Riveredge Dental Studio

This minimally invasive procedure restores chipped or discoloured teeth using tooth-coloured resin. Ideal for minor imperfections, it enhances aesthetics while preserving natural tooth structure. Patients appreciate immediate results and minimal preparation required.

Custom-crafted thin shells cover tooth fronts to correct shape, colour, or spacing issues. Durable and stain-resistant, veneers create a natural, long-lasting smile transformation preferred for significant aesthetic improvements.

Titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone provide permanent support for crowns or bridges. This solution prevents bone loss and offers superior stability compared to traditional dentures, restoring full functionality and appearance.

Professional-grade whitening systems remove deep stains and discolouration safely. Custom trays and advanced formulas deliver noticeable results in weeks, with maintenance options to prolong effects of the treatment.

Comprehensive treatment plans combine multiple procedures to achieve dramatic transformations. Tailored to individual facial features and lifestyle needs, these makeovers address all aspects of dental aesthetics and function.

Absolutely delighted with my treatment from Richard Coates @Riveredge. I had a bad accident on my bike chipping a huge chunk off my front tooth. This was repaired at the time but I could always see the join line and it didn't look very natural. As a dentist myself I did my research on who had the skills to best address this, as this is a very skilled and highly technical job. Richard is the man! He took off the old filling, and has placed a new one.

The detailing is incredible, I absolutely love it. It feels like I have my original undamaged tooth back. No one can tell that this tooth has been damaged now. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough. He works with a very skilled and caring team who will look after you throughout your treatment journey. Thank you so much Riveredge!

I cannot express enough my delight at finding Ken. I was unhappy with my smile as I had 3 front crowns that were different shades and shapes and were very old. I live in London and despite having many hi tech and well known cosmetic dentists in London I didn't find one that I felt happy with and trust me I visited a lot! Thankfully my sister heard Ken being interviewed on the radio and suggested I look him up.

From the first telephone conversation with the lovely Allison I knew I'd found the right place, so I travelled up to meet Ken and the team. Ken explained all the options thoroughly and showed me what the end results would look like. We agreed a treatment plan and I am now the very happy owner of a perfect smile I couldn't be happier. Everyone at Riveredge are so lovely and welcoming and they really care about you. London to Sunderland is a long way to go but it was worth every mile, Thank you all so much xxx

I came to Riveredge to get a second opinion off previous dental work I was having done I'm glad I went with Riveredge in Sunderland I was nervous and scared but they quickly put me at rest it was not an over night or one day procedure but the end results are perfect I can chew my food my teeth look good and the tenderness and pain have gone Ken made me feel comfortable and put me at ease from day one my fears were all gone He spoke to me the whole time reassuring me I now love to smile I would highly recommend

Having disliked my teeth for many years I decided to look up cosmetic dentists and after a good recommendation from a friend decided on Riveredge. After an initial consultation with Ali I was referred to Ken, who straight away made me feel at ease and thoroughly discussed treatment options. My treatment as a whole was a seamless process and I was kept fully involved at every stage. My results speaks for itself as my smile has been truly transformed and I couldn't be happier.

The team at Riveredge became like an extended family as they made me and my partner feel such at ease on every visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Riveredge as a cosmetic dentist for their professionalism and high standards of care.

Words cannot express how utterly delighted I am with my new smile. The professionalism and expertise of the staff is second to none. Thank you so much. This is life changing!

Lovely practice with lovely staff! Dr. Harris is excellent and nothing is too much trouble All treatment is carried out to an extremely high standard and the level of care is second to one. Would fully recommend to anyone.
