Will I Benefit From Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic procedures are for people who may have missing, damaged, chipped or broken teeth as well as those with bite issues which can cause headaches and other pain. These, along with simply wishing to have a nicer, brighter smile, are good reasons to ask for a full consultation with us. Our cosmetic dentistry services include;
Tooth Coloured Fillings
When a tooth has a cavity, the unhealthy or soft tooth will need to be removed and replaced with a filling to prevent further breakdown of the tooth. Tooth coloured fillings are material which can match the existing tooth colour and blends in seamlessly, meaning you cannot even tell that you have had a filling at all.
Porcelain Veneers
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are very thin custom made coverings or shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth.
What types of problems do porcelain veneers correct?
Porcelain veneers are used to correct issues such as discoloration, spacing discrepancies (gaps), teeth that are too long or too short, and teeth that are irregularly shaped.
How long does it take to get porcelain veneers?
It usually requires 3 visits for porcelain veneers. First there is a consultations appointment, then an appointment to prepare the teeth and place temporary veneers. This will allow you to essentially have a test run to make sure your smile will be exactly how you want it. Finally, an appointment to apply the veneers.
