COSMETIC DENTISTRY involves restoring teeth to their natural shape and colour, using
veneers or crowns, or tooth whitening procedures (bleaching).


VENEERS
Applying porcelain veneers is a very effective way to alter the cosmetic appearance of teeth.Veneers can help improve the shape and spacing of teeth, as well as restore the colour. In some cases we use veneers as an alternative to orthodontic treatment - a big advantage being the entire treatment usually only takes a couple of visits.

On the first visit we remove a thin layer of the outer tooth and take an impression to send to our laboratory. The laboratory makes up the veneer to the exact specifications, and on the return visit we bond it to the tooth.

Porcelain veneers can make a dramatic difference to your smile and are one of our most popular cosmetic dental treatments.


ZOOM! TEETH WHITENING
The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System is a scientifically advanced tooth whitening procedure. Its safe, effective and fast, very fast. In just over an hour your teeth will become dramatically whiter. Zoom! Chairside Whitening system is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience of Zoom! In comparison to days of wearing trays or strips, makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

The Zoom! In-office Whitening System will make your teeth dramatically whiter in a little over an hour. The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. The Zoom! Clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom! Whitening gel, which was designed to be used with a specially designed light. The zoom light and gel work to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discolouration. With proper care your smile will sparkle for years.

The Zoom! take-home gel is designed to be worn between four and eight hours per application. Your dental professional will advise you on how long you should wear each application. Most people prefer to wear it over night while they sleep, but you can also wear it during the day if that works better for you. A recent study showed that you can achieve an average improvement of six shades* after just three applications. However, individual results may vary. Your dental professional will help you determine how many applications are right for you.

* Individual results may vary. Take-home results based on overnight wear.


PORCELAIN CROWNS
Sometimes it's not possible to bond veneers to your teeth - usually because there's not enough tooth structure left. In these cases we use pure porcelain crowns instead, which can be fully bonded to the tooth.
