Do you want a whiter, straighter smile? If your answer is yes, then you are a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dentistry that focuses on the appearance of your smile.
Common cosmetic dentistry treatments include:
Teeth Whitening
During your consultation, we’ll discuss whitening treatments and help you decide which one is best for you. During your treatment, we’ll apply a bleaching gel to your teeth. This gel will penetrate your teeth, breaking down stains. It’s safe, and it won’t cause damage to your tooth enamel.
Composite Fillings
When a tooth is damaged or decayed, a composite filling can restore the tooth to a healthy state. Composite fillings are also known as tooth-colored fillings. They are made of a resin-based material that blends well with your natural teeth, and it’s the same material we use for cosmetic bonding.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, sometimes called caps, are custom tooth-shaped restorations that are used to repair and strengthen damaged or missing teeth. In some cases, the dental crown will be combined with a dental bridge. A dental crown can be used to protect and strengthen the entire tooth, improve its appearance, or cover a dental implant.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by suspending one or more artificial teeth. The dental bridge is anchored in place by cement or dental implants. The artificial teeth are called pontics.
Dental bridges can treat mild to severe tooth loss. For patients with one missing tooth, a dental bridge may be a good option. For patients with multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge may be paired with a dental implant or partial denture.
Dental Veneers
If your teeth have minor imperfections, such as chips, stains, or gaps, then porcelain veneers may be able to give you a smile you’ve always wanted. Veneers cover the front of your teeth with a thin shell of porcelain. They are custom-made to give you the appearance and function of your best smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into your jaw. Over time, the implant fuses with your jawbone, becoming a strong, permanent anchor for replacement teeth.
