Creating beautiful smiles naturally at CDC

Tooth Whitening

Most  aesthetic cases begin with tooth whitening. For many people having healthy white teeth gives them the lift they are looking for and that is where the process ends.

For others  we may need to replace old fillings or crowns in the front of the mouth as they do not change colour with tooth whitening.

Smile Design

Aesthetic Dentistry done well can produce magnificent results rejuvenating worn, broken down aged dentitions.

Aesthetics and smile design is based on removing visual tension from a person’s smile and returning natural beauty and balance (not necessarily symmetry) to the smile.

Aesthetics are a mixture of science and art. Our philosophy is to utilise a team approach involving the dentist, the dental technician and the patient, working together to design a new smile.

Form or shape is the most important ingredient in dental aesthetics.

The width / height ratios of teeth are particularly important.

Central Incisor width : height ratio
	American 75% - (Centrals & Laterals similar width / height  ratios & follow Golden proportions laterally)
	European 85% - Dominant Centrals (Laterals 75%)
	Australian 80% Centrals –somewhere in between?   (Laterals75%)

The position of the teeth and centre line is not always critical, balance & harmony following the shape of the lips is essential.

 

Bucky/prominent smiles

We often find broadening smiles utilising colour, form and volume can turn a prominent protrusive smile into a balanced harmonious one.

 

Worn/aged smiles

Over the years we lose enamel to wear and attrition aging our smiles. Replacing lost enamel  volume not only returns a smile to its original beauty but also strengthens the underlying tooth structure.

 

With all aesthetics the challenge is to take a concept and show you in your own mouth how it would appear before any commitment to treatment is made with our state of the art diagnostic techniques.
Whether it be masking discolourations and changing form,

Replacing lost or worn enamel,

Or closing spaces and correcting rotations.

Working with you of we can create beautiful smiles that mimic nature.

Whitening

Over time we find that our teeth change colour due to diet and aging factors. As we age, we find that tea, coffee, nicotine, red wine and cola can darken the teeth. The thinning of the enamel which comes with age can also cause the teeth to appear ‘yellow’. These are the types of stains that respond well to whitening. At CDC, we offer in-chair, instant whitening with ZOOM technology.  This treatment is quick and convenient for those people who are always on the go and do not necessarily have the time to whiten their teeth at home using individually made trays.  ZOOM whitening gives instant results and will dazzle you with a whiter brighter smile in no time at all.

Veneers

Veneers can improve your smile by aligning your teeth and improving the colour. If you have chipped brittle or worn teeth then a veneer can be a fantastic option for your front teeth.

Crowns

Crowns are used to completely restore the crown of your tooth. If you are looking to protect your teeth but also improve the colour and shape of one or more teeth then a crown can help.
