Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry services are aimed at those who are healthy or reasonably healthy but still want to improve their looks by investing in a nicer smile.

Here what we offer for them at Implants Care Costa Rica:

Veneers

They are laminated porcelain facings that are made in a dental lab and cemented over the front of your natural teeth. They are a long-lasting cure for teeth that are severely discolored, which were chipped for any reason, have small holes or pits, appeared misshaped or crooked, or for the correction of unwanted or uneven spaces between your dental pieces.

Once placed, veneers work like your normal teeth. They will be brushed and flossed; your biting will feel renewed; and they will last for an average of between 10 to 15 years.

Curious about how a mouth with veneers looks like? Just turn on the TV or go to the cinema. You can have that smile too.

Bonding

Bonding refers to facings, like the veneers above, but using resins rather than porcelain. And, they are made right on the spot, without a dental lab involved. Bonding is a composite resin filling placed in the back teeth as well as the front teeth.

Composites are the solution for restoring decayed teeth, making cosmetic improvements and even changing the colour of your teeth or reshaping them. Bonding will lighten any stains you may have, close up minor gaps and can be used to correct crooked teeth.

The advantage of bonding is that there is usually no anaesthesia or tooth preparation involved, making it convenient for all kinds of patients.

Plastic gum surgery

Some people have "gummy smile", a problem in which teeth appear to be too short, and gums too large, affecting the look of your smile. Gum sculpting is often the solution to this problem. A specialist uses a laser (under a procedure we call electrosurgery) to remove the excess gum tissue which covers your smile, so you can show more of your teeth next time.

Are you interested in undergoing this procedure? Contact us right away. In the meantime, let us remind you that your gums' health is as important as your teeth’s health. Prevent gum diseases through a correct hygiene and regular checks by your dentist.

Tooth whitening

As we get older, our teeth often start losing their natural whiteness. Smoking, drinking sodas, tea or coffee, among many others, often contribute to staining our teeth with yellowish or brownish tones.

We all agree that white teeth look better, yet it is not easy to recover our teeth whiteness naturally. Teeth whitening treatments are aimed at helping everybody recover the natural whiteness we want to show when we smile.

How does it work? There are many procedures, but the summary is simple: The doctor will apply either cleansing laser or chemicals on your teeth to clean them. Once the treatment is done, your smile will be white again.

How does the dentist decide on the procedure? That depends on the professional examination of your mouth; but rest assured that at Implants Care Costa Rica you will get the best treatment for your case, and that your teeth will shine at the end!
