Cosmetic dentistry offers transformative solutions to enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether you have missing teeth, misaligned teeth, or other dental concerns, these issues can be effectively addressed. Here is an overview of some of the most popular cosmetic dental services available today.
Professional teeth whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental services offered. A brighter, whiter smile can enhance your appearance and contribute to a more youthful look. While over-the-counter whitening products are readily available, they cannot achieve the same level of effectiveness as professional teeth whitening services. Many dentists also provide advanced take-home kits, enabling you to achieve professional-grade results conveniently at home.
Dental veneers are custom thin shells made from a porcelain or composite material bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. For individuals who have chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, dental veneers can provide a near-instant smile makeover that offers natural-looking and perfectly aligned teeth. For this reason, many use dental veneers to improve the appearance of their teeth.
If you have several cosmetic dentistry concerns, dental veneers can be a successful solution to address all of them at once.
Dental bonding is the process of applying resin that is tooth-colored to your teeth to repair any chips, cracks, or obvious gaps that are in your smile. It can greatly improve how discolored or misshapen teeth appear, which can improve your overall smile.
Dental bonding can be completed in a single visit and is very cost-effective. It is a quick and effective way to improve how your teeth look without having to do more invasive cosmetic procedures. Plus, if you only have one discolored or misshapen tooth, Dental bonding allows you to dress the tooth on its own without having to involve nearby teeth.
Most patients prefer clear aligner trays over bracket-based braces to straighten teeth. Invisalign is one of the most well-known aligner systems available for orthodontic treatment. Clear aligners work by slowly replacing trays to gradually shift your teeth from whatever misalignment you have to the correct position over time. Once your teeth adapt to one tray, you use the next tray to continue the progression.
Dental crowns are custom covers made from porcelain, metal, or other materials to fit a damaged or decayed tooth. They are often necessary to repair extensively damaged teeth, especially after a root canal. Some dental crowns are used with dental implants or bridges for patients who have missing teeth and they need a solution to improve their smiles. For the most part, dental crowns can look and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants consist of a crown placed on top of a titanium post that has been surgically placed in the jawbone where a tooth was removed. It’s one of the most realistic ways of replacing missing teeth both functionally and cosmetically and most people cannot tell that you ever lost a tooth.
Dental implants can also be used to reconstruct larger segments of your smile. If you are missing several teeth in a row, a single implant can be used to secure a dental bridge that replaces several teeth with one implant. If you are missing a large number of teeth, a series of posts can be used to secure a larger bridge.
While dental implants are a versatile solution to fixing dental problems, they are also one of the more invasive options. They can often require several dental surgeries depending on the health of your jawbone. For example, you may need a bone graft to replenish the jawbone in the area where the implant needs to be placed before having any other work done.
Dental fillings are a common dental procedure that can be tailored to match the color of your teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are designed to fit seamlessly with special coloring to match the surrounding tooth, making it look like your natural tooth has been restored.
