WHAT IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. While many cosmetic treatments also enhance function, their main goal is aesthetic enhancement, to help you feel proud when you smile. At Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, we understand that every smile is unique, so we tailor each treatment plan to suit your goals, facial structure, and natural features.

Our cosmetic dentistry solutions can address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Tooth discolouration or staining
• Chips, cracks, and uneven edges
• Gaps between teeth
• Misshapen or misaligned teeth
• Worn or aged enamel
• Old dental restorations that no longer match your natural teeth
  

TEETH WHITENING FOR A BRIGHTER SMILE

Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most effective ways to refresh your smile. Unlike over-the-counter kits, our dental-grade whitening treatments deliver noticeable results while ensuring the safety of your gums and enamel. We offer both in-clinic whitening for instant brightness and custom take-home kits that allow you to whiten at your own pace.

We assess the cause of your staining before recommending a treatment. Common factors include coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and natural ageing. With a brighter, cleaner smile, patients often find their confidence restored in social and professional settings.

PORCELAIN VENEERS FOR A PERFECT FINISH

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front of your teeth to create a flawless, natural-looking appearance. They are ideal for correcting chips, uneven teeth, or permanent discolouration that whitening cannot address. Veneers are crafted to match your facial symmetry and skin tone, resulting in a balanced and harmonious look.

At Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, we use high-quality materials and modern digital imaging to design veneers that look and feel just like natural teeth. We can do porcelain veneers in one visit with our state-of-the-art CEREC machine. 

DENTAL BONDING FOR MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

For smaller imperfections, dental bonding offers an affordable and effective alternative. A tooth-coloured resin is carefully applied and sculpted to reshape the tooth, close small gaps, or repair chips. Bonding can often be completed in a single visit and requires minimal tooth preparation, making it a conservative yet impressive solution.

CROWNS & BRIDGES FOR RESTORATIVE BEAUTY

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about restoring strength and balance to your bite. Porcelain crowns and bridges not only improve the look of your smile but also protect and reinforce weakened teeth. Our practice uses colour-matched materials to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both durability and beauty.

TOOTH GEMS

Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery in Upper Hutt, NZ, also serving Lower Hutt, Porirua, Kapiti, Wellington, and Wairarapa, offers tooth gems for patients looking to add a unique sparkle to their smile. Tooth gems are small, high-quality crystals or jewels that are safely bonded to the surface of your tooth using a specialised dental adhesive.

This quick, non-invasive procedure allows you to express your personal style without causing damage to your enamel. The application process is completely painless, and the gems can be easily removed or replaced whenever you wish. Each gem is applied by a qualified dental professional, ensuring it remains secure while maintaining your natural oral hygiene routine.
