Orthodontist

A series of small injections of a purified neurotoxin that temporarily blocks nerve impulses to muscles or other tissues, causing the muscles to relax.  When muscles relax, the overlying skin moves less, effectively reducing wrinkles.  Botulinum toxin injections can be strategically placed for various other indications, including rejuvenation of the upper and lower face, reducing sweating, and medical conditions such as migraine. The effects usually wear off after a few months.

Botulinum toxin injections

A material placed over the teeth to improve their appearance. A veneer is usually made of either a composite material or porcelain. A composite veneer may be placed in one visit at a dentist’s office whereas a porcelain veneer usually is fabricated in a dental laboratory and later fitted to the tooth.

Veneers

Surgically placed screws, usually made of titanium or ceramic, that are inserted into the bone so that crowns or dentures can be attached.

Dental implants

A bleaching gel such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is used to lift stains from teeth.  First, a mould  is used to prepare whitening trays that fit snugly over the teeth.  The bleaching gel is placed within the trays so the whitening can occur over a period of time, such as a few hours per day.  Treatment may continue every day until the teeth reach the desired shade of whiteness.

Teeth whitening without laser

Orally administered drugs to improve a condition, improve health or enhance wellbeing. Medications often play a complementary role in aesthetic procedures and skin therapies. They may also be recommended for the treatment or prevention of infections.

Medications

Braces are small mechanical devices made of metal, ceramic or plastic, used in orthodontics to straighten teeth. Braces are positioned, adjusted and tightened over time in order to move the teeth. They are used to improve the appearance and function of teeth when there are crooked teeth, gaps, or problems with the bite such as overbite or underbite.

Braces

Crowns are coverings, usually made of ceramic or alloy, used to cap or cover teeth than have been damaged or require restoration.  The tooth is first reduced to allow the crown to be attached using cement.  Bridges consist of more than one crown fused together and may be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth by using existing teeth as anchors.

Crowns and bridges

Clear aligners are plastic, removable devices designed to straighten teeth. A mould of the teeth is taken to create the aligner, and computer modelling is used to design subsequent moulds that place pressure on the teeth so that over time the teeth move to the desired, straightened position. Several different aligners are placed every couple of weeks for several months until the final position is reached.
