WHITENING

Professional, in-office teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the world today. Unlike home-use systems that incorporate low-dose bleaching agents, in-office whitening takes place under carefully monitored conditions which allow for the safe, controlled, pain-free use of a relatively high concentration of bleaching gel – yielding results that are visible immediately.

Procedure : Professional whitening can be done in a dentist’s office in about an hour. The procedure involves application of a tooth whitening gel containing between 25% to 40% hydrogen peroxide, and then aiming a special heating lamp at your teeth for three 20-minute intervals, with reapplication of the gel between intervals. A protective barrier is used during the whitening procedure to keep your lips, gums, and tongue away from the whitening gel so it stays in place on your teeth

Am I a Candidate for Whitening?

Tooth whitening is safe for most people and the best candidates are those who only have mild to moderate discoloration. But there are certain types of discoloration that cannot be corrected by whitening treatments, and there are certain dental or medical conditions that may reduce the chances tooth whitening will work for you. These include:

  • Porcelain veneers, dental crowns, caps, fillings, or dental bonding on the front teeth. These synthetic materials do not respond well to bleaching products. You may need new crowns or veneers if you want these teeth to appear whiter.

  • Yellow teeth usually bleach well, however brown teeth may not whiten as much. Teeth with grey
    tones, white spots, or discoloration from a “dead” tooth may not bleach at all.

  • Tooth whitening is not effective if tooth discoloration is caused by medications or a tooth injury.

Science Says: The Most Effective Method

Tooth whitening performed by a dentist in-office is the most effective way to get the best and safest results. Stronger agents are used, but the mouth and gums are protected, and the dentist can customize the concentration of the bleaching agent. Further, a dentist can manage any tooth
sensitivity or other issues that may arise from treatment. Teeth may be whitened up to 10 shades in just one hour.

SMILE CORRECTION

A smile makeover describes the dental process of upgrading the overall look and appearance of your smile through cosmetic dentistry treatments. The purpose of undergoing a smile correction is to enhance the appearance of your teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. They are an option for closing gaps, enhance the shape, or change the colour of teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures. In most of the cases, some level of tooth reduction is necessary for optimal results. To achieve a pleasing smile, dentists fabricate diagnostic mock-ups, which act as a tooth preparation guide before the fabrication of veneers, ]  it allows the dentist to visualize the changes needed to be done on the patient’s teeth with respect to size, shape and proportion, its relation with gingival-contour, lip contour and smile line. Mock ups can be a great aid in fabricating pre-evaluation temporaries, which can give a preliminary evaluation to the aesthetics, phonetics and teeth occlusion.

Bridging

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Teeth on both sides of the space left by the missing teeth are prepared. A bridge is made up of abutments, the teeth that are prepped, and the missing, false teeth, which are called pontics. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth and is cemented in. Most bridges are fixed, they cannot be removed. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out in the same way that partial dentures can. In areas of the mouth that are under less stress, such as the front teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used. Cantilever bridges or Maryland Bridges are used to replace anterior or front missing teeth, are minimally invasive but do have a reputation for failure. Bridges require commitment to serious oral hygiene and carry risk.

Reshaping

Tooth reshaping removes parts of the enamel to improve the appearance of the tooth. It may be used to correct a small chip, or to alter the length, shape or position of teeth, as well as when there is tooth size discrepancy it can be used to correct crooked or excessively long teeth. It is also known as  enameloplasty ,  odontoplasty , contouring, recontouring, cosmetic contouring, slenderizing, stripping. This procedure offers fast results and can even be a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.

Gum depigmentation

Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching, is a procedure used in cosmetic dentistry to lighten or remove black spots or patches on the gums consisting of melanin.

Laser gum depigmentation

Melanocytes are cells which reside in the basal layer of the gingival epithelium. These cells produce melanin, which are pigments that cause light or dark brown spots in gums and oral mucosa. The most common cause is genetic factors or tobacco smoking, Smoker’s melanosis. If the melanin pigmentation is found in a person smoking cigarettes, the most effective way to get rid of the pigmentation is to stop smoking. Most of the patients are free from the melanin pigmentation after 3 months. A dental laser can target and ablate the melanocytes, thus reducing the production of melanin in the gingival tissue. Following laser depigmentation, the gingiva heals by secondary intention. This results in a lighter and more uniform colour of the gums.

Gum lifts

Gingival sculpting, also known as gingival contouring, is the process of reshaping the gum tissue around your teeth. A cosmetic dental treatment that can help reinvent your smile and improve your oral health, gingival sculpting involves a minimally invasive laser procedure to remove and re-sculpt uneven or excessive gum tissue. Typically, however, soft tissue sculpting also requires bone recontouring that cannot be accomplished with a laser alone. The result is healthy and natural-looking gums for a vital, young-looking and attractive smile that adds to your confidence and appeal. Gingival sculpting is most commonly performed by periodontists and cosmetic dentists. The minor in-office gum contouring procedure typically requires only one visit of about an hour. After a local anesthetic is applied to the gums, a soft tissue laser is used to trim away, re-contour and seal the excess gum tissue. There is only minor discomfort and no bleeding or stitches are involved.

  • A gum lift is a relatively painless procedure, performed using local anesthetic.

  • There are no stitches involved.

  • It’s a quick, easy surgery with a short recovery time.

    Results are usually permanent, with little to no follow-up treatment needed.
