Cosmetic Dental Solutions

Porcelain Crowns & Veneers

Ready to enhance your smile? Our cosmetic dentist can help you restore or improve the appearance of damaged teeth with modern cosmetic dental procedures. Tooth-coloured materials, like porcelain crowns and veneers, offer a natural-looking solution for teeth that are chipped, heavily restored, or missing. In some cases, thin pieces of porcelain, known as veneers, are placed on the tooth’s surface to provide an aesthetic enhancement over the remaining natural tooth structure. A full mouth crown might be necessary if a tooth is more severely damaged or weakened. Either way, you can expect results that look both beautiful and natural.

We've invested in new dental technology to improve the patient experience for our cosmetic procedures! We now have a 3D printer and zirconia milling system that allow us to create crowns in-house. The 3D printer allows for innovative and cost-effective approaches to comprehensive care, while the mill offers tried-and-true solutions similar to what would be produced in a dental lab. These new additions allow us to control all avenues of delivering care to our patients and take extra steps that may be overlooked in commercial labs.

Teeth Whitening

If you've ever wanted a whiter smile, teeth whitening is a great place to start. As teeth age, they naturally darken, and habits like drinking coffee, wine, or smoking can lead to surface stains. Our professional and easy-to-use teeth whitening treatments can effectively remove most of these superficial stains.

At Knox Mountain Dentistry, we offer convenient, at-home teeth whitening systems. After taking impressions of your teeth, we create custom trays for you to use at home. With proper care, these trays can last for years, allowing you to maintain your brighter smile at your own pace. We aim to help you enjoy a healthy, bright smile that boosts your confidence.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an excellent solution for minor cosmetic issues, like chips, discoloration, or minor misalignment. This procedure involves placing tooth-coloured filling material onto the tooth, then sculpting and polishing it to match your natural teeth. Dental bonding is a more affordable option than veneers or crowns and can last for many years with minimal maintenance, often just requiring an occasional polishing. It’s a simple, effective way to improve your smile without more extensive cosmetic dental treatments.

FAQs About Cosmetic Dentistry

1Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Many cosmetic procedures are designed to be as gentle and comfortable as possible. Dentists often use local anesthetic when needed to ensure you don’t feel pain during the treatment. Some treatments may cause mild sensitivity afterward, especially whitening, but this usually fades within a few days.
2Are cosmetic dental procedures safe?
When performed by a trained and licensed dental professional, cosmetic procedures are generally very safe. Your dentist will start by evaluating your oral health before recommending treatments to ensure your gums and teeth are healthy enough for the work. They will explain any risks and aftercare so you know what to expect.
3Will cosmetic dentistry help if I have stained or discoloured teeth?
Yes, cosmetic treatments are often highly effective at improving the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth. Professional whitening can lift deep stains, and veneers or bonding can cover up spots that don’t respond well to whitening. Your dentist will help you decide which approach best suits your situation and desired outcome.
4Can cosmetic dentistry fix chipped or uneven teeth?
Absolutely. Chipped, uneven, or slightly misaligned teeth can be easily improved with the right cosmetic options like bonding or veneers. These treatments reshape the tooth surface and make your smile look balanced and uniform. Fixing small imperfections can make a dramatic difference in the overall appearance of your grin.
5Can cosmetic dentistry fix gaps between my teeth?
Yes, gaps between teeth, also called diastemas, can be corrected using any of several cosmetic methods that can be discussed with your dentist. Dental bonding can fill small spaces quickly, while veneers can provide a more permanent, uniform look. In some cases, Invisalign or other orthodontic treatments may also be recommended to close larger gaps before cosmetic finishing touches are applied.
6Are there cosmetic options for teeth that are worn down or uneven from grinding?
Yes, teeth that are chipped, worn, or uneven due to grinding can be somewhat-easily restored with veneers, crowns, or bonding. These treatments rebuild tooth structure while improving aesthetics, making your smile look more uniform and healthy. Your dentist may also recommend a night guard to protect the teeth after cosmetic restoration.
