Cosmetic Dentistry in Halifax
Comprehensive dental care is about more than our physical health: our mental and social health can depend on the quality of our teeth, too. After all, when we’re happy with the appearance of our smile, we feel more confident and more personable. It’s why we offer cosmetic dentistry services to our patients.
Veneers
Veneers are thin shells made from tooth-coloured resin. We permanently bond these strong and long-lasting prosthetics to a tooth’s front surface to help correct a range of cosmetic imperfections like discolourations, chips, and teeth that appear too small.
Crowns
If you have a tooth that’s too badly damaged to be fixed with a filling, but not so damaged that it needs to be pulled out, we can usually correct it using a crown. These porcelain or ceramic caps are permanently bonded to the top of damaged teeth.
Bonding
If you have stains on your teeth, chipped teeth, or imperfect spacing between teeth, we may recommend bonding to correct the issue. With a bonding treatment we use a tooth-coloured composite resin material to reshape the appearance of your tooth or teeth.
Teeth whitening
If you’d like a brighter, whiter smile, we can help you get it! Our at-home kit takes two weeks, and involves using a whitening gel and specially-designed trays that fit over your teeth. Our in-office whitening treatment involves a whitening lamp and light-activated gel and usually takes just one appointment.
Invisalign
With the Invisalign system you slip clear plastic aligners over your teeth to straighten them quickly, simply, and quite affordably. The nearly invisible aligners can be removed for eating and brushing. Every two weeks, patients return to the office to receive a new set of aligners.
