By concept, cosmetic dentistry refers to a number of dental procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of one’s teeth and overall smile.

Cosmetic dental procedures include the following:

• Teeth Whitening: Ideal for teeth that have been discoloured. We will lighten the colour of your teeth to a pre-determined shade using teeth whitening. The degree of staining on your teeth will determine how successful the whitening is.
• Composite (tooth-colored) Fillings: We prefer this form of filling over silver amalgam fillings at Dentistry by Design because it looks more natural in the mouth.
• Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are shell-like coverings for the fronts of your teeth. They are slim and custom-made, and they can turn a less-than-perfect smile into a stunning one. For many celebrities, this is the technique of choice for achieving the perfect camera-ready smile.
• Porcelain Crowns (caps):A porcelain crown, unlike veneers, encases the entire tooth in a custom-made artificial tooth that helps to strengthen the underlying tooth.
• Dental Implants: The next best thing to your natural teeth. Dental implants are a solid, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are also used to help temporary dental instruments including bridges and dentures stay in place.
• Orthodontics: When most people think of orthodontics, they think of braces and retainers, which are mainly used to straighten teeth. Many general dentists now give their patients a straightening solution that does not include braces, but rather custom-made, transparent inserts that are worn every day for a period of time to fix spacing issues.
