“Good dentistry starts with listening, understanding what matters to you, and explaining your options clearly.”
I'm Dr Hardeep Hothi, an associate dentist known as Dr Dee. I have a particular interest in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry and completed a two-year postgraduate course in this field in London, passing with Distinction. I have also completed a two-year course in endodontics at the Simply Endo facility in Liverpool.
I regularly take part in professional courses, seminars and conferences as part of my ongoing learning. My aim is to help patients feel informed and comfortable, including those who feel nervous about dental treatment. Every treatment plan should be based on an individual assessment, oral health, expectations and a clear discussion of benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.
I work as an associate dentist rather than owning a dental practice. The clinics where I see patients, appointment availability and treatments offered can change, so please check the relevant clinic's current information before booking.
Cosmetic dentistry is personal. The right option depends on your oral health, tooth structure, goals and budget. These introductions can help you prepare for a conversation with a dentist.

Read the porcelain veneers guide →Tooth-coloured composite can be used in selected cases to adjust tooth shape, edges or small spaces. It may require maintenance or repair and is not suitable for every smile.
A personalised plan may involve one or more treatment options. A careful assessment should consider gum health, bite, tooth condition, long-term maintenance and more conservative alternatives.
Every smile is different. Here is what you can generally expect when exploring cosmetic dental treatment, with your options shaped by an individual assessment.

Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin applied and shaped by a dentist. Porcelain veneers are custom-made restorations produced outside the mouth. They differ in technique, durability, repair options, cost and potential tooth preparation. A dentist can explain which options may suit your teeth and goals.
Not every treatment is suitable for every patient. Gum health, tooth condition, bite, existing restorations, habits and expectations all matter. An assessment is needed before deciding on a treatment plan.
As a general guide, composite bonding may last around 5 years, while porcelain veneers may last approximately 10–15 years. These are estimates, not guarantees: longevity depends on your oral health, bite, habits, the condition of the restorations, oral hygiene and regular maintenance. Repairs or replacement may be needed sooner, so discuss your individual expectations at a consultation.
When contacting one of the clinics, please ask to see Dee (Dr Hardeep Hothi) when booking. You can also send me a direct message on Instagram at @deethedentist. Appointment availability, treatment options and fees should be confirmed with the relevant clinic.
Ask about all reasonable options, the benefits and risks, tooth preparation, alternatives, likely maintenance, total costs, what happens if a restoration chips or fails, and how your oral health will be monitored.
