Ceramic & Metal Dental Braces in Surbiton
Dental Braces In Surbiton For Adults

Made from tooth-coloured or clear materials, they blend naturally with your teeth for a more aesthetic look. They’re ideal for both teens and adults who want subtle orthodontic treatment. Ceramic braces can treat a wide range of cases, from mild crowding to complex bite issues. Their smooth, comfortable design reduces irritation for a better treatment experience.

The Dental Braces Treatment Procedure
Ceramic Braces vs. Metal Braces – Which Is Right for You?
Choosing the right type of braces can make a big difference to your comfort, appearance, and confidence during treatment. At Surbiton Smile, we offer both ceramic and metal braces, and we’re here to help you decide what’s best for your smile.
Ceramic braces:
- Made with clear or tooth-coloured brackets
- Blend naturally with your teeth for a more subtle look
- A popular choice for adults and teens concerned about appearance
Metal braces:
- Use high-strength stainless steel brackets
- Slightly more visible, but extremely durable
- Often the most budget-friendly orthodontic option
If you’re looking for a discreet, aesthetic option, ceramic braces may be ideal. If durability and cost are your priorities, metal braces offer reliable results with fewer compromises.


Fixed Braces vs Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?
Fixed Braces:
- Consist of metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth and connected with wires
- Provide constant pressure to gradually move teeth into position
- Effective for mild to complex orthodontic issues, including severe crowding and bite problems
- Cannot be removed, which ensures continuous treatment progress
- Require extra care with cleaning and avoiding certain foods that may damage brackets or wires
Invisalign:
- Uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth
- Nearly invisible and can be taken out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
- Generally more comfortable, with no brackets or wires causing irritation
- Best suited for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns
- Allows for easier oral hygiene and no dietary restrictions
Before choosing between Invisalign and fixed braces, it’s best to consult a dentist or orthodontist. They can assess your teeth and recommend the most effective treatment tailored to your specific needs.

“I’ve been visiting the team at SSC for 9 months or so. My treatment included a front tooth implant plus upper and lower alignment. From start to finish the team were fantastic – especially good with appointment times, availability and patient communication. I’ve recently concluded my treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’d highly recommend to someone looking for first class cosmetic dental treatment. Thank you Simin, Theo, Claudia, Fernanda and Wendy.”
“Really happy with this practice – Dr Soltani is lovely and a very good dentist. Waiting times are close to none and the staff are professional and friendly. I did a teeth whitening treatment with the Enlighten method and worked amazingly.”
“She was brilliant. She explained exactly what she was doing. Reassured me thoroughly and I felt at ease. Considering it was Good Friday and in the evening, the price was very fair. If you are in need of a Dentist, then definitely call them.”
I had my Invisalign treatment here and am very pleased with the results. This was with the recommendation of Sure Smile aligners which have worked well. Special thanks to resident orthodontist Theo, Simin and the rest of the team as they are all very professional and friendly.
Dr Soltani and her team at Surbiton Smile Centre has given me exceptional service over the last 5 years. The whole team are highly experienced as well as very friendly. I have done an implant, a crown and braces – all treatments were of first-class. I will certainly continue to let them look after my dental health and strongly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre!
I have been going to Surbiton Smile Centre for nearly 20 years, that is surely testament to their service, friendliness, advice and overall experience. Fine fine work Simin and Wendy!
Dr Simin Soltani and the Surbiton Smile Centre team have been world class. The professionalism, quality of treatment, and customer experience have been exemplary.
I needed quite a bit of dental work so went to a few different surgeries to get their opinions. I chose Surbiton Smile Centre because Dr Soltani actually gave me options – all of which would work to varying degrees and, significantly, to varying costs. She took the time to try the most cost-effective option, but always with the possibility of shifting course if needed. Eventually, to get my teeth decently functional, I needed quite a few crowns – including on front teeth. She allowed me time to get used to the adjustments as the process went on, and always made sure each stage was both comfortable and looked good. I am very pleased with the result, again both aesthetically and functionally. Would most heartily recommend!
I recommend my dentist, Simin with the highest regard. Over the years, she has transformed my problematic mouth to a smile of stable, healthy teeth.
Simin has restored an old implant for me and also inserted a new one. She has helped me with crowns and also replaced old black fillings with natural looking white ones. Simin has always been very professional, kind and helpful.
Thank you Simin!
I have been going to Surbiton Smile Centre for approximately 5 years. The service, treatments and team are exceptional.

Easily the most outstanding dental practice I have ever visited. Simin, Fernanda, Theo and Wendy provide personalised service and make you feel extremely welcome and well cared for.

Would strongly recommend.
I would highly recommend to anyone to visit Surbiton Smile Centre, especially to people with dental complications in need of a cosmetic treatment to regain a confident smile. After a consultation with the knowledgeable team at Surbiton Smile Centre I was confident that having my treatment done as they also have a team that can translate make easy to understand. I had implant and cosmetic veneer treatment I have had dental work, check-ups and teeth cleaning done at Surbiton Smile Centre. I highly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre for their expert treatment, friendly staff, great service, and reasonable prices. All my friends and family have commented on my fantastic new teeth and my partner had treatment at Surbiton Smile Centre because I told her of my positive experience. I cannot thank Dr Simin and all team Surbiton Smile Centre
