Discoloration

One of the most common dental complaints, discoloration of the teeth can be caused by smoking, diet, age, genetics, health problems or certain medications.

The following procedures are available to combat this problem:

Bleaching

Peroxide gel is applied using filling trays designed for your own bite and made to protect your gums.

The procedure is done under the care of a dental surgeon.

Power Whitening

The latest in teeth-whitening technology, power whitening uses laser-type light and a specialized gel product to clean and de-stain teeth. This gentle and highly effective treatment is totally safe and involves little to no discomfort to the patient. The procedure produces instant results which intensify over the following days, and it takes a mere hour at the dental surgeon. Apart from a slightly heightened sensitivity for a day or two following treatment, there are no side effects.

The Power Whitening procedure, while not altering the tooth structure, does remove surface stains while oxidizing the stains trapped within the tooth. The results do vary from one person to the next.

The results are long lasting (over a period of several years) and it is possible to maintain the effect with regular home-based treatments.

Missing or broken teeth can be replaced, resulting in greatly improved mastication functionality, comfort and general oral hygiene as well as improved self-image.

Crowns

A crown allows protection of the tooth from further damage, while simultaneously enhancing the aesthetic appearance.

Veneers can modify the tooth shape, size, color or position while preserving the basic structure of the tooth. Minimal preparation of the tooth is required.
