For those in the Burlington, ON area looking to improve the aesthetic of their smile, the field of cosmetic dentistry offers several procedures that may correct any number of issues. Dr. Swati Khanna and her team at Dentistry at La Salle offer cosmetic dentistry focused on improving aesthetic appearances that will enhance a patientβs smile and oral functionality, including speaking and chewing.
Dr. Khanna provides several cosmetic dentistry services meant to improve upon a patientβs smile, leaving them with improved confidence and happiness. An initial consultation will provide patients with the opportunity to discuss any cosmetic concerns so that an appropriate procedure can be recommended.
The field of cosmetic dentistry is ever-evolving as new procedures and techniques are developed to best serve all patients in need, but here are some of the most common cosmetic procedures currently being offered:
Teeth whitening, also called teeth bleaching, is an incredibly simple and cost-effective method for brightening oneβs smile. Whitening can be accomplished through an in-office visit or with a take-home solution.
If you have chipped, cracked or misshapen teeth, dental veneers are a great option. Traditionally crafted from porcelain, a dental veneer is a thin coating that is placed over a tooth that needs visual correction. These are also great for discolored teeth or to hide gaps between teeth.
An effective solution for filling the gap where a tooth is missing, dental bridges perform a cosmetic, but also an oral health function. If gaps in your smile are left unfilled, this can cause issues down the road, including bone degeneration in the jaw. A dental bridge can fill any gap and is supported by adjacent teeth on either side of the gap.
Also considered an orthodontic treatment, the Invisalign treatment system can correct misaligned teeth or issues with a patientβs bite through take-home, custom-fit mouth trays, which are custom-fit for comfort.
Considered to be the most stable option to replace a missing tooth, a dental implant is great for any patient who doesnβt want the hassle of a removable dental apparatus such as a bridge or denture.
