Cosmetic dentistry can significantly transform your smile through various procedures and treatments. Consulting a dentist is the first step if you desire a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile. They will carefully examine the state of your teeth to determine which cosmetic dentistry options may benefit you the most.
They will discuss the advantages of each option and may recommend any of the following:
-
Dental Implants
This solution is ideal for patients with one or more missing teeth. Dental implants look and feel just like natural teeth and can be used to replace missing roots. Patients with healthy gums, enough natural jawbone to hold an implant and one or more missing teeth that need to be replaced for functional and/or aesthetic reasons will be considered suitable candidates for this treatment.
This is a permanent solution; your dental implant can last a lifetime with proper care! Your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, jaw, and head. They will start with the procedure once they confirm you are a suitable candidate. Dental implants are sturdy and durable; you can eat, speak and laugh confidently and comfortably.
Dental implants are surgically placed beneath the gum tissue and will fuse with the jawbone over time. Once the implant bonds to the bone and the gum, the dentist will attach an abutment during the second phase of surgery to connect the replacement tooth to the implant.
-
Veneers
Veneers are made from porcelain or resin-composite material and are permanently bonded to teeth to fix cracks, gaps, discoloration, and/or teeth that are smaller than average. If you feel insecure about the appearance of your teeth but have an otherwise healthy smile, veneers may be ideal. If your dentist thinks you are a suitable candidate for this treatment, they will thoroughly clean your teeth at your appointment and use a texturizer tool and dental cement to bind the veneers to the front of each tooth.
Veneers are especially great if your cosmetic issue is affecting multiple teeth. This solution can hide many problems affecting your teeth’ shape, size, colour, or position.
Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance; this option can transform your smile completely.
-
Crowns and Bridges
These are fixed prosthetic devices cemented to existing teeth to provide patients with an efficient, natural-looking, long-term fix for oral health concerns.
-
Teeth Whitening
If you’re unhappy with the colour of your teeth, your dentist can professionally whiten them to brighten their colour by up to several shades! Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark foods can change the colour of your teeth over time, and stained teeth will look unsightly. Professional teeth whitening will successfully remove stains and lighten the colour of your teeth to eliminate a dull and dingy appearance.
-
Dental Bonding
A tooth-coloured, mouldable resin will be applied to areas of your tooth to mask stains, tiny gaps, small chips, and other minor imperfections. This is a simple procedure that is non-invasive and cost-effective.
-
Invisalign
If you want to straighten your teeth discreetly, Invisalign is a great option for subtly straightening crooked and misaligned teeth. No metal brackets or wires are involved because this innovative orthodontic system uses clear, custom-fitted aligners to shift teeth into their proper positions. These aligners are transparent and unnoticeable and are ideal for teens and adults who do not want traditional metal braces.
