A great smile can be the most attractive feature of your face. A smile helps you express health, success, youth and sincerity. It is a great asset in your personal, business and social contacts. So it’s important that you are happy with how your smile looks. But if you are like many people, you may not be. Your cosmetic dentist in Blacktown has many different techniques to shape, sculpt, and make your smile more beautiful. With a few simple steps, you can have a smile you feel great about. And treatment may be more affordable than you think. Some of the cosmetic dental procedures include

• Dental Bonding
• Porcelain Veneers
• Teeth Whitening

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an effective treatment for discoloured, chipped or cracked teeth. Dental bonding has also been used for minimising gaps between teeth as well as reshaping misaligned teeth. This form of cosmetic dentistry is arguably the least invasive after teeth whitening. Dental bonding requires little to no removal of your enamel and is easily removed if you so wish. Dental bonding is made up of a composite resin material which is applied to your tooth in stages. At each stage, the composite resin is hardened with ultraviolet light. Once the desired outcome is reached, the restorative is polished to look and feel like your natural tooth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are an effective solution for teeth which have minor chips, cracks or are stained. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain which are bonded to the front of your teeth. Typically speaking, porcelain veneers are only placed on the front six upper and lower teeth. The advantage of porcelain veneers is they are stain-resistant and can be colour-matched to your natural teeth. For patients who aren’t happy with the colour of their teeth, the dentist Blacktown would recommend having a teeth whitening treatment because porcelain veneers cannot be altered by tooth whitening treatments.

Teeth Whitening

Most cosmetic dentist in Blacktown offers patients a number of teeth whitening treatments from Pola and Opalescence to provide patients with the option of either whitening their teeth at home or in dental office. The difference between having your teeth whitening Blacktown by a professional is that dentists know when a stain is cosmetic and when it is not. For example, a damaged tooth can be blackened, so no amount of tooth whitening is going to whiten the tooth. Depending on the damage to the tooth, your dentist may recommend either porcelain veneer or dental crown procedure.
