What Types Of Cosmetic Dentistry Are Right For Me?

A smile is the first thing that a person notices about you. A bright, healthy smile can have a significant impact on your confidence. However, not everyone is happy with their smile. If you are also worried about the appearance of your smile, don't worry; cosmetic dentistry can help.

Cosmetic Dental Procedures

Many patients see cosmetic dentistry as a way to improve their self-confidence and self-esteem. However, these procedures also serve a practical purpose. For example, a chipped tooth or missing teeth can affect your speaking and eating abilities, and missing teeth can eventually lead to bone loss in the jaw. Fortunately, there are many treatments available to address these issues. Here are just a few of the cosmetic dental treatments that can help you. 

Tooth Whitening

There are many different types of stains that can affect the teeth. Some are extrinsic stains, which occur on the outside of the teeth and can be effectively treated with whitening agents. A teeth whitening treatment by your cosmetic dentist may be right for you if you suffer from stained or discolored teeth. 

Porcelain Veneers

If you have a tooth that is cracked, broken, misshapen, or discolored, porcelain veneers could be the best option for you. These thin shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, covering up the imperfections and providing you with a straighter-looking smile. They also can close gaps between teeth, improve the shape or color of a stained tooth, and even make your teeth appear straighter.

If you've considered cosmetic dental treatments to look and feel better, contact your dentist today to see if porcelain veneers are an option. They'll provide you with a thorough examination to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a non-invasive, cost-effective technique used to repair minor cosmetic flaws such as cracks, chips, or discolorations. Dental bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of your tooth. The tooth-colored resin is molded and shaped over your tooth to cover the desired area with a natural-looking finish. Once the resin is applied and set in place, your dentist will perform additional shaping and polishing as needed until your tooth looks completely natural.

Orthodontics

If your teeth are crooked or you have a bite disorder, orthodontic treatment may help to correct these issues and improve your overall dental health. We offer several styles of braces and Invisalign® to help straighten the teeth and correct the bite.
