Cosmetic Dentistry Can Boost Your Confidence
If you aren’t smiling as brightly as you used to, cosmetic dentistry can help. Oral cosmetic services offer a variety of solutions for a wide range of issues. Whatever is causing you problems, we’re sure to have a dental repair solution to get you smiling again. And bright, happy smiles lead to improved self-confidence.
Dental Veneers
Veneers can be used to change the color and/or the shape of your natural teeth, giving you a brand new smile. Veneers place dental material on the front of your teeth. The result is for your teeth to appear perfectly aligned without removing too much from the structure of your natural teeth. Porcelain veneer teeth are the most common type and offer the longest lasting and most realistic-looking option. Composite veneers also are available.
Dental Implants, Bridges, and Crowns
Dental implants are a great solution if you’re missing one or more teeth. Implants create an artificial root to attach replacement teeth. They are long-lasting and durable, and implants are used to fix a variety of problems. Replacing missing teeth not only helps your appearance—it also improves your chewing function, digestive process, and overall oral health.
Dental bridges can be removable, or they can be fixed in place by attaching them to your adjacent natural teeth. Dental bridges, also called fixed partial dentures, look like natural teeth and can replace one or more missing teeth.
A dental crown procedure corrects teeth that are decayed, damaged, cracked, or even just misshapen. Dental crowns permanently cover problem teeth. And the color of the crown is carefully selected to match your natural teeth. Also, crowns can prevent future problems like infection and bone loss.
Laser Gum Reshaping
Lasers can reshape the gum tissue in your mouth. This can improve your appearance as well as your gum health. Lasers can remove excess gum tissue that doesn’t look the way you want it to. Or lasers can reshape your gum tissue, based on the size and alignment of your teeth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Still have a mouth full of silver fillings? Modern cosmetic dentistry offers tooth-colored replacements for those old metal fillings. This solution is called a “restoration” because it restores your tooth’s natural appearance—and it’s sure to restore your beautiful smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening and Straightening
In-office and at-home solutions are available if you want to straighten or brighten your smile. Over time, perhaps your teeth have become crooked, or they’ve darkened in color. These are natural occurrences that affect many millions of Americans. A cosmetic dentist can help.
Teeth whitening or bleaching is used to lighten the color of your natural teeth. Three great options are available, depending on your personal needs:
- We can send you home with a professional teeth whitening kit.
- We can whiten your teeth in our office.
- We can whiten a single tooth that’s become discolored.
And if your teeth are crooked as well as discolored, Invisalign® clear aligners can be used to straighten your teeth and lighten their color—all at the same time.
