A cosmetic dentistry procedure is one that focuses on the appearance, rather than strictly the health, of your mouth, teeth and smile. These procedures are generally elective and not essential, but in some cases, they can be very beneficial. Cosmetic dentistry in Toronto is very popular, in part because there are many very simple forms of the practice that are quick, non-invasive procedures with excellent benefits for your smile.

Common Procedures Performed for Cosmetic Dentistry in Toronto

• Indirect Fillings/Porcelain Crowns - This procedure is also known as “Inlays and Onlays”. It is a process that uses indirect fillings made from dental porcelain, which mimics the colour of teeth. These inlays and onlays strengthen and support the teeth, and are attached to the damaged teeth using an adhesive dental cement. These crowns can restore the shape of the teeth and avoid decay or deterioration.
• Composite Bonding - This procedure works to repair decayed, discolored or damaged teeth. It is neither invasive nor difficult, and very popular as a result. “Composite” here refers to a resin that can be bonded to a chipped, cracked, or decayed tooth to fix its shape. The resin is also coloured to blend in with the rest of the tooth, making this process quick and simple, and allowing it to provide immediate results.
• Whitening - Whitening is one of the most basic and common aspects of cosmetic dentistry in Toronto performed today. It is, in essence, a particularly strong cleaning designed to eliminate plaque, tartar and other debris from the surface of the teeth, making them noticeably whiter.
• Tooth Reshaping - The outer covering of your teeth, called enamel, can be subtly modified or reshaped to eliminate tiny chips, smooth down excessively pointy teeth, or increase general symmetry. Tooth reshaping is a fairly straightforward procedure that usually causes no discomfort or pain. It is used for very slight modifications only – but those subtle changes can actually make a huge difference.
