Ottawa Cosmetic dentist

The primary objective of traditional dentistry is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral health issues, whereas Cosmetic Dentistry is concerned with the esthetic appearance of teeth. Cosmetic Dentistry deals with treatment that is considered to be elective, while general/family dental practices address problems in which treatment is necessary to prevent future health problems.

However, Cosmetic Dentistry can also provide Restorative services as well. For instance, in the case of Dental Fillings, a procedure used in restoring decayed teeth, Cosmetic Dentistry provides fillings using porcelain or composite materials that match the color of your teeth helping to maintain the natural appearance of your teeth and smile. Whereas, gold amalgam and other materials that were used in the past, left visible dark spots on the teeth and could potentially negatively impact the appearance of your smile. It is for this reason that many patients choose to have their older fillings replaced with newer materials which are designed to resemble tooth coloration to help to restore oral appearance. ottawa family dentist offers tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, wisdom teeth extraction, root canal treatment, teeth implants and dental emergency.
