Are your teeth stained, worn, discoloured, broken, missing, or misaligned? Modern cosmetic dentistry can offer you a simple and affordable solution to restore your beautiful smile.
A simple “smile makeover” can improve the overall appearance of your smile and boost your self-confidence through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Your cosmetic dentist in Laval will work with you to determine the best cosmetic dentistry procedure for you and guide you on what to expect. Here are some of the common cosmetic dentistry procedures that can improve your smile and make you feel better.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is also referred to as “teeth bleaching”, and it is one of the most basic cosmetic dentistry procedures performed at a dentist office. The primary goal of teeth whitening is to restore your natural teeth appearance after discolouration or staining.
Before whitening, your dentist will first clean your teeth to ensure that there is no plaque or tartar left on them.
After that, he/she will carefully apply a whitening/bleaching solution to restore their natural appearance. In some cases, people use teeth whitening to achieve shades that are much lighter than their natural teeth colour.
Dental Implant
A dental implant is a metallic device that is carefully designed to replace missing teeth. The device is made out of titanium and is surgically inserted into your jawbone where the tooth is missing.
Additional dental work may be required to strengthen your jawbone or lift the sinus after the procedure. One of the most significant befits of dental implants is that they are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding natural teeth.
Once your jawbone and surrounding tissue fuse to the dental implant, it becomes permanently secured in place. You must practice good oral hygiene to keep the implant in excellent condition.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is the process of repairing damaged, decayed, or discoloured teeth using a unique material that closely resembles the colour of the enamel.
Your dentist in Laval carefully drills out the tooth decay and then applies the composite on the remaining surface before sculpting it into the right shape.
Once the composite is sculpted into the right shape, curing is done using a high-intensity light. This cosmetic dentistry procedure restores a damaged tooth to its natural appearance.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are a thin shell made out of composite material or porcelain. Veneers are custom made for each patient and are usually designed to resemble an individual’s natural teeth. They look exceptionally real and can be used to fix a wide range of other dental issues such as cracked enamel and cracked teeth. Veneers can also be used to fill a minor gap in between your teeth.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, also referred to as a cap, is designed to fit over and replace the entire damaged or decayed tooth above your gum line restoring its natural shape, size, strength, and appearance.
A dental crown can prevent a weak tooth from breaking or hold a cracked tooth together. Crowns can also be sued to cover discoloured or misaligned teeth and are much more affordable than dental implants.
