Cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the appearance of teeth.  This may be in the form of replacing existing silver fillings, changing the colour of the teeth, aligning or moving teeth, replacing missing teeth or masking worn or unsightly teeth.

We all want healthy teeth and gums, fresh breath and the confidence and comfort to choose whatever we would like to eat. But we also want to smile freely, with poise and the assurance that our smile does what it is meant to do: to present and represent us; to be an attractive and welcoming feature .

People who do not have perfect teeth now have several options to fix their problems. Due to modern technological breakthroughs in the field of dentistry, the cosmetic dentist can give new and innovative treatments to improve how your teeth look.

Common cosmetic dental procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, white fillings, dentine bonded restorations, orthodontics, gum reshaping, implants and dental bridges.

If you are considering cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile, you should seek the advice of a dentist with an interest in cosmetic smile design.  All cosmetic dentistry like all routine dentistry starts with well maintained gums and bone support for the teeth.  Therefore any underlying periodontal (gum) disease or poor oral hygiene must be addressed first to provide sound foundations for any restorative dental treatment especially cosmetic dentistry.  Periodontal and hygiene treatments may be performed by the dental hygienist or the dentist or a combination from both professionals.
