How Cosmetic Dentist Offers a Natural Smile

Whether it’s a simple tooth whitening or a comprehensive smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry services include aesthetic treatment to give you a natural and attractive smile. The cosmetic dentistry market is flourishing.

Procedures That Are Considered Cosmetic
Cosmetic teeth whitening is such a well-known treatment service that can make a huge difference in your overall appearance. Our dentists can remodel the look of your teeth by using veneers and crowns. Dental procedures covered under cosmetic dentistry are:

  • Bonding
  • Braces
  • Invisalign®
  • Lumineers®
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Teeth Whitening

Cosmetic dental bonding is a single day restoration procedure that offers patients an economical solution. Our dentists use the same tooth-colored filling restoration. It is a putty-like composite resin that is matched to your teeth’s natural color. The composite is directly applied to the tooth. This tooth-colored resin is shaped to correct chipped or cracked tooth. Once it is positioned, we use a curing light that hardens the composite in position. The last step includes polishing and sealing the filling.

Professional teeth whitening promises brighter smiles by treating tooth stains. Staining is caused by bad eating and drinking habits. However, with teeth whitening, you can get superior results quickly in one visit. It is a non-invasive and cost-effective way to improve your smile.

Cosmetic dentists also help patients who are looking forward to having straighter and better-aligned teeth. Gone are the days when people used to wear braces. Now patients opt for Invisalign braces over their traditional metal counterparts.

Invisalign treatment works by applying gentle but constant pressure directly on the patient’s teeth to position it aesthetically. These trays are effective but invisible. Patients are required to visit our office to receive new trays as the teeth continue to shift into their permanent yet desirable location. Invisalign is loved because it is easily removable and requires an easier time maintaining proper oral hygiene. They are transparent and allow patients to enjoy eating their favorite food without worrying about tearing off metal braces.

Porcelain veneers are for patients who want a smile that looks whiter and brighter. Designed from thin pieces of porcelain, they are affixed in front of the teeth to offer amazing results. The treatment process takes 2-3 visits to complete. Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for improving your smile because the color and translucence of porcelain is a perfect match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Since porcelain is stain resistant, it will allow your smile to stay bright for several years. We suggest veneers to patients who are troubled with large gaps between your teeth, correct slightly crooked teeth and restore teeth that are broken, chipped or fractured.

Cosmetic dentistry services offer various options for people who are unhappy with their smile. Schedule a consultation at our dental office to learn about the various types of cosmetic treatment offered and experience the best one for yourself.
