Cosmetic dentistry is a concept with many different definitions. For us, cosmetic dentistry is essentially all the treatments needed to make you feel confident about your smile. Therefore, someone’s “makeover” journey can involve teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, alignment, gum contouring, or dental implants to achieve a functional, long-lasting, and a beautiful smile.
A lot of people think that cosmetic dentistry is all about placing veneers on your teeth. However, with advances in dental technology, we now have more tools to help you achieve your goals.
Whenever possible, our cosmetic dentists adopt the ABC Concept, a no-drill approach that improves the appearance of your smile while preserving your natural tooth structure.
The ABC Concept stands for Alignment, Bleaching, and Contouring – a three-fold minimally invasive technique that repairs misaligned, discolored, misshapen, and chipped teeth.
Gum contouring is a procedure performed to sculpt the gums and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Reshaping the gums and removing any excess are common ways to treat gummy smiles.
At My Dental Clinic, we use lasers to reshape the gum line and improve the proportions between the teeth and gum tissues. Unlike traditional methods, laser gum contouring operates at great precision which means there is less bleeding, minimal discomfort, no need for sutures, and faster recovery.
Professional teeth whitening is a safe and cost-effective way to improve one’s smile, making it one of the most requested cosmetic dental procedures in our practice. There are two ways to whiten your teeth. If you wish to get immediate results, you may opt for in-office Zoom whitening with any of our hygienists. If you’re keen on doing it yourself, you may do so with home whitening.
Veneers are a very thin layer of dental material that is securely placed over a tooth to cover and repair fractures, close gaps, or lighten stained teeth. Veneers come in different materials each with their strengths and limitations. They are a durable way of restoring the aesthetics and function of your smile.
Composite bonding is a modern, cost-effective, and minimally invasive way to rejuvenate discolored, chipped, misshapen teeth. Our cosmetic dentists apply and shape a composite resin to enhance the contours or color your teeth. This is a popular no-drill aesthetic dental procedure that is often completed in a single visit.
Every smile makeover is unique to our patient’s individual needs. It may involve one or more aesthetic treatments such as porcelain veneers, crowns, or composite bonding, but the goal is the same – to give you a confident smile that allows you to look and feel your best.
