A beautiful smile is one of the most important features a person can have. It can make you look younger, more attractive, and friendlier. And thanks to advances in cosmetic dentistry, it’s now easier than ever to achieve a gorgeous smile. If you’re unhappy with your smile, don’t hesitate to consult with a dental clinic in Hamilton. They can help you choose the right treatments to improve your appearance and make you look and feel great!
Dental Implants
If you want to increase your jawbone density or replace missing teeth, dental implants are the best option for you. Not only do they look completely natural, but they also function just like real teeth. If you’ve had missing teeth for years, dental implants maybe your best option to restore your beautiful smile. Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to support natural-looking artificial teeth. Implants look, feel, and function like real teeth.
In the procedure, a titanium screw is placed inside your jawbone and then attached to an artificial tooth or crown. For safety purposes, most implants require 3-6 months of healing time before they can be fitted with a permanent replacement tooth/teeth.
Stained Teeth- Whitening Tray
Over time, coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining elements can cause your teeth to become discoloured. Luckily you can reverse the effects of discoloration using special whitening trays that are created by your dentist. This method is quick and easy but very effective! The first step for your dentist at the Queen King Dental will custom-design a bleaching tray that fits over your teeth exactly. Then they’ll apply a gel to the surface of the trays which contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide (which breaks down into hydrogen peroxide). Next, you’ll need to wear the trays during some time each day over the course of one to two weeks depending on how badly stained your teeth are.
Unsightly Spaces- Veneers
Having large spaces between your teeth can make you look older and less attractive. Dental veneers act as “custom-made caps” that are placed over the surface of your tooth to close any gaps you may have. The process is relatively quick and easy but very effective. For best results, make sure to visit the dental clinic and avoid smoking and eating foods that stain your teeth (such as dark chocolate, coffee, tea, etc.) for at least two hours before or after bleaching.
Crowns
Large gaps between the teeth can be a real turnoff! If you have a missing tooth due to a cracked or decayed tooth it can lead to other problems such as shifting teeth and gum disease which is why dentists recommend dental crowns as an effective way of preventing further damage from occurring. Dental crowns protect the sensitive areas around where the tooth is missing so it reduces the risk of cavities forming in those areas. They’re custom-made out of porcelain and metal so it’s incredibly durable.
Tartar Buildup – Scaling and Root Planing
Cleaning tartar buildup is an essential part of dental care because it protects your gums from infection. Your dentist will use a special tool known as a scaler to remove any buildup around the surface of the tooth which also helps to smooth out the tooth’s surface, making it look even whiter. This treatment should be performed at least once every six months and is usually relatively quick and painless.
Chipped Teeth – Bonding
If you’ve ever had a chipped tooth, you know just how unsightly and embarrassing it can be! The Queen King Dental can easily correct this problem by using a special composite resin that is applied directly to the tooth after they remove any surface stains. This treatment will take one appointment to complete and since the material is made of tooth-like color it blends in perfectly with the rest of your teeth so there’s no need for additional touch-ups down the road.
