Cosmetic Treatment

Have you ever taken an unforeseen trip to the grocery store looking completely unkempt in a rush to buy an emergency item – say cough medicine or a must-have poster board for your child’s school assignment?

On such an occasion you will inevitably bump into someone you know. How do you feel in your sloppy sweatpants and stained T-shirt? Or worse yet, pajamas.

Our outward appearance impacts the way we feel inside. In professional situations, don’t you feel more self-assured when you are wearing flattering, pulled-together business clothes? Aren’t you more likely to voice your opinion when you are comfortable in your own skin?

When facing someone for the first time, don’t you feel better when you are having a good hair day or have cleared up a recent bout of acne? Blind dates are brutal when you don’t feel at the top of your game.

Attractive clothing, well-groomed hair, and a fit body boost confidence for most Kelowna folks. But do you know what people notice before any of these features? Your face. Specifically, your smile and eyes. Multiple studies have shown that sensational teeth and eyes immediately capture attention. Now, it’s difficult to change your eyes unless you get colored contacts. But sensational smiles are within reach because Kelowna dentists can work miracles with innovative cosmetic treatment.

With specialized training, finely honed skills, modern equipment, and quality lab services, skilled dentists can turn unattractive smiles into stunning first-impressions using a variety of technologically-advanced cosmetic dental procedures. Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair patients who have received smile transformations report feeling more confident, more attractive, more effective at work, and happier in their relationships. Some even say that they take more risks and notice more success.

If you are not pleased with your smile, you are probably not aware of the affect it has had on your confidence and self-image. Don’t hide behind an unsightly smile any longer. Call Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair at 250-860-8900 today to schedule an informative cosmetic dental consultation.

 

We work hard to exceed your expectations.

A mouth full of unattractive teeth can really distract from a beautiful person’s appearance. Having a red-carpet-worthy smile can bring you increased satisfaction and confidence in your social interactions with your distinguished A-list friends.

This smile, however, doesn’t have to have a celebrity price tag. Five-star yet affordable cosmetic treatment and VIP treatment has been available since 2004 at Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair. Come see what our expertise and experience can offer. When you ask about the cost of veneers in Kelowna, British Columbia, don’t forget to ask about the cost of dental implants as well.

What are dental veneers? Veneers are paper-thin shells of durable material (ceramic, porcelain, or composite resin) bonded to the teeth to provide strength and add beauty to any smile.

What are dental implants? A wonderful long-term solution for missing teeth, dental implants are artificial roots surgically implanted in the jaw to anchor a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

The best way to find out if veneers or dental implants are a possibility is to meet with Stephen Malfair DDS at Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair for a smile makeover consultation.

We can create a smile you will be proud to flash at all of your public appearances throughout Hollywood or on location in Kelowna, V1W 3C6, or Mission.

Dr. Malfair is raising the bar as our practice strives to deliver excellence with every possible service:

Sedation Dentistry
Porcelain Veneers
Cosmetic Treatment
Dental Implants
Teeth Whitening

In today’s post, we will focus on important behaviors that affect oral health. Of course, effective brushing and flossing are two important habits for healthy teeth, but there are many more things we can do to keep a healthy smile.

Diet Do’s

• Do eat a nutritious diet with a variety of foods. This is necessary for overall physical health and a strong immune system.
• Do enjoy calcium-rich dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt to neutralize acids that are detrimental to enamel.

Diet Don’ts

• Don’t eat sugary foods. Sugar generates the production of detrimental cavity-causing acids that weaken enamel and lead to tooth decay.
• Don’t snack throughout the day. This revs up plaque production and subjects the teeth to continual contact with acids.
• Don’t chew on ice. (It really can crack teeth.)
• Don’t drink energy drinks. They have many substances that are detrimental to teeth.

Other Important Tips

• Don’t use your teeth as tools. It is smarter to cut that knotted shoelace than to gnaw at it to try to untangle it.
• Don’t get piercings in or around your mouth.
• Don’t ignore tooth pain or sensitivity.
• If you have children, speak with Dr. Malfair about water fluoridation. If your municipal water supply is not fluoridated, you may want to give your children fluoride supplements.
• Don’t use a medium or hard bristle toothbrush. It can damage gums.
• If you have an eating disorder – seek professional help right away. Bulimia and anorexia are extremely damaging to teeth. (Not to mention the toll they take on the heart and other organs.)

We encourage all of our patients to maintain a lifestyle that advances dental health as well as overall physical health. At Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair, we serve the Kelowna area with exceptional dental care including general and cosmetic dentistry. Ask us about Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants, Sedation Dentistry and Teeth Whitening.

Cracked teeth can be painful, unattractive, and expensive to repair. Today’s post in the Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair dental blog contains an easy-to-follow list of tips to keep your teeth whole and strong.

1. Avoiding a cracked tooth means avoiding chewing on hard things. Mind-blowing, right? Mission and V1Y 8B7 dental patients should steer clear of ice, hard candies, hard nuts, popcorn, and beef jerky. Also be careful with pitted fruits – that peach may be soft but if you bite hard into the stone, you could damage a tooth.

2. It is essential to protect your teeth while engaging in any physical activity where you mouth can be hit. If you enjoy pick-up basketball games, indoor soccer leagues, V1W 3C6 rec center flag football, and many other activities, you should be using a well-fitting mouth protector.

3. Don’t use your teeth as a tool. Take a minute to find a pair of scissors before you tear open a package of lunch meat or rip the price tag off a new piece of clothing with your teeth. Use a nutcracker for nuts. A quality dental crown can cost hundreds of dollars.

4. Most people know that grinding your teeth is harmful, but did you know that it can lead to a cracked tooth? If you know or suspect that you are a tooth grinder, speak with your Kelowna dentist so you can address the problem with stress reduction techniques and/or a mouth guard. Frequent headaches or jaw pain can often be attributed to nighttime teeth grinding.

5. Lastly, make sure that you visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Your dentist can alert you to conditions that might predispose you to cracked teeth, such as having an uneven chewing surface or brittle teeth. Your dentist may also discover tiny cracks you aren’t aware of. These cracks can then be repaired before further damage or decay occurs.

If you already have a cracked tooth, never fear! Treatment is available for cracks small and large. Veneers, cosmetic dental bonding, inlays/onlays, fillings, and dental implants are all used to repair or replace damaged teeth.

So you’ve lost some teeth and now are reluctant to smile because of the gaps. If only you could go back in time and recover that full-toothed smile you once had. Guess what? With dental implants, you can!

For most patients, a tooth implant is the perfect replacement for both the root and crown of a tooth. They feel so natural that implant recipients forget that they ever lost a tooth in the first place.

A tooth implant is anchored into the jawbone with a sturdy metal post. It doesn’t move around like dentures, and unlike a dental bridge, it preserves healthy jawbone and prohibits bone recession. After the post is completely enmeshed with the jawbone, the supporting device (called an abutment) and beautiful crown are solidly attached to the post. Some patients are able to undergo all three parts of the process at once.

If you’ve lost several teeth, you may be a good candidate for implant-anchored dentures. Talk to Dr. Malfair to learn more.

Another way to go back in time is to whiten your teeth to the dazzling color they were when you were a teenager. There are several different types of tooth whitening systems, from same-day procedures to at-home treatments. Again, communicate with Dr. Malfair about your goals and budget.

Have you ever wished your smile looked like it did before you had any dental caries? (Many of us can’t remember that far back!) Talk to us about tooth-colored fillings. White fillings match your teeth, and completely improve your smile without crowns.

Perhaps you have chipped a tooth. We have multiple solutions to repair that problem as well. Talk to us about your goals for your smile. We look forward to formulating a custom treatment plan to transform your smile. Call today!

Many Kelowna professionals, students and retirees are enjoying the lasting benefits of aesthetic dentistry. A beautiful smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great! When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; “Oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look fantastic!”

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new movie-star grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and super confident.

We have talked about different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures available in Kelowna in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that fabricate veneers. One of the most well-known brand names is Lumineers.

Crowns correct more extensive tooth problems. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury or periodontal disease.

Dental implants are one of the best fixes for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular and effective alternative to bridges and partial dentures in Mission and surrounding areas, especially among middle-aged professionals and people in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional tooth whitening in your dentist’s office is the least invasive and quickest way to brighten your smile several shades. One of the most popular systems is called Zoom!.

If you are interested in any of these safe and effective procedures, schedule a consultation at Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair today. Even if you are still a bit hesitant, remember: discussing your options with a dentist does not require a commitment of any kind. It is merely a relaxed way to get the most reliable information.

We are waiting for your call. Love Your Smile – Dr. Stephen Malfair can be reached at 250-860-8900.

I have been creating spectacular smiles at my Kelowna dental practice since 2004. Each one of my smile makeover patients values their new smile almost as much as I value their trust.

My loyal patients, along with my dedicated dental team, have made my professional career particularly rewarding.

Working as a dentist in Kelowna is more than just a job. Likewise, a smile makeover is more than straight, white, beautiful teeth – though that’s a big deal in itself!

My patients report that their new smile affects many areas of their life. Some have noticed increased effectiveness in their profession. Others enjoy a richer social life because they are now able to smile, laugh, and eat without self-consciousness.

One of my Mission patients who had been embarrassed by his damaged teeth for years says his new youthful smile has given him greater confidence and ambition.
