What is the difference between a dentist and a cosmetic dentist?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the patient's facial appearance while general dentistry is concerned with the prevention and treatment of dental disorders. However, some cosmetic procedures can have oral health benefits and you may find that your general dentist carries out a range of cosmetic procedures.

Is cosmetic dentistry permanent?

In most cases, permanent treatments are those that use indirect restorations, as well as orthodontic treatment. Unlike reversible treatments, permanent cosmetic treatments have a longer lifespan and are more durable.

Is cosmetic dentistry important?

Cosmetic dentistry is important because in life, there are so many factors that cause teeth to chip, or to become discolored. Cosmetic dentistry fixes all of the imperfections you may see in yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

How can cosmetic dentistry improve my smile?

Cosmetic dentistry can provide a wide range of treatments for enhancing the smile’s appearance, allowing individuals to achieve a dazzling, radiant smile.

SmileWorks Dental Kensington offers a number of dental treatments to improve smiles, including teeth whitening to eliminate stains and discolouration, veneers to mask chips, cracks, and gaps, and even dental implants and crowns to replace missing or damaged teeth.

With these cosmetic treatments, individuals can achieve a brilliant smile, boosting self-confidence and self-esteem. Some of these treatments do not require long waiting periods and can be completed relatively quickly.

SmileWorks Dental Kensington offers a full range of dental services and treatments, allowing individuals to receive the highest quality dental care for a great smile makeover.

What are the benefits of porcelain veneers over composite veneers, and vice versa?

Porcelain veneers offer superior durability and stain resistance, while composite veneers provide a more cost-effective and convenient solution.

Porcelain veneers are a more invasive procedure, requiring a qualified health practitioner to take an impression of the teeth. This ensures a precise fit that is hard to replicate with composite veneers. Porcelain veneers also offer a more natural look, reflecting light like natural teeth.
Composite veneers, on the other hand, can be applied in a single visit and are less expensive than porcelain veneers. This makes them a more attractive option for those seeking a quicker solution.

When considering either porcelain or composite veneers, it is essential to consult with a qualified dentist to ensure you receive the most effective treatment.

Who is a suitable candidate for dental implants at SmileWorks Dental Kensington?

At SmileWorks Dental Kensington, individuals with healthy gums, adequate bone density, and an overall good level of health are generally considered suitable candidates for dental implants. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are also crucial for candidates considering dental implant treatment.

The team at SmileWorks Dental Kensington will conduct a comprehensive examination to evaluate a patient’s suitability for dental implants, as well as any other approaches for treatment that may be necessary.

How does the implant-supported denture differ from traditional dentures?

Implant-supported dentures offer a more secure and stable option than traditional dentures, providing improved comfort and enhanced chewing ability.

Unlike traditional dentures, which simply rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are surgically anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone of the patient. This ensures a firmer fit, which is more comfortable and allows for increased chewing power. Furthermore, the presence of implants helps to prevent bone loss in the jaw, contributing to a more youthful facial structure.

The team at SmileWorks Dental Kensington can help patients understand the impact of smile transformation and how to achieve the perfect smile.

Can I get full dentures at SmileWorks Dental Kensington?

SmileWorks Dental Kensington provides full dentures, offering patients a comfortable and realistic solution to replacing missing teeth. Our full dentures are tailored to the patient’s individual needs, ensuring a secure fit and a natural-looking smile.

Patients who choose full dentures can benefit from the following:

Straightening of Teeth: The dental clinic offers orthodontic care to help straighten teeth and improve your smile.

What is the recovery time for cosmetic dentistry procedures at SmileWorks Dental Kensington?

Patients considering cosmetic procedures can expect to enjoy various benefits while being mindful of the necessary recovery time associated with such treatments.

At SmileWorks Dental Kensington, the recovery time for cosmetic dentistry procedures varies depending on the specific treatment. For example, procedures such as teeth whitening or application of veneers do not usually require downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately. On the other hand, more complex treatments like dental implants or crowns may require some downtime for healing and adjustment.

The high-quality care team at SmileWorks Dental Kensington will provide patients with detailed post-treatment care instructions and an estimated recovery timeline so that they can plan their recovery accordingly and enjoy the benefits of their cosmetic dentistry treatments.

Additionally, with our day emergency treatment, wrinkle treatments, cover teeth, natural teeth, quality teeth, tooth mobility, dental care for you, and oral health plan options, our patients can rest assured that they will receive the highest quality care and be back to their ordinary routine in no time.
