ABOUT COSMETIC DENTISTRY

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments focused on how your smile looks — from whitening and bonding to veneers and full smile makeovers. Unlike general dentistry, most cosmetic treatment is elective, giving you full choice over the outcome you want.

The best cosmetic results still start with healthy teeth and gums, so we’ll always make sure any underlying issues are addressed before planning cosmetic work.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Cosmetic treatment is elective, so it isn’t routinely available on the NHS — but we’ve made it as accessible as possible at Dumfries Dental Studio.

If a cosmetic concern is linked to a genuine clinical need, such as damage from an injury, this can be assessed and may qualify for NHS treatment.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is cosmetic dentistry available on the NHS?

Cosmetic treatment is elective and isn't routinely available on the NHS, though clinical need following an injury may qualify for NHS treatment in some cases.

What's the difference between veneers and composite bonding?

Veneers are custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth, offering a durable, long-lasting result; bonding reshapes teeth directly using tooth-coloured resin, usually in a single visit and at a lower cost.

How long do cosmetic results last?

This depends on the treatment — bonding typically lasts several years, while veneers can last a decade or more with good care. We'll advise on longevity for your specific plan.

Will cosmetic dentistry damage my natural teeth?

Some treatments, like traditional veneers, require minimal tooth preparation; others, like bonding and whitening, are non-invasive. We'll explain what's involved for your chosen option.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Dumfries?

Costs vary by treatment and case — a full, itemised quote is provided after your consultation.
