Was treated at United Smile Centres a few weeks ago. Very warm and courteous service. Treatment was painless. Would recommend them highly.

"My teeth are fantastic, my confidence is SKY HIGH"

United Smile Centres.....Being afraid of dentists for so many years of my life, I had let go of my teeth to the point I was so embarressed to go out and socialise with friends, family and my work started to get affected due to my confidence issues.I then plucked up the courage to ring United Smile Centres and spoke to a lovely girl who put me at ease immediately on the phone......The day of my FREE consultation I was so nervous and scared that I almost didnt attend my appointment, but found the confidence to come in as I wanted to be ME again. Can I say what a fantastic team United Smile Centres have, they held my hand every step of the way.Having met the team a few times before the surgery I had built up enough trust to go ahead with this life changing procedure. I felt very safe throughout the treatment.My teeth are fantastic, my confidence is SKY HIGH and the best bit is I can laugh, giggle and smile without a care in the WORLD!!

How can I view your latest prices?

Absolutely - view transparent fees on our Prices and plans page.

How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?

During your complimentary Zoom consultation, we take time to understand your goals, concerns and lifestyle. Whether you’re considering veneers, composite bonding, teeth whitening or a full smile makeover, your dentist will guide you towards the option that aligns best with your facial features and long-term oral health.

Will cosmetic dentistry look natural?

Yes - natural, elegant results are the signature of Rakus Dental. Our cosmetic dentists design each smile using digital planning and high-quality materials, ensuring your teeth look beautifully balanced rather than “done.” Subtle, healthy aesthetics are at the heart of everything we create.

How long does cosmetic treatment take?

It depends on the treatment. Whitening may take one to two weeks, bonding can often be completed in a single visit, while porcelain veneers or a full makeover may take a few carefully planned appointments. Your personalised treatment map will outline your exact timeline with complete clarity.

Can cosmetic dentistry also improve my oral health?

Absolutely. Many cosmetic treatments offer both functional and aesthetic benefits. Improving alignment, strengthening weakened teeth, refining bite issues or restoring worn enamel can enhance your comfort and long-term oral stability while elevating your smile’s appearance.

What is the best way to replace a missing tooth?

The ideal solution depends on your goals, oral health and lifestyle. Options include dental implants for a fixed, long-term replacement, bridges for a natural-looking restoration, or dentures for multiple missing teeth. During your consultation, we’ll guide you through each choice so you can feel confident in your decision.

How long do dental implants last?

With excellent care and regular dental hygiene visits, implants can last for many years - often decades. Their longevity makes them one of the most reliable and durable options for replacing missing teeth, especially when combined with high-quality crowns.

Are full-mouth implants really completed in one day?

Yes - systems such as All-on-Four and All-on-Six allow us to place implants and fit a temporary fixed bridge in a single visit. You leave the clinic with a stable, functional smile while your final bespoke bridge is crafted during the healing period.

What happens if I don’t replace missing teeth?

Gaps can cause neighbouring teeth to shift, affect your bite, and even contribute to jawbone loss over time. Replacing missing teeth helps maintain facial structure, restore chewing comfort and support your long-term oral health - as well as your confidence.
