Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures That Will Help You Achieve A Gleaming Smile

Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and bites. Cosmetic dentistry is great for correcting cosmetic imperfections in the teeth. These imperfections include:

• Stained teeth
• Teeth that are chipped
• Gaps between teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Broken and missing teeth
• Misaligned bites

Teeth Whitening

Everyone wants a bright, white smile. Unfortunately, teeth may become yellow or brownish due to age, illness, or poor oral hygiene. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with discolored teeth! Professional teeth whitening treatments can help you regain the bright white smile you once had.

Porcelain Veneers 

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are designed to look like your natural teeth. They are custom-made to look natural, and they are bonded to the surface of your teeth to make your teeth look whiter and to correct gaps, chips, and spaces caused by missing teeth.

Veneers are extremely resistant to stains, and they require very little maintenance. Porcelain reflects light in the same way that your natural teeth do, resulting in a natural look.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to enhance the appearance of your smile. It’s ideal for individuals with minor, aesthetic flaws, such as cracks, chips, small gaps, and discoloration. 

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a dental restoration procedure that replaces one or more missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone and act as replacement tooth roots. Once dental implants have been placed, the dental implants will fuse to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option.

Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign treatment involves wearing clear, plastic aligners over your teeth. The aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours each day and only removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Invisalign aligners are a discreet, comfortable, and convenient way to align and straighten teeth. 

Gum Contouring

Gum contouring involves removing excess gum tissue, which can give your smile a more even appearance. 

Crown Lengthening

If a tooth is too short or appears “gummy” in your smile, your dentist may recommend crown lengthening. During this procedure, a small amount of gum tissue is removed from the tooth to expose more of the tooth’s surface. Your dentist will reshape the tooth, then place a dental crown over it, which will restore the tooth’s size, shape, and color.
