Types of Cosmetic Dental Treatments in Melton
At Melton Dental Group, we provide you with a range of cosmetic dental treatments to enhance or even transform your smile into a brand-new set of pearly whites! Whether you have discoloured, misaligned, missing, chipped or cracked teeth, a gummy smile or a combination of such dental issues, cosmetic dentistry can enhance or entirely transform your smile according to your individual needs. Let’s take you through what we have to offer you in cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth Whitening
Radiate confidence with a brighter smile
We love whitening teeth at Melton Dental Group, as it brings such a quick boost in confidence for our patients! If you have dull, yellow, or discoloured teeth, teeth whitening at Melton Dental Group could be exactly what you need to bring the brightness back to your smile, leaving you smiling confidently all day!
There can be many reasons for discoloured teeth, such as smoking, drinking highly pigmented beverages such as coffee, and red wine, consumption of long-term antibiotics, and aging. Any of these could darken your tooth shade and dampen your confidence when you speak or smile.
Gummy Smiles
Is your smile too 'Gummy'?
Gummy smiles can be a great cause of embarrassment for some, as when you smile, a large level of the gums show and may look esthetically unpleasant. This occurs due to either the lip level being raised higher than normal while smiling or the gum level being lower than desirable, covering the tooth surfaces and making them appear smaller in relationship to the gums when smiling.
For any reason, gummy smiles hinder confidence levels and may prevent you from smiling freely and confidently, which we definitely don’t want you to face when you visit us at Melton Dental Group!
Lip Fillers & Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Get the perfect smile
Do you feel like your lips disappear when you smile, or stretch out too much? Fillers are a great way to add some natural volume to your lips along with anti-wrinkle injections to reduce the activity in your smile muscles when you’re laughing and smiling widely. Both are not permanent, last up to 3-6 months, and can be redone according to your need and preference, and are excellent non-invasive choices to enhance your already great smile!
Smile Makeover
Completely transform your smile
We perform complete smile makeovers for patients with extensive dental issues, with the need for dental prostheses such as crowns and bridges, extractions, implants, root canal treatments, veneers, fillings, and gum re-contouring.
We have many patients who require multiple extensive treatments to bring their mouth back to full form and function, and full mouth rehabilitation is what we do best, combining our team of specialists who are all there to not only support you but give you the best possible treatment through their experience and vast knowledge.
Dental Veneers
Renew your smile with veneers
Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers, are thin shells of layered porcelain. They are hand-crafted and custom-designed for your teeth alone to enhance their shape, colour and size, to hide any imperfections and minor misalignments of your teeth. They are a popular choice among those who seek a drastic change for chipped, misaligned or severely stained teeth.
The process typically involves two visits to the dentist – one to prepare the teeth and another to place the veneers. Veneers are a good choice for a long-lasting solution as it is durable and can last 10–15 years with proper care.
What’s the process for Dental Veneers?
- When you visit us for your initial consultation, we take digital images and discuss in detail what you would like to have altered about your smile. We use a 3D scanner to assess all dimensions of your teeth, and study their shape, size, and relationship with your gums.
- Once we have a detailed image of your mouth, we are able to design your smile using a smile design software with the help of our highly experienced cosmetic dentists. The colour of the veneers is decided with you using a simulated shade guide so that you like the final shade and know what looks natural with your overall appearance!
- After digitally designing your custom veneers and showing you your future smile, we then begin the process of preparing your teeth for the veneers in the subsequent visit, which involves removing a minimally thin layer of 0.3-0.7mm of your enamel surface, to allow space for the veneers to fit naturally. This allows space for your veneers to fit naturally and resume their function of serving as your brand-new teeth!

Teeth Whitening
Radiate confidence with a brighter smile.
We love whitening teeth at Melton Dental Group, as it brings such a quick boost of confidence for our patients! If you have dull, yellow or discoloured teeth, teeth whitening at Melton Dental Group could be exactly what you need to bring the brightness back to your smile, leaving you smiling confidently all day!
There can be many reasons for discoloured teeth, such as smoking, drinking highly pigmented beverages such as coffee, and red wine, consumption of long-term antibiotics and ageing. After your initial consultation with our expert cosmetic dentists, we will book you in for your whitening appointment and carry out all necessary cleanings and gum treatments should you require them beforehand. Old fillings don’t change colour and will look darker than your newly whitened teeth, hence they too require replacement once the treatment is completed.
The process of in-office teeth whitening is quite simple and we use ZOOM! Tooth whitening kits at Melton Dental Group. During the bleaching process, we isolate your gums and lips to protect them from the bleaching agent, leaving only the teeth exposed. We then apply the bleach gel directly onto the tooth surfaces that require whitening. An LED blue light is then placed in front of your teeth to ‘activate’ the bleaching agents in the gel to start whitening your teeth. The whole process is over in an hour and you leave with 2-6 shades brighter, whiter, and shinier teeth than before!
To keep your whitening lasting longer, we also provide you with custom-made trays for your teeth after taking an impression and providing less concentrated bleach that you can use at home for two weeks post-in-office whitening treatment. This greatly improves the longevity of your whitening treatment and can be done for an hour every day at your convenience!
Gummy Smiles

Gummy smiles hinder confidence levels and may prevent you from smiling freely and confidently, which we definitely don’t want you to face when you visit us at Melton Dental Group!
Our expert team of specialists can perform gum reduction surgery either surgically or with a laser, depending on your individual needs! The gums are simply reshaped or reduced with immense precision to expose more tooth surfaces giving your smile a more balanced, symmetrical look. There is a short healing time after surgery, but the results are permanent and absolutely life-changing! Gum contouring is often combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as veneers or crowns for a fully enhanced appearance.
Another way of treating a gummy smile at Melton Dental Group is to have Botox injections, to reduce the activity in your smile muscles when you laugh or smile wide. The results are very subtle, and will simply cause your lip to relax when you smile, hiding your gums further and reducing the overall appearance of your gummy smile!
