Cosmetic Dentistry – is this an option for you?

Are you concerned or embarrassed about the appearance of your teeth? Do you hide in the background when someone says it’s photo time! 

Have you ever wondered what can be done to improve your smile but are unsure what is available and what your options might be? 

If you answered YES to any of the questions above, Tooth Fairy Dental can help. 

At Tooth Fairy Dental we offer a wide range of cosmetic services such as whitening, veneers and crowns to name a few or a combination of all three for some of our patients. These dental procedures can greatly improve the original appearance of your teeth and transform your smile into something you would be proud to show off!   

Whitening options

Alongside your regular dental exams and hygiene cleaning appointments, we can offer two different whitening procedures to enhance your teeth; either our Boost in-surgery whitening appointments or our Opalescence whitening “take home “ kits. 

For various reasons your teeth will discolour over your lifetime, from general staining build up or from other diet related factors like coffee or red wine. We achieve great results from both whitening options, however the results do vary between individuals. 

Whitening is a popular treatment procedure especially if you have a big event coming up like a wedding or a significant birthday and you will be wanting  to be front and center for those photos.

Chat to our dentists or hygienists next time you are at the clinic to see if whitening your teeth is an alternative cosmetic choice for you.

Veneers

Another popular option for changing the look of your teeth and smile is by having veneers placed.  Veneers are tailor-made for each tooth, they are shaped to cover the front surface of the tooth and are made out of either porcelain or composite material which is a tooth coloured resin. 

Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory by a dental technician in conjunction with the dentist. Porcelain veneers are the strongest and most beautiful veneer option.

Composite veneers are a cost-effective alternative, they are created out of composite resin by the dentist. The resin is the same dental material used when a dentist is placing white/tooth coloured fillings, this creates a natural looking tooth as an end result. 

Veneers are a good replacement if you are wanting to cover up discoloured teeth, don’t like the shape or length of your original teeth or are wanting to close up a gap without orthodontic treatment. 

If you would like to know more about veneers, please call our team on 575 6278 or book online via our website booking portal and arrange a veneer consultation for an assessment with one of our dentists.
