The smallest blemish on your teeth can have a significant impact on your confidence, whether it is a chipped tooth, stained teeth, gap, or a crooked smile. There are cosmetic dental treatments that can correct minor problems that you’re self-conscious about, such as chips, gaps, or discoloration. In this article we will look at some of the cosmetic dental options we offer here at Glandwr Dental Practice.
Cosmetic bonding
For minor damage such as chips or gaps between teeth, composite bonding is a discrete solution. In order to restore the shape and appearance of your tooth, composite resin is bonded to it. As the resin colour matches your natural teeth, it blends in seamlessly with your smile.
The advantage of composite bonding is that it is minimally invasive and can usually be performed in one visit. As long as you maintain good oral hygiene, it can last for years and be a cheaper alternative to veneers or crowns.
Teeth whitening
The process of teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth in order to make them whiter. Food and drinks such as tea, coffee, and red wine can cause stains on your teeth as you age.
Teeth whitening can last up to a few years, but it varies from person to person. You can prolong the duration of the treatment by avoiding food and drinks that stain your teeth after treatment and seeing the hygienist regularly. In order to maintain the brightness, most people top-up every six months to a year.
The good news is that our professional whitening treatments can safely and effectively remove stains from your teeth without causing any damage. With a brighter, whiter smile, many of our patients have gained confidence.
Teeth straightening
The goal of cosmetic teeth straightening is to straighten your six to eight front teeth.
Depending on your individual needs, cosmetic straightening can take as little as six months. Fixed cosmetic braces use a tooth-coloured wire and are a discreet alternative to traditional fixed braces. You can either use removable aligners, such as Invisalign, or fixed cosmetic braces. Getting orthodontic treatment requires a consultation with your dentist, where your dentist will determine your suitability and explain your options.
