At Clifton Dental Studio, we offer an ever-expanding collection of treatments designed to banish dental disease, boost confidence and create beautiful smiles. We offer smile rejuvenation and reconstruction for those in need of extensive repair and will have you smiling with confidence again in no time.
What is smile rejuvenation?
Smile rejuvenation, also known as smile reconstruction, is a technique that aims to rebuild and repair damaged teeth and create a more attractive smile. This procedure is generally recommended for those who have sustained extensive damage as a result of an accident or injury, severe decay or infection.
We use a series of restorative treatments to achieve a new smile and Dr Neil Gerrard has extensive experience in this area, winning awards for past case studies.
Planning your treatment
Planning is an essential part of the treatment process and we carry out a range of tests, examinations and scans to assess your level of need and ascertain what kinds of treatments would be most beneficial for you. We involve our clients in every step of the process and discuss the options at length. We also invite you to bring in photographs so we can design your new smile in line with your ideas and preferences.
The treatment process
The process differs for every patient because the choice of treatments varies. We make sure that every client has a clear idea of what is happening when and schedule appointments to fit in with the time-frame as well as our patients’ schedules. Any preparatory work is undertaken first and then the new restorations, be it an implant, a bridge or a crown, are placed. The end result is a reinvigorated, beautiful smile and improved oral function.

About smile rejuvenation
We use a wide range of restorative techniques to rejuvenate the smile and address aesthetic flaws. Each individual case is different and the sequence of treatments we use may vary. During the consultation stage, we assess your level of need, identify specific issues to address and draw up effective solutions. We discuss treatment options with you, go through some ideas and talk to you about the expected results, your treatment aims and other factors such as cost, how treatment will affect you, what the processes entail and how long treatment will take. We are always here to answer any questions and put worries to bed, so don’t hesitate to contact us.
The treatment options we may use for complete smile rejuvenation include:
crowns
porcelain veneers
dental bridges
dental implants
The treatment process
Once the planning stage is complete, we can set about creating your brand new smile. The preparation phases differ for each treatment and we plan your treatment pathway in meticulous detail. We will inform you when each stage is due to happen and let you know exactly what to expect. In the case of dental implant treatment, it may be necessary to carry out bone grafting and that will be discussed with you if this is the case. Grafting may be needed if you lack density and strength in the jaw bone. Once preparation is complete, we can set about fitting the new restorations and you will eventually be able to catch a glimpse of your amazing new smile in the mirror and then enjoy showing it off to your family and friends.
A gummy smile is a cosmetic dental issue that is corrected easily and effectively with gum contouring treatment. A gummy smile is not something that threatens oral or general health or causes you to experience any painful symptoms. However, it can affect your confidence and many people who have a gummy smile feel self-conscious when they talk or show their teeth to other people.
A gummy smile is the name given to the appearance of the smile when there is a large amount of gum tissue covering the teeth. It often means that the teeth look short and small. As your smile is one of your most noticeable features, it’s understandable that you would feel uncomfortable when it is in the limelight and seek ways to make it look more attractive. With gum contouring treatment, we can help to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile and ensure that you don’t want to hide away in the future.
What is gum contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a technique used to balance the aesthetic of the smile by decreasing the amount of gum tissue that can be seen when you smile and shaping the gums to create a more attractive look. This procedure involves taking away extremely small pieces of the gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown. The teeth look longer and larger and the overall look of the smile is greatly improved.
If you have uneven gums or you dislike the appearance of your smile, we can help. Call today to book an appointment and see how we could transform your gummy smile and boost your confidence.

Using the latest treatments, we can create stunning new smiles to ensure you start the New Year looking and feeling a million dollars.

Smile rejuvenation treatment is designed to transform broken, worn and missing teeth into beautiful, healthy looking smiles.

What does treatment involve?
There are various different treatments that can be used as part of smile rejuvenation treatment, and we tailor the treatment plan to suit the individual’s needs. The planning stage is really important, as it enables us to assess your needs and find effective solutions to improve your oral health and the aesthetic of your smile. Your dentist will explore different options with you and explain how treatments work and how they could benefit you.
Once your treatment plan has been devised, your dentist will talk you through the procedures and ensure that you understand what is going to happen when. Treatment times vary according to the treatments you have, and some take less than an hour while others can take months.

What is cosmetic contouring?
Cosmetic contouring is a procedure that is used to improve the look of individual teeth and create a healthier, more attractive looking smile. Often, the changes we make to the individual teeth are very minor, but the overall impact is amazing.
This is an effective solution for patients who have chipped, misshapen and worn teeth and the best news is that it is completely painless.
Our dentists use their skill and expertise to gently reshape and contour the teeth, smoothing rough edges and improving the shape of individual teeth to create a beautiful smile.
We can offer cosmetic contouring alone, combined with tooth whitening, or as part of a series of treatments that make up a smile makeover.
We can also offer cosmetic bonding, a quick and painless procedure used to improve the look of chipped and worn teeth, for misshapen teeth and worn tooth surfaces. This process involves using dental composite to patch up the teeth and make the smile look incredible.
If you’d like to find out more about cosmetic contouring, don’t hesitate to call us and arrange a consultation. We can talk you through the treatment process, identify areas that could benefit from treatment and give you an idea of what you can expect to see when you look in the mirror after the procedure.
With smile rejuvenation, we are able to bring about complete transformations to enable you to enjoy a beautiful smile and bags of confidence. If you’re longing for a healthy-looking, youthful smile, this could be just the solution!

The treatment process
Before any treatment is carried out, Dr Gerrard will provide a consultation to examine the mouth and assess the patient’s needs. During the consultation, X-rays will be taken and the bite will be analysed. This information will be used to plan treatment and design the new smile. Dr Gerrard discusses the treatment processes and procedures with patients and he is always available to answer questions or explain how treatment work and why they would be beneficial. Once planning is complete, treatment can begin!
Cases may be different and therefore costs, treatment time and procedures may vary. Dr Gerrard will explain the schedule and also go through each procedure so that patients have a clear understanding of what happens when and what each session will entail.
