Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain or composite. They are custom made to match your tooth colouration and are cemented over your teeth to correct issues like worn enamel or uneven alignment.
Bonding refers to a permanent attachment, such as a bridge, veneer, or crown. Dr. Malkinson will use tooth-colored composites to close gaps, fill cavities, or repair chips.
Whitening is used to correct enamel discolouration caused by stains. Stains can be on the surface of teeth (e.g. from soft drinks, tobacco, wear and tear) or the interior of teeth (e.g. from trauma or exposure to certain minerals).
Another popular option for adults is the Invisalign system. We create sets of clear trays or aligners that you wear for most of the day, taking it out when you eat or clean your teeth. Like braces, they gradually move the teeth to an optimal position over time, but they are practically invisible, and avoid the problems associated with traditional braces such as cleaning and having bits of food stuck in the brackets.
Artificial teeth roots help to stop or prevent jaw bone loss. Prosthetic teeth fill in gaps left by missing teeth. Tooth loss can come from decal, failed root canals, gum disease, oral trauma, wear & tear, or congenital defects. Dental Implants can replace missing teeth to help improve your appearance and assist with chewing and other functions.
