Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Several dental treatments are in line with enhancing aesthetics and North Ryde Dentistry offers such services.
Dental Veneers is an increasingly popular procedure that fixes minor gaps on teeth and enhances the smile through a variety of colours and sizes of dental veneers that can be customised for you. This comprises a set of thin, tooth-coloured shells placed on the surface of teeth which may be composite or porcelain in material.
With its stain resistant property and with the better durability of modern porcelain veneers Sydney, your perfect smile crafted using this procedure can last you a good 10 year with proper maintenance and good oral hygiene.
For those that prefer a quick fix for the colour of their teeth to enhance the brightness, teeth whitening is the procedure for you. At North Ryde Dentistry, we offer both take home teeth whitening and in-chair teeth whitening methods.
Take Home Teeth Whitening is a gradual process where patients can control how white their teeth would be after the procedure. This comprises a whitening gel and a mouth tray that patients can wear for a period of time until they reach their desired results.
Meanwhile, our In-Chair Teeth Whitening promises results in 90 minutes. We use the SDI PolaOffice+ whitening system, producing more efficient, affordable and longer lasting results. This in chair procedure is facilitated by our oral health therapist or dentist. Patients choose this option if they prefer immediate improvement that lasts long.
Several dental fillings are available in the market and the composite material has superior aesthetics for a more natural restoration from tooth decay. Modern dental composites not only have superb appearance, feel, and finish, but they also have better strength to withstand normal teeth functions without fracturing.
For patients with badly damaged teeth due to fracture or tooth decay, or for those with missing teeth, dentists recommend ceramic dental crowns and bridges respectively. Ceramic is a high-quality material that boasts of excellent aesthetics while fixing your problem of tooth function so cementing it onto molar teeth should not be a problem.
Ceramic is customisable to adapt to the colour of the rest of your teeth so it is virtually impossible for anyone to spot differences of ceramic dental crowns from your natural teeth when you smile.
Some patients have naturally lower gum lines and therefore shorter looking teeth. This is quite unattractive to look at when you smile especially for those exacting patients.
Aside from that, a lower gum line is more prone to several gum diseases such as gingivitis as there is more surface area for food debris to lodge into.
To help with this, North Ryde Dentistry recommends gum lift to reduce the gums and lengthen the teeth, making them more proportionate and pleasing when you smile.
For patients with crooked teeth, solving the problem using clear aligners that are almost impossible to see is heaven sent. Through Invisalign, gradual movement of teeth into its proper position is facilitated.
This results in a more comfortable bite and an overall better oral health for the patient.
