The cosmetic dentistry options at Garcia Dental Care are as comprehensive as they are individual: we make it our mission to provide each and every one of our patients with customized treatment recommendations that suit their financial situation, oral care concerns, and smile-related goals.
Today, we will be detailing why we are proud to offer dental implants, veneers, and crowns and bridges as cosmetic dentistry options here in Chatham.
Dental implants are a safe, effective, and affordable treatment for patients who have one or more missing teeth.
As an alternative to bridges, which are another popular cosmetic dentistry choice for many, dental implants look and feel like natural teeth and are used to replace missing roots.
You are a candidate for dental implants if you:
The process for dental implants involving a careful preliminary examination of your teeth, jaw, and head to solidify that this is the best treatment plan for your dental needs. From there, one or more dental implants will be placed beneath the gum tissue in the jawbone before being stitched into place. As the tissue around the implant heals, the implant will bond to the bone and the gum.
During the second phase of surgery, your dentist will attach an abutment (a post) that connects the replacement tooth to the implant. In most cases the first phase and second phase of surgery can be done together in one appointment. A dental bridge will be implemented if more than one tooth is missing in a row for stability purposes.
Classified as “thin, tooth-coloured shells that are attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance”, dental veneers are another one of our most-asked-for cosmetic dentistry options at Garcia Dental Centre.
Made from porcelain or resin-composite material, veneers are permanently bonded to teeth in order to seamlessly fix cracks, misshappenness, gaps, discolouration, and/or teeth that are a smaller size than average.
If you have insecurities surrounding the aesthetics of your teeth but have an otherwise healthy smile, veneers may be the option for you. During a preliminary consultation, your dentist will perform an evaluation to confirm this. At your following appointment, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and have a texturizer tool used on them before a dental cement is used to bind the veneers to the front of each tooth.
Last but certainly not least are crowns and bridges, which are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented to existing teeth are implants. They provide an efficient, natural-looking, and long-term fix to myriad common oral health concerns.
These concerns include:
