The leading cosmetic dentist in Telford other dentists choose

Some people arrive genuinely excited about changing their smile. Plenty of others have been putting the same conversation off for years, and half expect to be told off when they finally have it. Neither of those people gets a lecture. I talk to patients the way I would talk to a friend: what is actually going on, what your options are, what each one really involves, and what I would do if I were sitting where you are.

That is the part I care about. Not the photographs, not the case that wins something. You understanding your own teeth well enough to make the decision yourself, and leaving with a smile you are not thinking about any more. Confidence is the point. The dentistry is just how we get there.

The long way round

Totally Composite is one of the most respected composite bonding courses in the country, and Cameron was asked by esteemed cosmetic dentist, Monik Vasant personally to be a clinical tutor on it. Dentists travel to learn the technique he uses on you, which is an unusual thing to be able to say and the single most useful thing to know about him.

It works in both directions. Teaching a technique forces you to be able to justify every step of it, and it keeps him in the room with the people setting the standard rather than reading about them afterwards. It is also the reason other dentists send him their own cases, and occasionally come to him as patients themselves. There is more on that on the page for referring dentists.

In practice that usually means a sequence rather than a single treatment. Straighten first where the problem is position rather than shape, because moving a tooth into line means far less material has to be added to disguise where it was sitting. Then settle the shade, because whitening lightens natural teeth and does not lighten composite bonding or porcelain. Then add as little as the result needs, at the end. Done in that order, the work is smaller, less invasive and lasts longer.

It also means being told no sometimes. If prep-less veneers are not right for your teeth, you will hear that at the assessment rather than after the enamel has gone. Prep-less does not always mean no preparation, and how much you need can only be confirmed once he has looked properly.

Most people arrive expecting to be sold the biggest treatment plan for what they asked for. What Cameron does instead is work out the smallest plan that gets you where you want to be, in the order that removes the least tooth, and tell you the honest limits out loud.

A good proportion of the people Cameron treats have not seen a dentist in years, and are more worried about the conversation than the treatment. Nobody here is going to tell you off for that. It is far more common than you think, and the state of your teeth is not a moral failing.

Appointments are longer than you are probably used to, which is deliberate. Nothing gets rushed, no question is too small, and you can stop at any point. If previous dental appointments have been difficult, tell treatment coordinator Ellie when she rings and she will make sure Cameron knows before you arrive.
