Residents of the Mississauga area can expect a variety of services from a cosmetic dentist. Examples include teeth whitening and veneers. The dentist also offers Botox injections.
What Is A Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a collection of procedures chosen to improve the patient’s smile. These procedures can correct problems like missing teeth, discolored teeth, gaps between teeth, worn teeth, or damaged teeth. During the initial consultation, the dentist will recommend the procedures most likely to help the patient.
A smile makeover can include dental implants, teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, or dental bonding.
What Does Teeth Whitening Involve?
The patient can choose either a take-home kit or an in-office treatment. The latter takes under an hour.
If the patient chooses the take-home kit, they will be given a bleaching gel that contains carbamide peroxide. They would place the gel in custom-made trays that they wear over their teeth for a set time. While the patient will see results after the first treatment, they should continue using the gel for at least ten days to get the full benefits.
What Is A Veneer?
A veneer is a thin shell made of porcelain that is bonded to the front of a tooth. Veneers are used on front teeth to correct problems like gaps, discolorations, or chipped teeth.
The dentist will shave down a few millimeters of the tooth to make room for the veneer. They will then take an impression to send to the dental lab to have the veneer custom-made. When the dentist is satisfied that the veneer will fit properly, they will cement it to the tooth.
