COSMETIC DENTISTRY IN KANPUR
Beautiful Smiles, Expertly Crafted
Comprehensive cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry — teeth whitening, laminates, tooth reshaping, and aesthetic restorations at Kanpur’s only NABH-accredited dental clinic.
What is Cosmetic & Aesthetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. It combines art and science to create natural-looking, beautiful results.
Procedures include teeth whitening (professional bleaching to remove stains and brighten enamel), laminates (thin shells bonded to tooth surface for shape and color correction), tooth reshaping (contouring enamel for better shape), and aesthetic restorations (tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns).
At Saluja Dento Max Fac Centre, cosmetic dentistry is performed with NABH-grade safety protocols and advanced technology. Every smile makeover is customized to your facial aesthetics, skin tone, and personal preferences — ensuring results that look naturally beautiful, not artificial.

What Affects Dental Aesthetics?
Understanding the causes helps us design the right treatment plan for you.
Intrinsic Staining
Stains from within the tooth structure — caused by certain medications (tetracycline), dental trauma, fluorosis, or natural aging of dentin.
Extrinsic Staining
Surface stains on enamel caused by food, beverages, smoking, and poor oral hygiene. These respond well to professional whitening.
Enamel Wear
Thinning enamel from acidic foods, acid reflux, or bruxism (teeth grinding) exposes yellow dentin underneath, making teeth look darker.
Genetics
Natural tooth characteristics are inherited — size, shape, spacing, and enamel thickness all affect how your smile looks.
Previous Dental Work
Old silver amalgam fillings and outdated crowns can darken teeth, show through enamel, or create visible metal margins at the gum line.
Aging
Over time, enamel naturally wears thin and the yellowish dentin underneath becomes more visible, giving teeth a darker, worn appearance.

My teeth whitening treatment was amazing! I went 4 shades brighter in one session. The staff was professional and the results exceeded my expectations. I can’t stop smiling now!
Got 6 laminates on my upper front teeth. The results look completely natural — nobody can tell. Dr. Saluja understood exactly what I wanted. Best decision I ever made for my smile!
I had tooth reshaping and whitening done together. The uneven edges of my teeth were contoured and the color brightened. It was painless and completed in one visit. Highly recommend!

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about cosmetic dental treatments.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is completely safe when performed by a qualified dentist. At our NABH-accredited clinic, we use clinically proven whitening agents that protect your enamel while effectively removing stains. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, which resolves within 1–2 days.
Professional teeth whitening typically lasts 1–2 years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding staining foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco) and maintaining regular dental cleanings can extend results significantly.
No, laminate placement is not painful. The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only minimal enamel reshaping. Local anesthesia is available if needed, though most patients report no discomfort at all. You may experience mild sensitivity for 1–2 days after placement.
Quality ceramic laminates typically last 10–15 years with proper care. Good oral hygiene, avoiding biting hard objects, wearing a night guard if you grind teeth, and regular dental checkups can extend their lifespan well beyond 15 years.
Tooth reshaping (also called enamel contouring) is a painless procedure where small amounts of enamel are carefully sculpted to improve tooth shape, length, or alignment. It requires no anesthesia and produces instant results. It’s often combined with whitening for a complete smile improvement.
Yes! Small gaps between teeth can be closed with laminates, composite bonding, or tooth reshaping. For larger gaps, orthodontic treatment may be recommended first. During your consultation, we’ll assess the gap size and recommend the most effective and conservative approach.
Cost varies based on the procedure: professional whitening starts from a moderate range, laminates are priced per tooth, and full smile makeovers are customized. We offer transparent pricing, EMI options, and free consultations to discuss your needs and budget. Visit our pricing page for details.
Purely cosmetic procedures (whitening, laminates for appearance only) are typically not covered by insurance. However, restorative components like tooth-colored fillings and ceramic crowns may be covered under CGHS/ECHS/ESI/UP Police empanelment. We’ll help you understand what’s covered during your consultation.
No, whitening agents only work on natural tooth enamel. Existing crowns, fillings, and laminates will not change color with whitening. If you have visible restorations, we’ll plan your treatment to whiten your natural teeth first, then replace or match restorations to the new shade for a uniform result.
Maintain your cosmetic results with regular brushing and flossing, professional cleanings every 6 months, avoiding staining foods and beverages (especially in the first 48 hours after whitening), wearing a night guard if you grind teeth, and avoiding using teeth as tools to open packages. Following these simple steps keeps your smile beautiful for years.
