What Does a Holistic Approach to Dental Care Mean?
Basically, a holistic approach means our dentists aim to improve our patients' lives by exploring the connection between oral health issues and chronic illnesses that can affect your entire body. We do this by treating the source of your symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves.
Our Vancouver, BC, dental practice only uses biocompatible dental materials such as zirconium ceramic implants (instead of titanium) to avoid any allergic reactions to metal. Our dentists also safely replace potentially toxic mercury amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite ones .
We also use innovative techniques such as ozone therapy to destroy bacteria in the mouth and platelet-rich fibrin therapy to promote healing.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Include:
Teeth Whitening
The aging process, dark beverages, and tobacco use are just some of the things that can cause your teeth to become stained or yellow. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can brighten your teeth faster and better than whitening products bought in stores. Contact our Vancouver dental clinic about our teeth whitening options.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are a versatile solution to many aesthetic problems. These thin but strong tooth-colored shells are customized to fit directly over front teeth. Veneers can mask flaws such as cracks, chips, breaks, or internal stains that do not respond to whitening treatments. Our veneers are crafted to match the color of your existing teeth.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
If we find a decayed tooth or you broke a tooth, a same-day CEREC crown can restore it in one appointment. A precise digital impression of your smile will be sent to our in-house milling machine, where a customized, biocompatible porcelain crown will be crafted while you relax. The crown will be placed on your tooth in about an hour.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Replacing potentially harmful mercury amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite fillings is one of Enlighten Dental's specialties. Our dentists are certified to perform SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) to make the removal of toxic mercury from your mouth as safe as possible.
Dental Implants
Though they're technically not considered a type of cosmetic dentistry, dental implants can do wonders for your appearance. Implants are regarded as the best way to replace missing teeth. Our dentists can surgically place long-lasting ceramic implants into your jawbone, which will securely support high-quality dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures. The implants act as artificial tooth roots that stimulate healthy bone growth. This can prevent jawbone atrophy caused by missing teeth.
Replacing Mercury Amalgam Fillings Has Health & Cosmetic Benefits
Metallic fillings that contain mercury are potentially toxic and look visually unappealing. Over time, the metal amalgam can cause structural damage to the surrounding tooth structure. A tooth-colored composite filling will be healthier for your body. These non-metal fillings are customized to blend in with the shade and color of your existing tooth.
Caring For Your Enhanced Teeth
Once you've undergone cosmetic dentistry at our Vancouver office, it's important that you maintain the results with the right care and habits:
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry in Vancouver, BC
Q. Will insurance cover cosmetic treatments?
A. If the treatment is being recommended purely for cosmetic reasons, most dental insurance providers will not cover this form of dentistry. Some procedures, like tooth-colored fillings and dental crowns , can be considered medically necessary or restorative in nature. In those cases, your insurance should cover some or all of the treatment. We will verify your coverage before treatment begins to maximize your benefits.
Q. Do cosmetic procedures hurt?
A. Treatments like porcelain veneers or teeth whitening are virtually painless. For other treatments like fillings and crowns, your cosmetic dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic to ensure you do not feel any pain during the procedure. Our Vancouver dental practice also offers sedation options to help you remain relaxed and comfortable during your treatment.
