Interested in making your smile look better, but worried about damage to your teeth and the costs?

Minimally destructive cosmetic dentistry is an ethical and novel dental philosophy that can be very effective in improving your smile and, unlike many other current treatments, is biologically safe and does not damage your teeth in doing so.

So not only will you have a better-looking smile, but your teeth remain healthy and will, with good self-care, last you a lifetime too.

*** As a bonus, treatment tends to cost considerably less than traditional treatments. ***

----- COMPOSITE BONDING ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----

Composite bonding is when thin tooth-coloured dental restorations are directly sculpted and polished onto the teeth by the dentist to make them look better. They are great at improving the shape of teeth for a variety of reasons:

- Short or small teeth
- Teeth with uneven edges
- Chipped teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
- Worn teeth
- Stained teeth

Unlike porcelain crowns or veneers, they often require minimal or NO cutting back of the natural teeth in order for them to be done. This means that there are NO risks which would be associated with having porcelain crowns or veneers - such as the death of tooth nerves (needing root canal treatments or extractions), or weakening of the teeth which makes them more likely to break.

Therefore, you would be able to create a beautiful smile, without potential long-term damage to the health of your teeth.

Also, composite veneers are not made by a technician in the lab, but rather they are bonded and artistically sculpted onto your teeth directly by the dentist, and then carefully polished. They are therefore technically and artistically far more demanding for the dentist to carry out and require a great deal of expertise.

Composite veneers can be:

- Repaired
- Repolished
- Reshaped
- Resurfaced

None of the above is possible with porcelain veneers, which often need to be completely replaced once a problem occurs. The average lifetime of a porcelain veneer is about 7 years.

Also, once a porcelain veneer is made in the lab, it is not possible to make changes to it. Composite veneers, on the other hand, are made with you in the dental chair, with your full live feedback regarding every aspect of their construction.

----- TOOTH WHITENING ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------

Tooth whitening or bleaching is a scientifically-proven, safe, and very
effective way to improve the colour of teeth. It is also effective in the treatment of darkened dead teeth, fluorosis, tetracycline staining, and many other types of
discolouration.

----- TOOTH STRAIGHTENING ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------

It is now possible to correct mild to moderate tooth crowding (crookedness) without necessarily having unsightly and expensive regular braces.

INMAN ALIGNERS are removable appliances that are worn in the mouth for 16-20 hours a day and use clever spring mechanics made of a shape-memory alloy to gently, yet extremely rapidly, move teeth into correct and beautiful positions.

Unlike regular braces which normally take 1-2 years for the treatment to be completed and cost anywhere from $7000-$10000, Inman Aligner treatment typically takes 1. 5-4 months for the majority of cases and costs roughly $3, 000-$3, 500 depending on your initial tooth crowding.

For more information on Inman Aligners see www. inmanaligner.com

INVISALIGN is another fantastic way to correct mild to moderate tooth crowding, without anyone ever knowing that you are having your teeth straightened!

Invisalign treatment consists of wearing thin see-through customised trays over your teeth which are almost invisible from normal speaking distance. The trays are worn for 24 hours a day and only removed when eating and cleaning the teeth. A new set of upper and lower trays are worn every 2 weeks, with the total treatment time depending on the amount of crowding that needs to be corrected.

Treatment cost depends on the level of crowding and ranges from $4, 500-$9, 000.

You have to be assessed first to check your suitability for treatment with INMAN ALIGNERS or INVISALIGN.


Together, tooth straightening, tooth whitening and composite bonding are a safe, ethical, and cost-effective way to dramatically improve your smile!
