Cosmetic Smile Makeover Services in Stittsville, ON

Ottawa, ON Villanova Dental Studio, is a team of dentist and dental professionals that provide a range of dental services. We work together to offer comprehensive dental care that goes beyond aesthetics to address and treat the root of our patient’s oral health concerns. We build beautiful smiles on healthy and stable oral foundations.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a permanent cosmetic restoration that can treat a wide range of dental concerns such as chips, cracks, discolouration or gaps. Veneers are made of a highly durable, ultra-thin ceramic that mimics natural tooth material. The shell is custom designed and colour matched to blend with your smile.

The tooth is carefully prepared to make room for the veneer, then the veneer permanently adheres to the prepared tooth. Veneers can last for many years and look and feel like natural teeth. Veneers are suitable for addressing one tooth, or many teeth.

Tooth Coloured Fillings

Traditional metal fillings, especially in the “smile-zone” can be distracting and disrupt the balance and aesthetics of the smile. Dr. Barakat offers metal-free composite white dental fillings. The filling can be colour matched to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Patients with old metal fillings may qualify to have their prior filling removed and replaced with a white tooth coloured filling for a more beautiful smile. Cosmetic white fillings can be used to treat tooth decay or minor chips and cracks.

Orthodontics

For adult patients with minor to mild orthodontic concerns, Invisalign can discreetly straighten your teeth using clear aligners. Many patients with orthodontic relapse find success using Invisalign to readjust shifted teeth. Dr. Barakat offers several orthodontic services to straighten teeth and realign misaligned bites.

Tooth Bonding

For patients not ready to commit to porcelain veneers, tooth bonding offers a less permanent and economical alternative. The bonding material can be colour matched to your teeth and will be molded to reshape, fill gaps, cracks or chips. Tooth bonding can last up to 10 years with proper oral hygiene.

Tooth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments are one of the quickest, most affordable and easiest ways to brighten and whiten your smile. Teeth whitening can take years off of your appearance and improve confidence in just one visit to our Stittsville, ON cosmetic dentist office.

Personalized Smile Designs: What Is a Smile Makeover?

Smile makeovers can include treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, and more. Each smile makeover is different and includes varied procedures. Villanova Dental Studio an individualized and catered approach, enabling our team to determine the best way to achieve a successful personalized smile design. We’ll start with a consultation and examination before taking it step by step.

How Do I Know If I Am a Candidate for Smile Enhancement?

Anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their smile can be a candidate for smile enhancement. However, it is important to have good overall oral health before undergoing any cosmetic dental procedures. There is no point in addressing aesthetic concerns while there are ongoing issues with your teeth, gums, and jaw. We recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our experienced dentists to determine if a smile makeover is right for you.

How Long Does a Smile Transformation Take?

How long the smile transformation process takes depends on the procedures we use to improve your smile. For instance, dental implants are a time-consuming process, so if we are using implants to improve your appearance, the smile makeover might take longer than if we are using bonding, whitening, and veneers. On average, the entire process can take a few weeks to several months, depending on what we are doing. We can’t provide an accurate estimate until we have performed an assessment.

How Much Does a Smile Makeover Cost?

The cost of a smile makeover can also vary depending on the treatments involved and the complexity of your case. Dental implants and Invisalign® are more expensive than some other cosmetic treatments, so if you require one or both of those treatments, the cost will go up. To get an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our dentists. We will clearly communicate the overall cost of the smile makeover while providing an itemized breakdown. You will have the option to omit certain procedures if you have to do so.

What Are the Risks of Smile Enhancement Procedures?

How Long Will My Smile Makeover Last?
