Cosmetic Dentistry

A Dazzling Smile can ignite a room and project an image of self confidence and high personal esteem. How often have you looked at the Hollywood stars and envied their pearly white teeth as they dazzled under the arc lights.

Now this smile can be yours!!

Aesthetic dentistry is not a speciality "per se" in dentistry but what it involves is an amalgamation of different techniques performed by one or more specialized dentists working together to transform the smile of an individual to a dazzling beautiful harmonious smile, bursting with energy and radiating enthusiasm.

The advantage at Dr Joy dental clinic is that we are a multispeciality team comprising specialist dentists who are highly skilled in their area of speciality, We work together very efficiently on the patients smile producing the best result for the patient.

There is no single approach that fulfils the needs of every patient, Aesthetic dentistry may involve one or many of the following:

Porcelain Veneers

Are the most revolutionary advancement in aesthetic dentistry. They are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the outer surface of your teeth to transform misaligned ,crowded, broken, discoloured or mishapen teeth to dazzling pearly whites with perfect shape. It is a blend of art and science that enables a skilled practioner to achieve a sensational effect.

If you are unhappy with your smile porcelain veneers can make your dreams come true!

Crowns & Bridges

If your teeth are broken down considerably then veneers may not be the good option. Porcelain crowns offer greater strength and durability than veneers. With the latest advancements in ceramic technology we now offer our clients "Metal free" ceramic crowns which are much superior in aesthetics than the porcelain fused to metal crowns that was used earlier.

Missing teeth may also be replaced with these metal free (CERCON/ PROCERA) bridges that are so aesthetic that it is virtually impossible to distinguish them from your natural teeth.

Bleaching

Teeth whitening is described in a separate section.

Dental Bonding

Composite resins were the first most promising technique developed for "instant smile makeovers". However it is not as durable as porcelain veneers and tend to stain more so are not preferred in complex esthetic cases. But it is still suitable in many instances to correct broken or mishapen teeth or to close small gaps between teeth.

Periodontal (Gum) Sculpting

Our gums can affect our smiles. Showing more gums while smiling is unesthetic. Our periodontist uses modern periodontal "plastic surgery" techniques to improve gummy smiles, correct uneven gum lines and lengthen teeth that appear very small. The employment of these techniques can produce very pleasing aesthetic outcomes and many of our clients are stunned to see the outcome.

Some clients are bothered by their dark gums; these can be changed into bright pink using minor gum plastic surgery. The results however are not long term and can last for 2-3 years.

Orthodontics

There is no doubt that Orthodontics can improve your smile by correcting protruded, crooked teeth and closing gaps.
