Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry consists of several different oral appliances and procedures (used alone or several in combination) to improve the appearance of teeth and smiles. Our professionals at the Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry offer an expert opinion for the perfect treatment plan for each individual.

Some patients simply need teeth whitening treatment to improve their smile. The ZOOM2 laser whitening system available at the Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry could be the answer.

While most orthodontic treatment is done on teenagers, the availability of clear aligners is making straightening teeth more popular in adults now.

Spaces between teeth or even chipped or discolored teeth can be made to look normal again by applying veneers over them. After preparing the tooth by lightly roughening the enamel, a shell of tooth-colored material is bonded to the tooth.

Broken or damaged teeth can be repaired with the use of dental crowns. A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over an entire tooth. Crowns are also used with bridges, implants, and dentures.

If a tooth is malformed, dental shaping can build it back to a more normal shape and size. Tooth enamel is filed or removed, and filling material is placed to build the tooth back up. Dental shaping is not painful, provides mostly immediate results, and rarely requires recovery time.

Losing a tooth can be traumatic, especially if it is in the front of the mouth and extremely noticeable. Dental implants are becoming a more popular method of replacing missing teeth as it provides the look and feel of a natural tooth. Implants are also essential parts of some other dental appliances, such as bridges and dentures.
