Smile designing is a procedure that elegantly creates a straight, white and natural looking smile that looks beautiful. The procedure can fully restore the health and appearance of your teeth regardless of their original state.
Dental veneers and laminates are cosmetic dental treatments to enhance the beauty and appearance of teeth. Dental veneers are thin tooth-colored shells that are placed on the surface of teeth. The procedure is minimally invasive and only requires small amount of enamel to be removed. Dental laminates uses advance material that is much thinner than veneers and requires less amount of enamel to be removed. Its thickness is similar to that of contact lenses.
There are treatments available which do not require braces to close the gaps. Some of them are:
- Composite Bonding: Composite bonding is used to close small gaps between teeth using tooth-coloured material. It is a relatively easy, long-lasting, and noninvasive procedure that yields excellent results when performed properly.
- Veeners: Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that have been shaped in a lab to match the shape and colour of your teeth. It covers up any deformities or gaps in your teeth by placing and bonding over the front of your teeth.
- Invisalign: Invisalign are invisible aligners that adjust your teeth and shape dental arches. In contrast to fixed braces, dental aligners are made from durable and flexible plastic. They can be removed and cleaned, resulting in a healthier smile.
