You may have spent a few extra minutes in front of the mirror and noticed that your smile could use some work. Cosmetic dentistry in Toronto is exactly what you need to get your smile back to how it used to be. What exactly is cosmetic dentistry? Cosmetic dentistry, which is also called “aesthetic dentistry,” is a group of medical services and improvements that make your teeth and smile look better. Your dentist will make sure that your teeth are healthy before they do any work on them. With cosmetic dentistry, you can fix worn, broken, crooked, misshapen, discolored, or stained teeth. Also, you can close the gaps between your teeth with cosmetic dentistry.

What Procedures Does Cosmetic Dentistry Include?
Enamel Shaping
It is a painless and fast process that shapes your natural teeth and improves their appearance. Suppose you need cosmetic dentistry for crowded teeth that can fix your uneven and slightly overcrowded teeth; it’s the option you desire. This treatment often is combined with Veneers, Whitening or Bonding.
Composite Bonding
It is a simple cosmetic technique that can restore teeth that are broken, decaying, or chipped. The cosmetic dentist drills out the decayed part of the tooth and then covers it with composite. This option, which is also called “Dental Bonding,” can also be used to replace silver amalgam fillings with composites that match the colour of your teeth. Unfortunately, they don’t last as long as silver fillings do.
Cosmetic Dentistry Veneers
Dental Veneers are thin, custom=made and high-quality ceramic shells covering the front surface (and in some cases, the behind teeth surface when using Palatal Veneers) of your teeth. There are different types of them like porcelain, composite Lumineers, removable and palatal Veneers, that bond to the tooth and fix problems such as discolouration, misshapen, missized and gaps between the teeth.
Inlays & Onlays
These procedures are called Indirect Fillings, Used when teeth have moderate decay. They are also used when a low tooth structure supports a filling. Inlays will place onto the teeth’ surface, and Onlays are used when the tooth becomes more damaged. They are made of composite resin and will attach to your teeth with dental cement.
Cosmetic Dentistry & Dental Implants
This treatment is used for tooth loss, a piece of titanium the dentist inserts and fixes into your jaw. Then it will support a permanent or removable artificial tooth called the crown.
Smile Makeover
This treatment combines some cosmetic dental treatments to achieve a beautiful smile.
Teeth Whitening
It is a well-known service that makes your stained and dark teeth look whiter. There are two kinds: at-home whitening, which uses whitening toothpaste, over-the-counter kits like trays, strips, and gels, and natural treatments; and in-office whitening, which is done by the dentist in our Summerhill dental clinic.
Dentures
There are two varieties: Partial Dentures, which are used while some of your natural teeth are still present, and Complete Dentures, which are for when all of your teeth are lost.
Dental Bridges
Also known as fixed or permanent partial dentures. This option is used when you are missing one or more teeth. A bridge is a fake tooth in the middle of two crowns that go over the teeth on either side of the gap.
Cosmetic Dentistry & Teeth Whitening
It is a popular cosmetic service that whitens your stained and dark teeth. There are two types of them: In-Office Whitening, which will perform by the dentist at the office, and At-Home Whitening, which include Whitening Toothpastes, Over-The-counter Kits like Trays, Strips and Gels, and Natural Remedies.
Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics
It’s the name of services that align your crooked or misaligned teeth. There are two types of them, Braces which have three types:
Brackets that will attach to the front
surface of your teeth
Metal bands to wrap around the teeth
And Invisalign, which are invisible braces made of clear plastic moulds to straighten the teeth, or brackets that will attach to the back side of your teeth (Lingual Braces).
Gum Reshaping
This service is used if the space between your teeth and gums is uneven or if your teeth appear overly short. Your smile will appear wide, full, and natural if you make this decision.

FAQ
1. How natural will my smile look after the treatment?
A natural-looking result is our top priority. As a leading clinic for cosmetic dentistry in Toronto, we meticulously match the color, translucency, and even the surface texture of your new teeth to your unique facial features and skin tone. Our goal isn’t to create a fake or artificial-looking smile. Instead, we aim to give you your beautiful smile, just perfected and enhanced.
2. Do I need orthodontics before getting veneers?
Not always. For minor misalignments, we can often correct the issue with veneers or composite bonding alone. However, for more complex cases with significant misalignment, we often recommend a short course of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners first. This approach not only promotes better dental health and symmetry but also dramatically increases the durability and longevity of your veneers.
3. Will teeth whitening (bleaching) make my teeth sensitive?
It’s possible for some individuals to experience temporary sensitivity after a whitening treatment. This is a normal reaction and not a cause for concern. To manage and minimize this, we use desensitizing agents, carefully adjust the application time of the whitening gel, and select products that are fully compatible with your enamel and will not cause damage. Our approach to cosmetic dentistry in Toronto is always centered on preserving the complete health of your teeth.
4. How do I choose between composite bonding and porcelain veneers?
The choice between these two treatments depends on your goals, budget, and the extent of the changes you desire. Here’s a general guide:
Composite Bonding: Choose this option for smaller, localized fixes (such as repairing minor chips or closing small gaps) and if you’re working with a more limited budget.
Porcelain Veneers: Opt for veneers when you’re looking for a more comprehensive transformation of your teeth’s color, shape, and alignment, and you want the most durable and visually stunning aesthetic result.
