Treatments and Procedures
Cosmetic Dentistry
1. In-clinic whitening:
Teeth whitening is also known as teeth bleaching. This is a procedure where the dentist applies special materials on the teeth that penetrate the outer layers removing any organic stains on the teeth. The procedure usually takes an hour.
2. Home teeth whitening:
Home teeth whitening is great for clients who are not seeking an instant white bright smile and want to control your teeth shade of white at home makes it simple to adapt your teeth whitening kit to your specific needs and preference. The doctor will guide you on how to apply the product in the custom molded tray with the timeline you need to apply. What’s nice is that you can touch up more frequently to remove coffee stains when needed.
Hollywood smile is created by veneers that are thin ceramic layers put over the teeth to improve the appearance of the teeth.
If you have a discoloured teeth, small teeth, or spacing between your teeth, veneers are definitely the solution for your smile.
Veneers are also a way to have whiter teeth for the longest period possible apart from doing bleaching.
At Enhance we have different designs and colours of veneers from which you can choose your beautiful healthy smile.
Laser veneer removal can offer a seamless and pleasant experience for the patient using top notch technology with reduced time to remove veneers without damaging the tooth.
Functional Dentistry
After primary teeth examination, the doctor looks for any minor fractures or carries that need fillings.
Fillings can be used to restore your smile, protect your tooth from decay, strengthen a fractured tooth and maintain overall structure while keeping the tooth’s natural shape and colour.
Dental implants are the most advanced way of replacing missing teeth, and are a way to preserve your teeth and provide you with a long lasting solution to missing teeth.
Dental implants are composed of stain-resistant materials and are paired with natural-looking crowns for a more youthful look enhancing your eating and speech abilities.
A crown is a protective layer over a heavily restored tooth which protects the tooth from the heavy pressure produced by mastication forces.
If you have done a root canal treatment a crown would be the best solution for you afterwards.
Crowns come in different shapes and shades according to your tooth needs.
Bridges are a way to restore missing teeth by using two crowns as a bridge to fill up the empty space of your dentition.
Our highly qualified dentists will provide you with the most suitable treatment required for you.
Crown lengthening is a procedure that is used to reshape both the gum tissue and bone around your teeth for healthier tooth structure.
Invisalign (aligners) are widely used and very popular because they are clear/transparent and can be removed at any time. Invisalign is used to straighten the teeth gently and easily without the need for metal wires that will usually hide your smile. Now you have the option to enjoy and show off your natural smile while in the process of reshaping and aligning your teeth.
Metal braces are the most common orthodontic treatment often referred to as train tracks, have come a long way and are now a lot more visually appealing and comfortable than ever before with options of ceramic (transparent) that matches your teeth colour.
Fun fact is that metal braces can be jazzed up with different colored bands with each appointment.
This refers to how your upper and lower rows of teeth contact each other, which usually affect your chewing and biting if they are not sitting correctly, in this case the teeth are grinded to achieve balance and proper alignment to lessen the pressure to avoid week and contaminated teeth.
Nothing compares to having a good and heathy set of teeth. However, an infection may occur for a variety of reasons and a root can save the day without the need to lose your damaged tooth with removing the nerves and pulp and cleaning the infected area.
1. Gummy smile:
Some people have poorly shaped gums which may be because of genetics or poor hygiene. Gum discolouration can also occur. Lasers are used to reshape gum tissue associated with “Gummy smile”, in which the gum’s length covers much of the tooth. Using this technique for gum procedures reduces bleeding, swelling and pain after the treatment and the need for pain medication.
2. Gum discolouration:
Our gums can lose their natural colour due to many reasons such as the body’s natural melanin creation, smoking or taking certain medication. Gum bleaching is a simple and quick procedure to bring back the natural shade of the gum or we call a ‘rosy gum’ which is also used to tint the lips to give them a healthy natural look that reflects in a bright confident smile.
Dental FAQ’s
Maintaining an A+ oral hygiene routine after you undergo any gum/dental treatment is also critical to avoiding a recurrence of any infection.
Our dental professional will instruct you on how best to care for the site of your laser therapy treatment, as well as your entire mouth.
Teeth whitening is safe under the doctor’s supervision and frequency can be determined by the doctor.
At Enhance, we are committed to providing treatments that preserve as much of your natural tooth and gum tissue as possible when working on your smile makeover. With the help of laser dentistry, this aim is made easier than ever.
Laser dentistry uses lasers with different wavelengths and medical grades. It is a dental technique, which effectively targets both hard and soft tissues to ensure proper oral health care. For example, it can work on your hypersensitivity by sealing the tooth root or to remove veneers without any damage.
