As a result, you can improve your confidence and enjoy more reasons to smile. In fact, according to the Canadian Dental Association, available research suggests poor oral health can impact your mental, physical, and social well-being.

When your teeth don’t look their best, it’s hard to feel your best. In proof, a study conducted for Invisalign® by Kelton reported that 87% of people said they would sacrifice something they like for an entire year to gain a nice smile. Rest assured, you don’t have to sacrifice something you like for an entire year to get a smile you feel proud to show off. That’s where we come in. First and foremost, our goal is to help you feel your best from the moment you sit on one of our comfortable dental chairs.

FAQs

Cosmetic dentistry can help someone who is embarrassed or self-conscious about their teeth become more confident in the way their smile looks.

There’s a lot to be said for a beautiful smile. Social experiments have shown that people with whiter, straighter teeth, tend to:

  • Smile more frequently
  • Be seen as more friendly
  • Do well in social settings such as job interviews

Of course, the best cosmetic dentist in Calgary can’t make promises that a new smile will make you feel a certain way. But if you know that there are things about your teeth you don’t like, and they’re affecting your everyday life, then investing in the help of a great dental team can make you feel more confident!

Most cosmetic dentistry treatments are considered elective procedures. That is, they’re designed for aesthetic purposes and not therapeutic or restorative ones. In such cases, this situation also means that cosmetic dentistry isn’t covered by insurance or benefits.

Fortunately, there are a wide range of Calgary cosmetic dentistry treatments that can be adjusted to fit the needs of the individual patient. Some are more dramatic, while others are subtle (and budget-savvy), yet extremely effective. When you have a budget in mind, it’s possible to afford cosmetic dental treatment without having to break the bank.

Another great aspect of cosmetic dentistry is that we can use aesthetically pleasing materials in traditional restorative treatments. For instance, if you have a broken front tooth, we can design a porcelain crown or bonded white filling to repair the area. Such treatments are necessary, and as such, they’re usually covered by your dental insurance.

A cosmetic dentist is a general or family dentist that offers cosmetic dentistry treatments. It’s common for dentists in Calgary who practice cosmetic dentistry to be referred to as cosmetic dentists, but they’re actually licensed general practitioners. It may just be that the majority of their focus of care is centered around aesthetic dentistry, hence why people refer to them as something different than they do a traditional family dentist.

However, there is no board-certified cosmetic dentist category. Cosmetic dentistry is simply an area of focused care within a general practice setting. So, if you’re looking for the best cosmetic dentist in Calgary, you would want to see a reputable general or family practitioner who offers such services within their practice.
