An attractive smile is one of the first things others notice about us and can help build our confidence, increase self-esteem, and leave an indelible mark in personal and professional interactions.
Cosmetic procedures can also provide restorative benefits and improve oral health, helping reduce the risk of future dental issues.
Tooth Whitening
No matter how well-maintained or what foods we consume, teeth will inevitably begin to lose their bright, white look over time. Luckily, tooth whitening is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Professional teeth whitening treatments can dramatically transform your smile by concealing minor flaws such as cracks, chips, or misalignment. Plus, a stunning smile can boost self-esteem and increase social confidence.
Studies have demonstrated that people with beautiful smiles make an immediate and favorable first impression when meeting potential partners and are more likely to secure employment opportunities. A vibrant smile also increases success in business meetings and social settings – hence why teeth whitening has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry services today.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain covers bonded directly onto the fronts of your teeth by a cosmetic dentist to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Veneers can improve appearance by covering misshapen, discolored, or gapped teeth while being durable enough to last years with occasional touch-ups as necessary.
Your dentist will assess your other teeth and skin tone to identify an ideal shade for veneers to ensure they complement your natural smile seamlessly.
Avoid foods and drinks that could stain veneers, including tea, coffee, red wine, berries, and tomato sauce. Brush twice daily and visit the dentist for regular check-ups to maintain both the strength and beauty of your veneers.
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are tooth-colored mixtures of glass and plastic that can restore decayed or cracked teeth while simultaneously improving the aesthetics of your smile. Unlike metal fillings, composite resin can be precisely shade-matched to match existing teeth for virtually invisible restoration.
As part oftheir standard procedure, dentists іn Toronto typically administerlocal anesthesia to numb the area before drilling and removing any damaged tooth structure. After this is completed, they layer composite resin onto each tooth using blue curing light in order to harden each individual layer of it.
Step four involves polishing and adjusting the composite fillings so as to achieve both a comfortable bite and natural-looking results in order to protect their lifespan and ensure long-term use of composite fillings, as well as avoid chewing hard or sticky foods for optimal performance.
Dental Bonding
An appealing smile can boost your self-confidence, which in turn boosts overall health and well-being. Cosmetic dental bonding offers an easy, cost-effective way to transform your smile.
Cosmetic bonding (also referred to as composite or tooth bonding) involves using tooth-colored resin to repair minor chips and cracks in your smile, hide stains, close gaps between your teeth, and even repair minor gaps between them – all in just one visit to your dentist’s office! The process is painless and quick – an efficient solution.
Dental bonding is a conservative treatment option that preserves more of your natural tooth structure than alternatives like veneers and crowns. It may last up to 10 years with regular brushing and visits to the dentist for cleanings and checkups, though it won’t provide lasting relief from severely chipped or decayed teeth.
Dental Crowns
Everyday habits such as chewing on hard substances, sports injuries, and normal aging can contribute to fragile teeth, leaving you at risk of breaking or chipping them when eating favorite foods. A crown can protect these weaker teeth so you can enjoy your meals without fear of breaking or chipping a tooth!
Dental crowns can help improve the look of damaged or unsightly teeth, creating a dramatic transformation to your smile.
Crowns can be constructed of many durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, resin, and metal alloys, from porcelain and ceramic to resin and metal alloys. Their colors can be tailored to match those of your natural teeth for a seamless, natural-looking result. When your dentist places a crown, she will first treat any existing decay or injury to the tooth before shaping it perfectly for its new location using our state-of-the-art iTero scanner, which eliminates messy impression goop or messy impression trays altogether!
