Is Tooth Decay Affecting Your Smile?

What is Tooth Decay? | Advantages | How Long will this Treatment Take? | Before & After
Our latest techniques will help with the appearance of your front and back teeth that have had decay or caries.
A decayed tooth is when a tooth has become infected with bacteria. If the infection is not removed then it can lead to extensive damage sometimes involving painful abscesses and tooth removal.
The hole created in a tooth as a result of tooth decay is known as a “cavity”. This needs to be restored. A variety of dental materials including porcelain or tooth-coloured filled resins can be used to restore the tooth back to its entirety.
Tooth decay (sometimes also known as Caries) is a common dental problem that requires treatment. Antibiotics do not treat this infection and are ineffective until the infection runs deep into softer tissues.
Complex treatment is then needed to contain and treat the situation.
If you have teeth that visibly look unsightly and dark it may be due to caries and breakdown. We can help you to restore your teeth back to health and re-enhance your smile.
Prior to considering your teeth for any corrective improvements, we will remove any dental decay from your teeth and restore your teeth accordingly. The long-term health of your teeth is of the utmost importance and hence it is vital these teeth are free of dental decay.
Any solution recommended will be based upon creating a healthy foundation for your teeth, gums, and smile.
In this way, we will be able to achieve ultimate enhancement, a beautiful smile and healthy teeth.

Before/After - Discoloured or Decayed Teeth

The perfect smile is truly excellent.
I hated my tetracycline stained teeth, with 18 year old veneers which needed replacing. I get nervous how I'm going to look going to the hairdressers! so this was a huge commitment and putting my trust in someone was difficult.
From the initial consultation with Sam Jethwa and his professional, friendly, dental assistant Sophie, I could not have been more impressed. Now, I am thrilled with the end natural, result. The care taken at every stage is phenomenal. Sam is extremely skilled. Sophie is by far the best assistant I have ever encountered. The receptionists were reassuring and helpful.I will recommend them to everyone. THANK YOU.

I have been going to Perfect Smile for over a year now and its the best thing I done. The staff are polite and friendly, they make you feel comfortable.
I had gaps in my front teeth and tried a few dentist but was not comfortable. I saw the reviews Perfect Smile had and thought why not... I was told that it would take 3-6 months to close the gaps once I had my treatment.
I was not disappointed. I would like to thank the staff, Pano, Negin, David and everyone that assisted me.
Special thanks to David Bloom for giving me a Perfect Smile.
Would recommend 100%
