Many of our patients come to us with similar concerns, seeking ways to feel more confident in their daily lives. The good news? Our cosmetic dentistry services offer a range of solutions that can dramatically enhance the health and appearance of your smile.  

In this guide, we'll break down our most popular cosmetic treatments and explore how they can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, all while maintaining the health and function of your teeth, gums and mouth. Let’s dive in! 

 

Cosmetic dentistry in the UK 

Did you know that a staggering 93% of people in the UK believe that having a nice smile and straight teeth would boost their self-confidence? It’s clear that how we feel about our smile has a huge impact on how we see ourselves—and how others perceive us.  

In today’s world, with social media constantly shaping our image online, the desire for a confident, radiant smile has never been stronger. At Stuart Steven Dental Practice, we offer a variety of cosmetic dental treatments designed to enhance your smile, helping you feel more confident both in person and online. 

 

What is cosmetic dentistry? 

Cosmetic dentistry is all about enhancing the appearance of your teeth and gums, helping you achieve a smile that boosts your confidence. Unlike general dentistry, which focuses on maintaining the health of your teeth through check-ups and treatments, cosmetic dentistry aims to improve how your smile looks, whether that’s through whitening, straightening, or other aesthetic treatments. The ultimate goal is to help you feel great about your smile and, in turn, boost your self-esteem. 

In fact, recent research shows that cosmetic dentistry is becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger adults. One-third of people under 35 have had a cosmetic dental procedure or treatment in the past year, spending an average of £3,677 to enhance their smile. Among those aged 25-34, one in ten has even spent £25,000 or more on cosmetic dental treatments. 

Most people are spending a lot more to make their smiles look good—like using teeth whitening treatments, veneers, or aligners. On average, they spend about £417 on regular dental visits and products to keep their teeth healthy. 

This trend shows how much a confident, beautiful smile matters to people. Our cosmetic dentistry in Edinburgh offers several options to help you achieve the smile you want, all within your budget. 

 

Cosmetic dentistry options in Edinburgh 

At Stuart Steven Dental Practice, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services designed to enhance your smile and boost your confidence.  

Here’s what you can expect to find at our practice:
 

Teeth whitening in Edinburgh 

Brighten your smile with our professional teeth whitening services. Unlike over-the-counter options, our professional whitening provides faster, more effective results because of the stronger agents used, which are safe under dental supervision.  

The process is simple: after a consultation to ensure you're a good candidate, we apply a whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light.  

The result? A noticeably brighter smile in just one visit with your Edinburgh dentist. 
 

Veneers 

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, instantly transforming your smile. Made from porcelain or composite resin, our veneers are great for correcting chips, stains, or gaps.  

They are made to match the natural colour of your teeth and are bonded to your teeth, offering a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. 
 

Adult orthodontics 

Orthodontic treatments aren't just for teens; nowadays adults can benefit from convenient, discreet treatments which are perfectly suited to busy pofessionals who are eager to staighten their smile without the hassle of traditional braces.

We offer a variety of options, including traditional braces and more discreet choices that utilise removable, clear aligners. Our adult orthodontic options include Invisalign, ClearSmile & SureSmile. These methods gradually adjust the alignment of your teeth, improving not only their appearance but also your overall oral health. 
 

Dental implants 

Dental implants are a durable solution for missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium post that serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth, with a crown placed on top to mimic the look and function of a natural tooth.  

Implants can help preserve facial structure and prevent bone loss, making them a superior option to other tooth replacement methods. 
 

Smile makeovers 

We understand that each smile is unique, which is why we offer tailored smile makeovers to fit everyone's needs and goals.  

Here's a breakdown of the smile makeover categories available at our practice: 
 

Mini Smile Makeover 

Our Mini Smile Makeover is perfect for those who are looking for a quick and subtle enhancement. This option might include basic teeth whitening or minor reshaping of the teeth. It's ideal for patients who are generally happy with their smile but want a little boost for a brighter, more uniform look. 
 

More Extensive Smile Makeover 

For those looking to make a more noticeable change, our More Extensive Smile Makeover offers a combination of treatments. This could include advanced teeth whitening, dental veneers, and possibly some dental bonding to address more significant cosmetic concerns such as chips, gaps, or uneven teeth.  

This option is designed to achieve a dramatic improvement without the need for full mouth reconstruction. 
 

Full Mouth Smile Makeover 

Our most comprehensive option, the Full Mouth Smile Makeover, is intended for individuals seeking a complete transformation. This extensive treatment plan may combine several procedures, such as crown and veneers, implants, and orthodontics.  

This category is tailored for those with considerable dental issues that affect not just the appearance but also the function of their teeth. It aims to restore both aesthetics and oral health. 

As your Edinburgh dentist, we’re committed to providing you with a comfortable and positive experience while helping you achieve the smile of your dreams. Whether you're looking to brighten, straighten, or completely transform your smile, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
