Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a common procedure in general dentistry and is especially prevalent in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many people consider white teeth to be the most attractive feature of any smile.
A child's deciduous teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow, and as a person ages, teeth often become darker due to internal changes in the mineral structure, as well as from external staining caused by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco.
The procedure used to whiten teeth employs oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten the shade of the tooth. The oxidizing agents penetrate the porosities in the rod-like crystals of the enamel and oxidize stain deposits. Whitening procedures are usually reserved for adults and restricted to children under the age of 16 whose teeth are still forming and maturing.
If you are unhappy with the shade of your teeth or have tried store-bought products that have not met your expectations, our custom home whitening systems might provide a solution. In as few as 7-14 days, our very effective method will give you the whiter, brighter smile you desire, with results that will last months or years.
Put the sparkle back in your teeth, and let us make you smile!
Cosmetic Bonding & Fillings
At our clinic we believe that you and your teeth deserve the very best that dentistry has to offer, and for that reason we do not use mercury-amalgam fillings. Instead, we use the highest quality dental composites.
Dental composites are a combination of very fine glass particles suspended in a resin mixture. Dental composites are safe, strong and attractive and share physical properties almost identical to natural tooth structure.
When using composites, the tooth is prepared and cleaned and then filled with moldable material. The composite is then quickly hardened (cured) in seconds with a special blue light and finally trimmed and polished to blend uniformly and artistically with the tooth.
When the need arises, Dr. Nasralla may recommend an indirect restoration, such as a porcelain Inlay or Onlay, which is stronger and more durable than direct (composite) restorations. Indirect restorations are indicated in cases where the tooth is worn or broken or when the cavity preparation is too large for conventional fillings.
These highly esthetic restorations are custom-made in a dental laboratory and are bonded to the tooth to provide form, function and strength. However, unlike dental composites, inlays and onlays require more attention to detail, including impressions (moulds) of the prepared tooth and an extra appointment to bond it in place after it arrives from the laboratory.
Whether restored directly (composites) or indirectly (Inlays or Onlays), the tooth's strength, integrity and beauty can last many years with the help of good dental hygiene habits and regular dental check-ups.
Porcelain Veneers
Your smile is often the first thing people notice.
What does your smile say about you?
If you want to add beauty or power to your smile without much discomfort, porcelain veneers may be the right option for you. By combining technology and expert cosmetic dentistry, the skilled team at Dr. Phil Nasralla's dental clinic in Comox can create your custom smile in just 2-3 visits.
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells with light-reflecting properties. When bonded to your teeth they increase the brilliance of your smile while looking and feeling like natural dentition.
Porcelain veneers are used in dentistry to:
Instantly whiten discoloured & faded teeth
Close small gaps between teeth
Alter & improve the shape or size of teeth
Make crooked teeth appear straight (instant orthodontics)
Rejuvenate chipped, worn or lackluster teeth (smile makeovers)
Porcelain veneers are a remarkable way of re-energizing your smile and reproducing what nature intended.
Smile Makeover
Is your smile the best it can be? Are you pleased with your appearance or are you self-conscious, unwilling to show your teeth and even hiding your mouth behind your hand when you speak or laugh?
Many people believe that their looks and the way they are perceived and/or accepted by others are directly affected by the appearance of their teeth and smile (e.g. an "ugly" smile or missing teeth suggests the individual has a lower I.Q.). Though this stereotype is unfounded, perception is reality in the public eye.
A smile makeover can be as simple as whitening one's teeth, but some cases require repairing decayed and chipped teeth or totally rejuvenating a smile with veneers or crowns. A smile makeover from Dr. Phil Nasralla can correct the appearance of crooked teeth, close gaps between teeth, and even brighten dark and aged teeth, often in as little as 1 or 2 visits.
Reward yourself with the smile you have always wanted and gain newfound confidence in your appearance. Contact us to reserve your smile evaluation, and let us make you smile again.
