“Make Your Dream Smile a Reality”
Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is among the most requested cosmetic services in many dental clinics these days. The desire to achieve whiter teeth has many consumers purchasing whitening products off the drugstore shelf, and not achieving the results they desire. If this is your experience, may we recommend a clinical strength whitening product?
Dental clinics offer stronger bleaching solutions to achieve more results in fewer treatments, and they also offer rehydrating gels which hydrate the tooth’s inner dentin after a whitening treatment to reduce the side-effect of sensitivity. While over-the-counter systems are convenient, they often do not offer an easy way to keep the whitening solution restricted to the teeth. Strips and gels that are applied to the teeth often come into direct contact with the cheeks and gums, causing these sensitive tissues to become irritated and sore. Clinical strength products offer custom dental trays or gum barriers to significantly decrease the impact on the soft tissues of the mouth.

Internal Bleaching
The procedure is performed by making a small hole in the tooth in order to access its inner chamber where the pulp and nerve of the teeth were found prior to root canal therapy. A small amount of bleaching solution is applied to the core of the tooth and left to bleach it for 1-2 days before removing the solution, cleaning the inner chamber of the tooth, and resealing it with a small filling.

If you have damaged a tooth but not lost it, you may be concerned about its shape, colour and function. Damaged teeth not only appear different next to the rest of your natural teeth, but they can become weak and prone to sensitivity or further damage. In order to repair and restore the tooth, your dentist may recommend a crown. A crown is a false tooth which is hollowed out on the inside in order to accommodate your natural tooth. The natural tooth is prepared by shaping and etching it to ensure that it will fit well within the crown, and bond effectively to the material. Crowns are made in the same shade as its neighbours in order to help conceal that it is a false tooth, and the shape is replicated to ensure that it not only looks great but promotes a healthy functional bite alignment. The crown covers the entire surface of the tooth right down to the gum line. Take care of your crowns by brushing and flossing daily and it should last approximately ten years!
If you are missing a natural tooth along your dental arch and there are concerns about the gap’s appearance, or that the adjacent teeth may drift out of alignment, a bridge could be the right solution for you! Bridges are similar to crowns, but bridges ‘bridge’ the gap between teeth by attaching a false tooth to its neighbouring crown in order to fill in the space and to retain the appropriate amount of spacing between teeth to eliminate the risk of drifting.
