What services are considered cosmetic dentistry?

Teeth whitening

Over time, teeth can become discolored due to what you eat and drink, smoking, and even your oral hygiene habits. Many people choose teeth whitening at the dental office or at home. Carbamide peroxide is the active ingredient in most teeth whitening solutions and can be effective in removing yellow, brown or orange stains. Some of the things you can use are:

• Trays with bleach solution
• Strips with whitening gel that stick to the teeth
• Whitening toothpaste

It’s best to avoid bleaches like activated charcoal, baking soda, lemon, or other abrasive or acidic options because they can damage tooth enamel. For safe and effective teeth whitening, talk to a cosmetic dentist in your city about the options that are best for you.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are often used to improve the appearance of teeth that are broken, worn, or discolored. In addition, they can also fill gaps between teeth. Veneers are made of porcelain or composite resin and quickly change the appearance of your smile. Additionally, crowns protect teeth from damage or decay. Veneers are durable and long-lasting and are a great option to improve the appearance of your smile.

Dental crown placement is a minimally invasive process. First, the dentist removes a small amount of the original tooth to prepare it for the crown. Then he places the cover on your tooth using a special adhesive. Porcelain veneers are usually made in a laboratory and are made to match the appearance of your existing teeth. In some cases, people receive a full set of veneers that may be several shades lighter than their original smile. Composite veneers are precisely molded to the shape of your teeth in the dentist’s office in Canada.

Crowns, bridges, implants, Inlays and Onlays

These dental procedures are usually used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. Although you may not consider these procedures to be cosmetic in practice, they can fix gaps in your smile and improve the appearance of broken or cracked teeth.

Crowns: Existing dental crowns that may have been damaged by damage or decay are covered in this way. Crowns can be made to match the appearance of your existing teeth and are very durable.

Bridges: If you are missing a tooth, a bridge can fill the gap. Bridges are attached to crowns that cover the teeth on either side of the gap.

Dental implants: Implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth that consist of a post that screws into the jawbone and a crown.

Inlays and onlays: Similar to fillings and veneers, inlays and onlays replace tooth structure that may have been lost due to decay.
