Have you ever wondered what a cosmetic dentist does? Although it may seem as if the services that a cosmetic dentist offers are only made for mere improvement of the aesthetics of one’s teeth, cosmetic dentistry enhances more than just that. Apart from helping you have the perfect teeth, a cosmetic dentist could improve your confidence in yourself. And yet after learning all about what a cosmetic dentist does, do you have any idea when you should seek their expertise? Here are some of the reasons why you should consider cosmetic dentistry:

First, if you are missing a tooth and you want to know if it is still possible for you to have a complete set of teeth, then getting in touch with your cosmetic dentist is your most ideal option.

Second, if you feel uncomfortable with your dentures, they might just have enough knowledge to help you deal with your false teeth. In fact, you no longer have to deal with the discomfort that awkward-looking dentures usually give. Now, you can get your dentures fixed or replaced and finally smile with confidence again.

Third, you always have the option of seeking dental implants instead. Aside from dental implants looking more natural than any dentures, they can be more comfortable too and incredibly durable and natural-looking. Though you may not be a candidate for dental implants, depending on your jawbone strength and amount of gums, it’s worth investigating whether dental implants would be a good option for you. Please note, we don’t do implants in our office. Ask us for referrals!

All that a cosmetic dentist does is improve your life; it’s not just about having brilliant white teeth, it’s about having the confidence to go through life with a smile and a warm demeanor. See if the cosmetic dentists at Greenline Dental Centre can help you by setting up a consultation today.

In existence for over 30 years, dental veneers are still not commonly understood or utilized by many dental patients in Coquitlam.

While most people have heard of whitening teeth with bleach treatments, they are not aware that they are being exposed to the bleaching alternative almost daily. In fact, dental veneers are worn by actors, models and professionals and play a huge roll in the cosmetic dentistry industry.

“Dental veneers do more than just make your smile look beautiful, they can also help fix for biting problems, help fill in gaps between teeth, or straighten overlapping teeth.”

Dental veneers are similar to acrylic fingernails, where a replacement is shaped and placed on the natural nail. Veneers are made of a thin layer of custom-made porcelain or composite material, which are then placed over the natural tooth.

However, unlike an acrylic nail, veneers are incredibly tough. Patients with dental veneers are still able to bite into carrots, eat fudge, or enjoy anything else they would normally. Dental veneers are completely sealed against the natural tooth, lasting for several years without regular maintenance.

While professional teeth whitening may have a few limitations, veneers are used to solve a variety of oral health issues. Bleaching is typically used only to lighten teeth, without the ability to change the position, size or shape of teeth.

Dental veneers do more than just make your smile look beautiful, they can also help fix for biting problems, help fill in gaps between teeth, or straighten overlapping teeth.

Dental veneers also allow you to keep much of your natural tooth, which is always ideal. Veneers are custom-made to cover just the front and biting surface of your teeth, which leaves the back area untouched.

Don’t forget, if you are interested in any cosmetic dentistry solutions from Greenline Dental, it is incredibly important to maintain proper oral health.

Cosmetic Dentistry has become increasingly more accepted for patients thanks to popular reality shows that focus on dramatic smile makeovers. Dental patients in Coquitlam are beginning to understand how easy it is to create their ideal smile with the available cosmetic dentistry solutions.

“Cosmetic Dentistry in Coquitlam, BC has come a long way in providing smile correction. Dental patients can benefit greatly by taking advantage of gummy smile treatment and other cosmetic dentistry solutions.”

We are often asked questions about what a cosmetic dentist can accomplish at Greenline Dental, and many patients are surprised at all the smile correction solutions we provide.

One popular cosmetic procedure is ‘gummy smile’ treatment or correction. A gummy smile occurs when a large section of gums appear when the patient smiles or laughs. In some cases, there will be more gum area visible than teeth.

Patients complain about their ‘gummy smile’ because they seem to resemble an adolescent, with prominent gums and small teeth. Generally, this smile comes from genetics, which causes the typical gum development to stop early, leaving teeth shorter than they should be.

A gummy smile correction can be treated in a few different ways. First, patients with less severe or moderate gum problems can be treated by lifting the gums and utilizing dental veneers. This “gum-lift”, similar to a face-lift, sculpts the gums to a natural height, allowing veneers to be affixed to the teeth to allow for a beautiful, new smile.

Second, for severe gum disproportion, treatment can include the physical breaking and repositioning of the upper jaw. This can require a healing time of up to two months and the jaw will be wired shut.
