Cosmetic dentistry not only improves aesthetics but also boosts confidence and self-esteem, allowing individuals to achieve their desired smile and overall oral health goals.

1- Porcelain Veneers

Is your tooth cracked, fractured or decayed? A composite resin filling might be the answer! Perfectly matching the colour of your teeth, composite resin fillings are the most frequently used dental restoration method. Painless and easy to apply, composite resin is often a number one choice for dentists. It not only fills in grooves and cracks that are susceptible to decay, it also reattaches fractured teeth.

Reasons to get porcelain veneers:

How are porcelain veneers placed?

Placing porcelain veneers generally requires two visits. The first involves a dental check-up with light polishing and modelling of the teeth to be covered.

A dental impression is made to create custom-made veneers in the laboratory. Finally, you and your dentist select the shade of your veneers.

It’s during the second visit that all the magic happens! Your teeth are cleaned, and the veneers are put in place. Aesthetic and durable, they will stay put for several years to come, giving you an attractive and radiant smile.

2- Fixed bridges

A fixed bridge is an excellent way to fill in the space left by an extracted tooth. Supported by the adjacent natural teeth, a bridge can enhance your smile in addition to improving chewing, digestion, and speech.

Although they are covered by the bridge, your natural teeth are still very susceptible to decay so impeccable dental hygiene is a must. Brushing and flossing are indispensable, as are annual check-ups and cleanings at the dentist’s office.

3- Crown lengthening

Would you like to improve the look of your smile? Thanks to cosmetic dentistry, you can. If you are struggling with a “gummy smile” and flashing more gums than teeth, we can help you.

Crown lengthening is a simple procedure that re-contours the gum line by reducing it. This way, teeth appear larger and the smile more attractive.

Although it is normally a cosmetic dentistry procedure, crown lengthening can reduce the risk of periodontal disease in at-risk patients.

Once the procedure is complete, the dentist applies a periodontal dressing to the treated area and prescribes pain medication as well as antimicrobial mouthwash to lessen the risk of infection. The gums heal within two to three months.

4- At-home teeth whitening

Your smile is part of who you are, so don’t hold back because your teeth aren’t as white as you’d like them to be. At Centre Dentaire Olympique, we offer an at-home dental whitening kit. This non-invasive treatment allows you to change the colour of your teeth and enhance your smile.

Teeth whitening: things to consider

Since whitening products only work on natural teeth, you will have to replace your current fillings or crowns so that they match the colour of your newly whitened teeth.

Steps to follow for effective teeth whitening

Simply book an appointment at our clinic where we will make an impression of your teeth and create custom-made trays that fit you to perfection. Once completed, we will provide you with two tubes of at-home whitening gel to use for 6 months to a year.

The whitening trays must be worn twice a day for 30 minutes or all night for a certain number of weeks depending on the desired whiteness.
