Cosmetic dentistry for Clayfield residents

Clayfield has strong demand for cosmetic dental work. Many patients from the area come to Ivy for veneers, whitening, or bonding as part of improving or maintaining their smile.

Porcelain veneers. Custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of teeth. Ivy uses a digital workflow for veneer cases, including intraoral scanning and digital design. This gives greater control over shape, shade, and fit. Porcelain veneers start from $1,200 per tooth. Four appointments from consultation to final bonding is typical. Read more about veneers at Ivy Dental.

Composite bonding. A single-appointment option for chipped, gapped, or slightly misshapen teeth. Composite resin is shaped directly onto the tooth and light-cured. Results are immediate, though longevity is shorter than porcelain.

Teeth whitening. In-office whitening provides visible results in a single visit. Take-home whitening kits offer gradual improvement over one to two weeks. Both options are available at Nundah. Pricing and comparison details are in our whitening guide.

Digital smile design. Before committing to cosmetic treatment, you can see projected outcomes using digital imaging. This helps set realistic expectations and gives you a clear picture of what treatment can achieve.
