A smile is an integral part of the first impression we make. Cosmetic Dentistry is all about appearance – making teeth whiter, straighter or more even, ensuring gums are a healthy rich colour and smiles sparkle. The treatment of appearance related disorders brings joy and a sense of accomplishment to both the patient and the practitioner.

Cosmetic Dentistry is an exciting new aspect of dentistry. In recent years it has come a long way in providing effective, painless methods to repair, mask or reconstruct dental defects. Cosmetic Dentistry can brighten dull teeth, whiten stained teeth, cover white spots, close spaces between teeth, repair chipped teeth, conceal metal fillings, straighten mildly crooked teeth and may even alter the signs of aging by masking worn-down teeth and eliminating vertical lip wrinkles.

Cosmetic services include:

Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular and affordable new areas of Cosmetic Dentistry. Whitening improves internal stains and can usually be achieved after two hours in the dental chair, or by two-three weeks of home use.

Bonding

Bonding can close gaps, repair chipped or fractured teeth and even disguise discoloured teeth that won’t respond to bleaching.

Composite or Porcelain Fillings

Composite or porcelain fillings are an attractive, more natural looking option to the amalgam metal fillings of old. If you want teeth that look great and are mercury free, a posterior composite or porcelain restoration may be your treatment of choice.

Porcelain Veneers

Also know as facings, these can be customized from either porcelain or tooth-coloured filling material to cover teeth that are severely stained or discoloured. Veneers made from porcelain are thin, semi-translucent laminates, permanently bonded to the fronts of teeth. Due to their very natural appearance, the durability of porcelain and their ability to tenaciously bond to the tooth structure, porcelain veneers have established themselves as the ultimate anterior restoration.

Crowns

Crowns are tailored to surround the whole tooth to cover heavily filled or unsightly teeth. Not only do crowns improve overall appearance, but they also strengthen the tooth. The different types of crowns available include all ceramic and ceramic-metal type crowns.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics can be used to move malpositioned teeth into the correct position, to close spaces between teeth and to improve mild crowding. In recent years much advancement has been made into the aesthetics of orthodontistry.
