Here are some of the options cosmetic dentistry, combined with today’s
technology, can now offer:
Your Smile Design Evaluation begins
with an in-office examination and a personal consultation. The
consulting cosmetic dentist will discuss your needs and concerns,
and answer all of your questions. Your lip line, facial shape,
jaw angle, and eye symmetry are examined. Radiographs, impressions,
or photographs may be taken. Each of these elements is essential
in designing the most beautiful "natural smile" for each
individual patient.
After your Smile Design Evaluation is complete, our dentist
will plan a Smile Makeover. The philosophy behind is to use the
most conservative dental techniques available to create your
perfect smile, the smile you deserve. Every case needs to be
planned out to the finest detail, before the chosen celebrity.
Since many aspects and angles of your current smile are taken
into consideration, your Smile Makeover may also include a combination
of treatments that may be right for you. Most are relatively simple
procedures that are conservative, painless, fast, and surprisingly
affordable. Aesthetic eye in the our dentist will quickly repair
chips, fill in spaces, and camouflage stains to give you a new
smile that would have otherwise required years of braces and months
of surgery and dental work. Your beautiful smile can be created
in as little as one or two days, so you, too, can enjoy the benefits
of cosmetic dentistry.
Your smile is as personalized as your signature, and can make or
break that critical first impression. Your smile is a statement
about who you are. The course of treatment will however determine
as to how many subsequent visits will be necessary. For simple
laser teeth whitening cases, the Doctor Smile Diode Laser treatments
of about an hour, will make the result last up to several years
under honest caring regimen.
There are other ways available to
whiten your teeth, for example with the use of Lasers, which may
be quicker. The advantage of the 'sleeve' method, though, is that
you have greater control over the colour. Laser teeth whitening
or bleaching is a procedure in which a translucent bleaching gel
is applied to the teeth and a laser light is used to activate the
crystals in the gel. This allows the gel to penetrate into the
enamel and brighten the teeth. It is quite simple, cost-effective,
permanent technique for obtaining a desired dazzling, whiter smile
in office or at home in just a matter of days, without altering
the shape and size of the teeth.
Laser teeth whitening utilizes the latest dental technology to
provide instant results for its patients. This dental procedure
can be completed in a single visit – 1 hour and can be performed
in a dentist’s office. The biggest advantage of obtaining laser
teeth whitening is that having whiter teeth increases the beauty
of your smile. Everybody appreciates a nice smile. A great smile
makes a favorable impression on others and makes an individual
feel better about the way that they look.
porcelain crowns for patients who
wish to fix a cracked or fractured tooth, or improve the look and
function of discolored or worn teeth. Our crowns are made entirely
of porcelain, a strong and durable material that works well to
duplicate the look and function of natural teeth. Most crown placements
will require two appointments: one to prepare the tooth, create
a mold of the tooth, and place a temporary crown, and a second
to place the porcelain crown.
Are custom, porcelain facings that
are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to close spaces, repair
chipped or worn out teeth, straighten teeth or even whiten teeth.
The veneers are generally only about 1 mm thick (the thickness
of a fingernail). That same thickness is "shaved" off
the natural tooth surface so when the veneer is bonded to the tooth,
the tooth doesn't feel or look "thicker". Once the cement
is between the veneer and your tooth, a light beam is used to harden
it. Porcelain veneers require more than one visit because they
are fabricated in a laboratory. Veneers have a longer life expectancy
and color stability than bonding. Veneers are used to treat some
of the same problems as bonding. This treatment is an alternative
to crowns, which are more expensive.
Make your smile attractive both inside
and out by replacing old, silver amalgam fillings that have gone
dark with age with natural tooth colored inlay or onlays.
Are in vogue today, as replacement
for silver fillings. The tooth coloured fillings material look
successfully natural with the adjacent tooth and more aesthetic.
Since teeth are translucent, dark fillings cause the whole tooth
to appear darker when viewed from the side. Replacing older dark
fillings with white fillings definitely enhance the glow in your
smile! Another advantage is that less healthy part of a tooth must
be removed to hold this filling in place. These fillings require
only a single visit. Besides looking better, these teeth are now
more resistant to fracture.
are a long-term option for tooth replacement;
Replacement of one missing tooth, several teeth or an entire arch
of teeth has become possible through tested technology, which has
proven that with proper maintenance and care. This is a specialised
field of dentistry, more by way of training and experience, performed
by Prosthodontists, Periodontists or Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons.
A missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant rather than
a partial denture. A small titanium screw is fixed into the jaw
and the crown or tooth is fitted. In time, the screw becomes fused
(osseointegeration) with the bone of the jaw.
The diode laser is the best instrument
to use when the gum surgery is of cosmetic nature. This type of
laser is a solid-state diode laser that uses micron fiber that
can be directed toward soft tissue that enables to shape the gums
to the proportions. This type of treatment doesn't cause a lot
of damage to the soft tissues of the mouth and it also makes recovery
easier and faster.
Lasers are often used to correct such anomaly as a "gummy" type
of smile. After making sure that the patient is relaxed - through
use of nitrous oxide, for example - the tissue can be sculpted
by using continuous laser stream. Once the tissue is removed from
the teeth, the doctor is able to sculpt it properly to create the
right proportions, height and width-wise.
