Cosmetic Dentistry

Not everyone is happy with the smile they’ve been given. You may have chipped teeth, gaps between your teeth, or missing teeth that make it hard for you to smile. Maybe your teeth are smaller than the average teeth. You no longer have to live with your teeth the way they are.

A few options for changing the shape of your teeth include using to cap your teeth, using veneers, or reshaping your teeth. If your teeth are bigger than you’d like, reshaping removes small amounts of the enamel from your teeth to make them shorter or shaped differently.

How long your Zoom whitening will last depends on how well you take care of your teeth. If you eat a lot of foods or drink a lot of coffee and tea, you will find that your whitening won’t last as long because you are continually re-staining your teeth. Smoking will also cause your whitening to fade faster.

By following your teeth whitening up with proper dental hygiene, and watching what you eat and drink, your Zoom whitening can last for a few months. You may also want to add a whitening toothpaste to your regular dental hygiene schedule for a little extra boost in whitening power.

With all teeth whitening products, there are risks to your teeth and gums. By getting your whitening done at our dental office, you ensure that safe steps are taken to keep your mouth healthy. Teeth whitening solutions, like Zoom, are safer when used under the care of a dental professional.

It is when you are whitening too often or leaving the solution on for too long that you begin to risk the health of your mouth. The best rule to follow is to never whiten at home unless you’re using a product approved by your dentist and follow the directions.

There are a few different options, things you can do at home or at the dentist when it comes to whitening your teeth. The types of foods you eat and drink, as well as smoking, can stain your teeth – by watching what you’re putting in your mouth, you can prevent some stains before they even happen.

Once your teeth are stained, you can use whitening toothpaste to gradually whiten your teeth. For a more permanent, or longer lasting whitening, we can whiten your teeth right here in our office. It is safer to have your dental professional whiten your teeth than to use store bought whiteners at home. They can discolour your gums, cause burns, and even damage your teeth.

Dental veneers, or porcelain veneers, are thin but durable shells that improve the look of your teeth by covering the front surface. They are then bonded to the teeth to keep them in place. Not all veneers are made from porcelain. There are resin-made veneers that are less resistant to stains than the porcelain type.

Veneers not only offer you the chance to have differently shaped teeth, but they can also be used to change the length, size, and color of your teeth. They are most commonly used to fix teeth that are discolored, worn down, broken, or uneven.
