Over many years, a combination of teeth grinding and general neglect had led to significant tooth wear. This type of wear can shorten teeth, affect the bite, and have a noticeable impact on the overall smile.<br \/>\nAfter a detailed consultation and careful planning, Dr Ilaty worked closely with the patient to design a treatment plan that would restore both aesthetics and function.

By carefully shaping the teeth and placing custom-designed veneers, we were able to rebuild the worn edges, restore the natural proportions of the smile, and create a more youthful appearance.<br \/>\nThe final result was a beautifully balanced smile that looked natural while dramatically improving the patient\u2019s confidence.<br \/>\nAt Surrey Dental Spa, every smile transformation begins with careful planning and a personalised approach, ensuring that the final outcome not only looks exceptional but also supports long-term oral health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Surrey Dental Spa, we regularly help patients regain confidence in their smiles through modern cosmetic dentistry.
