Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is an area of dentistry that seeks to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Cosmetic dentists can whiten teeth, replace missing teeth, and repair chipped teeth through a variety of cosmetic dentistry options, including tooth bleaching, porcelain veneers, dental implants, bonding, dental crowns, and bridges.

Crown and Bridge Work

The crown is the part of the tooth that is seen above the gums. Although teeth are strong they may become weakened if the tooth is chipped or broken, severely decayed, heavily filled or if the tooth has had a root canal.

In these cases, a crown is often the best way to save the tooth and strengthen it. A crown fits over the natural tooth and replaces the natural crown.

Bridges replace missing teeth. They consist of an artificial tooth anchored to the natural teeth on each side of the gap. Crowns and bridges are usually made of porcelain because it is strong and can be made by a skilled technician to match the colour of the natural teeth. Top of Page
