Nothing can crush your self-confidence like having misaligned, discoloured, chipped, broken, or even missing teeth. Your smile is front and centre of everything you do and every interaction you have. So for those who have any problems with their teeth, shying away or avoiding interactions can be a common occurrence to help prevent others from noticing their smile. But at Carlingwood Dental, we believe that this should never be something that holds you back from excelling in life. Thankfully, our cosmetic dentistry services in Ottawa can correct any problems you have and allow you to gain back control of your life again.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
At Carlingwood Dental, we provide diligent care for every patient that enters our clinic. Whether you have a broken tooth, severe discolouration, missing teeth or any other dental imperfections, we have a service that can help! Here’s a brief breakdown of the type of treatments we offer:
Veneers
If your teeth have been chipped, cracked, or severely stained, veneers may be the best restorative treatment for you. Veneers can cap the tooth to conceal any flaws on the surface. There are different materials that can be used for this, including porcelain, which is most common thanks its strong, durable, natural-looking qualities.
Bonding
If veneers sound too severe for your minor chip or crack, then cosmetic bonding could be a more favourable option. Bonding material can be sculpted to your impacted area to hide any minor imperfections.
Crowns And Bridges
Crowns and bridges are also common treatments that can enhance your smile. A crown is moulded to fit over top of your teeth to protect it from decay and to improve the appearance. If you have a missing tooth, a bridge can replace it with an artificial tooth that can fill in the gap while being supported by crowns from your existing teeth.
Teeth Whitening
There are many food and drinks that can contribute to the discolouration of teeth. Sometimes, if the stains are superficial, they can be removed with store-bought treatments. However, when stains have permeated deep within the enamel, it can require professional whitening treatments offered by your dentist. With our advanced LED light system, together with customized whitening kits, we can help you achieve amazing results for your smile.
The Importance Of Proper Oral Hygiene
Although cosmetic treatments can help restore your smile, your teeth and gums will always require proper oral care in order to maintain them. Without good dental hygiene, plaque and bacteria can wreak havoc in your mouth, causing severe tooth decay, infection and serious health implications as well.
Brushing and flossing every day and visiting your dentist at least twice per year for regular check-ups and cleanings, are essential for keeping your teeth and oral health in good shape.
