Cosmetic or Aesthetic Dentistry Treatment

Cosmetic dentistry procedures rectify chipped, cracked, discolored, and unevenly spaced or misaligned teeth. Patients are offered a variety of cosmetic dentistry solutions to restore the health and vitality of their smile, from porcelain veneers to tooth-coloured fillings.

Cosmetic dentistry treatments can be performed to correct everything from minor flaws in the smile to severe tooth discoloration, missing teeth, and uneven spacing between teeth. The following is a list of common aesthetic dentistry options:

• Teeth Whitening – whitening will reinvigorate your smile and restore confidence.
• Porcelain Veneers – these are ceramic shells applied to the front of the teeth to conceal cracks and chips, overlay gaps, and create a whiter appearance to a your smile.
• Dental Implants - artificial roots that are embedded in the jaw where a prosthetic tooth is mounted. Dental implants are a restorative and cosmetic dentistry solution for missing teeth. It is also important to replace teeth to spread the load when chewing. When people are missing teeth, this puts extra pressure on the remaining teeth that can, over time, cause wear and damage.
• Dental Bonding - the application of tooth-colored composite to the teeth. The bonding material is then polished and shaped to match the rest of your teeth.
• Tooth-Coloured Fillings – a composite resin material matched to the natural shade of your teeth. Tooth-coloured "white" fillings are an attractive alternative to silver amalgam fillings.
• Porcelain Inlays/Onlays – durable and attractive restorations used to repair cracked or otherwise damaged teeth. Inlays and onlays require less tooth reduction than fillings or crowns.
• Dental Crowns - a cap used to repair badly decayed or damaged teeth. The crown is created from a mold of the original tooth, and then applied after the decay is removed and the tooth is repaired.
• Dental Bridges - a sturdy structure composed of two crowns and a prosthetic tooth. Dental bridges are used to "bridge" the gaps where teeth are missing.

Modern dentistry offers a wide range of procedures that can restore your confident, natural smile.
