Cosmetic Dentistry at nib Dental Care Sydney explained
Restorative and cosmetic dentistry at nib Sydney offers a range of solutions to improve both the function and appearance of your smile. From repairing damaged teeth to enhancing aesthetics, understanding these common procedures can help you make an informed decision about your dental care journey.
Here is an overview on what is involved in each of the most popular cosmetic procedures at nib Sydney.
Dental Crowns at nib Dental Care Sydney
Crowns are caps that cover damaged or discolored teeth. They’re made from porcelain, ceramic, or metal and restore your tooth’s appearance and strength. You’ll need two visits: one to prepare your teeth and take molds, and another to fit the permanent crown. Modern dental crowns match your natural teeth perfectly.
Veneers at nib Dental Care Sydney
Veneers are thin shells that attach to your front teeth to fix stains, chips, gaps, or slight crookedness. They can transform your smile with little tooth preparation and last 10-15 years when properly maintained.
Dental Bridges at nib Dental Care Sydney
A bridge fills gaps from missing teeth using crowns on neighboring teeth with artificial teeth in between. This fixes your appearance, keeps your bite aligned, and stops other teeth from shifting.
Dental Implants at nib Dental Care Sydney
Implants are the best tooth replacement option. A titanium post is placed in your jawbone and acts like a tooth root. After 3-6 months of healing, a crown is added. Implants look and work like real teeth, preserve your jawbone, and can last a lifetime.
Teeth Whitening at nib Sydney Dental Care
Professional whitening is popular and affordable. It uses stronger bleaching than store products and can lighten teeth several shades in one visit. You can choose in-office treatment for immediate results or take-home trays. Results last 1-3 years.
Choosing the right treatment
The best cosmetic dental treatment depends on your personal needs and goals, budget, and desired timeline to achieve a successful result. Many people combine multiple treatments for comprehensive smile makeovers.
It’s important to remember that not all cosmetic treatments are suitable for everyone and depend on many underlying features such as surrounding teeth, bone, and gum health and your desired end goal.
