A couple smiling outdoorsYour smile is one of the most noticeable things about you. Since you only get one chance to make a positive first impression, having an attractive, confident smile is a real asset.

Beautiful Cosmetic Dentistry in Maple Ridge, BC

At Meadow Ridge Dental Centre, our experienced cosmetic dentists love helping our patients discover their most attractive, confident smiles. We offer a wide selection of cosmetic dental treatments and will work with your needs to find those that help you reach your smile goals.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

All dental treatments we provide are meant to leave your teeth in a healthier, more attractive state. Tooth-coloured fillings are an excellent example because they stop tooth decay in its tracks, and the result is a repair that’s impossible to detect!

Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or ceramic that our cosmetic dentists customize to fit over one or more teeth and conceal problems like broken, cracked, or discoloured teeth. We can even use veneers to hide slightly crooked teeth to give your smile a straight, even appearance. 

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Crooked, crowded, or unevenly spaced teeth detract from your smile and can make you feel self-conscious around others. Misaligned teeth can also lead to cavities and gum disease as they can be difficult to brush and floss thoroughly.

Invisalign clear braces are a discreet way for adults to straighten their teeth without wearing metal braces. Our dentists will customize a treatment plan for your specific needs, and the comfortable, clear aligners will guide your teeth into the correct position.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

We may also recommend tooth bonding as a more affordable and less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers.

Professional Teeth Whitening

If you have stained or yellow teeth and would like an affordable way to transform your smile’s appearance, professional teeth whitening can help you. We provide customized take-home whitening kits that contain everything you need to brighten your teeth dramatically in about two weeks.

Zirconia Dental Crowns

Our zirconia dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that cover an entire tooth down to the gumline. We commonly use crowns to restore broken or decayed teeth and customize them to hide a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth. 

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Personalised cosmetic dentistry in Maple Ridge, BC, goes beyond simply improving the appearance of one's smile. It can also improve oral function, correct imperfections and boost one's confidence! Here are some ways cosmetic treatments at our dental clinic can bolster your well-being.

Boosts Self-Confidence

A beautiful smile can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself. With treatments like teeth whitening, veneers or dental bonding, cosmetic dentistry can help you smile more freely and feel more self-assured in social or professional settings.

Improves Oral Health

Many cosmetic procedures, like dental bonding or Invisalign, correct alignment issues or repair damaged teeth. Treatments such as these can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent future dental problems like cavities and gum disease.

Enhances Functionality

Cosmetic dental treatments can also improve your bite alignment, making it easier to speak clearly and chew without discomfort or worry. Ultimately, a properly aligned bite can enhance functionality and reduce strain on your jaw joints, teeth and gums.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you don’t like what you see when you smile, you might consider cosmetic dentistry to improve your smile’s appearance. Cosmetic dentistry has become increasingly popular with patients of all ages, but how long does it take to recover after cosmetic dental procedures? Keep reading to learn more.

Recovering from Cosmetic Dentistry

If you’re wondering how long it takes to recover from a cosmetic dental procedure, there isn’t one definitive answer. It really depends on a variety of factors, including:

The type of treatment – Many cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening and dental bonding, don’t require any recovery time. However, dental crowns and veneers may require a short recovery time because of discomfort or sensitivity. Dental implants, on the other hand, may require months of recovery and healing.

Your ability to heal – Everyone’s ability to heal is different, so your recovery time will vary depending on whether your body heals quickly.

Your Maple Ridge dental team can discuss your recovery time with you as part of your treatment plan.

Cosmetic dentistry treatments include things like porcelain veneers, clear aligners, cosmetic dental bonding, professional teeth whitening, tooth-coloured fillings, and zirconia dental crowns. Essentially, these are treatments that change the look of your teeth for cosmetic purposes. Cosmetic dentistry often overlaps with functional dentistry, and many treatments achieve both cosmetic and functional goals.

Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

Let’s get into more detail about each of these cosmetic procedures. Porcelain veneers are very thin shells that a dentist bonds to the front of the teeth to conceal cosmetic issues, such as cracked or discoloured teeth. 

Clear aligners can fix crowded, crooked, or unevenly spaced teeth. Misaligned teeth can be more difficult to brush and floss, which can lead to cavities. This is an example of a cosmetic procedure that is also about restoring function.

Cosmetic dental bonding involves a dentist using composite resin to fix chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, or to alter a tooth’s shape. Professional teeth whitening is about transforming stained or yellow teeth with either in-office whitening or customized, take-home whitening kits. Tooth-coloured fillings are obviously functional, but also offer a cavity treatment solution that’s difficult to detect. 

Finally, zirconia dental crowns are basically tooth covers that a dentist places over the entire tooth. These work well for restoring function and aesthetics to broken or decayed teeth. 

We Offer Beautiful Cosmetic Dentistry in Maple Ridge, BC

There is nothing that gives our dental team more pleasure than seeing the delighted smile of a patient whose teeth have been transformed with cosmetic dentistry. We can recommend one procedure like teeth whitening that brightens and refreshes your smile or create a complete smile makeover that combines several of the treatments listed above.
