Cosmetic dentistry can make an amazing difference in how your smile makes you feel about yourself. Learn more about treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to help transform your look and build self-esteem.
An experienced cosmetic dentist understands what beauty entails. They consider more than just size, shape, and color when it comes to creating beautiful smiles; they also consider proportion and symmetry.
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is one of your greatest assets, communicating so much information about who you are as an individual and often making you look more appealing, successful, confident, and approachable to those around you.
Teeth whitening is one of the easiest and fastest ways to enhance your appearance, often providing instantaneous results.
Cosmetic Dentistry can often be confused with aesthetic dentistry; however, true cosmetic dentists have completed extra training dedicated to this collection of treatments and possess real-world experience, technical know-how, and an artistic flare that make their services highly sought-after. Cosmetic treatments typically include:
Dental Veneers
Veneers are an increasingly popular cosmetic dentistry solution, comprising thin porcelain shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. Their color and translucence match that of your natural tooth enamel for an inconspicuous finish that complements any smile.
Veneers can address many dental problems, from chipped, misshaped, discolored, and gapped teeth to gaps and crookedness, as well as help correct gummy smiles.
On your initial veneer visit, your dentist will remove a very thin layer of enamel (less than the thickness of a fingernail), take an impression of your teeth to create a mold for permanent veneers, then attach them using special cement on subsequent visits – after removing excess cement and testing fitment as necessary.
Dental Bonding
Confidence and beauty are integral parts of a healthy self-image. Cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental bonding can restore your teeth to their natural appearance and give you renewed self-assurance.
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin to fill gaps, correct discoloration spots, and enhance the shape of your teeth. After matching its color to that of surrounding teeth, our dentist will etch and condition your surface before applying a natural-looking resin that can then be sculpted into place, cured, and polished for an attractive natural finish.
Bonding may not correct crookedness in teeth, but it’s an excellent solution for fixing chips and cracks and closing small gaps between them. Furthermore, bonding is less invasive and cost-effective than other cosmetic procedures like veneers.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps designed to cover and conceal damaged, decayed, or unattractive teeth. Made of porcelain (which mimics the appearance and texture of natural teeth) or other durable materials like metal, dental crowns may protect affected tooth surfaces while remaining attractive and functioning correctly.
Crowns can restore chipped, cracked, or broken teeth; restore those worn down from excessive grinding; fix crookedness in your smile and fill in gaps for an appealing and complete smile, all thanks to crowns!
Cosmetic dentists consider how the relationships of teeth affect other facial features when designing your ideal smile. They understand how your smile can impact lips, nose, and eyes – ultimately leading to increased confidence and well-being for you and those around you.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an increasingly popular solution to fill gaps left by missing teeth, helping restore a fuller, healthier smile while increasing self-esteem.
Acknowledging missing teeth helps prevent facial tissues from sagging and related issues caused by tooth loss. They keep adjacent teeth in their proper positions, preventing any shifting that would make chewing and speech more challenging.
Cosmetic dentists possess advanced training in cosmetic dental treatments and can create stunning results. Their experienced hands, extensive technical knowledge, and refined artistic touch allow them to provide outstanding care from whitening and bonding through crowning and teeth reshaping; even replacing missing teeth with bridges if necessary – helping patients reclaim their beautiful smile in no time!
