Our front teeth are those most visible when we smile, and when they’re beautifully aligned, white and well-shaped, they can enhance the beauty of the whole face. However, structural defects and small cosmetic flaws can leave you feeling like you don’t wish to smile, but don’t fret. Here are 4 treatments we offer here at Corner House Dental in Norwich that can work wonders for the aesthetic of your front teeth, also known as the ‘social six’.
Six Month Smiles
Whilst most orthodontic treatments focus on correcting all your teeth, Six Month Smiles focuses on only those most visible when you smile. Six Month Smiles is the ideal treatment if you’d like your teeth to look great for a forthcoming occasion like a wedding or anniversary.
Correcting defects like crowding, gaps or misalignment with your front teeth can make a significant difference to the way your whole face look. Well-structured teeth help to balance your facial features and gives you a symmetrical smile. This can have a beneficial knock-on effect on your confidence and your desire to smile for photos and selfies!

Applies low force pressure: the brace gently guides your teeth into position using low force pressure, making them a more comfortable alternative to traditional fixed braces.
Short treatment time: The average treatment time with Six Month Smiles is 6 month, though it can span from anywhere between4-9 months, depending on the issue being treated.
Veneers
Veneers have a fascinating history, dating back to the days of Hollywood in the 1930s. Since being used purely for actors’ teeth on screen, veneers have evolved to become a premium treatment for restoring patients’ smiles. Veneers are now securely bonded with a strong adhesive and carefully crafted to look like a real tooth.
The benefits

They produce beautiful results: thanks to the porcelain material from which they’re made, veneers bear a great resemblance to real teeth.
Tooth bonding
Tooth bonding is a cost-effective alternative to veneers and similarly, treatment works to address discolouration, cracks and chips in your teeth. Bonding can also be used to re-shape a tooth, to fit in amongst neighbouring teeth. A little like veneers, tooth bonding is principally cosmetic, but is more cost-effective. However, it’s also less durable – a bonded tooth will usually last a maximum of 8-10 years, whilst you can expect a veneers to last for 15 years.
The benefits
Built up from composite resin layers: when a tooth is bonded, the composite material is built up by your dentist in layer, which results in a highly authentic-looking result that mimics the properties of real tooth enamel.
Straightforward treatment: composite bonding can be completed in just one appointment.
Minimally-invasive: no needles or drilling is involved.
