As the leaves turn and the Okanagan Valley bursts into a kaleidoscope of colours, many families, couples, and individuals plan photo sessions to capture these magical moments. Whether it's a family gathering, an engagement shoot, or celebrating a new addition to your family, Rutland Dental Centre is here to ensure your smile is as radiant as the beautiful fall backdrop. Our cosmetic dentistry options allow you to look and feel your best for any occasion this season.

Here's a closer look at how our tailored dental treatments can enhance your smile and boost your confidence for those picture-perfect moments.

  1. Teeth Whitening

Process: Professional in-office teeth whitening at Rutland Dental Centre involves the careful application of a high-concentration bleaching gel that is activated under a controlled light.

Timeline: The procedure takes about an hour and the results are immediate, making this an ideal choice for quick improvements.

Benefits: Achieve several shades brighter teeth in just one session, enhancing your smile's radiance. Regular maintenance sessions can prolong the effects, boosting your confidence just in time for holiday photos and gatherings.

  1. Porcelain Veneers

Process: The process begins with a consultation to design your perfect smile, followed by preparing your teeth, where a small amount of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer. Impressions are taken and sent to a lab where each veneer is crafted to fit perfectly over each tooth.

Timeline: Typically requires two to three visits over a few weeks.

Benefits: Veneers provide a durable and stain-resistant surface, offering a long-term solution to cosmetic issues such as severe discolouration, chips, or gaps. They are crafted to look natural and can last for many years with proper care.

  1. Dental Bonding

Process: A tooth-coloured resin is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, bonding the material to the tooth in just one visit.

Timeline: The entire process is completed in about 30-60 minutes per tooth.

Benefits: Dental bonding is a cost-effective and minimally invasive procedure that corrects aesthetic flaws. It's an excellent option for small cosmetic changes and correcting teeth in visible areas.

  1. Invisalign

Process: After a detailed scan of your mouth, a series of clear aligners are custom-made. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position.

Timeline: The total treatment time varies depending on individual needs but generally ranges from 12 to 18 months.

Benefits: Invisalign offers a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without the wires and brackets of traditional braces, allowing more flexibility and a more comfortable treatment experience. It also simplifies dental hygiene during treatment.

  1. Dental Crowns

Process: The tooth receiving the crown is reshaped to ensure a good fit, and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is made. Once ready, the permanent crown is cemented into place.

Timeline: Usually involves two visits spaced about two weeks apart.

Benefits: Crowns restore the functionality and appearance of damaged or decayed teeth. They are strong and can be made from materials that match the natural colour of your teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
