Having a smile you can be proud of can boost your self-confidence and improve your sense of well-being. If you’re concerned about any of the following, then a cosmetic dentist is the person to call: chipped, misaligned, or discolored teeth.
Below we explore some of the several ways a cosmetic dentist can help you to effortlessly enjoy smiling again every day by addressing the issues.
First of all, it’s important to understand what cosmetic dentistry is. Similar in definition to cosmetic surgery, it focuses on the way your smile looks by addressing the key issues or concerns you may have. It involves several different techniques that can drastically improve the way your teeth and smile look.
At Erik’s Dental Group we prioritize procedure safety and preserving your natural teeth while working with what you have to create an optimal and aesthetic smile. Our professional dental team is committed and trained to help you with all your dental concerns. We simplify the process, making it much more accessible and easy for our clients to understand so they feel confident and relaxed.
There are many solutions depending on your unique needs, which is why we tailor the experience to your priorities. See below some of the most common smile concerns we see and address. The solutions below are always optional and every person has a unique need and preference.
Many factors can contribute to the yellowing or discoloration of your teeth. Some are avoidable and some are not. Causes such as smoking, red wine, lots of coffee and tea, poor oral hygiene, and limited exposure to fluoride are avoidable. Whereas, genetics, dental trauma, aging, certain medications, diseases, or cancer treatments can be unavoidable.
We have in-office teeth whitening solutions or we can give you everything you need to do it yourself in the comfort of your home. Either option is effective and long-lasting for treating discoloration, no matter what caused it. The in-office solution is faster due to the process we go through to discover and treat the root cause of the color change.
Porcelain Veneers are ultra-thin shells that cover the front of your teeth to improve the way they look. This solution addresses several issues such as tooth discoloration, chipped or worn teeth, uneven gaps, and irregular tooth shapes. Veneers can go wrong when they do not match your natural tooth shape, size, and color. We offer Lumineers to our clients which are a longer-lasting and quicker solution for teeth aesthetics.
Surprisingly, about 178 million Americans are missing at least one of their teeth. Dental implants provide a simple and permanent solution for this kind of issue. We secure a titanium post directly into the jawbone, which eventually fuses with the bone itself making it possible to install an artificial tooth replacement.
This is not for everybody, so it’s important to speak to our team and find out if this is the right next step for you.
If you’re struggling with crooked teeth, overcrowding, under-bite, overbite, impacted teeth or overlapping then Orthodontics would be the appropriate solution for you. After a proper examination, our in-house Orthodontist will recommend a necessary solution such as: braces, clear aligners, or retainers to gradually adjust your teeth for an improved overall smile.
Tooth-colored bonding is a good option for smaller imperfections such as tooth chips, discoloration or decay. A tooth-colored resin will be applied to the affected area in such a way that it shapes, bonds, and stays in place to ensure optimal aesthetic results. Where veneers will cover the entire tooth, this option only covers the necessary space which makes it a more localized treatment.
It’s not difficult to believe that any reshaping or change that happens inside your mouth can impact the way your face looks on the outside too. Cosmetic Dentistry doesn’t only improve your teeth, it improves facial symmetry by adding support to your jaw and cheeks. If you avoid smiling, for example, you create muscle tension in your face, and if you’re missing a tooth, your jaw will slowly adapt to the gap. When you repair these imperfections, everything balances out.
