Cosmetic dentistry aims to help patients feel more comfortable and confident because they have the smile of their dreams. The first thing most people seek and admire is another person’s smile. Because of advancement in modern cosmetic dentistry, dentists are capable in enhancing a patient’s teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments. Dentists at Bayside Dental are professional and have excellent training and knowledge to transform the appearance of your smile.

Dental Implants
Dental implants require surgical procedure wherein the implant is positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This procedure allows your dentist to mount the replacement tooth where the missing tooth once was and left to heal for a set period of time. While it heals, the bone fuses to the implant, and the tooth-like crown is attached. The dental implant consists of a small, screw-shaped, titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Impants are enclosed by porcelain crowns that resemble and seem to look just like your old tooth.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth can often be whitened by the several new techniques of “bleaching” available today. One of the common methods used is the “in-office” method where a strong bleaching agent is placed over the isolated teeth and a special light is used to activate the bleaching material that will lighten the teeth. This method is generally more controlled and probably better for people who have tetracycline stains or streaks on their teeth. The “home” techniques involve making custom trays which fit into the mouth and these are then filled with bleaching materials. When worn for a few hours a day, noticeable results are seen generally within a few days to a couple weeks. Results vary from individual to individual and it is probably best to check with your dentist to help decide which method works best for you. Some of the factors involved include the intensity of the stains, whether or not you have fillings or crowns on your front teeth as well as what may have caused the stains.

Dentures
If you have lost your teeth and are noticing that your dentures are loose, dingy yellow, or don’t support your face, then you may be a candidate for a cosmetic denture. Dentures should be examined every year for fit and chewing efficiency. Because Dr. Yip-Young has fit numerous dentures for general and cosmetic dentistry patients, you will be impressed with how they look and how comfortably they fit.

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is very suitable when restoring a tooth or a set of teeth that are no longer have been weakend by damage. Porcelain can be appliead to replicate the look of natural tooth enamel, and using this durable material gives your bridge a strong base to rely upon. Dental porcelain is notable in its ability to replicate both the form and function of original teeth. Even if you’re considering veneers, dental crowns, or a fixed bridge, the worth of porcelain can provide the longevity, durability, and aesthetic you desire.
