Teeth Whitening

A brighter, more youthful smile

When people are asked what bothers them most about the appearance of their smile, many say yellow or discoloured teeth. Fortunately, teeth whitening can remove stains and noticeably lighten the colour of the teeth. As a result, the entire smile looks healthier and more youthful. Whitening helps teeth that are stained or darkened because of:

Drinking dark-coloured beverages like coffee, tea and red wine
Use of tobacco — tar and nicotine give the teeth a yellowish colour
The natural effects of aging, as enamel thins and reveals more dentin
Trauma — teeth create more dentin in response to injury, darkening the tooth
Taking certain medications, such as antihistamines, blood pressure medications and antibiotics
Poor oral hygiene habits

Gum Contouring

Some patients are perfectly satisfied with the size, shape and colour of their teeth—yet are self-conscious of their gums. Prominent or excessive gum tissue, also known as a 'gummy smile,' can cover up a significant portion of the teeth, sometimes causing them to look uneven. Excess gum tissue can make the teeth appear short and distract from your smile. Our gum contouring treatment removes excess tissue and recontours the gums so they look proportional and complement the teeth—producing a more balanced gums-to-teeth ratio and the beautiful smile you desire.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding can improve the appearance of teeth by either repairing or concealing concerns, such as chipped, cracked, worn or discoloured teeth. This strong, tooth-coloured resin is applied to the affected area and carefully shaped to look like your natural tooth. A special light is then used to harden the material, making it a permanent part of your tooth. Bonding is a more conservative alternative to restorations like porcelain veneers, which often require some degree of tooth preparation.
