Whitening Methods

For many years, dental companies have been perfecting the art of professional teeth whitening, creating professional-grade products that whiten teeth dramatically – sometimes anywhere from four to eight. At Vista Dental, each one of our doctors is proud to offer professional tooth whitening using a specialized bleaching gel and custom-made trays to reveal radiant results.

When you whiten your teeth, you wish to make a noticeable difference in your smile’s appearance. Over-the-counter gels and strips can whiten teeth between one to two shades. Professional teeth whitening at our office can whiten teeth anywhere from four to eight shades. This means that even the least noticeable result with professional whitening is twice as effective as over-the-counter kits. If you desire a brighter smile, schedule a consultation to discuss your whitening options.

Lumineers For A Smile Makeover

At Vista Dental we are always being asked by patients about the latest cosmetic solutions available.  There are several methods for whitening or straightening teeth, but lumineers are the best way to give your smile a complete cosmetic makeover without undergoing a procedure.

Lumineers are thin shells made of high quality porcelain that bond directly to the surface of your teeth and look like your natural smile.  To outfit a patient with a full set of lumineers, we begin with taking an impression.  This impression will be used to ensure a perfect fit for your new smile.  Some patients won’t require preparation of the teeth, but depending on your individual case your dentist may want to contour or shave teeth in select places.  This is only done when your dentist sees an area they determine could be a problem to fit the shells on.   A new set of lumineers is fabricated outside the office, and on a final visit they are bonded directly to the surface of your teeth to wear forever!

If you’re ready to makeover your smile or have questions about lumineers, please give us a call!  To learn about all the services we provide at our practice, visit VistaDentalMH.Ca for more information.

Dental Bridges

The goal of dental bridges is to literally fill the gap or gaps between missing teeth. Dental bridges have the ability to restore a smile, restore the ability to speak and chew, as well as help, maintain a person’s shape of the face. Missing teeth can cause facial skin to sag, making you appear older than you are. Our doctors at Vista Dental can offer dental bridges to restore your smile and your confidence.

There are various types of bridges, but a traditional bridge is made by creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the space and placing a false tooth or teeth between the crowns. The crowns, sometimes called caps, can be supported by natural teeth, but only if the surround teeth and gums are healthy.

If you have questions or concerns about dental bridges, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at the practice, visit www.vistadentalmh.ca for more information.

Veneers

Veneers are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetics of a smile as well as restore its appearance if there are chips, stains, or cracks in the teeth. Veneers can also be used to close gaps or correct small misalignments in the teeth. Here at Vista Dental, one of our doctors can provide you with veneers to help put the confidence back in your smile.

Dental veneers can be made of porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement. Once you and the doctor decide that veneers are right for you, the process should take one to two appointments. Local anesthesia is usually not required, but if the procedure makes you apprehensive, we can discuss sedation options.

If you have questions or concerns about veneers, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at the practice, visit www.vistadentalmh.ca for more information.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dentistry that focuses on smile enhancement. From subtle changes to major repairs, our doctors at Vista Dental can fix your smile imperfections with cosmetic dental services. Although cosmetic procedures are usually elective, rather than necessary, depending on the patient case they can provide restorative benefits. Allow us to explain a few of the cosmetic procedures we provide at our practice.

• Dental bonding – bonding is a tooth-colored material that is used to fill gaps or change the color of teeth. When teeth are chipped and slightly decayed, bonding can assist in fixing these issues. It can also be used as a filling for cavities.


• Veneers – Veneers are thin pieces of plastic porcelain that change the color or shape of your teeth. Veneers look exceptionally realistic and fix crooked or cracked teeth.


• Teeth whitening – The most popular of cosmetic procedures, teeth whitening or bleaching can make your teeth appear at least 3 shades whiter. We can provide you with take-home trays so that you can whiten in the comfort of your own home, or we can whiten your teeth right here in the office.

Our doctors can answer any questions about the following procedures. If you wish to schedule a consultation to discuss what is best for you, we are happy to assist you in this decision.
