What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry can bring you a beautiful new smile. The Pain Free Dentist Sydney uses the latest oral technology to deal with issue such as improper alignment of teeth, abnormal teeth, and tooth discoloration. There are many methods in cosmetic dentistry, such as tooth whitening, composite veneers, porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, teeth veneers, teeth whitening, braces, invisible braces. This is tailor-made, case-by-case dental treatment to create the smile you've always wanted.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the most effective way to instantly improve your smile and confidence. It is a viable cosmetic option for almost every patient, and is generally safe and effective because it does not mask discolouration, but allows teeth to appear naturally white by neutralising pigments and stains.

Don't be fooled by the products on the counter. Some over the counter products contain acid that will dissolve teeth. These teeth whitening over the counter products are ineffective and may not be safe to use. Dental teeth whitening products are TGA approved and have gone through stringent process to ensure safety and efficacy.

Home Teeth Whitening

The basic principle of all whitening methods is the same: different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth, and once settled, it penetrates into the tooth structure, remove teeth stains and pigments inside the teeth. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemically unstable compound that breaks down into free radicals that attack pigment groups (color molecules) in the tooth structure. Due to the instability of hydrogen peroxide, it can decompose prematurely if not handled properly, rendering some solutions ineffective. It’s all about details and care of work.

It is essential to visit a professional dentist for consideration of teeth whitening.

For whitening of dark, dull, or stained teeth, take-home teeth whitening may be the simplest solution. A whitening kit is made by your dentist specifically for you by taking a mould of your teeth and fabrication of a soft clear tray. This tray is filled with a bleaching gel and placed directly over the teeth in the mouth. This gel filled tray can be worn for several hours during the day or at night while you sleep. Results can be seen daily. To attain maximum results, most patients must wear the bleaching tray for 4 days.

Cosmetic dentistry: Teeth Whitening and Smile Makeover

Smile makeover can be considered successful if I understand what it is that the patient wants, and then I give them exactly that. Other consideration of smile makeover are underlying structure of your lips, your cheek, your jaw and your chin are all supported and shaped by your teeth. Because of this, I can look at your face and see how they have changed over time. A smile makeover can support missing teeth and sunken jawline giving a person a youthful look. Something which is beyond teeth.

The position and fullness of your lips is determined by your teeth. So one of the first things that we at Pain Free dentist look at is to see how full your lips are. If your lips aren't even and full, our dentist would ask, "Why not?"

If your top lip is not as full as your bottom lip, the dentist would know that your top teeth are receded or pushed back from their ideal position.

If you have lines going down at the corner of your lips, the dentist can infer that your bite has changed over time, and that your teeth have worn down.

If your bottom lip is going in and narrowed, the dentist would expect to see that your bottom teeth are crowded together, narrowing your bottom arch.

If a person's face has gotten more square over time, that tells the dentist that they clench and grind their teeth. The dentist will expect to see some of your teeth to be quite ground down.

When you smile,if the smile is crooked or the dentist can observe dark holes inside their mouth on either side of their smile, then the dentist knows that their teeth have moved out of place, probably crowded in.

As you change the teeth – the appearance of lips, cheeks and chin will also change. For example, upon the use of veneers of correct thickness and crowns to bring a patient's teeth forward and into a more ideal position as seen in the before and after image, your lips become fuller and more symmetrical in appearance. Our dentists will also able to widen your smile.

Our dentists use a completely safe protocol to remove those silver-colored fillings. We replace them with tooth-colored materials that are compatible with your own biochemistry.

Are your teeth pitted? Stained? Uneven? Spaced? Our dentists are trained with a keen eye to ensure the teeth and gums are measured to its true proportion to achieve an excellent cosmetic result.

Composite Bonding

When teeth are chipped or slightly decayed, bonded composite resins may be the material of choice. Bonding makes a great tooth colored filling for small cavities and broken or chipped surfaces. It can also be used to close spaces between teeth. Additionally, bonding is used to cover the entire surface of a tooth to change its color and shape. Bonding may not be strong enough, aesthetic enough, or durable enough for certain individual situations. When these problems occur there are many other choices which can be discussed.

Composite vs Porcelain Veneers

The physical properties of composite bonding are not as good as that of porcelain veneer, so it is easier to stain, peel or become dull over time. Therefore, the dentist pays attention to maintain a beautiful smile using the composite bonding.

If multiple teeth need to be repaired, our dentists would suggest that porcelain veneer may be an option due to its superior physical, optical properties and longevity.

Initial consultation at Pain Free Dentist is a key step in carefully considering whether a composite or porcelain veneer is the best treatment.

Composite Veneers cost

The cost of the composite varies from patient to patient. The first step before deciding on the cost of the composite veneers requires preliminary cosmetic dental consultation with our dentist. From there, our dentist will provide you with a customised composite veneers treatment plan, and be able to discuss and provide you with a composite veneers cost.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneer, as a kind of dental veneer, is the ideal standard of today's dental cosmetology. They are the dental veneers treatment of choice, creating perfect, natural smiles because of their effectiveness, aesthetic appeal and longevity. Porcelain veneers provide a holistic approach to treating gaps and chips or broken teeth by bonding thin, translucent 'shells' in your existing teeth.

With the dental veneers costs driven so low (thanks to technological innovations) more people are now looking at them as a viable alternate to their dental issues. Dental Veneers are ceramic (usually Porcelain) or other composite resin-based ultra-thin shells, which are affixed onto the front of the patients’ teeth. The simplicity of the procedure involved means that it is not only cheap to undergo, but requires from little to no anesthesia to perform.

Why choose porcelain veneers

Dental veneers can be made from a range of materials and techniques that can produce a wide range of changes in appearance, longevity and bio-compatibility. While many fancy tooth names claim to be better, the fact is that only a hand-layered glass and porcelain veneer can produce a stunning 3D optical aesthetic with natural teeth with minimal invasion. These veneers also have the most reliable records in dental research. Unlike alternatives to industrial production, these require extensive and painstaking attention to detail with a high level of artistic skill. Beautiful, natural aesthetics take time, care and a lot of love to create.

Benefits

Porcelain veneers is used to treat a variety of tooth diseases, so that damaged or deformed teeth can be restored back to the ideal appearance and strength. Unlike many other procedures, such as crowns, porcelain veneers require a very small reduction of teeth (only 3%, compared with up to 75% for crowns).

Contrary to popular belief, when porcelain veneers are attached to a tooth, they are as strong as a natural, untouched tooth. When used in a delicate way, these ceramic veneers can be used for years without being visible from a tooth that has not been touched.

The porcelain veneers take advantage of advances in materials science and bonding technology, and conforms to the bionic principles of dentistry. Our dentists choose procedures and materials based on their ability to protect natural teeth, and imitate them aesthetically and functionally.

Porcelain CrownS

Crowns , also known as dental caps, are tooth-like shell that cover carefully prepared existing teeth. Designed to enhance, restore, or improve the appearance of your natural teeth, crowns or caps is attached to each tooth like a thimble on your finger. When a tooth is severely weakened or repaired, or a tooth is broken or cracked, a crown is usually required. Porcelain crowns are usually placed where there is not enough tooth structure to support tooth filling.

The traditional crown is made of porcelain fused to a metal base. The latest development in dental cosmetic materials is the development of metal-free, ceramic crown. The absence of metal allows for a highly aesthetically pleasing, translucent crown that perfectly mimics the characteristics of natural teeth. Good structure and accurate crowning can last for years and result in excellent oral health.

Benefits

The dental cap or crown requires a substantial reduction in tooth structure and may cause considerable damage to tooth tissue, including the pulp (nerve). The reality is that traditional crowns or caps are not technically demanding and are often favored by dentists as an easier way to treat severely damaged teeth. Contrary to this trend, we at Pain Free Dentist Sydney incorporate innovative, cutting-edge technology into everyday practice as a more teeth-friendly, durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative.

To achieve the strength and retention required for restoration, the crown requires a substantial reduction in healthy tooth structure (up to 75%). Paradoxically, this leads to a corresponding weakening of teeth. In contrast, adhesion porcelain repair requires minimal tooth reduction, and when bonded to a preserved tooth, it is extremely strong even in the thinnest part.
