Are you tired of wearing braces but still unhappy with your smile?

This patient came to us after two rounds of orthodontics, still feeling frustrated by a dominant canine, peg-shaped lateral incisors, and a narrow smile. She was understandably finished with braces, so we took a completely different approach.

Using digital smile design, we agreed on the perfect result before starting. By gently recontouring the canine and placing bespoke composite veneers on her premolars and lateral incisors, we were able to beautifully widen her smile and restore natural proportions—entirely without further orthodontics.

Many patients seek to restore symmetry and health to their smile. For this patient, historical gum recession had created 'black triangles', whilst enamel wear resulted in sensitivity and a yellowed appearance. By taking a biological approach, we utilised composite bonding and composite veneers to safely rebuild the lost enamel and close the spaces—entirely without invasive tooth preparation or further whitening. The investment in this minimally invasive treatment allowed her to smile with confidence in time for her wedding. Discover how we can support your long-term dental health through our complimentary e-consultation.

Are you unhappy with the appearance of an old dental bridge?

A patient recently visited me wanting to improve a bridge placed by a previous dentist. The colour was not quite right and the supporting tooth underneath had darkened after a root treatment. While he plans for a dental implant in the future he wanted a high quality natural looking solution for right now.

We carefully removed the old bridge and gently recontoured the gums so the new false tooth would look like it was emerging naturally. After allowing the gums to heal we placed a bespoke porcelain bridge that perfectly masked the dark tooth and blended seamlessly with his smile.

Is teeth straightening just for aesthetics? Not always.

A patient recently came to see me for a routine check up. We noticed early signs of tooth wear on her lower teeth due to an uneven bite. Her priority was long term health, not cosmetics, so we used Invisalign to realign her teeth and distribute the biting forces safely.

The result? Her teeth are now protected from future wear, her bite is stable, and as an unexpected bonus, she feels far more confident smiling in social settings. Sometimes, the best aesthetic results come from focusing purely on function and prevention.

Read the full case study on the Matt Dash Dentist website to learn how protecting your bite can protect your teeth.

Many people assume that teeth straightening is purely about aesthetics. However, at Matt Dash Dentist in Edinburgh’s West End, we frequently use orthodontic treatments to protect teeth from long term damage. A common question patients ask is whether straightening their teeth can prevent tooth wear...

Has your root treated tooth changed colour over time?

In my latest blog, I explain why a root canal tooth can turn dark and what treatment options may help restore a natural appearance.

This is something patients ask me quite often. A tooth that has had root canal treatment can sometimes change colour over time. It may look grey, darker than the surrounding teeth, or slightly dull. In most cases, this colour change is gradual. It is usually not painful, but it can…

Not all white spots on teeth need drilling. In my latest blog, I explain when non invasive treatment may be an option and how white spots can sometimes be improved without removing tooth structure.

What are white spots on teeth? White spots on teeth are areas where the enamel looks lighter than the surrounding tooth. They are often noticed after orthodontic treatment, but they can appear for other reasons too. These marks are usually caused by changes in the mineral content of enamel. In…
