What Clients Are Saying About OptiSmile

Danielle S.

Dr. Clifford is amazing! I came from the states to do injection molded bonding. I also had my teeth cleaned and whitened. The whole team is friendly, the office is beautiful, and the result is better than I could have imagined. Thank you so much to Dr. Clifford and team 🙌🏼 Highly highly recommend

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 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!!!!!

For the first time in my life I have a smile to be proud of!

Working with OptiSmile over the past 7 months has been nothing short of incredible. The entire team is warm, welcoming and they take the time to make sure the plan they create is suited to your goals. In just 7 months I have gone from having chipped, yellow and misaligned teeth to a clean white smile!

A special thank you to both Dr Harris and Dr Cara. Dr Harris was responsible for getting my teeth into the correct positions and Dr Cara is an artist for what she has done to create my smile! I will be eternally grateful to both, and the entire team for what they have achieved.

If you are looking for a highly skilled and passionate team to help you get the smile you've always wanted, OptiSmile is the way to go.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Bonding can change the colour, shape, or size of your teeth. It can also be used to fill in gaps between your teeth.

The Procedure

The procedure for dental bonding is relatively simple. First, your dentist will select a shade of composite resin that matches your natural tooth colour. They will then roughen up the surface of your tooth so that the resin will adhere properly. Next, they will apply the resin to your tooth and mould it into the desired shape. Finally, they will harden the resin with a strong blue light.

The Results

Dental bonding can provide immediate results that you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come. In most cases, bonding will last for 3-5 years before it needs to be touched up or replaced.

The Pros and Cons of Dental Bonding

There are both pros and cons to dental bonding. On the plus side, dental bonding is a relatively affordable cosmetic procedure. It is also quick and easy to do and doesn’t require any anaesthesia. Dental bonding can also be used to fix cosmetic issues with your teeth. However, there are also some downsides to dental bonding. For one thing, the resins used in dental bonding are not as strong as natural tooth enamel. This means bonded teeth are more susceptible to chipping and breaking than natural teeth. Additionally, bonded teeth may discolour over time. Finally, it’s important to note that not everyone is a good candidate for dental bonding. For example, if you have extensive damage to your teeth or if you have gum disease, then dental bonding may not be suitable for you. OptiSmile uses the latest method of applying composite for bonding using 3D scans, digital smile design and injection moulding to create injection moulded composite veneers if multiple teeth require bonding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dental bonding painful?

Many people are surprised to learn that dental bonding is relatively quick and painless. Dental bonding is often used to treat sensitive teeth because it can help to smooth out rough edges that can cause pain. As such, it is an excellent option for anyone looking for a quick and easy way to improve their smile and sensitive teeth.

What are the advantages of dental bonding?

Dental bonding is a dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-coloured resin to repair damaged teeth or improve the appearance of your smile. Bonding can be used to restore chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth. It can also be used to close gaps between teeth or change the shape of your teeth. Bonding is usually less expensive than other dental procedures. In addition, dental bonding generally requires only one office visit and can be completed in one day. The results of dental bonding are usually not as permanent as other dental procedures, but they typically last for several years with proper care. If you are considering dental bonding, discuss your options with your dentist to determine if it is the best treatment.

What is the recovery time after dental bonding?

Dental bonding typically takes 30-60 minutes to complete. In most cases, dental bonding does not require the use of anaesthesia. However, if the dental bonding is being used to repair a large chip or crack, your dentist may recommend the use of anaesthesia. After the dental bonding procedure is complete, you can expect your tooth to feel sensitive for 24-48 hours. It is important to avoid eating hard or chewy foods during this time. You should also avoid drinks high in acidity, as they can cause dental bonding to become discoloured. Most people who undergo dental bonding experience minimal discomfort and swelling. Recovery time after dental bonding is typically short, and you can expect to see results that last for several years.
