How Does Cosmetic Dentistry Work?
Unlike other dental specializations, cosmetic dentistry does not consist of just one type of treatment. It uses all types of treatments to restore the look and feel of your natural smile so that you can feel confident and eat the foods you love again without worrying about how your smile looks. After all, who wants to feel self-conscious every time they go public?
One of the best things about cosmetic dentistry is that many procedures do more than make your smile look great; they help restore, preserve, and protect your teeth from damage that life has done to them.
What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Do?
Cosmetic dentistry works to make teeth look better, but this can mean a lot of different things. Many patients come to the Dental Clinic in Scarborough, ON, for teeth whitening, but there are other choices.
Dental bonding restores the shape of teeth that are not formed correctly and can even correct things like color variations and gaps in teeth. Crowns help to repair a broken or cracked tooth and protect it from further damage while restoring the natural shape of the tooth and your ability to eat the foods you love and dental veneers provide a covering over the teeth that makes them look great.
No matter what shape your teeth are in, cosmetic dentistry has options that can help you.
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Dental Crowns
We place dental crowns to encase a tooth for functional and aesthetic purposes. Dental crowns are crafted of porcelain or ceramic material that blends flawlessly with the other teeth. Crowns fabricated of ceramic or porcelain are durable and can resist cracks, making them ideal for molars and front teeth.
Our dentist in Scarborough, ON, can use crowns to repair broken, cracked, and misshapen teeth. Tooth crowns can serve you up to 15 years or more if you keep proper care. If you have had root canal therapy or dental implant surgery, our dentist places dental crowns to complete the procedures. In root canals, crowns provide added protection and preservation of the treated teeth. In dental implants, crowns provide the tooth’s visible structure.
Teeth Whitening
Seeking professional whitening provides a viable way to elevate your smile in just one visit. In-office whitening or chairside whitening can be completed within one hour or so. If your teeth have discolored or become yellow, you can get in-office whitening at our dental clinic in Scarborough, ON. We use a professional-grade bleaching agent to eliminate surface stains.
Our dentist uses a retractor to expose the teeth needing treatment. We also shield the gums and lips from irritation or possible burns from the concentrated bleaching gel. Once we apply the gel, we let it remain on teeth surfaces for roughly 15 to 30 minutes to act on the enamel. We cleanse the tooth after each application session and check the results. We compare the results to the initial shade. Our dentist repeats the process several times until we attain the desired shade or color transformation you wish to get.
Dental Veneers
We use dental veneers to cover the front teeth surfaces. These thin shells can help hide imperfections within the smile zone or the front portion of teeth that people show when they smile. During the veneer placement process, our dentist removes a small enamel tissue. The filing down of enamel provides room for the exact fit of the veneer shells to the tooth.
Anyone who has chipped or broken teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, or teeth that are smaller than usual can benefit from veneers. Additionally, people with teeth stains that have failed to respond to professional in-office whitening can get veneers to camouflage the stains. Veneers last 10 to 15 years with adequate care.
Dental Bonding
Our dentist can repair decay, chips, fractures, and stains with tooth bonding. It is a minimally invasive treatment that helps transform a smile. We can also use dental bonding to make your teeth appear longer and close gaps between teeth. When performing dental bonding, our dentist selects the shade of the resin material and prepares the tooth. The preparation involves roughening the teeth and conditioning them. After that, we apply the resin material and cure it with curing light. We then polish the tooth to attain a natural shine. Visit Dental Metaverse Clinic to receive your cosmetic dental treatment.
