TEETH WHITENING

The process of whitening teeth helps to brighten your smile. It’s a quick and affordable way to give yourself a more vibrant smile. When your teeth are bright and shining, you will feel more confident in yourself.

Teeth whitening removes stains and helps your teeth appear whiter than before. It’s a simple process that’s appropriate for many people. There are two options for whitening:

Custom take-home whitening kits
In-chair whitening

Results for teeth whitening treatments vary in effectiveness based on the beginning shade of your teeth. Most people see noticeable results shortly after treatment begins.

If you are seeking to whiten your teeth, book an appointment at McDonald Dental in Gympie.

VENEERS

Getting veneers is like getting a whole new smile. Veneers sit on top of your existing teeth and give you an attractive, protective covering that looks just like your real teeth. Veneers can cover chipped, broken or discoloured teeth.

Veneers are made from porcelain or resin composite. They’re moulded to match the shape of your teeth, helping to keep your natural teeth healthy underneath while you enjoy the benefits of a flawless smile.

Investing in a set of veneers gives you several benefits, namely:

Veneers retain their colour well
Gaps, chips, cracks & stains are all covered seamlessly
They look completely natural
You can eat & drink as usual
Enhance your existing teeth

If you think veneers might be a good option for you, consult with Dr. Francois McDonald for a professional recommendation. We can give you the information you need to decide if veneers are appropriate for you and help you take the next steps forward.

Inlays and Onlays of Teeth — Dental Services in Gympie, QLD

INLAYS & ONLAYS

Cavities and tooth decay are treated by removing the affected part of the tooth and covering the exposed area with filling, inlays or onlays. While fillings are just a particular material used to fill in the gap, inlays and onlays cover more of the surface area of the tooth. That gives a more uniform appearance to your teeth while preventing the cavity or decay from continuing to spread.

Inlays and onlays serve a similar function, with inlays resting between the cusps of your teeth and onlays covering the larger biting surface of your tooth. They are not appropriate in every instance, but either treatment is well served for cases where a normal filling isn’t enough, such as:

Restoring larger cavities or areas of decay
Repairing weakened teeth
Dental issues too serious for fillings, but with a tooth that should not yet be extracted

Both inlays and onlays are safer and less invasive than many other dental procedures. You get to retain a larger portion of your natural teeth, rather than extracting them. These treatments also don’t discolour over time and they will last for years if you maintain proper oral hygiene.

Cosmetic dentistry services from McDonald Dental are ideal for restoring your confidence and enhancing your natural teeth. We are a friendly team of experienced professionals ready to help you make the best choice for your long-term health and happiness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CAN I GET TEETH WHITENING IF I HAVE SENSITIVE TEETH?

Even if you have sensitive teeth, there may be tooth whitening treatments that are appropriate for you. The first step is always to visit the dentist and check on your oral health. You dentist will then assess your suitability for whitening treatments.
HOW LONG DOES TEETH WHITENING LAST?

Teeth discolouration occurs due to habits and lifestyle. Smoking, drinking coffee, and poor dental hygiene contribute to yellow teeth. If you continue with those habits, your teeth will suffer discolouration in the future. With lifestyle changes and regular touch-ups, you can expect the results to last longer.
WHAT’S THE COST OF TEETH WHITENING TREATMENTS?

Many different things factor into the costs of whitening. At-home treatments will generally be cheaper than in-chair treatment. Still, both costs will vary depending on your specific needs.
DO VENEERS HURT?

Getting veneers is usually a pain-free process. We may use local anaesthesia to numb the area and eliminate the possibility of discomfort. It’s our goal to help you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
DO VENEERS LAST A LONG TIME?

There’s no way to tell how long veneers may last outright. However, good dental hygiene and regular check-ups will ensure you get the most out of your veneers.
