Are you ready to upgrade your smile?

Do you lack the confidence to smile openly with others? Are you embarrassed and camera shy by the appearance of your teeth? You can upgrade your smile with personalised cosmetic dentistry at Smiles by Hillside! Through personalised treatments, including porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, dental crowns, and teeth whitening, we can help you regain confidence in your smile.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Correct

  • Discoloured teeth
  • Chipped teeth
  • Spaces between teeth
  • Disproportionate teeth
  • Uneven gum line
  • Asymmetrical smile

Porcelain veneers enable us to reshape your teeth dramatically.
We will only recommend veneers if we can assure that as little tooth as possible is removed and the long-term health of your teeth is not compromised.
Additional procedures, like a short course of orthodontic treatment to move teeth into a more favourable position, may be carried out before veneers are placed to eliminate the need to remove too much tooth structure.

What are veneers?

Thin shells of porcelain cover just the front portion of the teeth that show when you smile. Once your teeth have been modified, veneers will fit naturally and restore proper size, shape, and alignment. With minimal maintenance and maximum longevity, veneers are a beneficial and hassle-free choice for renewing your smile.

How is this done?

Porcelain veneers are as strong as your natural teeth but not more robust, meaning anything that would damage your natural tooth will damage a surface. Before providing you with veneers, we will discuss how you would like your new smile to look and will be planned to utilise digital methods. Our master dental technician will translate this into a diagnostic wax-up, which will help us to visualise the changes and the result. Whenever possible, we will try out the new shape of your teeth, a so-called “trial smile: procedure. Once you are happy with the “new look” of your teeth, we will appoint you the preparation of your teeth for the veneers and you will be fitted with provisional surfaces for about 2-4 weeks. During this time, your beautiful new teeth will be crafted by one of our master dental technicians. Choosing to get cosmetic veneers can help you feel free to smile more often, talk to people you don’t know, and even boost your overall confidence in social or professional settings. You are comfortable with how your smile affects every aspect of your personal life. Are you ready to invest in yourself?

Composite veneers are an excellent alternative to porcelain veneers. They require less removal of tooth than porcelain veneers, and in most cases no removal of tooth structure at all. Control of the final appearance is in the hands of the dentist as they are carefully layered with composite material onto the patient’s teeth. Typically, the end result is achieved over one appointment. They are the treatment of choice in younger patients where porcelain veneers are not recommended. They can also be used as a diagnostic tool to ensure that porcelain veneers will work for a patient. Modern composite materials are strong, but not stronger than natural teeth and not as stain resistant as porcelain materials. These restorations require slightly more maintenance and regular visits to the hygienist to keep them looking polished.
Crowns are porcelain or ceramic “hats” for your teeth that conceal cosmetic and functional damage. They are durable and crack-resistant, which makes them a good choice for the chewing teeth (molars) and front teeth that are cracked, broken, or misshapen. A tooth crown can generally last 15 years or more when cared for properly.

If you’ve lost a tooth but are not entirely ready to commit to a dental implant, a dental bridge is your next best-fixed option for single or multiple teeth. A dental bridge spans the gap that a missing tooth creates and attaches to your natural teeth on either side. The bridge includes an artificial tooth seamlessly anchored to your existing teeth for proper fit and alignment. The teeth adjacent to the artificial tooth require dental crowns to provide adequate support. Once the restorations are ready, the bridge with the artificial tooth is attached to the crowned teeth. Dental bridges can also be attached to dental implants instead of adjacent natural teeth.

The benefits of dental bridges:

  • Restores function and aesthetics
  • Improves chewing, speech and overall oral health
  • Eliminates unsightly gaps in your smile
  • It keeps the remaining teeth from shifting
  • Prevents bone loss from missing teeth
  • It helps maintain the natural shape of your face
Occasionally teeth only need small cosmetic adjustments to restore their natural aesthetics and function. If you don’t need a complete crown, we offer inlays and onlays to smarten up your smile instead. Inlays replace an inside portion of a tooth and onlays restore one or more cusps of a tooth renewing strength and structure.

Crooked teeth almost always result in cosmetic concerns, even if their misalignment isn’t causing functional problems affecting your bite. We offer a range of orthodontic treatments that can be tailored to your needs. We’ll help you determine which will most effectively correct your crooked, misaligned teeth and improve the aesthetics of your smile. Orthodontic treatment generally lasts 6-24 months, depending on your case.

People who show a lot of gum in their smiles (so-called gummy smiles) are often embarrassed to smile freely. A simple procedure can allow them to smile confidently. A gum lift (crown lengthening) is a popular cosmetic periodontal procedure where excess gum and bone tissue is recontoured to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth to even your gum line or several teeth to expose a genuine, broad smile.

Conversely, sometimes gum recessions leads to teeth that appear too long. Furthermore, exposed roots are often temperature sensitive. Soft tissue grafts can cover exposed roots, reduce the risk of further gum recession and protect vulnerable roots from decay and temperature sensitivity.
