More people investigate cosmetic dentistry in Newcastle to achieve the smile of their dreams. Cosmetic dentistry uses a blend of artistry, science, and technology to create teeth that enhance a person’s smile in a shape, size, and colour that is complimentary to their appearance. A smile makeover can use one or more treatments to achieve the desired effect. It can include teeth whitening, crowns and bridges, porcelain veneers, dental implants and adult orthodontics using a nearly invisible aligner system called Invisalign.
Every smile makeover we provide is customized, providing an effect that can be subtle or more significant, depending on your aims and desires. Listed below are some of the reasons for considering a smile makeover.
Feeling Self-Conscious About Your Smile
When you are aware your teeth don’t look their best, it can be tempting to hide your mouth and try to smile with your mouth closed. If this sounds familiar, our cosmetic dentist in Clarington can gently assess your dental health and will talk with you to discover your ideal smile.
We can use digital smile design technology to create a digital image showing how you could look after treatment. It’s a great tool for planning a smile makeover and ensuring we meet your aesthetic goals.
Your Teeth Look Discoloured and Dingy
Tooth discolouration is a very common complaint and happens with age or because of lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking red wine, coffee and tea, or eating a lot of acidic foods that gradually erode your tooth enamel.
A dental checkup allows us to discover why your teeth have discoloured and discuss suitable options to restore their lustre. Sometimes all that’s needed is a simple teeth whitening treatment, and the best and safest option is to have this done professionally. We can assess how well your teeth will respond to teeth whitening and ensure it is completed comfortably and quickly. However, some teeth may not respond to teeth whitening, such as those that are stained internally. In this case, one option is to have porcelain veneers that cover the front surface of teeth.
You Need to Repair Chipped and Broken Teeth
It is essential to repair teeth that are broken or chipped because any break in tooth enamel can let in infection-causing bacteria. Sometimes a tooth can be easily mended with a tooth-coloured filling made from durable, attractive composite resin. If a tooth is substantially decayed, we may suggest covering it entirely with a beautiful ceramic crown.
You Need to Replace Teeth
Many people are missing one or more teeth, and the ideal way to replace them is using dental implants in Courtice. A dental implant crown looks incredibly natural and functions just like a real tooth. It also helps protect existing teeth ensuring they remain in the proper place and protecting the bone around them. If you are missing multiple teeth, dental implants are an excellent solution. Dental implant bridges can replace multiple teeth in the same area of your mouth. They can even replace complete arches. An alternative is to consider an implant denture that is much more stable and secure than an ordinary denture.
Ensuring Your Smile Looks Natural
When planning a smile makeover, we go to extensive lengths to ensure the results look entirely natural and compliment your facial features, providing the proper support for the muscles in your cheeks and lips. If you are currently missing multiple teeth or have teeth that are broken down and failing, you may be surprised at the difference this can make to your appearance. We also make sure every restoration is functional, so it looks good and ensures you can eat comfortably.
