In Scarborough
Transform your smile with cosmetic dentistry at Oasis Dental Centre. Our team helps Scarborough families achieve natural-looking results through dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and professional teeth whitening. We take the time to explain every procedure, work within your budget, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout treatment. Whether addressing chips, gaps, discolouration, or enhancing your smile’s overall appearance, we create a personalized plan that fits your goals and insurance coverage.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile and budget-friendly solution for improving your smile. Using tooth-coloured composite resin, we can repair chips, close gaps, reshape teeth, and cover discolouration — often in a single appointment without the need for anesthesia.
This minimally invasive procedure preserves natural tooth structure and typically causes little to no discomfort. The resin is carefully matched to your existing tooth colour and sculpted to produce seamless, natural-looking results. Bonding is ideal for minor cosmetic corrections and offers a more affordable alternative to veneers or crowns. Most patients notice a noticeable improvement in their smile within an hour per tooth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers provide a permanent solution for dramatic smile transformations. Custom-made, tooth-coloured shells bond to the front of teeth to correct discolouration, worn enamel, misalignment, gaps, and irregular shapes, creating a natural smile that can last 15–20 years.
Although veneers require a larger investment than bonding, they offer superior stain resistance, durability, and a lifelike appearance. We work with skilled dental laboratories to ensure veneers complement facial features without appearing artificial. During your consultation, we discuss whether porcelain or composite veneers best suit your needs, explain the two-appointment process, and review insurance coverage options. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively to achieve your ideal smile.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening produces faster, safer, and more dramatic results than over-the-counter products. We offer in-office Zoom whitening for immediate transformation and take-home kits for gradual brightening at your convenience.
Coffee, tea, red wine, aging, and certain medications can darken teeth over time. Professional-strength whitening penetrates enamel to achieve several shades of improvement — often 6–10 shades brighter after a single Zoom session. Treatments are supervised to maximize results while minimizing sensitivity. Many patients combine whitening with bonding or veneers. Teeth are evaluated beforehand to ensure optimal results and address any underlying dental issues.
Cosmetic Bonding Options
Direct composite bonding applies resin directly to teeth in a single appointment, providing immediate results for minor cosmetic corrections, chip repairs, and gap closure. Edge bonding restores worn or chipped tooth edges, protecting against further damage, while full surface bonding covers larger areas to address significant discolouration or reshape teeth.
For gap closure, resin is carefully applied to adjacent teeth to eliminate spaces while maintaining proper proportions — offering a non-orthodontic solution for small to moderate gaps. Bonding typically lasts 3–10 years, depending on oral habits and location. We provide guidance on care to maximize results, including avoiding hard foods and maintaining excellent hygiene.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is available in several forms depending on the area being treated. Direct bonding improves the tooth in a single visit, edge bonding targets worn or chipped front teeth, and full surface bonding addresses larger corrections. All treatments are carefully colour-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, and many insurance plans provide partial coverage.
Veneer Materials
Porcelain veneers replicate the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, offer high stain resistance, and can last 10–20 years with proper care. Composite veneers are more affordable, require less tooth reduction, and can often be completed in one visit, though they typically last 5–7 years. Ultra-thin prepless veneers are also available for minor cosmetic improvements with minimal enamel removal. The best option is discussed during your consultation based on your goals, timeline, and budget.
Zoom Whitening Process
Zoom whitening is completed in approximately 90 minutes, with results typically ranging from 6 to 10 shades lighter in a single session. A professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel is applied and activated with a specialized LED light in three 15-minute cycles. Fluoride gel is applied at the end to reduce sensitivity. Take-home whitening trays are also available as a gradual alternative for similar results over one to two weeks.
