Some of the Cosmetic Dentistry procedures are
Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth (implant crown) is attached to the implant. The implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place.
Dental Crowns
A crown, also called a cap, is a hollow, artificial tooth used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. The crown restores the tooth and helps to protect it from further damage. Crowns can also be used to cover a discoloured or misshapen tooth. A tooth that has been fixed with a crown looks and works very much like a natural tooth. Crowns can be made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
Dental Bridges
A bridge, also called a “fixed bridge” or a “fixed dental prosthesis,” is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It extends across an area that has no teeth and is typically made up of an artificial tooth fused between 2 crowns. A bridge is permanently cemented and can only be removed by a dental professional
Porcelain Veneers
Generally made of porcelain, veneers are thin custom shells that cover the front side of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are ideal choice for improving your smile and are often recommended by dentists to quickly fix poor shape, small gaps, damaged teeth or discolouration.
Orthodontic Treatment – Invisalign
Invisalign is the most common cosmetic treatment used to correct teeth that are crooked, crowded, or that stick out. Invisalign improves not only the look of your smile but your health as well.
Bioclear Method
The Bioclear Method is a conservative technique which can be used for multiple purposes. It can be used to fill in black triangles between teeth that form as we get older, after Invisalign/braces, or gum surgeries. It can also be used to close gaps between teeth, fix chipped or broken teeth and build up small teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Everyone loves to have a star bright white smile but due to age, smoking, consuming too much tea, coffee, cola or wine, the teeth become discoloured. Your dentist at South Trail Crossing Dental can discuss options with you to help you get your smile look whiter and less discoloured.
The above procedures vary in cost, complexity, and results. It is important to discuss your options with your dentist to determine the best procedure for you. The condition of your teeth is a major factor in finding a treatment, and the same technique that worked for someone else may not be the right one for you. Gathering all the necessary information before a cosmetic procedure is critical to being happy with the results.
