Cosmetic Dentistry in Marbella

Depending on whether you wish to improve tooth colour, shape, size, or gum proportion, different solutions are available: professional teeth whitening to brighten enamel shade, porcelain or composite veneers to correct wear, chips, or small gaps between teeth, and gum contouring to balance the gumline. Through an initial assessment at our Marbella clinic, we recommend the most conservative approach.

Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a dental laboratory and stand out for their long-term colour stability and natural lustre. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth in the clinic, usually require minimal or no enamel preparation, and allow straightforward touch-ups, although they require periodic maintenance polishing. The ideal choice depends on your clinical case.

Teeth whitening results are not permanent, but they can remain visible for a long time when supported by healthy habits. Shade longevity depends on each patient's enamel characteristics, daily oral hygiene, and consumption of tobacco or staining beverages such as coffee, tea, or red wine. During routine check-ups, we assess whether a supervised top-up session is advisable.

During treatment or in the days immediately afterwards, it is possible to experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity to cold. For this reason, whitening should always follow a restorative dental check-up that rules out untreated cavities or enamel fissures. We tailor the whitening gel concentration to your enamel and provide specific desensitising products to keep the process comfortable and safe.

Yes, combining several techniques within a single smile design plan is very common. For example, professional teeth whitening is often carried out first to brighten the overall shade, followed by aesthetic veneers matched to the new colour. Similarly, if dental crowding or misalignment is present, we recommend aligning the teeth first with orthodontics so the final cosmetic restoration is as conservative as possible.
