Illuminate Your Smile: Cosmetic Dentistry Options for A Confident You

Written by Clove Dental Team | Jun 14, 2023 3:37:34 PM

Everyone deserves a smile that not only feels healthy but also looks radiant. Cosmetic dentistry specializes in enhancing the aesthetics of your teeth, helping to boost your confidence and illuminate your smile. From teeth whitening to dental bonding, there are several treatments available. Let's delve into the popular cosmetic dentistry options offered at Clove Dental to help you achieve that brighter, picture-perfect smile you've been dreaming of.

1. Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments is teeth whitening or bleaching. This process effectively removes stains and discolouration, giving you a noticeably whiter smile. Although there are at-home options available, professional teeth whitening conducted at our dental office provides more noticeable and longer-lasting results, ensuring your smile shines its brightest.

2. Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers are an excellent option for those looking to improve their smile's appearance by correcting various issues such as discolouration, chips, cracks, or gaps between teeth.

 

3. Dental Bonding

In dental bonding, a tooth-colored, putty-like resin is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, bonding the material to the tooth. Your dentist then trims, shapes, and polishes it. Bonding can repair decayed, chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth, and is also a great cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings.

4. Dental Crowns

A dental crown, often called a 'cap,' fits over and replaces the entire decayed or damaged tooth above the gum line. It restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, resin, or ceramic and are used to protect a weak tooth, restore a broken tooth, cover a dental implant, hold a dental bridge in place, or cover discolored or misshapen teeth.

5. Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays, also known as indirect fillings, are made from gold, porcelain, or composite materials and fill decayed or damaged teeth. Dental inlays and onlays are a well-fitting, stronger, longer-lasting reparative solution to tooth decay or similar damage.

6. Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who suffer from missing teeth, failing teeth, or chronic dental problems. They fit, feel, and function like natural teeth because they are designed to fuse with bone, making them permanent.

7. Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign aligners are a modern, virtually invisible approach to straightening your teeth without the need for metal braces. Custom-made for your teeth and made of a smooth, clear plastic, these aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired place.
