Our cosmetic dentist, Kal, has recently completed a smile makeover. This pleasant lady came in complaining about the appearance of her bridges and about her receding gums. We carried out soft-tissue grafting and allowed 3 months of healing before replacing two new metal ceramic bridges to achieve a better cosmetic result.
The results are fantastic and are shown below
Due to programmes like Extreme Makeovers and 10 years younger, porcelain veneers are on high demand by our patients. We get patients coming from all over Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire asking for veneers.
Veneers are thin porcelain facets that are glued onto teeth to mask imperfections. They can hide uneven, crooked or chipped teeth and can also mask tooth discoulouration.
Our award winning dentist, Kal sees many new patients who want veneers to improve the appearance of their teeth. He also sees many patients who are unhappy with the veneers because of poor quality ceramic work. Kal’s patients who have had veneers done by him are ecstatic about the results. These superb results are achieved thanks to Kal’s excellent clinical skills and to the highly skilled lab technician he uses. Our technician is a master ceramist who produces artistic and realistic results in all his work.
An example of veneers done just last week at our practice is shown below.
I really enjoy reading fashion magazines and gossip magazines when am having a break and am relaxing at weekends. They are also a great way of learning about celebrity smile makeovers.
This week I saw before and after pictures of Cheryl Cole, Kate Beckinsale and Celine Dion.
Cheryl Cole used to have prominent canines and small lateral incisors, which are now more symmetrical and proportional to each other. From the photos, it looks like she may have had veneers.
Kate Beckinsale had very yellow teeth prior to becoming a Hollywood star, and know she has a beautiful pearly white smile
Celine Dion used to have very crowded and yellow teeth, indicating she may have had braces and veneers to improve her smiles.
Getting a beautiful smile improves one’s confidence and can be lifechanging. I used to have crooked teeth and after having six month braces treatment I have now straight teeth and am proud of them and am more confident when smiling and speaking.

BBC radio Leicester asked Kal to come in for an interview on Wednesday 5th November to talk about cosmetic dentistry.
The radio presenter Rupal asked Kal questions on different types of cosmetic dentistry such as:
- what happens during a cosmetic consultation?
- what are veneers etc
Kal highlighted the importance of having a healthy mouth prior to undergoing any form of cosmetic dentistry. Once the mouth is healthy, then cosmetic work can be started. He stressed that a good cosmetic dentist not only will have great skills himself but will be using an excellent dental lab and the best dental materials on the market.
Kal also highlighted that we treat a lot of very nervous patients and that they do have neglected mouths due to their fear of dentists. He explained how we have been able to treat successfully all the anxious patients we see and we have given them great smiles to be proud of and show off.
