4 Ideas for Your Cosmetic Dental Smile Makeover

Do you feel self-conscious when you smile? Speaking with your dentist about your insecurities and the potential benefits of different cosmetic dentistry options can help develop a treatment plan to get you on the path to a confident smile.

Read on for some of the cosmetic dentistry services we provide at our office in Comox Valley, and book an appointment with Dr. Phil to discuss your options!

1. Teeth Whitening 

A primary concern for many people is the staining they have on their teeth, making teeth whitening treatments a popular cosmetic procedure. It's often the first thing people do because it's easy, non-invasive, and will generally see results with 1-2 weeks.

Speak with your dentist about the benefits of our customized take-home teeth whitening kits!

2. Bonding and Fillings 

Even when the teeth are straight, more work may be required to get your desired smile. Your dentist may suggest adding composite onto some teeth to change their shape or size to better match the surrounding teeth. 

The composite is a mixture of glass particles in a resin that resembles natural teeth perfectly. When installed correctly, no one will ever be able to tell it's there! 

3. Porcelain Veneers 

Sometimes composite won't be enough to make the changes you need to your teeth, which is when veneers may be recommended. 

Veneers are essentially porcelain shells that cover the entire tooth to give it a new look and shape. Your dentist can form them to fill in gaps, protect weak teeth, or alter the shape of the tooth.

4. Dental Implants

For some patients, a complete smile makeover may be necessary when many teeth are missing or if too much damage is done to save the tooth. This is where dental implants may be recommended to completely transform a patient's smile. Implants involve precise techniques to create the right shape and fit, as well as match the colour of your existing teeth.
