Technological advancements in the dental industry
In the last few years, cosmetic dentistry has experienced exciting and remarkable advancements, revolutionizing the way we can enhance and improve your smile. As technology progresses, local dental professionals like us at Tea Tree Dental now have access to a range of cutting-edge equipment, new materials and techniques that push the boundaries of what is possible in cosmetic dentistry. For example, with the aid of our CEREC dental milling machine, in most cases you can have your unique and permanent crown fitted the same day. Same day crowns were unheard of only a few short years ago.
Cosmetic dentistry & procedures
Teeth whitening
This is one of Tea Tree Dental’s most popular cosmetic dental procedures. As we age, our teeth can become stained and discoloured due to contributing factors like consuming certain foods and beverages, smoking, or poor oral hygiene. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can effectively remove stains and make your teeth several shades lighter which results in a noticeably brighter smile. Although more expensive than over-the-counter products, professional teeth whitening treatments have been proven to be more effective and longer lasting.
Clear braces
Also known as invisible aligners, clear braces have gained immense popularity in recent years. This alternative to traditional uncomfortable metal braces relies on nearly invisible aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position. Not only are clear braces aesthetically pleasing, which allows the patient to be less self-conscious, but they also provide convenience since the aligners can be easily removed for eating and maintaining oral hygiene.
Dental implants
Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution to missing teeth by replacing one or more missing teeth with artificial tooth roots and crowns. Usually made of titanium, these posts are surgically attached to the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for the prosthetic teeth. Once the implants integrate with the bone, custom-made dental crowns are attached, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth. Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, restoring chewing ability, speech, and overall dental aesthetics.
