Before and afters
Before and afters from Colchester Dental Specialist Centre
At Colchester Dental Specialist Centre, we have several specialist clinicians who accept referrals for a range of treatments including teeth straightening and endodontic treatments. We also accept self-referrals for patients who haven’t been referred by a dentist but would still like to visit us, please get in touch and we can talk you through the treatments and services we have available.
If you're looking to straighten teeth, fix any chips or broken teeth, reduce gaps or tweak any other parts of your smile, speak to our team. See how we transformed some of our patients’ smiles below.
Root canal with fixed braces and composite bonding
Patient Catherine was referred to our practice after a fall had knocked her tooth out. She received endodontic (root canal) treatment from Noman before our specialist orthodontist Jay used fixed braces to create space. As the teeth moved, he built up the teeth using composite bonding to create a confident new smile for Catherine.

Fixed braces with composite bonding
Wendy was unhappy with the crowding and unevenness of her teeth and suffered from previous gum disease. Dentist Jay removed one of the lower teeth and used fixed braces and composite bonding to improve the patients’ smile.

Dental implant treatment with veneers and crown
Dr Gurwinder Dhesi, Specialist Prosthodontist told us: “This gentleman was referred from my colleague, Dr Biller, who provided excellent periodontal treatment leading to the stability of his condition. Stephen wanted to improve the appearance of his teeth, and after having discussed all the options, we carried out the following treatment: 1. Smile simulation to assess the appearance of the proposed outcome 2. Sinus lift and implant to replace a missing back tooth 3. Upper full arch veneers and crowns to provide long term stability and excellent aesthetics that look natural.”

Dental implant treatment with bone grafting
Dr Gurwinder Dhesi, Specialist Prosthodontist said: “This lovely patient attended wanting to have a long-term fixed replacement for her missing tooth in the upper jaw. Having discussed all the options, we recommended composite bonding on her upper front teeth to improve the tooth proportions using minimally invasive treatment modalities, after having carried out a smile simulation to showcase the final outcome from the outset. We provided an implant with bone grafting to replace the front missing tooth to give her the best long-term result that also looks fantastic.”
