Whether for better or for worse, the appearance of our teeth is a big factor in boosting self confidence for a lot of us. We all want that million-dollar smile to boast of, but some people need that little bit of extra help to get the teeth of their dreams. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in, with procedures tailormade to improve the appearance of your teeth, and, in turn, stopping you from feeling self-conscious about your smile.

What Do Cosmetic Dentists Do?

A cosmetic dentist’s primary job is to provide professional oral care that focuses on improving the aesthetics of your smile. Though the services they provide are not essential, the demand for cosmetic dentistry procedures is only getting more popular, and it is a viable option for people across all age groups. Some of the common procedures that cosmetic dentists provide make changes to tooth alignment, size, position and colour. With advances in technology, cosmetic dental surgery provides more natural results than ever before.

Services Offered by Our Cosmetic Dentists

The cosmetic dentists at our Collingwood dental practice are highly trained and experienced in the services they offer, which will help you improve and maintain the appearance of your teeth, mouth, gums and smile. The cosmetic dentistry services we offer include:

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a solution to replace missing teeth. Implants look and feel natural, and are a suitable and permanent solution for adults.

White Fillings

White fillings are a quick, easy and painless treatment for tooth decay and cavities. Made of composite resin, white fillings provide a more natural look to match the colour of your teeth as compared to silver or metal amalgam fillings. Tooth decay should be treated as soon as possible, and white fillings are a perfect stopgap solution to prevent more serious dental treatment being needed.

Dental Veneers

Used to improve the appearance and functionality of existing teeth, dental veneers are custom-made shells designed to look like natural teeth. Dental veneers can help fix imperfections in your mouth such as uneven spacing, misalignment or a chipped tooth, and improve both the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a transparent, custom-made aligner made of plastic that helps straighten your teeth and gently shift them into place. Invisalign is virtually invisible, is comfortable to wear, easy to clean. Additionally, unlike braces, there are no restricted foods while your teeth are being treated.

Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, teeth whitening can restore the colour of your teeth if you have any kind of staining or discolouration. Staining can be a result of certain foods, like wine, tea or coffee, but teeth whitening can rectify the problem.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are used to fill gaps between your teeth, and are cemented on top of your surrounding teeth. Unlike dentures, crowns are more permanent, durable and are easy to install.

How To Choose a Good Cosmetic Dentist?

Before you choose a cosmetic dentist, you need to make sure to do your research, since cosmetic dentistry is a very personal journey, and different practices will have different skills and specialisations. The surgeon’s talent and skills, and the clinic they conduct their practice at, can all play a crucial role in influencing your decision, along with the price being charged.

We will always help you make the decision that is best for you and your teeth.
