Your teeth can say a lot about you. Not only do they help you speak, but they are integral to your smile and help you convey all sorts of emotions to the people around you. Over the years, your teeth go through some rough wear and tear, and it can show more and more over time. If you think your smile could look better, read on to learn about how cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the grin of your dreams.
Cover Up with Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Being made from a ceramic material that reflects light like real teeth, a single veneer can fit in amongst a mouth full of natural teeth. They are used to cover up imperfections like:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps or minor misalignment
- Small or misshapen teeth
- Stains that resist whitening procedures
Treat Your Teeth Like Royalty – Get Them a Crown!
Typically made of porcelain or metal fused to porcelain, a crown is used to restore a damaged or misshapen tooth. An impression is taken of the tooth for fabrication. The dental lab then uses the impression to create a crown that looks like the other teeth and will fit over the problem tooth. The dentist then bonds the crown over the tooth. The result is a natural-looking and durable addition to your smile.
Fill in the Chips with Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a quick but excellent fix for small chips and cracks. The dentist uses a small amount of composite resin to fill in chip or a crack in the tooth. The procedure usually requires only one visit. The results are beautiful and with minimal care can last for about a decade.
Make Them Shine with Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening treatments can be both in-office or at home, but those performed at the dentist’s office are more powerful, typically whitening the teeth by eight to ten shades. It can work on both intrinsic (beneath the surface of the tooth) and extrinsic (above the surface of the tooth) stains.
Whitening works through a gel typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The dentist places small barriers to protect the gums and other soft tissues before applying the gel. In-office, the procedure is usually done in one visit while the at-home kits use trays that typically must be worn a few hours a day for two weeks. At-home kits from the dentist’s office are far superior to those that can be purchased at pharmacies.
Make Them Like New with a Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a holistic and strategic approach to cosmetic restoration. Your dentist will examine you before discussing a customized treatment plan which brings together a special blend of cosmetic and restorative procedures to get your teeth looking as best as they can.
Cosmetic dentistry can restore teeth to a youthful appearance in as little as a single visit. Your dentist is the best source of information about how cosmetic dental procedures can effectively and economically shave years from your appearance.
