Cosmetic Dentistry

If you have unwanted spaces in your smile caused by teeth shifting, moving, or flaring out due to injury, dental crowns and dental bridges can be used to restore your teeth to a healthy smile, as well as to help prevent the loss of bone structure in your jaw. Your cosmetic dentist and their team will work closely with you to determine whether or not crowns or bridges are the right dental treatment option for your smile.

What are dental crowns?

Crowns, also called caps, are custom designed to fit over top of your damaged tooth, restoring a beautiful smile and proper functionality. Crowns can be made from a variety of different materials, including stainless steel, porcelain, titanium, gold, or zirconia, making it easy for you to select the best crown material for your tooth and smile.

What are dental bridges?

Bridges use a combination of artificial teeth and crowns placed over top of existing teeth to close gaps caused by one to three missing teeth. Using a dental bridge and crowns to replace missing teeth can help restore your smile, while also redistributing the workload amongst your teeth for a more even bite. Since there are a selection of different bridges and crowns you can choose from, our dentists will help you select the best option for your specific needs.

What are porcelain veneers?

Dental veneers or porcelain veneers are uniquely designed to help provide aesthetic improvements to the overall appearance of your tooth’s shape, size, alignment, colour, and spacing. By being bonded to the front of your teeth, veneers cover up any unwanted flaws (stains, chips, breaks, or cracks) in the tooth surface, leaving you with a beautiful and healthy looking smile. Veneers are made from thin pieces of durable porcelain that can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth. This means that porcelain veneers are highly resistant to permanent discolouration caused by red wine, tobacco, coffee, and tea. If you are not sure if porcelain veneers are the right choice for your smile, contact our team today. Our dental professionals can help you select the best tooth veneers and dental services for your smile.

Teeth whitening involves applying carbamide peroxide to each tooth’s surface to help remove discolouration and stains, while also lightening teeth pigmentation for a beautiful, healthy smile. Patients can choose between buying an over-the-counter teeth whitening kit for at-home treatments or professional teeth whitening services from our dental clinic. It should be noted that store bought teeth whitening kits have significantly less active ingredients (carbamide peroxide), so it will often take longer to get the teeth whitening desired results for your smile. Since long-term results will be influenced by your eating and drinking habits, tooth whitening touch ups may be required. If you are thinking about whitening your teeth, contact our team of dental professionals today. We would love to help you select the best cosmetic dentistry services for your smile.
