What is Cosmetic Dentistry

​

Regular dental care can at times become unfeasible and make you feel unsatisfied with your smile. In such situations, cosmetic dentistry comes in handy to help you improve your teeth, gums and smile. The procedure involves various dental surgeries to keep you smiling confidently. Modern cosmetic dentistry has become more popular because of its efficiency in restoring confidence in people's smiles.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

​

If your smile seems to affect your self-esteem and first impression in public, then cosmetic dentistry is what you need. Our dentist offers a wide array of cosmetic dentistry procedures based on individual problems. Here are practices involved in our cosmetic dentistry:

SureSmile orthodontics: This involves straightening teeth using nearly invisible and removable aligners, custom-made for individual patients. If you have misaligned teeth, our dentist will recommend SureSmile® orthodontics.

​

Clear Aligners (Teeth Straightening)

 

We use SureSmile® clear aligners. SureSmile® Clear Aligners use advanced technology and proven materials to provide a customized, comfortable fit from the first aligner to the last. SureSmile® Aligners also promote better oral hygiene and you'll enjoy: straighter teeth and a confident, beautiful smile.

​

Benefits of clear aligners

Using new, custom-built trays every 2 weeks, teeth are gently moved into their new positions to correct a variety of orthodontic problems (including crowding, spacing, crossbites, overbites) usually in a shorter time than traditional braces and as such, are becoming an increasingly popular option in. Other benefits include:

​

• Invisibility: clear aligners are virtually invisible and allow you to straighten your teeth without others knowing, which means fewer interruptions to your social life

• Fewer visits to the dentist: there are no adjustment appointments necessary (vs. metal braces)

• Fewer disruptions to normal life: because they are removable, there are no dietary restrictions, and they allow for normal brushing and flossing (not the case with metal braces)

• Increased comfort: forget wires poking you in your gums, clear aligners can be easily slipped on over the teeth and worn comfortably for at least 22 hours a day

Teeth whitening

 

It is an essential and typical cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves bleaching a patient's teeth to make them whiter. The procedure often targets discolored teeth with debris, tartar, and plaque buildup.

​

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

As a cosmetic procedure, teeth whitening offers many benefits to patients including boosting your self-confidence because of your dazzling new smile, enhancing your appearance because of the removal of unsightly stains and discoloration of teeth caused by diet, and aging and it can even make your look younger!

​

Cosmetic Bonding

 

Also referred to as composite bonding, it is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that entails covering damaged, cracked, decayed, and chipped teeth. Cosmetic bonding is an inexpensive procedure that gives patients the needed smile.

​

Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding

Not only is cosmetic bonding an excellent option for those who are looking for an inexpensive way to fix cosmetic problems, but it is also a quick and non-invasive option, taking as little as 30-60 minutes per tooth, while still providing high-quality results for those who cannot commit to longer and more expensive treatments. The use of composite resin allows for color matching with your existing to create a perfect, natural-looking smile.

​

Porcelain Crowns and Veneers

​

If you have crooked teeth, noticeable gaps, or damaged enamel, our dentist will recommend this cosmetic dentistry procedure. It uses medical-grade ceramic to provide natural and realistic teeth restoration solutions to patients. Besides, it is an alternative when teeth whitening seems ineffective.

​

Porcelain crowns are a full coverage restoration that can restore the structure, function, and aesthetics of a tooth that is misaligned, misshapen, or discolored. Though they typically last between 10-15 years, they can last much longer if cared for properly.

Porcelain veneers use the strength and superior aesthetics of porcelain to enhance the appearance of teeth when bonded to the facial (front) surface of teeth and can last as long as crowns.

​

Replacing Old Dentistry

 

Patients with outdated cosmetic dentistry work require a restoration process to replace old procedures. Whether you have an old dental implant, bonding, or veneers, Traditional Dental can help you replenish it.

​

Where restorations or composite veneers have become stained or discolored over time, a quick re-do can restore your smile and have it look brand new. Where there is decay under a crown or fractured (depending on the extent), a replacement will become necessary, or the entire crown and tooth could be lost.

​

Dental Implants

 

Patients with one or more missing teeth can consider dental implants to provide permanent teeth replacement solutions. Here, the dentist will insert titanium screws into the jaw to support the dental crown. Furthermore, dental implants are usually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

​

Dental implants not only look and feel like natural teeth, but they also allow for normal functioning with no restriction to diet. Where a tooth is lost, the jawbone in the space deteriorates because there is a lack of stimulation usually supplied by teeth. Without implant placement, 25% of the volume of bone is lost and will continue as time progresses whereas, with an implant, chewing is restored to normal, providing the stimulation required for natural bone growth.
