Cosmetic dentistry in Telford, planned to remove less
Composite bonding, prep-less veneers, Invisalign, whitening and full smile design, all planned by Dr Cameron Bagry in the order that takes away the least tooth. He was asked to be a clinical tutor teaching bonding to other dentists.
Most people arrive expecting to be sold the biggest treatment plan
They have usually looked at veneers, because veneers are what the internet shows you. Quite often veneers are not the answer, or not the whole answer, and the thing actually bothering them is the position of a tooth rather than its shape or its shade.
Cosmetic dentistry done properly is a sequence, not a product. Move the teeth into line first where that is the issue, because a tooth in the right place needs far less added to it. Settle the shade next, because composite and porcelain do not lighten once they are made. Then add as little as the result needs, at the very end. Done in that order the work is smaller, cheaper, less invasive and lasts longer. Done in the wrong order it is none of those things.
Straight, then shade, then shape.

How to work out which treatment you need
The short answer is that you do not have to. That is the job of the consultation, and it is why there are two appointments rather than one.
Start with what bothers you, not with a treatment name

Meet your cosmetic dentist, Dr Cameron Bagry
Cameron is a cosmetic and restorative dentist in Telford. He holds a postgraduate diploma in cosmetic and restorative dentistry and a diploma in minimally invasive dentistry, and Totally Composite, one of the UK’s most respected bonding courses, asked him to be a clinical tutor teaching the technique to other dentists.
He plans every case himself, and seven of the nurses at his own practice have chosen to be treated by him, which is the review he is proudest of. He will also tell you when a smaller plan, or no treatment at all, is the better answer.
The questions patients actually ask us in Telford
If yours is not here, ask treatment coordinator Ellie when she rings, or call us. Nobody minds.
That depends on whether the thing bothering you is the shape, the position, the shade or the gum line, and often it is more than one of them. It is the question the consultation exists to answer. What you can be sure of is that you will be told the smallest option that gets you there, not the largest one that fits.
No. Cameron routinely talks people out of the bigger version, usually by pointing out that straightening first means far less needs adding at the end. He provides both the alignment and the restorative work, so there is no commercial reason to steer you either way.
Done conservatively and planned properly, yes. The risk in cosmetic dentistry comes from removing healthy tooth that did not need removing, which is exactly what a minimally invasive approach is designed to avoid. Every treatment has limits and risks, and Cameron will explain the ones relevant to your case before anything starts.
People ask, so here is the honest version. It is cheaper and some of it is done well. What you are paying for here is the planning before anything happens, the same clinician from start to finish, an approach built around removing as little tooth as possible, and somebody who is still here in two years if an edge chips. Compare what is included rather than the headline figure.
Bonding is usually one appointment. Whitening runs over about two weeks at home. Invisalign depends on how far the teeth have to move. A full smile makeover combining several of those is usually a few months rather than a few weeks, because doing it in the right order takes time and doing it quickly costs you tooth.
No, and most of Cameron’s cosmetic patients do not. Routine care stays exactly where it is. You come here for the cosmetic work and go back to your own practice for check-ups.
Not for cosmetic reasons. The NHS funds treatment that is clinically necessary rather than treatment that changes how a healthy tooth looks. All of Cameron’s cosmetic work is private.
Start with a conversation, not a drill
Leave your number and treatment coordinator Ellie rings you back. Between you, you work out what you actually need, and nothing is booked until you want it to be.
