What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
While braces are an effective fix for crookedness, they are not a practical solution for those that desire instant results or need to modify their smile beyond alignment. Cosmetic Dentistry is for patients that want to improve the appearance of their gums, teeth, or bite. Through a variety of procedures, you can alter the colour, shape, position and even the size of your teeth. Attaining the picture-perfect smile has become a lot easier with cosmetic dentistry. From major repairs to subtle changes, our highly experienced dental staff performs numerous cosmetic dentistry procedures. We’ll walk you through a few of them:Teeth Whitening
Dental Implants and Crowns
- To hold together a dental bridge
- To protect a weak tooth
- To cover a discoloured tooth or a misshapen tooth
Reshaping and Contouring
It’s easy to be tricked into believing that actors, models, and celebrities have naturally leveled teeth. We’re here to tell you that cosmetic dentistry is to thank for all of their gleaming smiles! The reshaping and contouring procedure is typically used to alter the length, shape, and position of your teeth. It is also useful for patients that have a slight problem with their bite. Reshaping and contouring is recommended for those that have health and normal teeth but would like to make minor adjustments. It can correct teeth that are:- Crooked and chipped
- Irregularly shaped
- Overlapping
Natural Looking Fillings
Dental Bonding
If you have gaps between your teeth and want your smile to look fuller, bonding is the answer. By using a tooth-coloured material, bonding fills in any gaps you may have. With just one visit to our office, bonding can last for several years. While bonding is more susceptible to chipping and staining than other forms of restoration, it will transform the look of your smile. Bonded composite resins are used to fix any chips or decays down the road. Dental bonding is most often used to:- Repair tooth chips or cracks
- Improve any discoloration along the tooth surface
- Reshape a tooth
- Fill gaps between teeth
- Lengthen a tooth
- Protect any exposed roots
