A new smile – commonly known as a smile makeover – transforms your appearance and can improve your self-confidence. With the help of a qualified dentist, there are a variety of treatments that will improve your smile whilst keeping in mind your dental health. With options available to suit all budgets, a smile makeover has never been easier.
Here are the most common ways people are choosing to improve their smiles on the Central Coast.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to create a smile transformation. Professional teeth whitening treatments can safely lift stains and brighten your teeth in no time.
At Gosford Family Dentists, professional whitening systems such as Zoom WhiteSpeed achieve noticeable results. In a single appointment, this clinically proven product can whiten your teeth up to eight shades. A brighter smile creates a fresh appearance and can contribute to your overall confidence.
Veneers
Veneers are another popular way to improve your smile. They’re thin coverings made from porcelain or composite resin and bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can restore chipped, worn or discoloured teeth in the more visible parts of your mouth.
Veneers create a natural looking smile by improving the shape, colour and alignment of your smile. Veneers can only be added to teeth that are still healthy, so talk to your dentist to learn if it’s the right solution for you.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular treatment for patients wanting to improve the alignment of their smile. A series of clear, custom-made aligners gradually move teeth into the desired position. They’re designed to fit comfortably over your teeth and are almost invisible, making them a discrete option.
They’re an ideal choice for the roughly one in four adult orthodontic patients in Australia.
Dental crowns
Designed to strengthen an existing tooth that is weak, broken or severely discoloured, a dental crown is a cap that covers the tooth and restores its shape, strength and aesthetic. Advancements in dental technology allows dentists to create crowns that closely match the shape of your natural tooth.. Our dentists will recommend a dental crown where veneers aren’t an option due to the severity of the tooth’s condition.
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are used to restore smiles for patients with several missing or extracted teeth. A dental bridge can restore normal biting and chewing as well as bring back your healthy smile and confidence. There are four types of dental bridges that you may be recommended:
Traditional bridges – one or more artificial teeth bonded to dental crowns placed on the teeth beside the gap.
Cantilever bridges – similar to traditional bridges, supported on only one side of the gap.
Implant supported bridges – supported by dental implants rather than dental crowns.
Resin bonded bridges – a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth.
