Cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry

Today many people turn to cosmetic dentistry as a way of enhancing their smile but also to boost their confidence and self-esteem. We’ve seen how much a patient’s enjoyment of life increases when they feel free to smile and laugh or eat whatever they want. It is a pleasure to offer our patients a wide array of restorative and cosmetic services. Some procedures are simple and may only require one visit. Here are some of the more common cosmetic dental options:

Cosmetic dental treatments can:

  • Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth.
  • Close unattractive spaces or gaps between teeth.
  • Correct misaligned or uneven teeth
  • Reshape teeth that are long and pointy
  • Improve or correct bites.
  • Lighten or brighten the color of teeth.
  • Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth.
  • Replace missing teeth.
  • Replace old, unattractive amalgam fillings.

Teeth whitening or bleaching

is a common and popular process to whiten your teeth.
It can be done by light bleaching, wearing bleaching tray or bleaching strips.

Enamel shaping and contouring

is commonly used to alter length, shape or position of your teeth. Contouring teeth may also help correct small problems with bite. It involves a filing-like procedure to reshape your teeth subtly.

Veneers

are a thin layer of ceramic or composite resin tooth-colored material placed over your teeth to improve their shape, size or color. Veneers are an ideal way of treating discolored or unsightly teeth, closing gaps between front teeth or repairing chips and cracks.

Bonding

involves using tooth-colored composite resin to improve the shape, size or color of your teeth. It can be used to close spaces between teeth to cover the entire outside surface of a tooth to change its color and shape. Bonding is also used to fill small cavities.
