Cosmetic Dentistry

    Home Cosmetic Dentistry
    Cosmetic dentistry at Pure NZ Dental

    Your smile is the window to your soul. Nearly 3 out of 4 people surveyed in Singapore said they would be more likely to trust someone with a nice smile than someone with a good job, outfit or car. So it makes sense for you to want your smile to leave a lasting impression. Your smile is the most important asset and it will boost your self confidence.

    Can I do cosmetic dentistry?

    Well if you don’t like your smile, your crooked teeth, the annoying gap, or your yellow teeth then yes you definitely should talk to our dentist about your concerns. It is important to recognize that cosmetic dental treatments are not meant to alter your overall appearance, but rather to provide a positive change that compliments the health and natural appearance of your teeth.

    What types of cosmetic treatments are available to me?

    There are many types of cosmetic treatments available, from in-office teeth whitening to total smile makeovers. The types of treatments available to you will depend on your overall goals, but may include professional whitening, tooth-colored fillings, bonding, crowns and bridges, veneers, or dental implants.

    Why do I need a crown?

    Functional purpose: When a tooth is heavily filled, the remaining structure undergoes a lot of stress. This could result in the tooth cracking and in due time if the crack is not diagnosed, it could lead to fracture. At this point, the tooth may have to be extracted.
    The whole idea of crowning is to protect the “stressed” tooth from fracture. Crowning is also necessary for teeth that have been root canal treated. This is because a root filled tooth becomes weak and brittle.
    Aesthetic purpose: This is to change the appearance of your teeth as part of cosmetic dentistry. You may have some forms of discoloration, ,malformation of teeth and dental enamel defects which may require you to crown your teeth if you want to have a better smile.

    How long is the procedure to get a crown done?

    It is a 2 visit procedure. At the first visit, the tooth is prepared and an impression is taken for the laboratory to fabricate the final crown. A temporary crown will be fitted before you are discharged. This appointment normally takes an hour to two hours.
    At the second visit, the temporary crown is removed and the tooth is cleaned for the final cementation of the new crown. This step is usually quick and normally takes about 30 minutes.

    How long can I expect my crown to last?

    On average a crown could last about a few years or a decade. However, it could last even longer, spanning over decades. The crowned tooth is still a natural tooth so it could still have normal teeth problems like dental decay, root caries, and even gum disease. So, a crowned tooth must still be taken care of, and periodically checked to ensure that the cement is still intact, leaving no gaps for bacteria to enter under the crown causing damage to the underlying tooth structure.
