Cosmetic Dentistry
Roy & Kali Family Dental Centre offers cosmetic dentistry options for anyone who wants to completely makeover their smile or dramatically improve their oral health. These improvements are usually done with either porcelain veneers, crowns or with dental implants, respectively, to treat teeth that are cracked, chipped, missing or discolored.
Why have cosmetic dentistry done?
There are several different motivations for deciding to have cosmetic dental work done. Insecurity surrounding the appearance of teeth is the most common, but more medical or functional reasons include misaligned teeth that cause chronic pain or headaches, lack of jaw support that can change face shape, and speech impediments due to missing teeth. Cosmetic dental work can create a smile that is both beautiful and functional.
Types of cosmetic procedures we perform
Based on what imperfection the dentist is trying to correct, the procedure performed will be different. Bleaching is a type of chemical process that removes stains and creates a whiter smile. Bonding fills gaps in a smile with a material that is the same color as your teeth. It can also be used to change the color of your teeth by covering the entire outer surface of a tooth. If you want an option that has a longer lifespan and color stability than bonding, veneers are a good choice. These thin layer of porcelain placed on the front surface of the tooth are used to correct surfaces that are chipped, discolored or misaligned. Crowns completely cover a tooth in an attempt to restore a tooth’s shape and appearance. Of all the options, crowns are the most expensive and time-consuming, but they also have the longest life expectancy.
If you have concerns about the appearance and function of your smile, we can give you many options that will leave you looking your best.
