Cosmetic Dentistry Services Offered
Below are the cosmetic dentistry services provided at Wilczek Dental Group in Prince George, each tailored to address specific dental concerns and aesthetic goals:
-
Veneers: Thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct discolouration, chips, gaps, and irregular shapes. They are custom-designed for natural appearance and long-term durability.
-
Bonding: Tooth-coloured composite material applied to repair minor damage, close gaps, or reshape teeth. Bonding is typically completed in a single visit and preserves the surrounding tooth structure.
-
Whitening: Professional teeth whitening treatments remove stains and discoloration caused by food, beverages, or aging. Options include in-office procedures and supervised at-home kits for controlled, safe results.
-
Orthodontic treatment: Includes minor alignment corrections to improve bite function and overall smile symmetry. Treatments may involve braces or other professional orthodontic solutions suited to the patient's needs.
-
Clear teeth aligners: Removable, transparent trays designed to straighten teeth gradually. They are custom-fitted for comfort and aesthetics, offering a discreet alternative to traditional braces.
