Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic dentistry (aka Cosmetic Dentistry) is the integration of three ideals – looking good, good health and a healthy, enduring smile. The bonus is that typically you will be looking younger as well.

There are a variety of aesthetic dentistry/cosmetic dentistry treatments which can improve your smile – from replacing old amalgam (silver) fillings with tooth-coloured bonding material, to dental veneers which restore shape and colour to the teeth, or crowns and implants to replace irreparable loss. The important thing is, you do have simple, cost effective aesthetic dentistry/cosmetic dentistry options.

Veneers for aesthetic dentistry / cosmetic dentistry

Veneers are a great solution for misshapen or broken teeth. Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells made from porcelain or resin, which are carefully crafted to bond to and cover the front of unsightly teeth. While porcelain veneers will have a more lustrous and durable finish, composite resin veneers also create an attractive finish.

Composite resin is not a new material. It has been around since the 1960s, however modern techniques have allowed us to use this material in unique ways. Composite resin is primarily made of a nano-sized (one thousandth of a millimeter) glass-like particle matrix. It is a paste material that once set by a blue light (UV or LED), will harden to the texture and hardness of enamel.

Advantages of resin veneers

Resin veneers are best done on teeth with minor to moderate size or shape defects on teeth. If your teeth have been untouched by any fillings, and you are not sure how much smile improvement (i.e. aesthetic dentistry/cosmetic dentistry) you want, resin dental veneers are best. They are strong, durable and cost effective, and there is always the option of ‘upgrading’ to porcelain later.
