Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments: Everything You Need to Know

Dental care to some may simply mean ensuring that your mouth is healthy and functional, where regular check-ups and hygienist appointments can guarantee your oral health is well looked after. But beyond this, Dr Rez Dental can offer you a range of cosmetic dentistry treatments to help you achieve your best ever smile.

Cosmetic dentistry means more than orthodontic treatments or teeth whitening. At Dr Rez, we also offer a range of composite bonding and implant services, as well as veneers and adjustments that you can rely on.

Read on to find out more about the cosmetic dentistry we offer.

Top Reasons To Consider Cosmetic Dentistry

If you’re considering a cosmetic dentistry procedure, then your motivations to do so will extend far beyond visual improvements. Some other factors to consider may include:

Treatments are often quick and painless - procedures such as teeth whitening or prepless veneers can be completed in just a few hours, whilst numbing solutions can produce painless results without the need for anaesthetic injections.

Your confidence levels will increase - you may be looking to improve your overall appearance with cosmetic treatments, but the knock on effect of a confidence boost can improve all areas of your life, including your work and relationships.

Oral health will improve - adjusting misaligned teeth or removing plaque and decay as part of a procedure will have a positive effect on the overall health of your teeth and gums, as well as ensuring your smile is looking its best.

Procedures Offered By Dr Rez: From Composite Bonding To Crowded Teeth Treatment

Orthodontic Services

These treatments involve the realignment of misadjusted teeth, where we can resolve crowding, as well as crooked or protruding teeth.

At Dr Rez, we offer three different orthodontic treatment options. These include:

Fastbraces - these are a relatively new treatment which straighten the teeth much faster than traditional fixed braces

Invisalign - this is a clear aligner option where a removable system provides a discrete option for teeth straightening

SureSmile dental - a further clear aligner option which employs digital planning technology for more precise teeth movement

Dental Implants

This is a cosmetic procedure where our cosmetic dentist can replace one or multiple teeth, to create a natural looking smile and make eating more enjoyable.

An implant is formed from an artificial root made of a titanium screw, where the tooth replica is attached to this to create a secure new implant. This implant is not linked to your other teeth and so is not affected by the wider quality of your dental health. It is also much stronger than a normal tooth, and so should endure a range of eating and lifestyle habits.

Teeth Whitening

The colour of your teeth is something that can deteriorate over time due to age or lifestyle choices. At Dr Rez we offer a complete range of whitening treatments, which lighten the tooth colour without removing any of its surface.

Enlighten is our 3-week-week  treatment course, where patients are given an at-home kit, followed by a final dental visit to finish the service in house . This guarantees that you will achieve a B1 shade by the end of the process.

Dental Veneers

If you’d like to improve the overall appearance of chipped or discoloured teeth, then veneers could be the option for you. Veneers are thin porcelain shells which cover the teeth, correcting misalignments and overall flaws.

These function as a normal strong tooth in day-to-day life, and shouldn’t interfere with your eating habits. A veneer can be used on an individual tooth, or you can get a complete set to completely rejuvenate your smile.

Composite Bonding

This is a common cosmetic procedure which can be used to resolve gaps or slight damage with your teeth. The process involves attaching a composite resin to the tooth to mask imperfections, where it will blend in with the rest of your teeth for a natural appearance.

Composite bonding is a quick and easy treatment to resolve minor cosmetic issues. It is also non-invasive, compared to crown or veneer procedures where part of the tooth is extracted permanently. With composite bonds, the original tooth structure remains intact.

Gum Recontouring

This is a treatment to realign or adjust the gum line to make it more complimentary to your teeth. New crowns or veneers could make your gums look disproportionate, where an adjustment would be performed before your new treatment is completed. Some patients may be unhappy with their naturally high gum line, which can also be altered through a recontouring procedure.

This is carried out through a precise trimming process which repositions the gum margin, leaving you with a more confident smile.

White Spot Removal

White spots on one or multiple teeth is a common problem that can be quickly resolved by a cosmetic dentistry procedure. These can be caused by an over intake of fluoride, a calcium deficiency, or damage caused by braces.

At Dr Rez, we use ICON, which is an innovative spot removal product which works quickly to produce long-lasting results.

SmileFast

At Dr Rez, we are working with SmileFast to provide an innovative solution to cosmetic dentistry, rooted in guided smile design techniques. Investing in this process will provide you with an informative treatment plan, helping you to visualise your new smile and understand the costs involved.

This option combines orthodontics technology, ceramic treatments and composite bonding options to build your purpose built cosmetics plan.
