Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
What causes tooth discolouration?
Many things can cause tooth discolouration – smoking, tea, coffee and red wine are the main culprits, but stained-looking teeth is also just a natural part of ageing. As we age, our tooth enamel wears down and teeth begin to look yellow and dull. Cosmetic dentistry procedures like tooth whitening, which involves bleaching teeth using custom-made whitening trays and prescription gel – can help alleviate tooth discolouration, and give you back a beautiful smile.
Can teenagers and children undergo cosmetic dentistry?
Children and teenagers may be bothered by some issue with their teeth, including gaps, discolouration, or chips that could affect their self-esteem and social interactions. Some cosmetic dental procedures can correct issues that might begin with teenagers, and give them back a healthy, attractive smile. Some teens can benefit from teeth bleaching and whitening, if their tooth colour has been affected by medications or food or drink. However, we recommend that you whiten only permanent teeth that are fully erupted, as otherwise your teen might experience a greater sensitivity to the teeth whitening.
Can people with sensitive teeth get their teeth whitened?
Yes, teeth whitening is a procedure everyone can get, even those with sensitive teeth. Everyone deserves white teeth! However, if you know you have sensitive teeth, there are precautions and even sensitive teeth treatments you can do before the bleaching process. Brushing with desensitising toothpaste for two weeks prior to your treatment can reduce sensitivity, and not bleaching your teeth as frequently can also help.
What are white fillings?
White fillings are another name for composite resin fillings, which is a tooth-covered plastic and glass mixture used to restore chipped or decayed teeth. The advantages of white fillings over traditional amalgam fillings are that they aren’t noticeable in the mouth, and don’t require the dentist to remove as much tooth. Composites can also be used for cosmetic improvements like changing the colour of your teeth, or reshaping a disfigured tooth.
What are veneers?
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are applied to the outer surface of your teeth to improve their colour or hide any defects. They are suited to a surprisingly large variety of aesthetic solutions – fixing chipped teeth, filling dental gaps, smoothing irregularities, correcting misalignment and whitening. To fit veneers, the dentist will need to file away a thin layer of enamel first, before bonding your custom-made veneers permanently to your natural teeth.
