This quick fix is a great idea for patients who are curious about cosmetic dentistry, but do not wish to commit just yet. Kerrisdale Cosmetic & General Dentistry is able to determine whether or not you will be able to endure permanent cosmetic dental treatments, such as veneers or Zoom! Whitening, as well as provide patients with a preview of what a permanent cosmetic dental solution will look like.

Snap on Teeth are not an ideal solution for everybody; patients with protrusive or removable teeth may not be good candidates. Additionally, always remember that Snap on Teeth are temporary, and may require replacement.

Executive Esthetic Dentistry: Finding Your Perfect Smile

Posted on Sep 15, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments

cosmetic dentist in vancouverThese days, CEOs aren’t fretting over their fine lines, but are more interested in the state of their smile. Executive Esthetic Dentistry is cosmetic dentistry for executives at a high-level, but differs from what a model or actor would pursue when it comes to their teeth. Here at Kerrisdale Dental in Vancouver, we can offer you dental procedures that will give you the smile you deserve to help achieve your work and business goals.

In a recent Forbes magazine article, executive smile makeovers were a prominent feature. Even though these types of makeover aren’t all that trendy, they are getting more media attention in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures. Having a smile you can be proud of gives you the self-confidence you need to succeed in the business world.

Executives also want a natural smile which will work to make them look younger. Business is turning into a more competitive field worldwide which has even Japanese executives turning to cosmetic dentistry. Even though everyone is unique, achieving a great executive esthetic smile has common threads that people share.

Many executives like being at the center of everything, but they seem to be more subtle when choosing a new smile. The look executives lean towards is natural and youthful–a step above their actual smile. With advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures from Kerrisdale Dental, your smile will help you appear younger, and give a more professional appearance when dealing with clients or prospective clients.

Because corporation presidents and CEO’s are generally older, teeth bleaching alone is not effective enough. Stains have become implanted on the tooth after being built up over the years and cannot be whitened. Executive restorations for patients at our dental clinic in Vancouver are more successful when veneers or crowns are used. These cosmetic dentistry procedures be utilized depending on how much healthy tooth a patient has and whatever their desired outcome may be.

One great thing about cosmetic dentistry is the ability for dentists to make each procedure individual and customized for every unique patient. A unique smile makeover is possible because of recent advancements in dentist technique and smile design, dental materials used, and laboratory expertise.

Whatever your smile makeover aspirations, Kerrisdale Dental in Vancouver can help you create the smile you’ve been looking for. Give us a call today to make an appointment.

Smiles for Life: Keeping Your Teeth Natural

Posted on Sep 8, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments

It has come across our attention at Kerrisdale Dental that many aging patients are concerned about losing teeth as they grow older. The truth of the matter is that there is no reason for senior citizens to lose their teeth other than because of oral disease.senior citizen dental care vancouver

Your perfect smile can last you a lifetime, if you take proper care of it.

The aging generation is now one of the fastest growing populations in North America. Most dental professionals are seeing that these citizens are keeping their teeth healthy, allowing for a natural smile with no need of dental implants or dentures.

However, a natural smile that lasts a lifetime is only possible with proper oral health care—which typically requires an annual visit to the team at Kerrisdale Cosmetic and General Dentistry.

“We have found that seniors take longer breaks from visiting the dentist,” says Dr. Abbas Tejani, “it seems as if they stop caring because they don’t think their oral hygiene matters anymore.”

Proper oral health care is essential for older people for a multitude of reasons. One of which is dry mouth, which slows down the production of saliva. Often seen in elderly patients, dry mouth can be harmful because saliva helps to prevent tooth decay by washing away food particles and eliminating acids. Luckily, a dentist can fix dry mouth.

Senior citizens should also remember to maintain a regiment of daily flossing and brushing with fluoride toothpaste. Elderly people are likely to get cavities where older fillings have broken or where receding gums have left unprotected surfaces.

In addition, for elderly patients to maintain optimal oral health, snacks with sugars and starch should be eliminated.

Keep your smile healthy and complete with proper oral care! Take some time to contact us at Kerrisdale Dental for a check-up and cleaning today.

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments

Do you think your smile could be better? Do you notice stains or chips on your front teeth? Veneers might be the answer you have been searching for! Veneers are made up of thin shells of composite resin material or porcelain. They can be applied to the front teeth with or without anesthesia within our office.

At Kerrisdale Dental we can brighten, whiten and correct any flaws in your smile. We have state-of-the-art technology and our team has numerous years of cosmetic dentistry experience behind them.

We understand that a stained or cracked tooth may make you want to hide away and we know how it can affect a client’s level of confidence.  With veneers you can feel proud of your sparkling pearly whites and shine confidently throughout your day. These tiny thin shells can cover up stains, cracks and chips on the front teeth improving your smile by 100% and do not stick out as much as crowns.

If you tend to drink dark-coloured drinks such as coffee, wine or Coca Cola you are susceptible to getting stains on your teeth. Smoking can also add to the discolouration of the front teeth. Veneers can be a great alternative to getting crowns put in.

Do you have  gaps between your teeth? Veneers can also be a great solution for covering up  annoying gaps and can allow you to feel more positive when putting a smile out  into the universe. We at Kerrisdale Dental believe that a smile is worth a thousand words and we are here to help you discover your smile for the first time or all over again. Sometimes people who have undergone root canals or have previously had a tooth injury may have stains on their teeth. Veneers last for numerous years and can be exactly what you have been seeking for a whole new you. With new veneers comes a new outlook on life.
