Teeth Whitening

Professional, in-office teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the world today. There are also a number of options for whitening treatments available for every budget and temperament. When used as directed, at-home treatments– such as whitening trays and whitening strips – can be an effective alternative.

However, there are major advantages to having your teeth whitened at West Maitland Dentistry:

• Strength – While some people might be satisfied with the “one-size-fits-all” color option of those over the counter kits, Dr. Dhaliwal can get your teeth a shade that is custom picked by you.
• Sensitivity– Those over the counter kits can cause unwanted sensitivity.  Dr. Dhaliwal can customize the bleach used to whiten your teeth to make sure it is comfortable as possible to get the results you want.

Crowns

When the surface of a tooth is damaged, a crown can be placed over the remaining tooth structure in order to protect it and restore its strength. Unlike other restorative dental options which must be periodically removed from the mouth, crowns are permanently attached to the teeth. This makes them a very effective solution for restoring your ability to bite and chew.

You may need a crown for the following reasons:

• If you have a cavity that is too large for a filling.
• Need to restore a dental implant.
• Want to cover a discolored or badly shaped tooth and improve your smile.
• Have had a root canal treatment.
• Have a missing tooth and need a bridge.
• If your tooth is fractured.

Veneers

Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve the appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.

Benefits of Veneers:

• Easily Fix Tooth Shape
• Instantly Fix Dark Stains
• Easily Fix Chipped Teeth
• Less Cutting Down of Natural Teeth
