Are you unhappy with the shape or shade of your teeth? Do you avoid smiling because have a small tooth chip or crooked teeth? At Hermitage Dental, we offer cosmetic dentistry services in Edmonton, AB, for straighter and brighter teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the look and function of your teeth and gums.
Dr. Ranveer Chandy and his dental team provide cosmetic care as part of our dental services to patients in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and the surrounding areas. Our goal is to help you love your smile again.
Why Choose Dr. Chandy for Cosmetic Dental Care?
North Edmonton cosmetic dentist Dr. Ranveer Chandy is a graduate of Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. He’s been creating beautiful smiles in Edmonton since 2008, and stays current with the latest advancements in cosmetic dental care, including Invisalign.
Dr. Chandy treats aesthetic and oral health concerns at the same time. Creating an even bite or fixing small tooth chips creates a more balanced smile. Fixing these cosmetic issues can reduce your risk of tooth wear, gum disease, and TMJ. Dr. Chandy takes a thorough approach to treatment and uses his continuing education, so you have healthier teeth and cosmetic treatment with long-lasting results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for cosmetic treatment. Dr. Chandy evaluates three things at your consultation before he recommends treatment:
- Your gum health: Healthy gums frame cosmetic work and keep it looking natural. Active gum disease needs treatment first, because it can cause restorations to fail and change the shape of your smile over time.
- Your bite: This is where Dr. Chandy’s planning matters most. If your bite is unstable, cosmetic treatment can fail prematurely. He evaluates how your teeth meet and addresses any problems before cosmetic work begins.
- Your tooth structure: Some treatments require a small amount of enamel removal. If your teeth are worn or heavily restored with treatments like implants or dentures, a different approach might work better.
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t the right choice if you have untreated decay or advanced gum disease. Our office recommends treating infections before you begin the cosmetic treatment process.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services at Hermitage Dental
Our Edmonton cosmetic treatments can enhance how your smile looks and help your self-esteem. Whether you need to whiten your teeth, fix tooth chips or gaps, or straighten your teeth, our cosmetic procedures can help you smile bright.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is one of the simplest and most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer. It uses tooth-colored material to fix small problems like chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, and even to make teeth look longer. The process is pretty quick and painless. You can get same-day bonding if you want to make small improvements to your teeth without breaking the bank.
Porcelain Veneers
High-quality porcelain veneers are the perfect choice for a more dramatic transformation. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over the front of your teeth. They can cover up all kinds of issues, like:
- Stains that don’t respond to whitening
- Gaps between teeth
- Chips and cracks
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
Dental veneers are stain-resistant and a long-lasting option if you want to cover one or more teeth in your smile line. With proper care, they can last 10-15 years.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments we offer because it can make a large difference in a short amount of time. Coffee, tea, wine, and smoking can stain your teeth over time, but our whitening treatments can help remove these stains quickly.
We offer professional teeth whitening that’s much more effective than over-the-counter products. In-office whitening treatments can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single office visit. If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we also offer take-home whitening kits. Our kits come with custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel.
Invisalign
If you’re unhappy with your crooked teeth but don’t want to deal with traditional metal braces, try Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign uses a series of aligners to gradually straighten your teeth over time. This treatment is perfect for both teens and adults who want a discreet way to correct issues like:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites and underbites
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You can still eat your favorite foods and brush and floss your teeth with ease. Plus, most people won’t even know you’re wearing them because they’re so clear.
