    The art of cosmetic dentistry

    Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile while maintaining long-term dental health. From subtle improvements to full smile makeovers, our cosmetic dentists use advanced digital technology to achieve results that are both flawless and functional.

    At our London smile clinic, every smile is unique. Each treatment plan begins with a detailed consultation, where we assess your dental concerns, listen to your goals, and design a personalised plan for transformation.

    Our cosmetic dentistry treatments

    We offer a complete range of cosmetic dentistry treatments in London that help you achieve a balanced, natural smile.

    Porcelain veneers and dental veneers

    Porcelain veneers are thin, handcrafted shells placed on the front of your teeth to improve shape, colour, and symmetry. Designed by our specialist dentists and master technicians, each veneer is custom-made to match your natural teeth and facial proportions.

    We also provide composite bonding veneers, a more affordable and minimally invasive alternative that uses advanced resin materials to produce seamless results.

    Veneers: from £1,700 per tooth

    Composite bonding and cosmetic bonding

    Composite bonding repairs chips, uneven edges, and discolouration using a tooth-coloured resin that is sculpted and polished by hand. This is a quick, comfortable treatment that can be completed in a single appointment.

    Composite bonding is ideal for a mini smile makeover and can be combined with teeth whitening for an instantly brighter, more even appearance.

    Composite bonding: from £390 per tooth

    Teeth whitening and tooth whitening

    Our professional teeth whitening treatments lift stains and lighten your smile by several shades using safe, effective systems such as Enlighten and Philips Zoom.

    We offer several whitening options:

    • In-office whitening: £550
    • Home whitening trays and gel: £550
    • Zoom teeth whitening including home kit: £950
    • Internal bleaching (for non-vital teeth): £650

    Both in-surgery and at-home whitening options are available, giving you the flexibility to achieve a brighter smile in a way that fits your lifestyle.

    Dental crowns and restorative dentistry

    For damaged or heavily filled teeth, porcelain crowns restore strength and beauty while blending naturally with your existing teeth. Crafted in our on-site laboratory, our crowns offer excellent durability and a natural translucency.

    Our restorative dentistry experts work closely with our cosmetic dentists to ensure your teeth look and function perfectly.

    Crown: from £1,600

    Dental implants for missing teeth

    Dental implants replace missing teeth with a fixed, long-term solution that feels and functions like your own. Our implant surgeon and restorative specialists design each implant with precision to match your smile perfectly and restore complete confidence.

    Gummy smile correction and gum lift

    If your gums are more visible when you smile, we can perform a gum lift or gummy smile makeover to rebalance the proportion of teeth to gums. This can be combined with veneers or bonding for a refined, symmetrical result.

    Smile makeovers and mini smile makeovers

    A smile makeover brings together several cosmetic dentistry options, such as veneers, whitening, bonding, and implants, into a single, cohesive plan. Using digital smile design, our cosmetic dentists preview your future smile before treatment begins to ensure you are completely confident in the final result.

    A mini smile makeover focuses on small but impactful improvements using bonding and whitening, perfect for patients who want fast, elegant results.

    Smile makeover: from £2,500

    Why choose a cosmetic dentist in London?

    Choosing a cosmetic dentist in London, particularly in Harley Street, gives you access to some of the most skilled clinicians in the world. Our team brings together more than 75 years of combined experience in cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry, supported by continuous professional development and global collaboration.

    Our clinic attracts patients from across the UK and internationally who value precision, discretion, and artistry. We combine technology and craftsmanship to create results that look natural, last for years, and enhance your facial harmony.

    How long does cosmetic dentistry last?

    When carried out by an experienced cosmetic dentist, treatments can last for many years:
    Veneers: 15 to 20 years
    Composite bonding: 5 to 10 years
    Crowns and implants: often decades

    We use advanced materials, precision-milled ceramics, and German-engineered systems to maximise the lifespan and natural appearance of every result. Longevity also depends on maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular check-ups.

    Can I have a smile makeover without braces?

    Yes. Many patients achieve transformative results without orthodontic treatment. Using veneers, composite bonding, and teeth whitening, our dentists can reshape and align your smile visually, creating symmetry and balance.

    Our team uses digital smile simulation before any work begins so you can preview your result. This minimally invasive approach is ideal for patients who want fast, elegant results with no downtime.

    Where do celebrities get their teeth done in London?

    Many well-known individuals choose Harley Street for cosmetic dentistry due to its world-class reputation for excellence. Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, located in the heart of Marylebone, offers the same level of precision and discretion trusted by celebrity clients, professionals, and executives seeking refined, natural-looking results.

    What is a mini smile makeover?

    A mini smile makeover is a focused treatment designed to enhance your smile in just one or two visits. It usually combines composite bonding and teeth whitening, although veneers or contouring may also be included.

    Our dentists use digital smile planning to ensure perfect proportions and aesthetic harmony. The result is a confident, refreshed smile that looks completely natural.

    How can you fix a gummy smile?

    A gummy smile can be treated through laser gum contouring, surgical gum lifting, or with veneers and bonding to lengthen the teeth visually. Our clinicians are experts in periodontal aesthetics, which allows for precise adjustments that balance the gum-to-tooth ratio for a natural, symmetrical smile.

    Are cosmetic treatments painful?

    Our cosmetic treatments are designed to be comfortable and minimally invasive. Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, and we also offer sedation for anxious patients.

    Our Harley Street clinic uses the latest digital scanners and microscope-assisted techniques, which reduce discomfort and allow for faster healing. Most patients are surprised at how easy and relaxing their treatment experience is.

    Do you only treat celebrities at your dental practice?

    No. While our clinic is trusted by many high-profile individuals, we treat patients from all walks of life. Everyone receives the same level of artistry, attention, and world-class dental care. We believe that every patient deserves access to exceptional cosmetic dentistry, not just the few.

    Can I replace missing teeth with implants?

    Yes. Our implant surgeon, Prof Dr Christian Mehl, and his specialist team use advanced imaging and digital-guided surgery to restore missing teeth with dental implants that look, feel, and function like your own.

    We also provide All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch treatments for complete restoration, all meticulously designed to integrate beautifully with your facial structure.

    Is cosmetic dentistry available on the NHS to patients?

    Cosmetic dentistry is considered elective and is not normally available through the NHS. However, our private cosmetic dentistry services offer superior quality, durability, and artistry, supported by flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible.

    Confused about your cosmetic dentistry options and other dental treatments?

    If you are unsure which treatment best suits your dental needs, our team will guide you through every stage. During your free consultation, we take detailed scans, discuss your goals, and explain every treatment option clearly.
