What Is Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentists improve the appearance of teeth and optimise your smile. Cosmetic dentistry involves a great deal of skill and artistry. We use great technologies to work with our patients to create their ideal smile. This is also why we sometimes refer to cosmetic dentistry as smile design and use digital technologies to assist in extensive smile transformations for our patients.

When attending special events and functions, the focus is often on enjoying delicious food, spending time with great company, and capturing memorable pictures. In today’s world of social media, it’s important to put your best face forward in each photo, and a radiant smile plays a crucial role in achieving this goal.

Having a beautiful smile can boost your confidence and make you more approachable in social, professional or romantic situations. Our dentists offer smile makeovers that can address various dental issues and give you a complete smile transformation.

Opting for a complete smile transformation might seem daunting at first. However, a smile makeover is a gradual process that involves a series of minor procedures. Our end goal is to enhance the appearance of your teeth by making them whiter, straighter, and more uniform, all while maintaining a completely natural look.

Our dentists consider various components to give you a gorgeous smile, including your facial appearance, skin tone, hair colour, teeth (colour, width, length, shape, and tooth display), gum tissue and lips. Smile makeovers are performed for many reasons and customised according to your unique considerations.

Depending on your desired results, we will recommend a series of cosmetic and functional procedures. The most common treatments in a smile makeover are teeth whitening, composite bonding, Invisalign and dental veneers. We also recommend implants where teeth have been lost.

These procedures have stunning results on their own but drastically change your smile when combined! Modern cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the teeth you’ve always wanted, no matter what the current state of your smile. So if you wish to whiten your teeth, straighten your smile, or correct an unsightly bite misalignment—our team will help you find a solution.

I got injection molded composite bonding and Dr. Clifford was the GOAT! I was visiting from overseas and on a tight schedule and he was more than accommodating. Something I really loved too was the fact that their practice has all the new technology for dentistry, so essentially everything you’re getting is really precise to your needs. Dr. Clifford is also a phenomenal human, world traveler, experience from all over the world, friendly and easy going, and really does care about his patients. I wish he was my regular dentist here in the US, I’d totally go to him. Thank you Dr. Clifford for showing me what the best should look like! 🙂

This is probably the best dental clinic in the world. My partner has already had a new smile, which she is completely satisfied with. She inspired me to also have my teeth beautified by Doctor Cara. The result is absolutely brilliant. The whole team, from reception to the assistants, are extremely friendly and you feel that you are in very good hands here. The clinic has the most modern infrastructure.

Nothing is truer from the moment you walk through the doors and are greeted by the amazing front desk staff and made to feel so welcome. The team at OptiSmile is nothing but professional, patient and a team of incredible and warming people.

Dr Cara is so professional and guided me throughout the whole process and procedure. Dr Cara uncovered other areas where attention was needed and plans were put together that made me leave with a big smile.

Thank you OptiSmile for the experience and for being an exceptional team.

I had an outstanding experience with OptiSmile! The personal service I received from Verona and Dr. Clifford was truly exceptional.

The team at OptiSmile is incredibly professional, well-informed, and genuinely cares about their patients. I’ve already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Emmanuel P.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Keira and her amazing team! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. Dr. Keira is incredibly skilled, attentive, and truly cares about her patients’ comfort and well-being. She took the time to explain every step of the treatment process, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable throughout.

Her assistant was equally exceptional—friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help. The office itself is spotless and equipped with the latest technology, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

Thanks to Dr. Keira, I left with a healthy, beautiful smile and a great appreciation for the care and expertise they provide. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for top-notch dental care!

The team at optismile has changed the way I look at dentistry. I use to fear going to the dentist, they make you feel so comfortable and welcomed.
They are not just your regular “reactive” dentist, a full assessment prior to your consult ensures a proactive approach to your dental health.
All the expertise you need in one place.
I now smile with confidence thanks to them!!
Friendly professional service.
I cannot recommend them enough.
The only thing I regret is not getting to them earlier.

Stephanie F.
I could not recommend Optismile enough! The reception staff are always so friendly & helpful, the practice environment is so clean & beautiful with amazing views, and the dental experts are, in my opinion, absolutely world class! I switched to Optismile when I wasn't happy with what was supposed to be the end result of my Invisalign treatment with another provider... Dr Smeyatsky was phenomenal, and he immediately understood why I wasn't yet satisfied & made a plan for me. The final result was exactly what I had always envisioned! Upon his advice, I also had some composite bonding done on two of my teeth after my treatment, which elevated my smile even further, while still looking natural & not giving that "overly done" look. Optismile has given me so much confidence in my smile. I'm so happy I chose this practice & every year without fail when I visit home from the UK, I go back for oral hygiene & a dental check-up to maintain the smile I now have. Every visit continues to be a delight!

I have been at many tooth doctors around the globe but the services especially Invisalign is unique in terms of quality, price and the human factor. Thank you 🙏

Laure P.
I met Dr Clifford with the dream of having a beautiful smile that I wouldn't be ashamed anymore, as well as fixing few issues. Very quickly, within the first appointment, he had my trust. Despite being scared of not looking like me anymore, he and his team made sure that I was looked after during the few weeks leading to the big day. Now, after working on more than 8 teeth, doing the bonding, I have so happy and can't stop smiling!!! He gave me back my confidence and I also feel more confident that the issues I had, are now dealt with. All without damaging or removing any of my teeth. I am very grateful and can't recommend them all enough!!!!!

The dentists and their assistants are also so friendly and make me feel right at home when I arrive. I highly reccomend them, their services are 10/10!

It`s as easy as ABC.

The most common procedures used in cosmetic dentistry can be reasonably simple. Still, others are more complex and require specialised care.  

A - Aligning – Invisalign

Cosmetic Dentistry 27

The most advanced orthodontic and highly active aligners are in Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that utilises clear, plastic aligners to straighten teeth in two-week increments. After the two weeks are up, you will switch out your set of aligners for the next aligner set in your straightening series. Invisalign aligners are designed for your unique smile and treatment plan. They can move the teeth with gentle force to close gaps, reduce crowding, and fix minor bite alignment issues, such as overbites and underbites. OptiSmile is the first dental practice in Africa to use the Itero scanner. Have you always wanted straighter teeth but been afraid of the pain, the inconvenience of eating, and the appearance of a “tin grin”? Are you active and want to align your teeth? Invisalign won’t interfere with your daily activities. Unlike unconventional braces, Invisalign allows precise adjustments at specific points in your mouth instead of putting pressure on all your teeth that have been “wired in”. Worldwide over 11 million people have experienced the benefit of Invisalign clear orthodontics without having braces. It’s a great, non-invasive alternative that can get results faster than conventional braces, perfect for adults and teens who don’t want traditional railway tracks. In addition, you can join the excellent smile club. 

B - Bleaching - Teeth Whitening

Cosmetic Dentistry 28

The ultimate last-minute cosmetic touch-up – teeth whitening gives you a bright, beautiful smile without discomfort. We can brighten your smile with several shades in a single session, so this is a perfect last-minute addition to your party prep!
Teeth whitening is done once plaque, tartar and other debris are cleaned from the surface of each tooth, restoring their natural appearance. Teeth can also be bleached to achieve an even lighter shade than this original colour. Unfortunately, with time teeth become stained and worn from food, drinks, medication and bad personal habits like smoking. At OptiSmile, we have options that can be done in-chair or at home. 

C - Composite Bonding

Cosmetic Dentistry 29

Composite bonding refers to the repair of decayed, damaged, or discoloured teeth using material that resembles the colour of tooth enamel. At OptiSmile, we use our Leica microscope to detect the problem, remove the tooth decay and then apply the composite onto the tooth’s surface. This effectively covers the damage to the tooth and gives the appearance of a healthy tooth in its place. Bonding is a less expensive cosmetic dentistry procedure for patients with tooth decay or chipped, cracked or broken teeth.
The art of applying a composite resin to your teeth to fix teeth with cosmetic and structural issues. The newest techniques are minimally invasive – leaving you with more of your own tooth structure and a beautiful finish.

This has largely been replaced by computer-guided injection moulded composite bonding or veneers.

Implants

Dental implants are used to replace teeth after a tooth loss. Firstly we use our Orthophos 3D X-Ray to view and identify the area where a small titanium screw will be inserted into the jaw. The screw will serve as the support for a crown. The implants are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding natural teeth, and once the bone and supporting tissue fuse to the implant, they are permanently secured into place.

At OptiSmile, we believe that cosmetic dentistry should enhance the health and appearance of a patient’s smile. We use innovative solutions to optimise your bite and dental health while giving you a sparkling smile. If you’re considering any cosmetic dentistry procedures, contact OptiSmile now. We have a highly qualified dental team with the latest in dental technology available to perform any cosmetic procedures above.

Inlays, Onlays and Overlays

Also known as indirect ceramic fillings (created with CEREC technology), which are used when a tooth has mild to moderate decay, or there isn’t enough tooth structure to support a filling. 

Provided there is no damage to the tooth cusps, the inlay is placed directly onto the tooth surface. However, when the cusps of the crown or a more significant portion of the tooth are damaged, an onlay or overlay is used instead to cover the tooth’s entire surface.
Inlays and Onlays are made at OptiSmile from the best-performing Emax Ceramic and attached to the teeth with adhesive dental cement. They support and strengthen your teeth, restoring their shape and avoiding further deterioration or decay.

Dental Veneers

Porcelain Veneers never fail to amaze – they can cover a chip, hide a crack, make discolouration disappear, or correct a misshapen tooth, and the results are gorgeous. Moreover, the process is surprisingly quick, with minimal recovery time.
Veneers Are basically caps designed to cover the front surface of your tooth or many teeth. Dental veneers are made individually for each patient to resemble their natural teeth. We use our advanced CAD/CAM technology. As a result, they look exceptionally realistic and can resolve numerous cosmetic problems, such as crooked teeth, cracked or damaged enamel and even noticeable gaps between two teeth. Veneers are applied to the front of each tooth using a dental adhesive.

Dental insurance plans typically don’t cover cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, Invisalign, or bonding. However, some insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost if the procedure is considered medically necessary. For example, if you need Invisalign to correct an overbite, your insurance might cover part of the cost, although they generally opt for braces, despite Invisaligns superior capabilities.
