With January just a few days away, many people use this time to reflect on the year past and to decide what they wish to achieve in the future. Increasingly, top of the wish list for some is a brand-new smile in Oshawa.
Reasons for a Smile Makeover
A confident smile brings numerous benefits and is about much more than beautiful white teeth. When you know your teeth look good, it is much easier to smile, talk and laugh. It can lead to psychological benefits, helping release feel-good hormones, including endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options
Modern cosmetic dentistry in Whitby can achieve beautiful results, and at Margolian Dentistry, we can tailor your treatment plan to meet or hopefully exceed your aims and desires. Various treatments are available, including porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges, dental implants and Invisalign, an adult-oriented teeth straightening system.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can transform a smile. They are thin shells of porcelain custom-made to cover the front surface of teeth, hiding minor imperfections or stains.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments that can also help improve appearance. Crowns cover teeth entirely, restoring teeth that are damaged or decayed where an ordinary filling isn’t strong enough. They are also used to restore teeth after root canal therapy in Ajax. Bridges restore teeth that are missing entirely, using crowns fitted over adjacent teeth to support the pontic, which is the replacement tooth between them. We can create beautiful crowns and bridges using advanced porcelains that look just like real teeth or, often, even better.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can be a wonderful way to replace missing teeth using advanced techniques. The implants are self-supporting, providing useful oral health benefits while helping restore a smile. We use computer-guided surgery when planning and placing implants for the best results, a technique that ensures oral surgery is quicker, smoother and more comfortable for our patients.
Invisalign
If you have teeth that are overlapping or crooked, or have unsightly spaces between them, or that don’t bite together properly, Invisalign might be a solution. It uses clear plastic aligners to move teeth gently yet firmly into the proper positions, creating a more aesthetically pleasing smile. At the same time, straighter teeth are easier to keep clean, and the potential oral health benefits are well worth considering.
Other quicker options include teeth whitening, dental bonding, or even just booking a hygienist appointment to freshen your smile.
Creating Your Dream Smile
When you visit our dental office, we can assess your oral health, listen to your aims and desires and devise a custom treatment plan. Our primary aim is to ensure you enjoy strong and healthy teeth, so if you have any signs of oral disease like tooth decay and gum disease, we will want to treat these first. Treating these conditions helps ensure the outcome of cosmetic dentistry lasts longer.
We also use digital smile design when creating custom smiles, taking photographs and 3-D digital dental impressions of your mouth to create digital images of how we protect your smile will look once treatment is complete. It’s an interesting process that allows you to view the digital images and become involved with treatment planning. Once you are happy with the plan, we work closely with our experienced lab technicians to create your new smile. When treatment is complete, you should have teeth that look and feel fabulous and are fully functional.
