What is Cosmetic Dental Care?
The primary goal of cosmetic dental treatments is to alter the appearance of teeth and gums.
Cosmetic dental procedures can change the colour and symmetry of your teeth if they are discoloured, worn, broken, misaligned, or have gaps between them.
Many patients find that these treatments can make a difference in their confidence in their smiles.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which your dentist bonds tooth-coloured composite resin to damaged, decayed, discoloured, or gapped teeth to provide you with a more even, natural-looking smile. Your dentist will match the colour of the composite resin as closely as possible to the colour of your natural teeth to ensure an even looking smile.Ā
Veneers & Lumineers
Veneers are thin porcelain pieces that are applied to the front of your teeth to change their colour or shape. Veneers are applied to teeth that have uneven surfaces, as well as teeth that are chipped, discoloured, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced, or crooked. LumineersĀ® are thin veneers that can often be placed with little to no tooth structure removal.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening at your dentist's office is a safe and effective way to lighten your teeth. Teeth whitening employs bleaching agents that are peroxide-based and are intended to lighten the colour of your teeth. You may be able to enjoy a lighter, brighter smile for years to come with the in-office and take-home treatment options available.
