Veneers
Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns, especially for people who have large spaces between their teeth. Veneers are very thin rigid shells made of a ceramic material. After your General Dentist has taken an impression of the teeth, the veneer/s is constructed in our laboratory. On your second visit the teeth are prepared to accommodate the veneer, which are then bonded to the teeth, resulting in a very natural look.
Composite Bonding
Composite Bonding is generally used as a more conservative alternative to veneers when cavities or stains appear on visible front teeth. The procedure uses a composite resin, which can be matched to any tooth color. This is applied to the tooth with a mild adhesive and then cured with a light. Whilst in its putty form, your General Dentist will mould it to the desired contours so that its appearance is like that of a natural tooth.
Cosmetic Contouring
Cosmetic contouring can be used when the teeth are uneven or worn. Your dentist carefully removes small areas of the enamel and reshapes, smoothes and polishes the tooth to look more attractive. This is a painless process and does not harm the tooth.
Porcelain Onlays and Inlays
Porcelain Onlays and Inlays are another procedure to consider in Cosmetic Dentistry. Onlays and Inlays are a good option for restoration of teeth. They are effective in particular for fixing the back area of your teeth. An Onlay covers all points while an Inlay is similar to a filling. Both the Onlay and Inlay are formed from a composite resin. This resin is tooth colored and painlessly bonded to the tooth. The resin structurally reinforces the tooth ensuring your smile lasts for a long time.
Whitening and Bleaching
A common problem among those considering Cosmetic Dentistry is stains on the teeth. The simplest and least expensive way to brighten the color of your teeth is through Teeth Whitening or Teeth Bleaching. Teeth whitening can last for five years if the patient avoids things that overly stain teeth such as coffee and smoking.
