualified practitioner before treatment is undertaken, when all aspects of the procedures will be fully explained, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Wrinkle Reduction
Botox® is a highly popular method of softening facial expression lines and making the face look refreshed. Crease lines and wrinkles are a natural maturing process caused by a combination of ageing, sun damage, gravity and the everyday motions of laughing, talking, frowning and crying. Botox® works by relaxing the tiny facial muscles which create expression lines. This means the muscles no longer contract as forcefully so the overlying skin stays smooth and crease-free. The result is a more relaxed and youthful look.
The procedure is simple and straightforward. Botox® is injected using a very fine needle in very precise locations on the face. After around two or three days the effects are seen with the full benefits becoming visible up to fourteen days after treatment. Average results last around four to five month before repeat treatments are required.
Lip Enhancement
Restylane™ Lipp is specially designed to create the beautiful looking lips you desire. Whether you would like to have softer, fuller lips - or just to add a touch of volume in the lip border to give a more sculptured look, Restylane™ Lipp is the perfect treatment for you.
Dermal Fillers
The skin’s hydration, resistance, tone and elasticity are critical to its appearance. Cosmetics and moisturising products such as anti-ageing creams only act on the upper layers of the skin, primarily the epidermis.
However to achieve long lasting improvements to the appearance of wrinkles, a deeper layer of skin should be treated. Restylane™ works in the dermis itself, to fundamentally change the appearance of wrinkles.
Immediate Results…..
With Restylane™, fine lines, wrinkles and folds are immediately filled and corrected. Mouths too, can become fuller and lips more clearly defined. In addition, as an oval facial shape is often associated with a younger appearance, augmentation in the cheek area can enhance a youthful appearance. Restylane™ uses a compound found naturally in your skin. This compond is injected directly into the dermis.

Facial Peels
LIGHT Chemical Gel Peels Help Improve Appearance and Texture of Skin Without Irritation
Skinceuticals Gel Peels combine scientifically proven ingredients in a unique gel delivery system. The peels work by accelerating the cell renewal process, stimulating collagen synthesis and improving elastin fibers in the dermis. These light chemical peels revitalise photodamaged and sensitive skin, help improve problematic skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These peels are recommended for use in a series of sessions.
A peel invlolves the application of a special solution containing alpha and beta hydroxl acids to the surface of the skin to reveal the fresh skin beneath. It can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including:
- Acne
- Rosacea
- Fine Wrinkling
- Blotchy skin
- Dry skin
- Age spots, freckles
- Sun damage
- Facial Pigmentation
Light chemical peels have the benefit of not requiring any recovery time and irritation. They can achieve the same results as a stronger peel, but cause less irritation as they are applied in series. Depending on the condition to be treated and skin type, weekly applications are recommended. A series of six peels will achieve a significant skin improvement.
Glycolic/Lactic
Peel Glycolic and lactic acid combine to work synergistically, exfoliating the skin while reducing irritation and dryness. Because of glycolic acid’s molecular structure, it penetrates quicker and deeper than other AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) to perform at all levels of the skin. Lactic acid is an effective, yet gentle, AHA that increases moisture levels by stimulating the production of glycosaminoglycans. This treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is ideal for dry, photo-damaged and / or ageing skin.
Salicylic/Mandelic
PeelSalicyclic and mandelic acid combine to work synergistically, exfoliating the skin while decongesting pores and reducing irritation. Although one of the strongest AHAs, mandelic acid’s large molecular structure and even penetration help prevent inflammation and irritation that can sometimes occur with AHA use. Salicylic acid is a lipid soluble BHA (Betahydroxy Acid) that penetrates pores to dissolve sebum and cellular debris. This light chemical peel revitalises sensitive skin and is suited for people with oily or acneic skin, as well as for patients with darker complexions.

Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the colour of your teeth. Teeth yellow with age but drinking tea, coffee and colas all speed up this process. Smoking and other staining agents will also contribute to darkening of the teeth. The whitening technique removes the staining agent that has penetrated deep within the tooth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of whitening process chosen. We can advise upon the suitability of treatment based upon your tooth and gum condition.
Home Whitening
Home whitening involves the use of custom made trays over a period of time at home. This technique involves taking impressions (moulds) of your teeth. These impressions are sent to a laboratory where a technician fabricates custom made trays designed to fit closely to your teeth. This customisation allows for maximum contact between the whitening gel and your teeth. This system also minimises the gel’s contact with gum tissue and reduces any gum irritation. A whitening gel is syringed into the trays and these are seated over your teeth for anything from an hour to overnight. These trays can be kept and used for future whitening, so further impression taking and tray fabrication is not required. Successful whitening can normally be achieved after two/three weeks, however, this may vary with certain types of discolouration.
In surgery whitening using wy10™ 'Power' Whitening
This one hour chair-side treatment leaves teeth up to 10 shades whiter. The gums and sensitive areas of the teeth are protected. Your teeth are in turn assessed to establish whether they are porous or dense and then the most advanced wy10 Power gel is applied to the enamel and activated using the Wy10 Power Lamp for 10 minutes. The process is then repeated two to four times depending on the individual characteristics of your teeth.
The whole process takes about an hour depending on the texture of your teeth. People with porous teeth will require less treatment time (typically 30 minutes). People with dense teeth will require more.

Smile Makeovers
Background
There is an unprecedented rise in cosmetic dentistry in the UK and this is partly due to the media coverage on makeover programmes. A beautiful smile is not just for the rich and famous and does not have to be out of your financial reach. The dental team at the clinic have years of experience in cosmetic dentistry and are able to offer a full range of cosmetic options that will give you a beautiful smile to be proud of.
Tooth Whitening
We offer a range of tooth whitening options to make your smile spectacular. We offer home whitening trays or one hour in-surgery power whitening using wy10TM Laser Whitening.
Cerec – Crowns, Veneers and Fillings
Cerec CADCAM technology allows us to make beautiful and highly durable tooth-like fillings, crowns and veneers, which look and feel just like your own teeth. Unlike conventional laboratory constructed restorations, Cerecs can be completed during a single appointment, avoiding the need for repeated visits. This also eliminates the need for temporary restorations, and in most cases, impressions.
Natural Coloured Fillings
Metal fillings can now be replaced by natural tooth coloured fillings to improve the look of your smile.
Crowns & Bridges
We can cover unsightly teeth using crowns. Spaces between teeth can be filled using bridge work either attached to crowns or by using the latest in adhesive dentistry.
Veneers
Provide a wafer thin mask to hide discolouration on teeth and close unsightly gaps with little or no work needed on the tooth itself. Veneers are often shown on makeover programmes because they can completely transform your smile.
Lumineers®
LUMINEERS® BY CERINATE® are porcelain veneers which offer a way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile for those people who don’t wish to alter the underlying tooth. Lumineers can be applied to teeth without any grinding or shaving. Lumineers can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them. Lumineers are as thin as contact-lens and offer a permanent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discoloured or misaligned teeth.
Implants
Titanium implants are used to fill gaps caused by missing teeth. By replacing the root of the missing tooth with an implant, it is then possible to attach a crown or bridge to this. Implants feel and function just like your own teeth and are the permanent answer to tooth loss.
Orthodontics (tooth straightening)
A full range of orthodontic treatment is available for children and adults. Up to date orthodontic techniques and treatments are available including invisalign braces. Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, almost unnoticeable aligners. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since previously wearing braces, you will have a new reason to smile.
