Today, aesthetic dentistry is as common as tooth extractions. While the majority of patients undergo aesthetic dental treatments with the goal of improving the appearance of their teeth, some require the treatment for health-related reasons including proper teeth alignment and minimising risks of infection.
As a reputable aesthetic dental clinic in Singapore, we at Dentist@Orchard understands that having a healthy smile plays an important role in our overall health. Unfortunately, not everyone considers their teeth when they think about their wellness. While it’s easier to be aware of the changes in our weight, blood pressure, and stamina, many are oblivious to the erosion that may be happening to their tooth enamel - and it will not be until they experience sensitivity or noticing yellowing in the teeth that they figure out there may actually be something wrong.
With that in mind, we made it our commitment to encourage you to have your teeth and gums examined to guarantee that they remain healthy as you age.
We offer a wide range of aesthetic dental procedures that are intended to not only offer cosmetic benefits but advantages that go beyond improved appearance. In this article, we give you an overview about the aesthetic dental services we offer.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the most basic cosmetic dentistry procedures offered in Singapore. We initiate whitening procedures after plaque, tartar, and other debris are cleaned from your teeth, restoring their healthy and natural appearance. While the procedure doesn’t directly offer a health benefit, since tooth discolouration poses no risk, the cleaning that is done prior can go a long way in protecting your teeth from decaying.
Porcelain Veneers
Our dental veneers are made from medical-grade porcelain that is customised for each patient to resemble their natural teeth. Porcelain veneers not only look realistic but can also resolve several cosmetic issues such as crooked, cracked, damaged or stained teeth. Veneers are applied to the front of each tooth using a specific adhesive.
Implants
Dental implants are the solution to tooth loss. The procedure is done by inserting a titanium screw into the jaw where a tooth has been to offer support for a crown. Once installed, one will not be able to distinguish an implant from the surrounding natural teeth. Health-wise, this dental solution helps prevent the loss of bone density.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is an ideal solution to decayed, damaged and/or decayed teeth. It uses material that resembles the colour of the enamel. It works by drilling out the tooth decay and applying the composite onto the tooth’s surface. The composite is then sculpted before it’s cured with a high-intensity light.
Aesthetic dentistry offers solutions that resolve several dental issues while restoring - if not protecting - the natural, healthy appearance of your teeth. Visit Dentist@Orchard today to learn how our services can improve the health and look of your smile!
