Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures at VDSC
Porcelain Veneers
While many applications within cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile and change your life for the better, one effective (and popular) method is dental porcelain veneers.
Dr. Faranak Zaeimdar is a prosthodontist and a specialist who has been expertly trained in ceramic / porcelain veneers. Dr. Faranak Zaeimdar will literally re-design your smile, giving you the makeover you've always dreamed of.
Dentures & Implants
Dental implants are a durable solution that replaces missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth. Implants help maintain bone structure and provide a natural look and feel.
Dentures are another option for replacing multiple missing teeth. Depending on your needs, our clinic offers full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures. Each treatment is designed to restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a simple, conservative procedure used to repair small chips, cracks, or gaps. A tooth-colored resin is applied, shaped, and polished to match your surrounding teeth. Bonding can often be completed in a single visit and provides an immediate improvement in appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Over time, teeth may stain due to coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or natural aging. Professional teeth whitening removes these stains safely and effectively. At our clinic, we use advanced whitening systems that can lighten teeth several shades in one session. This treatment is a straightforward way to restore brightness and refresh your smile.
Common Cosmetic Dental Concerns
Missing Teeth
Tooth loss may result from decay, trauma, bone loss, advanced gum disease, or natural aging. Tooth loss can effect one or more teeth.
We provide several treatment options for replacing missing teeth with artificial teeth to provide a brand new smile. These options are based around dental implants and dentures. In terms of dental implants for missing teeth, we offer multiple types including all-on-four dental implants, Straumann implants, and a fixed bridge implant. For denture options, we offer flippers, metal partial dentures, implant supported dentures, and complete dentures.
Each option works to restore proper oral function while giving the patient a radiant smile.
Gummy Smile
A gummy smile can occur for different reasons. Common causes include hyperactive upper lips, altered tooth eruption, gum disease, excessive gum tissue, or skeletal discrepancies.
The recommended treatment will depend on the cause. Some dental procedures to treat a gummy smile may include gum contouring, crown lengthening, gum reshaping, orthodontics, or in some cases, jaw surgery. Our prosthodontists and periodontists work together to determine the best treatment plan to create a balanced smile with just the right amount of exposed gum tissue.
Chipped Cracked Teeth
Teeth may chip or crack due to trauma, teeth grinding (bruxism), or natural wear over time.
A weak or damaged tooth with minor chips may be repaired with dental bonding. Larger fractures might require porcelain veneers or dental crowns. For patients with ongoing bruxism, treatment may also involve creating a custom night guard to prevent further damage. If you require porcelain veneers or dental bonding, our main goal is to give a natural appearance that blends with your natural teeth.
Stained or Discoloured Teeth
Tooth discoloration can occur due to diet, smoking, aging, medications, or intrinsic stains within the tooth structure.
We offer professional teeth whitening services that are an effective treatment for most surface stains. In just one visit, our laser teeth whitening provides a whiter smile of up to 8 shades lighter. You have the option get teeth whitening on both the upper and lower teeth. For deeper or resistant discoloration, you may require multiple treatments to achieve your desired results. Porcelain veneers or crowns may also be recommended if you have significant, deep stains that can be resolved through teeth whitening.
