Your smile is the first impression that others have of you, so it makes sense that you would want it to be bright, white and healthy. Did you know, more than 95% of all Canadian adults believe that a smile is an important asset for social situations? Perhaps that is why so many patients are electing cosmetic dental procedures to improve their smiles and boost self-confidence.

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are dental restorations designed to be inconspicuous and natural in appearance. They blend well with the teeth and appear more natural than amalgam fillings, which are darker and more visible.

Composite fillings can be used to fill in decayed areas of the teeth, as well as to help repair chipped or broken teeth.

Is your smile missing something? Like a tooth? Restorative procedures involve the process of restoring missing, damaged and diseased teeth back to normal form and function. Usually structural loss is a result of external trauma, tooth decay or cavities. Dental restoration also refers to replacing missing tooth structures that can be eventually supported by dental implants

direct and indirect. Direct restoration includes placing a soft or a malleable filling into a prepared tooth and it will build up the tooth before the material sets. A common advantage is you can have this done with only a single appointment. The most common procedure includes fillings. Indirect restoration occurs when the team formulates the restoration outside of the mouth using a dental impression of the prepared tooth. The most common indirect restorations consist of inlays and onlays, crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers and implants.

When the tooth is ready to be restored back to a suitable form and function it requires two steps: first they must prepare the tooth for the placement of the restoration material or materials, and secondly the placement of the material and materials. The dentist will use special tools to make enough space for the restorative materials; likewise they will remove any dental decay and any part of the tooth that is physically unsound. Temporary restoration may be performed if permanent restorations cannot be carried out.

Dental veneers – also known as laminates – are used to cosmetically enhance the appearance of one or more teeth.

Veneers are very thin, porcelain or resin shells that are customized for a desirable color and shape. They are bonded to the surface of the teeth to reshape broken, misshapen or irregular teeth, as well as provide a solution for discolored teeth that do not respond to traditional whitening treatments. Patients with veneers typically achieve a natural tooth appearance that is well-tolerated by the gums and also resistant to future stains.

Bonding is a composite resin filling placed on your teeth. Composites are the materials used for restoring decayed teeth, making cosmetic improvements and even changing the color and reshaping of teeth. Bonding is a versatile treatment and can be used to:

• Size and shape of teeth
• Amount of gum tissue displayed
• Length of upper lip
• Position of the upper jaw in relationship to the skull

Bonding will cover any natural flaws by first applying a thin coating on the front surface of your teeth to which the bonding material is applied. Bonding can be sculpted, colored and shaped to provide the look and feel that you desire.

Next time you’re in the office ask your dentist or a member of our dental team if bonding can improve your smile.Give customers a reason to do business with you.
