Teeth whitening with acid reflux or GORD: thinner enamel, sensitivity and when whitening makes sense

Reflux acid thins enamel, so teeth look yellower and whiten less. When whitening still makes sense with GORD, the three questions a dentist asks first, and the gentler protocol that follows.

Dental implant for a missing canine (eye tooth): why the corner tooth is different and what to expect

A missing canine is not just a gap: the eye tooth guides the bite and shapes the smile corner. Dr James Tran explains why a canine implant is planned differently, the alternatives, bone grafting and what to expect.

Teeth whitening with a partial denture: your teeth whiten, the denture teeth do not, and how to plan the match

Whitening gel lightens natural teeth but not acrylic denture teeth. Dr James Tran explains why the order matters: whiten first, wait about two weeks, then match or remake the partial denture.

What to expect with composite bonding

We start with a consult to look at the teeth you want to change and check they are healthy. Bonding suits chips, gaps and small shape changes, and we will tell you if something else would work better.

In most cases bonding is done in a single visit with little or no drilling. We shape the tooth coloured material directly onto your teeth and sculpt it to match.

Once we are happy with the shape, we polish everything to a natural finish and check your bite before you leave.
