Your smile can have a big impact on your confidence. At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental, we offer cosmetic dentistry treatments designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth and gums while supporting your oral health. Whether you want to brighten, straighten, or reshape your smile, our team will create a personalized plan to help you support your smile goals.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. Treatments can range from subtle enhancements, like teeth whitening, to full smile makeovers involving veneers, dental crowns, and bonding. Our goal is to combine aesthetic improvements with functional care, giving you a beautiful smile that supports long-term oral health.
We offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments in Maple Ridge, including:
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, carefully crafted shells placed over the front surface of teeth to correct issues like discoloration, chips, minor misalignment, uneven spacing, or worn teeth. Our in-house dental veneers options include durable, naturally translucent porcelain veneers and natural-looking Lumineers®, ultra-thin veneers requiring minimal tooth preparation.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest ways to enhance your smile. At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental, we offer in-office whitening treatments for immediate results as well as take-home kits using Opalescence™ products for gradual, convenient brightening. Each whitening plan is tailored to your teeth, enamel condition, and desired level of brightness.
Whether your teeth have become discolored from coffee, tea, wine, or aging, professional whitening may help improve the appearance of your teeth.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin to repair and enhance teeth. This treatment is completed in a single visit, and can be ideal for fixing minor imperfections, such as chips, cracks, gaps, or surface discoloration. The resin is carefully shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, creating a natural, seamless look.
Gummy Smile Treatment with Gum Contouring
For patients who feel their smile shows too much gum tissue, gum contouring or crown lengthening can reshape and balance the gumline. These procedures remove excess gum tissue or adjust the gum position to create a more proportionate, aesthetically pleasing smile. Beyond improving appearance, gum contouring can also help expose more of the tooth surface, making teeth easier to clean and maintain.
Each treatment is customized based on your anatomy and smile goals, designed to support a natural-looking smile and overall oral health.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover may combine multiple cosmetic and restorative treatments, including veneers, bonding, whitening, and crowns, designed to enhance the appearance of your smile according to your treatment plan.
Facial Injectables
Facial injectables may be used for both dental and medically indicated purposes, such as alleviating jaw tension or supporting facial aesthetics, depending on individual suitability. These treatments can complement cosmetic dentistry by improving facial balance and supporting a relaxed, natural appearance. Suitability is carefully evaluated through consultation with a licensed practitioner, and treatments are tailored to meet individual health and cosmetic goals.
At Maple Ridge Smiles, we provide information about facial injectables for dental or medically indicated purposes, such as jaw tension or facial aesthetics.
