Create the smile of your dreams

At Optident, we understand that your smile is a big part of your identity. Our cosmetic dentists are dedicated to helping you achieve your ideal look and boosting your self‑confidence in a welcoming, private environment.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Colchester & Essex

We offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic treatments to correct a variety of aesthetic concerns – from misaligned teeth and discolouration to chips, gaps, worn surfaces and uneven shapes. Our approach combines artistry with advanced technology to deliver results that look beautiful and feel natural.

Orthodontics

Straight teeth are healthier, easier to clean and more attractive. We offer a full range of orthodontic solutions for adults and children, from early interceptive appliances to comprehensive braces and aligners.

SmileFast

SmileFast is an innovative cosmetic smile makeover that uses advanced digital design and custom composite veneers to transform your smile quickly and predictably. With SmileFast, you can digitally design your new smile, preview it before treatment and achieve dramatic aesthetic improvements in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional methods.

Inlays & Onlays

When a tooth has too much damage for a regular filling but doesn’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays offer the perfect balance of strength and conservation.

Clear Aligners

If you want straighter teeth without traditional braces, clear aligners are an excellent choice. At Optident, we proudly offer Invisalign®, Smart Aligners and Angel Aligners, giving you the flexibility to choose the system that best suits your needs, lifestyle and budget. During your consultation, our clinicians will guide you through each option so you can make an informed decision.

Teeth Whitening

If you’re looking to brighten your smile safely and effectively, professional teeth whitening is the answer. We offer options to suit your needs and schedule.

Crowns

Dental crowns are full‑coverage restorations that strengthen and protect teeth damaged by decay, trauma or large fillings. They restore function while blending beautifully with your natural smile.

FINANCE & ELIgibility

Cosmetic dentistry is planned and delivered over a series of appointments, depending on the treatment and the results you want to achieve. As these procedures are bespoke and aesthetic-focused, they are provided privately at Optident, with the option to spread the cost using interest-free finance on private treatments over £250 (subject to status).

Interest-Free Finance (0% APR)

We offer 0% interest finance over 12 months for private treatment plans over £250.

Spread the cost over a longer term

For higher-value treatments you can also spread the cost over a longer period with affordable monthly instalments through Tabeo — giving you greater flexibility.

Low interest payment plans

Our low-interest payment plans allow you to break down the cost of cosmetic or restorative treatments into smaller monthly payments that suit your budget. Credit is subject to status and is available to UK residents aged 18 and over.
