What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry focusing on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and smile. Unlike traditional dentistry, which mainly focuses on treating oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease, cosmetic dentistry is mostly elective and aims to improve the overall look of a person’s smile.

While the primary goal of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the appearance of teeth, it can also have a significant impact on a person’s self-esteem and confidence.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Improved Appearance: The most obvious benefit of cosmetic dentistry is it improves the appearance of teeth. Patients with discoloured, crooked, or missing teeth can benefit from various cosmetic dental procedures to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Boosts Confidence: A great smile can go a long way in boosting a person's confidence. Cosmetic dentistry can help patients feel more comfortable and confident in social and professional situations.
Restores Oral Health: Cosmetic dentistry not only enhances the appearance of teeth but can also improve oral health. Procedures like dental implants and orthodontic treatments can restore missing or misaligned teeth, improving the bite and overall oral health.
Long-lasting Results: Many cosmetic dental procedures provide long-lasting results, making them a worthwhile investment. With proper care and maintenance, veneers, dental implants, and orthodontic treatments can last for several years, providing patients with a beautiful and healthy smile for an extended period.
Customized Treatment: Every patient's smile is unique, and cosmetic dentistry offers customized treatment plans tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each patient. With a variety of treatment options available, patients can choose the procedures that work best for them to achieve their desired results.

Cosmetic Dentistry is Art & Science

Cosmetic dentistry is both an art and a science. By providing cosmetic dental care, Dr. Alsabbagh can offer smile enhancement, restoration, and maintenance treatments for optimal dental health. From teeth whitening and porcelain veneers to dental implants and orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry offers a variety of options to improve the appearance and function of your teeth.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a conservative and cost-effective cosmetic dental treatment that can improve the appearance of slightly chipped, discoloured, or crooked teeth. Dr. Alsabbagh uses a white filling to bond with the tooth, matching the appearance of natural teeth.

Bonding can also be used as an alternative to silver amalgam fillings, providing patients a more aesthetically pleasing option. Bonded fillings can be used on front or back teeth, depending on the location and extent of tooth decay. However, bonding may stain and is more susceptible to breaking than other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers, but it can be easily repaired in one visit.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are a great option for those who want to correct minor imperfections in their teeth, such as gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. These custom-made, tooth-coloured shells are thin and cover the front of your teeth, providing a natural-looking appearance that can help improve your smile.

To prepare for veneers, your London, ON dentist will create a mold of your teeth and send it to a dental technician who will craft them. Your tooth may need some conservative preparation to achieve the desired aesthetic result before placing your new veneer. Once your veneers are placed, they will look like your natural teeth. While stain-resistant, avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco is still recommended to maintain their beauty.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. This treatment is designed to remove stains and discolouration from your teeth caused by aging, smoking, or consuming certain foods and beverages. Our experienced dentists use advanced whitening techniques and materials to achieve a brighter, more radiant smile in just one visit. With professional teeth whitening, you can enjoy a confidence boost and a more youthful appearance.

Here are some of the most popular teeth whitening procedures:

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening is performed in a dental office. During an appointment, your dental professional will apply a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The entire office visit generally takes about 90 minutes, and you’ll be able to see results immediately.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

At-home teeth whitening is a convenient and affordable way to brighten your smile. With custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel, you can achieve noticeable results in the comfort of your own home.

Tray Whitening: Tray bleaching is a type of professional whitening that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel only available through your dentist. The whitening gel is placed in custom-fitted trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. At-home professional tray whitening generally takes 10 to 14 days, although you may notice results in as little as three to five days.
Paint-On Teeth Whiteners: These over-the-counter whitening products are commonly referred to as "paint-on" teeth whiteners. They consist of a gel applied to the tooth using a small brush. Paint-on whitening gel hardens into a film that coats the teeth and dissolves in the mouth. As with any teeth-whitening regimen, it’s wise to consult with a dental professional before use.
Teeth-Whitening Strips: These thin, flexible plastic strips come with a thin film of hydrogen peroxide on one side. Whitening strip kits come with two types of strips: strips for the upper teeth and strips for the lower teeth. The whitening agent is applied by placing the strips across your teeth and gently pressing the strips to ensure contact with all your teeth. Teeth-whitening strips are typically worn for 30 minutes a day, twice a day. The duration of treatment will vary.
Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash: These are the least expensive options that work to remove surface stains using mild abrasives. While they can affect surface stains and mildly lighten your teeth, they do not lighten the actual colour shade of the tooth.
