Cosmetic dentistry
in Gatineau
A natural, harmonious smile that looks like you
Would you like whiter teeth, to correct certain imperfections, or to have a smile you feel completely at ease with?
At Centre dentaire Vadeboncoeur in Gatineau, cosmetic dental care begins with a conversation about what you would like to change, and also with an assessment of your oral health.
Dental veneers, teeth whitening or a more complete smile rehabilitation: we assess the different possibilities and explain the solutions that may suit your needs.
Our goal is not to create a standardized smile. It is to help you achieve a natural, harmonious result that looks like you.
Dental veneers
Changing the details that shape the appearance of a smile
Dental veneers are thin restorations designed to cover the visible surface of certain teeth in order to change their appearance.
Depending on your situation, they may be considered to improve certain aspects of your smile, including:
- The colour of certain teeth
- The shape or proportions of the teeth
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Certain gaps between the teeth
- Certain visible irregularities in the smile
Planning is an important step. Your dentist must take your dentition, your bite, your oral health and the result you are looking for into account before determining whether veneers are a good option.
In some cases, other more conservative treatments can also achieve the desired outcome.
How much do dental veneers cost?
The price of dental veneers varies according to several factors and cannot be determined from the number of teeth visible when you smile alone.
Some people want to change one or two teeth, while others are considering a more complete transformation of their smile.
A consultation makes it possible to assess your situation and determine the different options before presenting you with a treatment plan and a cost estimate.
The cost may vary according to:
- The number of veneers required
- The material and type of restoration chosen
- The current condition of the teeth
- The complexity of the treatment
- Any preparatory care that may be needed
- The result you are looking for
Smile rehabilitation and reconstruction
When you would like to go further than correcting a single tooth
Some people want to improve one specific detail. For others, several teeth are worn, damaged, discoloured or missing, or carry various restorations that no longer blend with their smile.
A dental rehabilitation makes it possible to address the situation as a whole rather than treating each tooth independently.
Depending on your needs, a treatment plan may combine different approaches, for example:
The aim is to find a balance between health, function, comfort and appearance.
Thinking about having your teeth redone?
“Having your teeth redone” can mean many things. For one person, it means whitening their smile. For another, correcting a few visible teeth.
For someone whose teeth are badly worn or damaged, a more comprehensive approach may be necessary. That is why we do not begin by proposing a treatment. We begin by asking you:
What would you like to change about your smile?
Your dentist can then examine your teeth, listen to your expectations and present the different possibilities that match your situation.
Teeth whitening
Regaining a brighter smile
Over the years, the colour of teeth can change under the influence of many factors, including diet, certain drinks, tobacco and natural aging.
Teeth whitening lightens the shade of natural teeth to make the smile brighter.
Before whitening, an assessment of your oral health makes it possible to check whether the treatment is appropriate for you and to discuss the result you would like to obtain.
It is also important to know that existing restorations, such as certain crowns, veneers or fillings, do not respond to whitening the same way natural teeth do.
Good planning therefore makes it possible to achieve a more harmonious result.
Which cosmetic treatment suits your smile?
There is no single cosmetic solution that suits everyone. A slightly discoloured tooth does not necessarily call for a veneer. Someone who wants a whiter smile does not necessarily need restorations.
And when several teeth are weakened or worn, appearance has to be considered alongside their function and their health. That is why our approach always begins with an assessment and a conversation about your expectations. We then explain the possibilities, their advantages and their limits, so that you can make an informed decision.
A beautiful smile starts with a healthy smile.
