Whitening and cosmetic care
Subtle changes that help your smile look like the best version of itself, never overdone.
Cosmetic dentistry at Brightwell is about natural results: a shade brighter, an edge smoothed, a small gap closed. We would rather make three small changes you love than one big one you notice.

Step by step
What happens at your visit
-
What bothers you?
We start with your own words and a few photographs. Often the right answer is smaller than people expect.
-
Options, side by side
Whitening, bonding, veneers or simple reshaping, with honest notes on what each can and cannot do.
-
A preview where possible
For bonding and veneers we can show a mock-up so you know what to expect.
-
Treatment and polish
Carried out with plenty of time, then checked in daylight before you leave.
Afterwards
Aftercare
- After whitening, avoid strongly coloured food and drink such as coffee, red wine and curry for 48 hours.
- Temporary sensitivity after whitening is normal and usually fades within a day or two.
- Bonded teeth are strong but not indestructible: avoid biting hard objects with them.
