Individuals thinking about seeking the benefits of cosmetic dentistry have been given some advice.

The Harley Street Smile Clinic’s Dr Maurice Johannes told potential patients that they should take some time to ascertain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of procedure.

Cosmetic dentistry can include simple teeth whitening measures or extensive work such as implants and bridgework.

“They should undertake research on an individual dentist, i.e. look at photos of treatments they have carried out and read reviews that have been posted on the internet,” he added.

Dr Maurice also advised patients that they need to keep their mouths in good condition.

He explained that before a person can have cosmetic dentistry work, their oral hygiene needs to be optimal and gums need to be healthy.
Dr Johannes has over 20 years of dental experience, fitting more than 20,000 veneers in that time – a total he believes is more than anyone else in the UK.
