Seeking that picture-perfect smile that lights up the room or turns heads wherever you go? One of the best ways to pamper your pearly whites is with cosmetic dentistry. At The Dental Junction, we offer a range of options to help you achieve the smile you’ve always envisioned.
Whether it’s brightening discoloured teeth or correcting chips and gaps, these popular cosmetic treatments can transform your smile and help you feel more self-assured. Here’s a closer look at some of the most common procedures that people seek to refresh their grins.
Veneers: Conceal Those Tooth Imperfections
Thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth, veneers are ideal for covering chips, cracks, gaps, and severe discolouration that can’t be treated with whitening. Veneers offer a long-lasting solution, typically lasting 10-15 years with proper care. The procedure usually takes two visits and involves minimal recovery time. While veneers can be more costly – at about $1000 per tooth for porcelain veneers – they provide dramatic, natural-looking results.
Teeth Whitening: Brighten Your Smile
A gleaming, bright smile is one of the best accessories anyone can possess. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular ways to turn tarnished teeth into a gorgeous grin.
Want to brighten your smile quickly? Our practice offers in-chair whitening, which can lift stains and discolouration in about an hour, while take-home kits offer more gradual results over a few weeks. Whitening is effective for most surface stains caused by coffee, tea, and smoking, but it may not work on deep stains. Costs vary, with in-office treatments typically in the range of $600, while take-home kits are generally more affordable.
Dental Bonding: A Quick Fix for Minor Issues
Are you seeking a budget-friendly way to correct small chips, gaps, or discolouration? If yes, bonding is a great option. It involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to correct minor imperfections.
The procedure is quick – usually completed in one visit. Although bonding is less durable than veneers, it offers a natural appearance at a lower cost, typically ranging from $100 to $400 per tooth. With proper care, bonded teeth can last 3-10 years.
Which Option Is Right for You?
The best cosmetic dental procedure depends on your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re looking for a brighter smile or want to fix imperfections, there’s a solution that fits your budget and lifestyle.
