But we first encourage you to read answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below.

Can Cosmetic Dentistry Improve Tooth Discolouration?

Of course! We have several ways to restore your teeth to their natural pearly white colour. Some tooth stains are resistant to any amount of brushing, but Villanova Dental Studio has professional solutions to brighten your smile. Whether you just need a touch-up so that you look better in pictures or want significant teeth whitening, we can help. Among our cosmetic dentistry services that might interest you are:

• Smile Makeover – Our smile makeovers are comprehensive improvements that often centre around whitening teeth. We even offer tooth-coloured fillings to maintain a consistent appearance.
• Porcelain Veneers – Veneers are excellent cosmetic dentistry applications for those with discoloured or crooked teeth. We can adhere permanent, white veneers to your teeth for a beautiful new look.
• Teeth Whitening – We use the Iveri™ teeth whitening system to make our patients’ teeth up to eight shades whiter. This process uses a special LED light and unique whitening gel to remove years of stains.

What Does the Porcelain Veneers Process Entail?

Porcelain veneers are permanent dental restorations that can correct discoloured, crooked, missing, or chipped teeth. They cover the front of your existing teeth, and their ultra-thin porcelain reflects light to create a bright smile. They are permanent and stain-resistant, and they will last years with proper oral hygiene.

When you visit one of our convenient Villanova Dental Studio clinics in and around Ottawa, we will walk you through the whole process. It involves removing a thin layer of enamel before making impressions of your teeth. This impression will allow us to make veneers that match the size and shape of your mouth. We send your impression to Classic Labs for fabrication. In the meantime, we will apply temporary veneers so that you can still eat and communicate easily. Once your permanent veneers are ready, come back to our office so we can affix them to your teeth using a special bonding agent. Your new smile is now ready for the world.

How Long Does a Tooth Whitening Procedure Take?

Our in-office Iveri™ teeth whitening procedure is quick and efficient. Within 20 minutes, we can make your teeth up to eight shades whiter. Years of stains are no match for this best-in-class cosmetic dentistry procedure. We begin with a thorough dental cleaning to remove bacteria and food debris. Then, we apply a gel directly to your teeth using a special tray before using an LED light to activate the unique formula. Including your dental cleaning, you can have a bright new smile in less than an hour.

Does Insurance Cover Cosmetic Dentistry Services?

You will need to check with your insurance company to learn whether it covers cosmetic dentistry services. We do require full payment at the time of your service, but we offer flexible in-office savings plans, courtesy discounts, and various ways to make smile restoration affordable.
