A successful smile makeover is a team effort between you and the dentists who treat you. Depending on which procedures you choose, other highly skilled professionals such as dental lab technicians may also play a crucial role.

Some common cosmetic dentistry procedures include:

• Composite Bonding to repair small chips ,cracks or to close the midline diastema
• Correction of gummy smiles-gum recontouring
• Gum depigmentation
• Porcelain Veneers, for repairing larger chips and cracks, and reshaping teeth
• Teeth Whitening, to brighten a faded or discoloured smile
• Tooth-Coloured Fillings, for a completely natural, healthy look

The most important job you have as a member of your own smile makeover team is to communicate exactly what you don’t like about your smile and how you’d like it to be different. Before the first consultation, give some thought to the following questions: What do you like or dislike about the colour, size, shape and spacing of your teeth? Are you pleased with how much your teeth show, both when you smile and when your lips are relaxed? Do you want teeth that are perfectly aligned and a bright “Hollywood White,” or would you prefer a more natural look with slight colour, shape and shade variations?

Would you like more or less of your gums to show when you smile?

It is extremely helpful for you to bring in pictures you have collected — of smiles you like, smiles you don’t like, and/or photos of the way your own smile used to look, if that’s the result you’re aiming for. Now is the time to get started on creating a smile that will make you feel as good as you look! Please call us if you have any questions about our cosmetic dentistry services.

Veneers

Veneers can transform a smile dramatically, sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics.” A set of veneers can correct chips, stains, and even deeply discoloured teeth. But they can also alter the length and size of teeth. While it sounds dramatic, only the stunning visual outcome is surprising. Veneers provide a highly conservative approach to aesthetic smile makeovers.

Veneers display the ultimate in dental art and science, handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. Like a contact lens, these paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. But don’t be fooled by the thin characteristics of this material. Many unique features can be incorporated into the ceramics, replicating any look you want to create. Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns & can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment & creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long-lasting & are relatively easy to apply.
