Why Choose Cosmetic Dentistry?
Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Veneers are a popular choice for many patients, as they provide excellent aesthetic results and require minimal maintenance. They are thin shells of porcelain or composite material placed over the front of the teeth to give them a more uniform and attractive appearance.
Teeth whitening is another popular option for those looking to brighten their smile. Teeth whitening can be done in the office or at home and is a great way to get a brighter, whiter smile.
Moreover, orthodontic treatments, such as braces and Invisalign, are ideal for those looking to straighten their teeth and improve their smile.

Top 5 Modern Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
1. DSD – Digital Smile Design
For the dentist to be able to design the perfect smile, he/she must take into consideration important parameters and aesthetic rules. Smalto Dental Clinic Nicosia offers a cutting-edge Digital Smile Design program that enables both the dentist and the dental technician to digitally try out the aesthetic and functionality of a smile before they proceed.
2. Enameloplasty/Odontoplasty
Odontoplasty is a cosmetic treatment where the size and shape of a tooth are altered to improve its aesthetic contours. The very surface of the tooth’s enamel is reshaped to enhance the tooth’s appearance in a minimally invasive manner. This simple and fast procedure offers drastic aesthetic results in a single visit.
Composite resin is a filling material designed for aesthetic dental restoration. It’s used for cosmetic bonding of front teeth, or for small to medium-sized restorations of back teeth. It has the following characteristics:
It is ideal for patients with spaces or gaps between two teeth – “diastemas.”
It contains no metal and can be shaped to resemble a real tooth.
It fills dental cavities & restores the original strength.
It enhances the tooth’s natural appearance & color.
There is no need for major invasive prosthetic procedures!
At Smalto Dental Clinic, we often apply multiple fillings in a single visit for faster and more effective treatment, and for the patient’s convenience.
A composite or porcelain veneer is the most common aesthetic solution for various dental conditions of the front teeth. Veneers consist of a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface. The dentist applies selected shades of composite resin directly to your teeth and carefully sculpts them into the desired shape.
Veneers:
Improve a tooth’s appearance
Correct discolourations, diastemas (spaces between teeth) or severely cracked, chipped, or crooked teeth.
Protect a damaged tooth surface.
Offer an easy & quick solution (one or two visits to the dentist).
Are suitable for cases that do not require extensive corrections of the front teeth.
Can work as an alternative to crowns, allowing for the healthier maintenance of the tooth structure.
Porcelain veneers consist of a thin, semi-translucent laminate of porcelain that is permanently bonded to your teeth. The dental treatment, is minimally invasive, requiring only a small amount of tooth reduction. Contrary to crowns, dental veneers offer a more conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color and shape.
Porcelain allows us to replicate the shade, edge translucency and surface texture of natural teeth and achieve the most realistic and aesthetic results possible. The procedure often requires only two visits, while veneers can last indefinitely, provided they are well taken care of. They are also more resistant to stains and chipping than regular composite bonding.
However, it may be difficult to improve severely crooked or dark teeth using porcelain veneers. Talk to your dentist about how porcelain veneers can help you improve your smile and boost your confidence.
Full porcelain crowns, also known as metal-free crowns, are dental restorations that completely cover a damaged or weakened tooth. Unlike traditional crowns, which often use a metal substructure to support the porcelain or ceramic outer layer, full porcelain crowns are made entirely from ceramic or porcelain materials. Here are their benefits:
They closely match the natural color and translucency of existing teeth, resulting in a more natural-looking restoration.
They contain no metal, so they are perfect for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies.
They are highly durable and can last for many years with proper care.
They require less tooth structure removal than traditional crowns, helping preserve more of the patient’s natural tooth.
They help improve gum health by reducing the risk of inflammation or irritation from metal-based crowns.
At Smalto Dental Clinic, we offer the highest quality all-ceramic crowns. We select the appropriate type according to your cosmetic needs. Talk to our expert dentists in Nicosia today to learn how you can achieve the smile of your dreams!
