Reclaim your smile, comfort, and confidence with Langley City, BC, dental restorations
To restore is to return something to its former condition. In Langley City, BC, dental restorations at the office of Dr. Harpreet Aulakh do not just restore teeth to their original condition; they often make those teeth much better than before! Smile365 is happy to offer many different types of restorative treatments to improve your appearance, confidence, oral health, and well-being.
Fillings
As the name suggests, these restorations fill in the part of the tooth that is damaged from decay. Dr. Aulakh uses a composite resin that contains glass particles to mimic the properties of the natural tooth structure. When precisely affixed to the damaged areas, resin-based fillings allow you to chew comfortably and smile confidently again. Moreover, treatment allows you to avoid decay from progressing to where more extensive restorations are needed.
Bonding
Like fillings, bonding involves using composite resin to cover up cosmetic flaws. Dr. Aulakh skillfully applies the prepared yet pliable dental material to your teeth where it is shaped and later bonded or securely fixed to chipped, gapped, or otherwise cosmetically flawed surfaces. Bonding often inspires patients to take greater care of their smiles. Furthermore, Dr. Aulakh may find that the imperfections you want to cover up are caused by conditions such as teeth-grinding. So, in those cases, patients will be fitted with a customised nightguard or dental appliance to protect their treated teeth from further damage.
Veneers
This type of restoration also corrects cosmetic flaws. But it does so in a different way from bonding. Instead of using composite resin, Dr. Aulakh uses dental porcelain to give the appearance of resized, reshaped, or repositioned teeth. Furthermore, the veneers are made in a trusted dental lab. Once the veneers are completed, Dr. Aulakh securely bonds them to natural teeth that have been slightly reduced in size (to accommodate the thickness of the veneer, for the most natural look and feel). Veneers not only replicate natural enamel in an unmatched way, but they are also stain-resistant!
Tooth replacement
Replacing teeth that have been extracted or have fallen out has a dramatic effect on the quality of your life. You can smile without embarrassment. You can enjoy certain foods again, without discomfort. You also avoid bone loss, which can cause changes that age the appearance of your face and make existing functional problems far worse. Dr. Aulakh looks forward to discussing the best options for you and your situation, from conventional bridges and dentures to crowns, bridges, and dentures that are supported by dental implants placed in the jaw.
With so many restorative options, there is no reason to hold on to unsightly or painful teeth. Call (604) 409-8660 to schedule your appointment at Smile365 Dental, located near Brookswood in Langley City, BC.
