What does it take to get the smile of your dreams? For those who want a beautiful, sparkling smile the best course of action is to see a dentist at College Dental Surgeries.

Here is a breakdown of some of the most common cosmetic dental procedures and why you might want to consider them to help improve your smile.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular options for people who want a quick and simple way to change their smile. It is great for people who do not need anything more than a little bit of brightening, or for people who do not want to make a huge commitment. Plus, it is one of the more affordable options.

Crowns

Also referred to as “caps,” crowns help to preserve the functionality of damaged teeth. In this sense crowns straddle the line between restorative and cosmetic. Crown materials can be gold, porcelain fused to metal, or all-ceramic porcelain; the last of which offers the highest degree of aesthetic value.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers have been the gold standard in cosmetic dental procedures for decades. Veneers are made from a thin layer of porcelain which is bonded on the prepared front surface of a tooth. Veneers are extremely effective in helping you improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth

Veneers are ideal for people who have dark staining which does not go away with bleaching, as well as chipped or fractured front teeth.Veneers are a long lasting and very cost effective way of improving your smile, leaving you with natural and healthy looking teeth.

Teeth Straightening

There are several teeth straightening options available to straighten your teeth, ranging from conventional braces (with wires and brackets) to clear orthodontic aligners, such as Clear Aligners. Teeth straightening is well-accepted among adults now and as a conservative option for straighter, healthier teeth. Treatment times are individual and depend on how far the teeth have to move for a great-looking smile.

Dental implants

A dental implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Like the tooth root it replaces, it is then used for support, albeit for false teeth, rather than natural ones. If you take good care of them, and the bone they are placed in is healthy and strong, you can expect them to last for a long time.

Whether you want a brighter, whiter smile, or want to completely re-do your entire look with veneers and teeth straightening– the dentist at College Dental Surgeries can help you achieve your goals.
