Treatments

Small changes, big confidence.

Every treatment starts with a consultation, so we can talk through what bothers you about your smile and which options suit you.

  • Teeth straighteningClear aligners

    A series of near-invisible, removable aligners that move your teeth gradually into place. You can take them out to eat and brush, and most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.

    Good for crowding, gaps and mild to moderate misalignment.

  • Composite bondingShape & repair

    Tooth-coloured composite is sculpted onto your teeth to rebuild chipped, worn or uneven edges. It is often done in one visit, with little or no drilling of your natural teeth.

    Good for chips, small gaps, worn edges and uneven lengths.

  • Composite veneersHand-sculpted

    Thin layers of composite over the front of your teeth to change their shape, colour and proportion. Each veneer is built up and polished by hand in the chair.

    Good for refreshing several teeth at once, especially the upper front teeth.

  • Teeth whiteningDentist-supervised

    Professional whitening, prescribed and supervised by your dentist, to brighten teeth safely and evenly.

    Good for stains from coffee, tea or smoking, and teeth that have darkened with age.

  • Smile makeoversA combined plan

    Sometimes the best result comes from combining treatments, for example straightening first, then whitening and bonding. We plan it together, step by step.

    Good for anyone who wants an overall change rather than one small fix.

Meet your dentist

Dr Nayana Sawant

I qualified as a dentist in India in 2003, and I’ve been looking after patients for 23 years. Today my work centres on cosmetic dentistry: teeth straightening, composite bonding, veneers and whitening.

When someone finally loves their smile, their confidence changes and their personality stands out.

That is what I love about this work. Many of my patients have been unhappy with their teeth for years. When we find the right solution and they see the result, it can change their life. Helping someone feel that confident is why I do what I do.

Plenty of people who come to me are nervous about the dentist. I go out of my way to make you feel comfortable, explain every step, and keep your treatment relaxed, with close attention to detail throughout.
