Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry

Today's modern cosmetic dentistry is putting beautiful, healthy-looking smiles within reach for more patients of all ages, with more effective treatments that are often surprisingly affordable. Talk with us to learn more about your options for a range of cosmetic concerns: replace missing teeth, whiten and even tone, change size, shape and alignment, fill gaps, replace old treatments with pleasing new alternatives. A healthy dazzling smile can make you look younger and lift your level of self confidence to new-found heights. For a younger look, cosmetic dentistry is like a dental facelift that can reverse the natural aging process of your teeth. Modern cosmetic dentistry has the materials and the procedures to restore virtually any smile to health, youthfulness and symmetry. Cosmetic dental treatment options include porcelain crowns, veneers, bonding, ceramic inlays, onlays, dental implants and teeth whitening. Smile Makeovers: Many of our favourite actors, models and media personalities have had their smiles enhanced. Most often they have whitening followed by Porcelain Veneers — giving brighter, whiter, naturally-shaped teeth and a more radiant smile. Veneers can solve serious dental problems like permanently whitening stained teeth, filling gaps and correcting broken or crooked teeth. Achieving a wonderful smile is more than ordinary dentistry — it is about excellence achieved only through experience and training. We aim for exceptional and long-term results.

Botox®

Botox®

Botox® is a safe, well proven procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The Botox® procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Botox® has proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance. Reasons for Considering Botox: Excessive facial wrinkles. Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead. Small wrinkles or "crow's feet" around your eyes. A vertical "frown line" between your eyebrows. General Botox® Procedure: The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles. Typically a small amount (1–2 cc's) of Botox® is injected into the area of the wrinkle, blocking impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles and relaxing them. The effects last approximately three to six months. Botox® Recovery: Patients generally return to normal activities immediately. Avoid heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 4 hours after injections.

Invisalign

Invisalign

Invisalign is a way to straighten your teeth without braces by using a series of clear, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. Invisalign straightens your teeth without metal wires or brackets — each successive tray moves your teeth closer to that beautiful smile. Why Invisalign? Not only will your teeth be straighter, the incidence of gum disease will decrease and it will be easier to brush and floss. Teeth and gums that are easy to clean result in a healthier mouth and less plaque accumulation. How It Works: After discussing your goals, Dr. Ravi will create a custom treatment plan and order your aligners. Each set is worn for a minimum of 20–22 hours a day for approximately 2 weeks, removed only while eating, drinking or brushing. Every 6–7 weeks you will visit Dr. Ravi for a check-up and new aligner. Typical cases usually take one year to complete.

Implants

Implants

A dental implant is typically a small screw-shaped attachment usually made from titanium. It is inserted within the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth root. Once Osseo integration (when the bone attaches firmly to the implant) has occurred, a replacement tooth can be secured to the top of the implant. This new tooth can look, feel and perform just like a natural tooth. It is also possible to use multiple implants to support a denture or bridge. Benefits of Implants: Implant-secured replacement teeth are more comfortable than conventional dentures because there is no slipping movement — eliminating key worries and improving self confidence. Dental implants are the alternative to bridgework for permanently replacing missing teeth, eliminating the need to grind down healthy teeth. When teeth are missing the surrounding bone begins to shrink — dental implants help maintain the shape and structure of the jaw bone.

Tooth Jewellery

Tooth Jewellery

Dentists of today are finding that more people who consult them desire perfectly aligned sparkling white teeth, and may even ask for tooth jewellery. These cosmetic procedures must be accomplished by professionals with professional products. Vivadent has developed the Skyce® system of tooth jewellery, which enables dentists to satisfy this cosmetic demand according to dental requirements. Stunning Jewellery; Healthy Teeth: Patients want a sparkling smile — dentists want teeth to be healthy. We are committed to maintaining the health of teeth at all costs. Vivadent has developed Skyce® so that dentists can carry out the procedure responsibly using tried-and-tested products. The dental jewellery does not need to be pre-treated and is bonded onto the tooth in the same way as an orthodontic bracket. Application: First, a retentive pattern is produced on the enamel using 37% phosphoric acid. Then, Skyce is bonded to the tooth with the transparent, flowable Heliobond, which penetrates into the retention niches on the back of Skyce and into the etch pattern on the tooth.

Tooth Whitening

Tooth Whitening

There are two ways patients can choose to bleach their teeth: home or office bleaching. Home bleaching involves the fabrication of plastic mouthpieces that look like protective sport mouth guards. The patient wears these mouthpieces with a hydrogen peroxide based bleach for two to four hours a day for four to eight days. Office bleaching is much simpler for patients though a little more expensive. Patients typically come in for one thirty to forty-five minute appointment. There are no shots or drilling — patients commonly relax watching TV and listening to music during the procedure. Color changes are readily apparent after the first visit. We've been doing this procedure for several years and have found it to be both safe and effective. Important Note: Only natural tooth structure responds to bleaching — fillings and porcelain will NOT bleach. Post-Bleaching Instructions: It is common for teeth to be sensitive for a few days. Use a Fluoride mouthwash several times a day for the week following bleaching. Avoid tobacco, coffee, tea and dark colored sodas and staining foods.

Preventive

Preventive

Dental Examination: The dentist will check your teeth for cavities and gum disease and evaluate your risk of developing other oral health problems. Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy — helping to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. Regular check-ups and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile for life.

Digital Xray

Digital Xray

Digital X-rays are one of the newest advances in dentistry. They can reduce radiation exposure levels by 85% and are quick and comfortable for patients. Digital X-rays provide clearer images that can be enhanced to help dentists make a more accurate diagnosis, improving the quality of care you receive at every visit.

Cleaning

Cleaning

Teeth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. People routinely clean their own teeth by brushing and interdental cleaning, and dental hygienists can remove hardened deposits (tartar) not removed by routine cleaning. Regular professional cleanings are essential to maintaining optimal oral health.

Restorative / Prosthodontic

Restorative / Prosthodontic

White Composite Fillings: A Composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth. White fillings are used as an alternative to amalgam (silver) fillings, which are aesthetically poor and contain mercury.

Crown

Crown

A crown is designed to replace the original tooth's size, shape, and function. Crowns are cemented onto existing teeth or implants. A crown may be used when: a tooth has large cavities and poor tooth structure and is severely damaged; root canal treatment was completed; or an implant has been placed. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth for a seamless, natural appearance.

Bridge

Bridge

A bridge consists of multiple crowns fused together to replace one or more missing teeth. Teeth on either side of the missing space serve as two anchors for the bridge — the anchor teeth are shaped by the dentist to accommodate the bridge, and the bridge is cemented to the anchor teeth. Bridges restore your smile, ability to chew and speak properly, and maintain the shape of your face.

Full Complete Dentures / Flexible Partial Dentures

Full Complete Dentures / Flexible Partial Dentures

Dentures are artificial replacements for your natural teeth and gums. Complete dentures — commonly referred to as "false teeth" — are used when all your natural teeth are missing and are held in place by suction. Flexible partial dentures replace one or more teeth. Unlike traditional rigid, bulky acrylic dentures, flexible partial dentures are made from a flexible plastic material which is thin, fits neatly into your mouth, is virtually invisible, and does not require any unsightly metal clasps to keep them in place.

Space Maintainers

Space Maintainers

A space maintainer is an appliance that is custom-made in acrylic or metal material. It can be either removable or cemented in a child's mouth. Its purpose is to keep the space open to allow the permanent tooth to erupt and come into place. Space maintainers are commonly used when a baby tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or injury.

Metal Braces / Tooth Color Braces

Metal Braces / Tooth Color Braces

Braces are the most common method of straightening crooked or crowded teeth and closing gaps. They are often used to correct underbites, malocclusions, overbites, open bites, deep bites, cross bites, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws. Tooth-colored braces offer the same effectiveness as metal braces with a more aesthetic appearance.

Retainers

Retainers

Orthodontic retainers are custom-made devices, usually made of wires or clear plastic, that hold teeth in position after orthodontic treatment to prevent risk of relapse — the tendency for teeth to return to their original position prior to braces — caused by periodontal fibres, occlusion, pressure from soft tissue and continued growth. Retainers can be removable or fixed.

Root Canal

Root Canal

Root Canal Therapy: A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form. Root canal therapy can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Oral Surgical

Oral Surgical

Simple and Surgical Extractions: A dental extraction — or informally, tooth pulling — is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone. The most common reasons for extractions are unrestorable teeth, decay, periodontal disease, trauma, or to create space for orthodontics. Our team ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure with appropriate anaesthesia and aftercare guidance.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth normally erupt between ages 17 to 25 years. Most adults have 4 wisdom teeth — one on each side — but some have fewer. Sometimes wisdom teeth are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and may cause recurrent infections of the gum (pericoronitis) and will need extraction. Early assessment and timely treatment are recommended to avoid more complex problems.

Laser Crown Lengthening

Laser Crown Lengthening

Sometimes people have small clinical crowns (teeth) and gum covering the teeth, commonly known as a "Gummy Smile". For aesthetic reasons, crown lengthening is done using lasers. The advantages of laser crown lengthening are less bleeding, less treatment time, less pain and a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods.

Fillers

Fillers

Injectable Fillers or soft tissue fillers give you a youthful look by filling hollows, lines and wrinkles. The effect lasts from 6 months to 2 years. Fillers can also be used to volumize the cheeks, chin and jawline, and to fill thin lips. The procedure is minimally invasive and results are immediately visible, helping you look refreshed and rejuvenated.

Veneers

Veneers

A veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. Veneers improve the aesthetics of a smile and/or protect the tooth's surface from damage. A laminate veneer is a thin layer that covers only the surface of the tooth and is generally used for aesthetic purposes for a smile makeover — the "Hollywood Smile". Veneers can permanently whiten stained teeth, fill gaps between teeth and correct broken or crooked teeth.
