Services Offered

Dr. Seddon is happy to provide a number of treatment options as a cosmetic dentist.

Composite Bonding – This is a quick and painless option for repairing chipped or discoloured teeth.  In this process, a composite resin that has been dyed to match the colour of the tooth it is repairing is layered into place and then light-cured.  Once the last layer is in place, the composite resin is polished and shaped to match the contours of the tooth.  Your new tooth is now a match for the rest of your smile.

Veneers – These can be used to repair a number of defects including teeth that are fractured, discoloured or worn down.  Veneers can also be used to fix teeth that are too small or that are out of position.  The tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the new veneer and a temporary acrylic veneer is put in place.  An impression is taken and sent to the lab where a custom-made porcelain veneer is made.  Once the final porcelain veneer is ready, it is cemented into place and your new smile is ready to be shown off to the world.

Whitening – Dr. Seddon can provide tooth whitening for cosmetic purposes either in the office or as part of take-home package.  Need your teeth whitened in a hurry for a special occasion?  Then come to our office for a single visit solution.  One appointment and your teeth are whitened as you relax in the chair.  In less of a hurry?  Come in for an appointment to have your custom-made whitening trays made and whiten your teeth at home over a two week period.

Invisalign – Dr. Seddon is proud to be an Invisalign Preferred Provider and to be able to provide this service to his patients.  Invisalign is the transparent alternative to traditional metal braces.

Smile Design – Looking for a smile make-over?  Based on his training with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and the California Center for Advanced Dental Studies (CCADS) and his experience with patients, Dr. Seddon incorporates all aspects of smile design to create the smile you’ve always wanted.

A Combination for Success

Dr. Seddon’s combination of experience and training lets him use a combination of techniques to provide the best treatment options for his patients.  By combining more than one treatment, he is able to offer choices that produce desired results for patients, while being minimally invasive.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

My teeth are sensitive after I whitened them.  Is that normal?

Tooth sensitivity can be a typical side effect of teeth whitening.  It usually resolves 1 to 3 days after treatment is finished or stopped.

Do veneers require any special care?

No.  Once your final veneers are in place, you can continue to brush and floss as before.

How long will my teeth whitening results last?

Results typically last for 6 to 9 months after whitening.  This number can drop though if you smoke or consume a lot of foods that stain your teeth.  Poor oral hygiene will also decrease how long your results last.
