Cosmetic Dentistry

If you want to improve the appearance of your smile, we would love to provide you with cosmetic dentistry procedures based on your requirements.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry refers to any type of dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums, and bites. The main focus of dentistry is enhancing the beauty of teeth, such as the color, shape, size, position, alignment, and appearance of the entire smile. 

Procedures Involved in Cosmetic Dentistry

We offer the following Cosmetic Dentistry procedure to our patients:

• Composite Bonding

We provide composite bonding to repair the decayed, damaged, or discolored using material that imitates the color of the tooth enamel. Our professional dentist removes the tooth decay and then applies composite resin to the tooth's surface. We even sculpt the teeth into an appropriate shape, if required, before hardening them with a higher-intensity light. 

• Dental Veneers

The next cosmetic dentistry we provide is Dental Veneers made from medical-grade ceramic and custom-made for every patient. We offer veneers to cure multiple cosmetic problems like crooked teeth, damaged or cracked enamel, and gaps between the teeth. We place veneers on the front of the tooth using dental adhesives.

• Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening is one of cosmetic dentistry's most popular and straightforward treatments. We usually recommend this treatment when your teeth are severely stained due to some foods and drinks, medication, and personal habits like tobacco use. We provide you with professional teeth whitening in our dental clinic or offer you an at-home teeth whitening kit to treat your stained teeth at the convenience of your home.

• Dental Implants

We offer dental implants to replace the missing teeth caused due to accidents, extraction, or other dental issues. In this procedure, we place a small titanium screw into your jaw to support the dental crown. It provides a natural appearance to your mouth and even improves the smile's appearance.

So, get your smile and your quality of life improved with our Cosmetic Dentistry services. Feel free to consult our dentist and schedule an appointment for your respective concerns. 

I Want A More Beautiful Smile

Cosmetic dentistry provides various solutions to enhance the appearance of your smile, addressing issues ranging from discoloration and misalignment to damage and gum concerns. By consulting with a qualified cosmetic dentist, you can explore treatment options tailored to your needs and achieve the beautiful smile you desire.

Reasons for Needing Cosmetic Dentistry

• Tooth Discoloration: Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to aging, consumption of certain foods and drinks, smoking, or poor dental hygiene. Cosmetic dentistry offers treatments to whiten and brighten the smile.
• Chips and Cracks: Teeth can chip or crack due to injury, biting hard foods, or grinding. Cosmetic procedures like dental bonding or veneers can restore the appearance and function of damaged teeth.
• Misalignment: Crooked or misaligned teeth can affect aesthetics and bite function. Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, can help achieve a straighter smile.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces or gaps between teeth can be unflattering and may cause issues with oral hygiene. Cosmetic dentistry provides bonding, veneers, or implants to close these gaps.
• Misshapen Teeth: Some individuals may have teeth that are irregularly shaped, too small, or too large. Cosmetic procedures can enhance the shape and size of teeth for a more balanced appearance.
• Gum Issues: Excessive gum tissue can lead to a "gummy" smile while receding gums can expose tooth roots. Cosmetic procedures, including gum contouring and grafting, can improve the smile's overall aesthetic.
