Discoloured teeth can be brightened with professional whitening or covered with natural-looking veneers if stains are too deep for whitening.

For those feeling anxious, she ensures a calm environment and explains each step of the process. Numbing gels or desensitising treatments can also be used for added comfort.

Maintaining oral health as you age involves regular professional cleanings, using fluoride toothpaste, and addressing issues like gum disease early. Dr. Sitav Amin also advises on diet and oral hygiene techniques to keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you wear dentures, she offers guidance on proper care to extend their lifespan.

Each check-up includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth for early signs of problems. Dr. Sitav checks for cavities between teeth, examines existing fillings, and looks for early signs of wear. X-rays may be needed to check areas not visible during the exam.

Sensitivity often comes from worn enamel or exposed root surfaces. Dr. Sitav identifies the cause of your sensitivity and offers solutions ranging from special toothpaste to protective coatings for exposed areas. For severe sensitivity, she can place coverings over exposed roots or repair worn enamel.

Treatment might include repairing worn teeth with crowns, replacing missing teeth, and correcting bite issues. The process typically takes several months, with treatments scheduled in stages for your comfort.

Digital smile design lets you see potential results before treatment starts. Dr. Sitav takes detailed scans of your teeth and creates a 3D model showing how different treatments would look. This helps you understand exactly how veneers, crowns, or other treatments will change your smile. She can adjust the design until it matches what you want to achieve.

Most cosmetic treatments can be adapted for patients with existing dental concerns, such as fillings or gum disease. Dr. Sitav Amin will assess your oral health and address any underlying problems before proceeding with cosmetic options to ensure long-term success.

Aftercare depends on the treatment. For instance, teeth whitening may require avoiding stain-inducing foods, while veneers benefit from a consistent oral hygiene routine. Dr. Sitav Amin will provide personalised advice to maintain your results.

A smile makeover usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on the treatments needed. Dr. Sitav plans each step carefully – starting with any necessary dental work, then moving to cosmetic procedures. Veneers typically need two visits. First for preparation and temporary veneers, then another for fitting permanent ones. Same-day crowns can be completed in a single visit.
