Cosmetic dentistry your way in Brampton, ON

Your smile is one of a kind. So is your schedule, lifestyle, and budget. At Brampton Dental Arts, smile makeovers are personalized. Yours may involve one or a combination of the following:

  • Teeth whitening – With Zoom! teeth bleaching, your smile can be noticeably brighter in about an hour. Relax in the chair while we apply the whitening agent and active it with a light source. With gum protection and professional application, whitening produces little or no sensitivity.
  • Porcelain veneers – Veneers are made of lustrous dental ceramic, which is laminated to anterior teeth. Veneers look natural but hide cosmetic teeth issues such as deep tooth stains, teeth gaps, crooked teeth, cracked teeth, enamel imperfections, and odd shape or size. Veneers usually require only two appointments for dramatic results.
  • Teeth bonding – Composite resin bonding is a pliable, tooth colored dental plastic, which is shaped, adhered to a tooth, and light-hardened.  Chipped teeth and broken teeth are good candidates for bonding. Silver-colored fillings can also be replaced with composite. When used for dental cosmetics, bonding generally requires no numbing and 15 minutes or less per tooth.
  • Crowns – A crown improves the look of a tooth, while retaining most of its natural structure.
  • Gum surgery – Soft tissue grafting restores the appearance of receding gums and reduces sensitivity and risk of decay caused by exposed root structure. A bit of your own tissue from a donor site or an allograft material (a manufactured human tissue derivative) is placed using Dr. Sheikh’s own “tunnel technique.” It is held in place with sutures or adhesive, and typically heals quickly.
  • Crown lengthening – Another method of soft tissue contouring that improves a “gummy smile.”
  • Tooth replacement – With bridges, partial dentures, dentures, and dental implants, there is no reason to live with a gap.

Why is cosmetic dentistry important?
When you are brushing your teeth, doing your hair, you look in the mirror, you look at your smile and you are not happy with that, and that is where cosmetic dentistry comes into play.

So whether you are not showing enough tooth or the teeth are not white enough, crooked or rotated, you had braces and you forgot to wear your retainers, now what happens is patients come to see us and they are not happy with their smiles.

Especially patients who are going for job interviews it really kind of sets them apart if you don’t have a nice smile that leads to not having confidence and that is something that you definitely want to exude especially in the workplace.

What does cosmetic dentistry do?
What cosmetic dentistry really allows us to do is to be able to change the profile, the smile, and the color of the teeth.

Whether it is through regular whitening which can whiten and brighten the teeth all the way up to using veneers which are these laminates almost like fingernails that go over the teeth, or crowns which wrap around the entire tooth to be able to change the shape, the size and the position of the teeth.

What is the process?
We take digital pictures of the patients; we take molds of the mouth so that we can pour up these models of your teeth. Then we send those to a lab, and the lab waxes up what myself and they would think would be something you would want. And the second visit when you return, we have this wax-up.

It is almost like a before your teeth looked like and then an after and many patients are just blown away. And what’s great about that is in about 2-3 hours setting we give you that result so that you can try it at home.

What are the benefits that you can expect?
Of course, the benefits are very quick and an instant fix. Generally, within 2-3 weeks that smile can be completely changed. As opposed to something like braces that could cost the same or more and take several years.

So we do a lot of that and that is one of the reasons why we are called the Brampton Dental Arts, as we take pride in changing and improving patient’s smiles and giving them more confidence at end of the day.
