Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry involves crafting a naturally healthy smile that seamlessly integrates with existing structures. Our expertise lies in skillfully matching colors and blending new restorations with the patient's smile and facial features.
Whitening
Teeth whitening is a fantastic way to elevate your natural smile.
In-Chair Whitening
Petersham Smiles provides Zoom Teeth Whitening for a quicker option. Philips Zoom, a professional teeth whitening treatment, is both safe and effective, trusted by millions globally.
Take-Home Whitening Trays
Home kits require wearing a mouth guard with whitening gel for as little as 15 minutes. Although they whiten teeth more gradually, they often cause less sensitivity with enduring results. Contact us to find the most suitable option for your needs.
Cosmetics
Cosmetic dentistry strives to improve the shape, color, size, or position of your natural existing teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers involve placing a super-thin ceramic shell on the front surface of polished tooth enamel. Benefits include an authentic appearance similar to real enamel, enhanced strength, durability, and stain resistance compared to composite, thanks to its harder material property.
Composite Edge Bonding
Similar to composite veneers, composite edge bonding covers less tooth surface. It's ideal for evening out uneven or jagged tooth edges caused by natural wear, night grinding, or stress clenching.
Composite Veneers
Composite is a resin-plastic material shaped and bonded directly onto the tooth for the desired outcome. Benefits include amazing results at a lower cost than porcelain veneers, one-visit application sculpted on the same day, and easy and cost-effective repairs if needed.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics serves various purposes in enhancing a smile, and often, veneers cannot entirely substitute the necessity for orthodontic treatment.
Clear Aligners
Invisalign, a state-of-the-art orthodontic solution, involves custom-made, nearly invisible plastic aligners worn over teeth for gradual repositioning. This highly aesthetic option requires commitment, with the clear aligners to be worn for 22 hours daily. Consistency in this discipline is crucial for effective results in achieving the desired ideal alignment.
Braces
Braces are a treatment to reposition teeth in the mouth, involving brackets on each tooth connected by a wire to enhance their position over time. Technological advancements have transformed braces, and at Petersham Smiles, we provide white ceramic upper brackets for patients seeking a more aesthetic and discreet option.
Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can lead to daily discomfort.
Consider treatment if experiencing:
Lack of confidence in smiling.
Difficulty eating comfortably or evenly.
Discomfort due to an irregular bite.
Jaw pain.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a viable choice for replacing a missing tooth, featuring a synthetic structure typically crafted with a titanium core and topped with a ceramic coating that seamlessly matches the natural color of your teeth.
These implants are versatile, capable of replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or providing support for partial or full dentures. Notably, implants and crowns are securely situated within the mouth, eliminating the need for adhesives to hold them in place.
Dental Bridges
We present a dental bridge as an alternative to replace a missing tooth, utilizing the support of adjacent teeth to secure the bridge in place.
Crafting a bridge is a swift procedure, enabling the provision of a temporary tooth on the same day as preparation. A permanent tooth, seamlessly matching your smile, is delivered within a few weeks.
