What makes a smile beautiful? Good tooth color, shape and alignment are a few of the most identifiable qualities of a lovely smile. Modern dentistry offers so many options and possibilities to improve the appearance of a person's smile - at any age. From powerful, professional whitening treatments to amazingly realistic porcelain veneers to state-of-the-art dental implants, there's a wide range of exciting possibilities.
Crowns and veneers are very versatile and can improve many cosmetic issues such as discoloration, cracks, chips, and broken teeth. They are also used to “reshape” misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped (teeth with bulges), as well as gaps between teeth.
Color — Teeth can become stained by food and drink, smoking, medication and aging. Crowns and veneers are available in numerous shades, from the most natural to the brightest Hollywood white.
Size & Shape — Your teeth can wear down with time, or may not be your preferred size or shape. Crowns and veneers can reshape your teeth to enhance your features.
Alignment & Spacing — Crowns and veneers can be used to close small gaps between teeth or make slight corrections in alignment while improving tooth color and shape.
Crowns and Veneers
If you’re looking for a way to improve the appearance of your smile, crowns and veneers are a quick, effective, and versatile option.
A dental veneer is a thin layer of a tooth-coloured material that is bonded to the front surface of your tooth. They can create a natural-looking, beautiful new surface, allowing you to smile confidently.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a laboratory to fit your unique smile. The high-quality, wafer-thin porcelain has a translucent quality that allows the veneer to look incredibly natural. In addition to being super-strong, the porcelain is also very stain resistant and extremely durable.
Composite veneers are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve cosmetic issues such as discoloration. Composite veneers are sculpted directly on your natural tooth using tooth-colored composite resin, which comes in a variety of tooth shades for truly lifelike results. When bonding is done with a skilled hand and an artistic eye, it may be almost impossible to distinguish the bonded tooth from its neighbors.
Cosmetic crowns can be thought of as a "cap", placed on top of a tooth to cover discolored, stained or yellow teeth for superior aesthetics. Crowns are used to improve other cosmetic issues such as cracks, chips, and broken teeth. Dentists also use crowns to “reshape” misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped (teeth with bulges), as well as gaps between teeth.
Like porcelain veneers, crowns are custom-made in a laboratory, and are usually fabricated from zirconia, porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal, depending on the tooth and its function. Porcelain crowns have a translucent quality, giving the crown an incredibly natural appearance. All 3 materials are very strong, stain-resistant and extremely durable.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening (bleaching) is a safe, effective way to brighten your smile. It's also perhaps the most economical cosmetic dental procedure.
Professional whitening makes use of high concentration bleaching gels that are not available over the counter. They work faster and protect sensitive gums and tooth-root surfaces better than over-the-counter whitening products.
Not all discolored teeth can be corrected with teeth whitening. Intrinsic discoloration, caused by traumatic injuries, medications or fluorosis, begins inside the tooth. These conditions will not improve with teeth bleaching, but can be corrected with porcelain veneers or crowns. It is important to see your dentist before you begin any whitening process to discuss which teeth whitening methods work best for you.
Teeth Straightening (Braces)
Straight teeth goes beyond esthetics: properly aligned teeth help you to bit, chew and even speak more effectively. They are also easier to clean, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
Orthodontics is not just for children and teens - adults comprise 1 in 5 of all orthodontic patients. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so you've never “missed the boat” for orthodontic treatment.
Adult orthodontic treatment can align teeth or or close gaps between teeth to create a more beautiful smile. It can also improve your ability to brush and floss, and correct your bite, enabling you to bite and chew more comfortably.
Braces use light, constant forces to gradually move and align teeth to their intended position in the mouth. Less visible braces are available to provide adults with more discreet options to blend more easily into their personal and professional life. Clear braces use brackets made of transparent ceramic which are hardly visible.
