Cosmetic

Yellow or discoloured teeth can be a cause for embarrassment and can lead us to hide our smile. Smoking, wine drinking, coffee and tea intake can all contribute to discolouration of the teeth. Teeth whitening is a safe, non-invasive procedure that usually lifts stains from the pore of your tooth enamel. This allows your teeth to appear whiter, brighter and years younger when your treatment is complete.

Are you self-conscious about your smile, want straight teeth and are looking for a clear alternative to braces?

If you want to enhance your smile, Invisalign could be one of the solutions you have been looking for.

Invisalign clear aligners are a virtually invisible solution, so you can smile confidently both during treatment and after. Using a series of clear removable aligners, Invisalign treatment gradually moves your teeth toward the smile you’ve always wanted. And, almost no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.

Veneers are thin, custom made shells crafted of tooth coloured material called porcelain, designed to cover the front side of teeth. Malformed, discoloured and crooked teeth, smiles with unsightly teeth gaps or simply teeth that cannot be bleached are all cases where veneers would be used to create a more uniform smile.

Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, they can only be removed by a dentist. A crown is used to entirely cover or cap a damaged tooth. A bridge is made up of one or more crowns and bridges that gap created by missing teeth.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone to replace missing natural teeth. Implants and their attached crowns closely mimic the look and function of real teeth. They can make an attractive alternative to dentures and bridges.

A dental implant is designed to last for many years but poor oral hygiene can shorten its lifespan. Good oral hygiene is crucial. Like real teeth, artificial teeth that are not regularly brushed and flossed can develop deposits (plaque and calculus) that eventually lead to dental problems such as bleeding gums, loss of bone, infection and pain.
