Teeth Whitening
Boost your confidence with a brighter smile.
Teeth can easily become discoloured by tea, coffee, red wine or other foods and drinks with strong colourings. Tooth whitening will not completely change the colour of your teeth, but it will make them a lighter shade.
The benefits of tooth whitening could last up to three years, however, this will vary from person-to-person. The effect is less likely to last as long if you smoke or eat or drink products that can stain your teeth.
Tooth whitening is a simple procedure that can effectively lighten the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. The whitening effects can last up to 12 months.
At Our Brixworth Dental Practice in Northampton we offer teeth whitening using the safe and easy to use Boutique Home Whitening Kits.
WHITE FILLINGS
At Brixworth Dental Practice, Northampton we are a mercury-free practice, using only white (composite) fillings which are strong, durable and will last a long time if they are looked after.
They can also look extremely natural, so why not make them look as similar as possible to your natural tooth? If the filling is large, we may recommend that you have a porcelain inlay, onlay or dental crown constructed.
SMILE DESIGN
Your smile the way you want it.
Your smile is often one of the first things that other people will notice about you so it’s crucial that you are happy with the first impression your smile makes, whether it’s at a job interview or on a first date.
A smile makeover involves one or more cosmetic dental or facial rejuvenation procedures to improve the aesthetics of your smile. It is a very individual process as it is dependent on what you want, but a makeover could range from a simple improvement, such as the replacement of silver fillings with more discreet white ones and teeth whitening, to teeth being straightened or missing teeth replaced.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY FAQs
About Cosmetic Dentistry
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile using treatments such as whitening, veneers and bonding. These treatments are carefully planned to enhance aesthetics while maintaining long-term oral health.
Can cosmetic dentistry be provided privately?
Yes. At Brixworth Dental Practice in Northampton, cosmetic dentistry is provided on a private basis, allowing greater choice of treatments, materials and appointment time, with care tailored to your individual goals.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Costs vary depending on the treatment, materials used and number of teeth involved. Your consultation at Brixworth includes a written treatment plan with a clear cost estimate.
Will dental insurance cover cosmetic treatment?
Many dental insurance plans focus on essential care and may not cover purely cosmetic procedures. It is best to check your policy and review a written treatment plan before proceeding.
Is cosmetic dentistry suitable for older patients?
Yes. Cosmetic dentistry can be suitable at many ages, provided teeth and gums are healthy. Treatment planning is based on oral health and goals rather than age alone.
Teeth Whitening
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional teeth whitening carried out by a dentist or under their prescription is considered safe when used correctly. An examination at Brixworth Dental Practice beforehand ensures whitening is suitable for your teeth and gums and helps achieve predictable results.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Whitening results can last from several months to a few years depending on diet, smoking and oral hygiene. Top-up treatments may be recommended to help maintain your preferred shade safely.
Are there risks with teeth whitening?
Temporary sensitivity or mild gum irritation can occur, particularly if whitening gel contacts the gums. These effects are usually short-lived and reduced when treatment is professionally supervised.
Treatments & Smile Goals
Are veneers right for me?
Veneers are thin coverings placed on the front of teeth to improve colour, shape or alignment. They involve some tooth preparation, so your dentist at Brixworth will discuss suitability and alternatives such as bonding or orthodontics.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to reshape or repair teeth, for example closing small gaps or repairing chips. It is often minimally invasive but may require maintenance over time.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix small gaps between my teeth?
Small gaps can often be improved with composite bonding, veneers or orthodontic options such as clear aligners. The most suitable option depends on your bite, tooth shape and overall smile balance.
How long do veneers and crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, veneers and crowns can last many years. Avoiding habits such as nail-biting or biting hard objects helps prolong their lifespan.
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalised combination of treatments designed to achieve agreed cosmetic goals. At Brixworth Dental Practice, planning may include photographs, scans and staged treatment to ensure predictable outcomes.
Can cosmetic dentistry improve worn or short teeth?
Yes. Treatments such as bonding, veneers or crowns can rebuild worn edges and improve tooth length and shape. Underlying causes of wear are also assessed and managed.
How do I choose between braces and veneers?
Braces and clear aligners move teeth into a better position, while veneers alter the visible surfaces without moving roots. Your dentist at Brixworth will explain the advantages, limitations and timeframes of each option.
Process, Comfort & Aftercare
Will cosmetic dental treatment damage my teeth?
Many cosmetic treatments can be carried out conservatively, although some options involve altering tooth structure. Your dentist will explain the benefits, risks and long-term implications before treatment begins.
Do my teeth need to be healthy before cosmetic treatment?
Yes. Teeth and gums should be healthy before cosmetic procedures are carried out. Any decay or gum disease is treated first to ensure predictable and lasting results.
Will cosmetic dental treatments hurt?
Most cosmetic procedures are comfortable, with local anaesthetic used where necessary. Temporary sensitivity after treatment is common but usually settles within a few days.
Can I have cosmetic treatment if I grind my teeth?
Tooth grinding can increase wear on cosmetic restorations. Your dentist at Brixworth will factor this into planning and may recommend a nightguard to protect your teeth and restorations.
How do I look after my teeth after cosmetic treatment?
Maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups and hygiene visits at our Northampton practice, and avoid damaging habits. Limiting staining foods and drinks also helps preserve cosmetic results.
