Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of dental procedures designed to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. At Summeridge Dental, our general dental practitioners in Thornhill offer a range of cosmetic dental services to address various aesthetic concerns.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that focus on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite. While general dentistry addresses oral health and function, cosmetic procedures enhance the visual aspects of your smile. These treatments range from minor colour corrections to more comprehensive restorations.
Available Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a procedure that can lighten the colour of teeth. Over time, teeth may become discoloured due to various factors, including aging, consumption of certain foods and beverages, and smoking. Professional whitening treatments include both in-office procedures and take-home options supervised by your dentist in Thornhill.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They can be used to address various cosmetic concerns, including chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, and minor alignment issues. Veneers are custom-made for each patient and designed to match surrounding teeth.
Composite Dental Bonding
Dental bonding involves applying tooth-coloured composite resin to repair or improve the appearance of teeth. This procedure can address chips, small gaps, and discoloration. Bonding typically requires a single appointment and involves minimal tooth structure removal.
Clear Aligner Therapy
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth. These removable, transparent aligners gradually move teeth into different positions over time. Treatment plans are customized based on individual dental assessments.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are restorations that cover damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth. Modern materials allow these restorations to be colour-matched to existing teeth for a natural appearance.
