Cosmetic Dentistry

Aside from giving you a gorgeous smile, making your teeth look better will also lead to improved health on many levels. For example, our cosmetic dentists in Brisbane can help you straighten your teeth to easily achieve improved oral hygiene overall, so you will be less likely to need further treatment in the future.

But the best part is that with your fresher smile you will look and feel younger and even develop more self-confidence.

Never underestimate the power of a smile.

At Dental Standards, we’re well aware of the confidence our clients get from bright, white and healthy teeth. If you’re not happy with the appearance of your smile, then cosmetic dentistry could be the solution you’ve been looking for.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry involves the use of numerous techniques and procedures to improve the appearance of your teeth. However, its purpose extends beyond the aesthetic, improving functionality by aligning teeth correctly and fixing bite issues.

Exploring our cosmetic dentist services:

Let’s take a look at some procedures that fall under the umbrella of cosmetic dentistry:

Teeth Whitening

Smile Packages (Veneers)

Fillings

Porcelain Crowns

Denture Locking Implants

Teeth whitening

This is the most common technique used to fix discoloured teeth. There are three versions of this procedure available:

• In-chair treatments performed by a dentist
• Kits made by a dentist to be used at home
• Over-the-counter kits to be used at home

The difference between the three alternatives relates to their efficacy. The at-home treatments are less effective and need to be performed more often, while the treatments done at the clinic by a dentist are stronger and require only a single visit.

Dental veneers

Veneers are little enamel shells that fit over stained or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are durable, stain resistant and easy to maintain. Composite veneers are quicker to apply and less expensive. A consultation with your dentist will help you determine which option is best for you.

White fillings

Gone are the days of old amalgam (or metal) fillings. Contemporary white fillings give a far more natural look, are more cosmetically appealing, have reduced sensitivity to temperature and can restore the original strength of the tooth.

Fillings are not just a part of cosmetic dentistry; they are an essential part of your oral health. Holes in your teeth are caused by decay, and if left unchecked, this damage will continue to spread and ruin otherwise healthy parts of the tooth. This damage is irreversible, so addressing any tooth decay issues as soon as possible is essential.

Crowns & dental bridges

Crowns are custom-designed little helmets that sit over a tooth and restore its integrity. Bridges fill in the space left by missing teeth. Both of these options provide an aesthetically-pleasing solution for those with damaged or missing teeth.

What is the difference between a crown and a dental bridge? We would recommend a dental crown to reinforce a cracked or fractured tooth, replace a large filling or strengthen a tooth that has undergone a root canal. A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth, using teeth on either side of a gap to support a crown each to which a pontic (floating tooth) is attached to replace the missing tooth.

Dentures

Dentures are a wonderful innovation, used to replace one, two or even all of your teeth. They can feel a bit strange at first, but after a time you won’t even notice them.
