Improve Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry refers to any dental procedure that aims to improve a patient’s smile and overall appearance. As with most dental work, cosmetic procedures can be performed to address a variety of issues. Some cosmetic procedures address only the appearance of the smile, while others address both its appearance and function.

Most Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a great solution for chipped, stained, and misaligned teeth. They are thin shells that fit over the front of your teeth and are custom-made to blend in with your smile. They require less preparation than dental crowns and offer a conservative approach to correcting smile imperfections.

Dental Bonding

Composite dental bonding is a conservative and relatively inexpensive way to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discolored. It involves applying a tooth-colored putty-like resin to the surface of the tooth, then hardening it with a special light. The resin is shaped and polished to resemble a natural tooth.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to completely improve your smile. Whiter teeth can help your smile appear more vibrant and more vibrant to the eye.

Professional teeth whitening treatments can whiten teeth by up to eight shades, leaving patients with a bright, beautiful smile. This treatment is much more effective than over-the-counter whitening kits, which can leave patients with uneven results. Professional teeth whitening treatments are safe, effective, and stain-resistant.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are commonly used for cosmetic purposes. People get dental crowns to fix teeth that are broken, chipped, or discolored. Dental crowns can also be used to protect teeth from further damage, such as bruxism or grinding.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. A typical bridge consists of a replacement tooth (or teeth) anchored to adjacent healthy teeth or to dental implants. A dental bridge not only fills in the gap left by a missing tooth but also prevents surrounding teeth from drifting out of position.

Smile Makeover

If you are unhappy with your smile, a smile makeover may be right for you. A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Smile makeovers can involve a combination of cosmetic dental treatments.
