You have probably seen television shows about makeovers. It is amazing what new clothes, a new hairstyle and professionally applied makeup can do to create a whole new look. Smile makeovers may not be as widely publicized, but they are equally as effective in making others view you in a whole new light. Cosmetic dentist, Dr. May & Dr. Layth can improve your smile through one or more cosmetic dental procedures and have you flashing a gorgeous smile in less time than you may think.
The dentists at Molson Park Dental Office work tirelessly to keep your teeth healthy while preserving and improving the overall smile. Generally, tooth-coloured fillings let our dentists treat tooth decay and cavities. That means no one will ever notice that you had cavities at some point.
Suppose you open your mouth wide; will the other people around you notice the number of times you have been at a dentist’s chair for dental cavity fillings? In case your entire mouth is sprinkled with silver fillings, perhaps it’s time to consider having these fillings replaced with excellent tooth-coloured fillings. Our cosmetic dentist performs this dental procedure to keep our patients’ smiles looking pearly white and beautiful despite any tooth damage or decay they had previously.
At Molson Park Dental Office, our priority is to keep your teeth healthy while preserving and improving the overall beauty of your smile. Tooth-coloured filling options allow the dentist to successfully treat tooth decay such that no one will ever notice you had dental cavities or tooth damage previously. Our doctors can successfully hide the different signs of tooth decay using porcelain veneers (inlays or onlays) and composite fillings.
White or tooth-coloured fillings are used the same way as silver amalgam dental fillings. The decaying tissue is removed, and the resulting cavity is filled with a resin material that looks like a putty. The resin colour is matched to your natural teeth colour to ensure it doesn’t stand out. Some patients prefer having their existing silver fillings removed and replaced with naturally-coloured fillings. Our team of dentists can perform this procedure effectively and safely.
Porcelain inlays and onlays can be used if your tooth has suffered extensive decay or damage that cannot be fixed using regular dental filling but not severe enough to necessitate a dental crown. Instead of covering the entire tooth with a dental crown, porcelain inlay can correct the tooth’s indented space, while porcelain onlays can be used where the problems are on the tooth’s ridges or cusps.
Our team of highly experienced dentists uses high-quality porcelain materials when fitting a patient with dental inlays or onlays. Keep in mind that these are custom-made items created in a laboratory for an absolutely precise fit and natural colour that matches your tooth. Some of the advantages of porcelain onlays and inlays include:
