Cosmetic dentistry relates to any dental work that enhances or even rectifies minor flaws of a person’s teeth, gum or even their bite. And while the main concern of cosmetic dentistry is the improvement of the colour, shape, size and alignment of your teeth, this is done to enhance your smile to the fullest and restore your self-confidence.
At One Smile Oral Care in West Malling, cosmetic dentistry treatments include dental veneers, teeth whitening and gum contouring. However, these procedures are not only for cosmetic purposes, but may also improve oral problems that you may experience. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your teeth thoroughly and help you decide which treatment is ideal for your individual case.
Dental veneers
Dental veneers are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of the teeth. They are easy to install and very versatile, since they can fix more than one dental problem in one go. They are commonly used to improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, stained, misshapen and gapped teeth. They can also be used to correct mild misalignments instead of resorting to metal braces. Dental veneers at One Smile Oral Care are made of porcelain, which is coloured like your natural teeth.
Teeth whitening
If your teeth are dull and discoloured, professional teeth whitening can give you a whiter, brighter smile. At One Smile Oral Care, we use the Zoom whitening system that employs innovative technology to whiten your teeth by several shades in less than an hour at the dental practice. This treatment is ideal for patients who are really busy and want to see results almost immediately.
Gum contouring
For some people, a full smile with bright white teeth is not possible, as their smile consists of small teeth with a lot of gum tissue. At One Smile Oral Care, an asymmetrical or gummy smile can be corrected with gum contouring through the use of a laser. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is reshaped to reveal more of the natural tooth and balance your smile.
