Cosmetic Dentistry
At Victoria Dental Centre Christchurch we have a special interest in cosmetic dentistry.
Whitening
We have two systems available to brighten and whiten your teeth. Both systems use varying concentrations of Peroxide. Studies over many years have shown professional dental systems to be totally safe and effective. Everyone’s teeth are different so come in for a free 10 minute consultation. A dentist will advise you which products and techniques will achieve your desired result.
- In-office whitening
For immediate whitening, a high concentration of peroxide gel is applied to the teeth for about an hour. Additional bleaching sessions or an at home whitening system may be required as well. - Professional At Home Whitening
Studies show bleaching overnight using a gel in custom made bleaching trays will produce the best results in the long term.
The length of time to whiten teeth varies between individuals but many achieve the desired result in one to three weeks. A once yearly application usually maintains a bright smile. Sometimes old fillings need to be replaced to perfect the colour of the teeth. We can advise if this will be needed before bleaching commences.
Porcelain Veneers
Alter the shape and colour of your teeth with porcelain veneers that cover just the front of your teeth.
Crowns and Bridges
Full coverage porcelain crowns strengthen teeth which have large fillings. The crowns can also improve the colour and shape of teeth and provide a more permanent solution. We can also replace missing teeth with bridges and implants.
