Explore Your Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Maybe your teeth have been crooked since you can remember. Or perhaps your pearly whites aren’t so white anymore because of the heavily pigmented foods and drinks you love. You may even be concerned about a small flaw like a chip. It doesn’t matter how small that chip may be, you might be convinced that everyone notices it when you smile.

Stop hiding your chompers behind closed lips when it’s time for a selfie or group picture. Our team will listen to your concerns and help you determine cosmetic treatments to address them. We want to help you feel less self-conscious about your teeth, no matter the issue. To get a sense of what cosmetic dentistry can accomplish, check out some basic information on our services below.

Dental veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material that are placed on the front surface of your teeth, completely covering the portion of your teeth that is visible while smiling. They are a highly versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment that can be used to conceal:

We offer dental veneers made from porcelain or from e.max. Both will result in a noticeably improved smile following placement. Each material has its respective benefits. For example, e.max dental veneers are thinner, so they require less preparation of your tooth surface. We will discuss your options with you to help you make your decision.

If dental veneers are not right for you because the tooth preparation process is irreversible or for some other reason, we may be able to address many of the same smile flaws listed above with a tooth bonding treatment. This process uses a tooth-colored material to cover up and smooth over imperfections.

For those that would like to get a whiter smile, we also offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. You can walk in for an appointment and walk out with whiter teeth or brighten your smile at your convenience. According to the Canadian Dental Association, professional teeth whitening treatments are completely safe under the guidance of a trained dentist.

If you have crooked teeth, we can improve their alignment with a variety of orthodontics options. Because many patients don’t want to put up with the appearance of metal braces, we offer a few different clear aligner systems, including:

Depending on how misaligned your teeth are, any of the clear aligner options listed above could be used as a short-term orthodontic option to cosmetically improve misaligned teeth.

If clear aligners are not a good fit for your needs, we also offer traditional metal braces that use either stainless-steel wires or a titanium-nickel blend called nitinol. Both options use a gentle pressure to gradually straighten your teeth, including the tooth roots.

We can also combine the treatments mentioned above to come up with a personalized smile makeover treatment for you. For instance, many patients that get metal braces want to improve the color of their teeth with a whitening procedure following the orthodontic treatment. So you’ll know what to expect, we will provide a mock-up. You can “test run” your smile by placing this mock-up right over your natural teeth.

Four Reasons To Get A Dental Crown

Dental crowns are tooth-colored shells that completely cap the visible portion of a tooth. This helps to strengthen and protect the tooth from damage, while also improving the appearance of the tooth. There are several situations where we may recommend a dental crown.

If you have a broken tooth due to an accident or some form of trauma, we can provide a dental crown to restore your tooth to a healthy condition. This should:

In the case of tooth decay penetrating the enamel of a tooth and infecting the nerves and soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth, we will most likely recommend a root canal to remove the infection. In many cases following a root canal, we will then provide a dental crown to protect your tooth.

We can also use dental crowns to repair a tooth worn-down from large tooth fillings. Much like a broken tooth or a post-root canal dental crown, the goal here is to strengthen the tooth and restore the healthy and beautiful shape of the tooth.

While typically used for restorative purposes, dental crowns can also be recommended for cosmetic repairs. Here are a handful of flaws that dental crowns can conceal:

For those that need a damaged or missing tooth completely replaced, we can also restore a dental implant with a dental crown. We work with a specialist who will place your dental implant using 3-D imaging technology.

So you can make an informed decision when it comes to repairing or improving your smile, we will do what any good dentist would do and discuss your situation with you and answer any questions you have.

We offer dental crowns made of either zirconia or e.max. Regardless of which option you choose, we will design your dental crown to be strong and replicate the look of the tooth we are treating.

No matter why you get a dental crown at our Winnipeg, MB office, we will explain how to care for it following your procedure. With proper oral hygiene, your dental crown can last for many years.

Dental implants can be important in restoring your smile.

Implants were developed as replacements for the roots of missing teeth. An implant with a dental crown can be used to replace a single tooth. Dental implants also can be used to support a dental bridge to replace multiple teeth or a set of dentures to replace a row of teeth.

Our dentists could help you get implants as part of our restorative dentistry at Lakewood Dental Centre. If you want to know if you are a good candidate for implants, you can schedule a consultation at our office in Winnipeg, MB. To contact us, call 204-977-8515 or fill out our online form.

Dental veneers can be an effective way to change the appearance of your smile.

Veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are used to conceal flaws that you may want to hide, and they can give you the kind of smile that you would like to see when you look in the mirror.

If you have slightly crooked teeth or small chips in your teeth, then veneers may be able to help. Likewise, veneers can hide discolored teeth and close small gaps in your smile.

If you would like to know more about dental veneers, we welcome you to visit us at Lakewood Dental Centre in Winnipeg, MB. You can contact us online or call 204-977-8515.

There are multiple reasons to consider orthodontic care.

You may have crooked teeth or crowded teeth. You may have an overbite, underbite, or another bite alignment issue. You may have a gap or gaps between your teeth that you would like to close.

Having straight teeth can make it easier to remove bacteria and plaque when you brush and floss, but most people would also agree that straight teeth improve the appearance of your smile.

We offer orthodontic care at Lakewood Dental Centre as one of our cosmetic services. We want you to have a healthy mouth, and we want you to be happy with your smile, too.

Who Is A Candidate For Orthodontics?

While it is common for teenagers for to receive orthodontic care, adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment as well. In fact, the Canadian Dental Association has noted that more and more adults are receiving orthodontic care for the sake of improving their smiles and their oral health.

As we mentioned earlier, orthodontic treatments can be used to help with a variety of issues.

How your teeth are aligned with one another can affect how you bite and chew food. Alignment issues also can cause wear and tear on your teeth, and bite issues can lead to pain or tension in the muscles around your mouth in some cases.

The time needed to complete your treatment will depend on a variety of factors. This includes the type of treatment you choose, the severity of your alignment issues, and other factors.

Orthodontic Options

At Lakewood Dental Centre, we offer both braces and short-term orthodontic treatments.

Let’s look at some of your options.

◼ Braces — This may the first thing that comes to mind when you think of orthodontic care.

When a patient receives braces, brackets are attached to his or her teeth. Then an archwire is attached to the brackets.

Together, the wire and brackets apply pressure to the teeth. This encourages the movement needed to realign your teeth and change your smile.

Braces can work on a wide range of issues, which is part of the reason they remain such a popular orthodontic option.

◼ Invisalign — Invisalign takes a different approach to orthodontic treatment. Instead of applying pressure to your teeth with brackets and wires, Invisalign uses what are called aligners to push your teeth where you want them to be.

These aligners are made of a clear plastic, which makes them more discreet than braces when worn over your teeth.

Please be aware that Invisalign may not be as effective on every alignment problem as braces. An in-person evaluation will give us a better idea if this treatment is a good option for you.

◼ Smart Moves and K-Line clear aligners — These two options are also based on the use of clear aligners. If you are a good candidate for these, we can discuss the differences between them and Invisalign so you can make the right decision about which one you would like to use.
