In the past decade, interest in cosmetic dentistry has dramatically grown. It seems we have all realized that having a healthy, bright, and beautiful smile can enhance our appearance and help us smile with confidence. Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, the team at London Road Dental in Lethbridge has been able to improve our patients’ teeth and smiles with quick and cost effective treatments.
If you’re interested in cosmetic dentistry, Lethbridge’s London Road Dental can help you understand each procedure and determine if you’re a good candidate for a procedure. Some cosmetic dentistry procedures require your existing teeth to be altered, so be sure to contact us to learn about your options.

Teeth whitening: Teeth whitening is the process of using whitening gel and/or laser lights to whiten teeth.
Teeth whitening can fix teeth that are yellow or stained from:

Crowns and bridges: Dental crowns are ceramic or metal caps for the tops of your teeth built based on an impression of your teeth so they fit in your mouth perfectly. They are often used in conjunction with dental bridges, which are metal structures crowns can attach to. Crowns and bridges can:

We also offer Invisalign treatments to help you get a straighter smile and improve your bite. To remove gaps, whiten teeth, and have an overall healthier looking smile, contact London Road Dental to learn more about cosmetic dentistry in Lethbridge.
